Welcome to ALTER LEGEND.

A tragic accident turns into a source of power. After a massive slaughter of an entire city, at the hands of an elusive titan, the survivors realize they can channel the spirits of the dead. The spirits take shape as monsters, as magic, and as chaos. Join Alek in a struggle to to find out why the great beast Igara, a once peaceful beast, would suddenly rampage, killing thousands.
Explore a massive world in a free roam system that still very much pushes a thick and juicy plot. Choose to sell old gear, or synthesize them into new powerful weapons. Explore dungeons, forests, castles, churches, temples and the depths of your own damn backpack as this game caters to those who like the grind and collect, just as much as it does to those who like to avoid that kind of thing and just soak in a beautiful immersion plot. Challenge yourself with quicktime combos that make skill a bigger factor then level, but still gain experience to multiply the power of that same skill your momma gave you! Not everything is as it seems in Alter Legends. Friends are foes, where foes are friends and the world is constantly changing to continuously bring new game play to the the table. We may have bit off more than we can chew, making this game, but by god were going to finish it, and give it to you for free.
Welcome to Alter Legend, and may your stay be increasingly epic.

(disclaimer**)

Yes there are some minor graphical bugs here and there, but this game is about as polished as it's going to get (not including game breaking bugs.)

I made this game to practice and learn. It's served it's purpose but It's time for me to start clean with all that I have learned. I'm looking forward to bringing you completely polished and professional work in the future, however, when i started this game, I had no idea what I was doing, and the frame work I built it upon has become very very limiting to me. I hope you guys can enjoy it as it is, she is my first child :P Cheers guys.

The Long Long Road.

So I am back from vacation and the first thing I did was PLOW through a mountain of let's plays of my game. ( I put it up privately on another site for lets players to beta test for me).

Now before I go on I need to state this. Alter Legend is my very first full length project and I only made it to practice and learn rpg maker.

I made it in VX and with the release of ACE my engine has become obsolete. Not to mention when I started the project, I had NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING, so this game is built on a really shitty frame work that would be far too much work to fix, so there are a lot of non game breaking kwirks that I never plan on fixing.

why will I not fix these bugs? Because I have learned all I wanted to learn from Alter Legend, it has served it's purpose. I want so badly to start on a fresh project with nice neat, clean ground work, where I can apply all my new good habits from the start.


there is a general consensus that the game is too hard. It's painful to watch as most people struggle because of terrible decision making... whether it's from not taking the time to look for the chests i scattered EVERYWHERE, or if its from not bothering to read the dialogue and then getting lost. Or some people that spam the chain attacks and never use spells at all. I do not blame the players though, How can I? A game is fun, or it isn't I need to investigate how to overcome different players and their different skill sets.

SO, that being said, I will be nurfing monster HP and the damage from certain spells. I will be making it so certain monsters don't respawn, especially monsters in puzzle areas.

I will be increasing the money dropped from killed creatures, and will make edits to certain quests to make things more obvious.

Eventually I will add more content to Mekana city. I will add more side quests, and will drastically expand the relationship system which in the current build is basically unused.

After these changes the game will go into hiatus while I work on a Commercial project with Galv. Alter Legend will be revisited from time to time to not only add to the story and provide more hours of gameplay, but will also slowly polish the game over time.

I want to thank everyone for your interest in the past year and a half of development. I want to thank all my lets players for putting themselves through hell playing my terribly inbalanced game in it's current build lmfao... those videos were hard to watch! And I want to thank Galv and my girlfriend for putting up with me for all this time :D I'm not an easy guy to deal with ^^

Sit tight, the final build of Alter Legend will be up in the next few days :)

I am missing a font I cant see what weapon I have in the equipment screen

I'm getting the same error after the shrine. The screen goes black and into windowed mode and says "RGSS2 Player has stopped working". I'm running Windows 7. I've tried reloading and get the same thing every time. I've actually seen this problem before with XP games on Windows 7....but never vx. Weird! For XP games generally you can add the games .exe file to your DEP whitelist under Advanced System Settings and then the error goes away. I have no idea if this information will help you fix the bug but I thought I'd let you know.
Do an experiment for me. Try getting past that part in windowed mode instead of full screen mode. see if that does the trick O.o


Tried it. Still the same error :( Drat!
u have to be kedding me ! and i was the one who just got excited to find it telling me TO BE CONTINUED !!
so what r ur plans will it really continue or this is just it ? and if that's it then what happend to targoth and what will happen after that final scene gosh so many questions pleas answer as much as possible
anyway great game really enjoyed the drawings along the scenes i've always been looking for old school rpg which have that u made one of my dreams come true lol
and the music really enjoyed them right now i will go to bgm just to pick my favs to lesten to from time to time thanks again u r amazing games creator iam sure u will have a very big name in the future keep up the good work and thank u so much ..
Okay...I'm really excited that I figured out the error myself. I decided to take a look at the event log for my PC. I had 5 errors from the five attempts I made to play your game. I noticed that adobe elements organizer was on the faulting path module for each error. Since I don't use photoshop elements I uninstalled it from my machine and now the game works! I suggest anyone else who has this error check their event log. It may not be the same story as mine but it's worth a try.

Lmfao how do you have the Garboyals Bracers AND the Gargoyles Armor at the same time? Didn't I make it so you had to give up one to get the other? Or did I make one available in two different places? Lmao, I can't actually remember O.o
What is the answer to the temple elder's riddle? I know it's in the room, and I've given every object answer to no avail. Please provide the answer so I can move on. Thanks.

The download size is too big, I'm having trouble downloading the whole thing.
I am so aggravated! I saved with Vance and Arenna but somehow when I came back to the game and opened my save, I am in a totally different place with Alec and Garrett. I am only LV 3 and the Golems kill me quickly and there seems to be no way to win this fight and continue.
I want to play this game but not to start all over again...partly because of the words running off screen and becoming irritating to try and read it. Also the screen where you make all your choices is rather jumbled and blends together to the eye. The chain effect is really difficult and I am not exactly sure when to strike for a chain effect. No doubt its a learned skill as you do it more often.

Anyway it was a good game up til now! I found the bread loop Dodo was talking about and was waiting ro find the milk and especially the Tears mentioned!

I havn't heard of anyone else having a problem saving. please check to make sure you have not saved in a different slot or something silly like that. otherwise im really sorry that happened :( as for the text running off the screen, that actually doesnt happen if you install the font supplied in the game folder. please go into your alter legend folder, go into fonts, then right click on the font and say install. that will make everything fit properly, you computer doesnt have the font installed and is trying to improvise, thats why everything looks wrong.

good luck!

Great game so far.

Though I get a blank screen or freeze after I encounter the guys in the Shrine.
I cannot go no further.
That's really bizarre, does it ever give you an error message? What color is the blank screen? And what operating system are you using? Does it happen every time?

What is the very last thing you see before the freeze, like... exactly what words are said last?

I get the not responding error after he says "VAAANCE!!!"
And does RGSS error.

Oh, maybe you haven't put a fade in as well

Nope, I checked that. there is a fade it. There doesnt actually seem to be anything wrong with the event... I have no idea what is causing this... A: it only happens to some people, and B: one person actually fixed the issue by uninstalling adobe essentials organizer and photoshop essentials... jesus...
