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 :)

Hey there pdr313, Im so sorry that It took me so long to respond! you should be able to proceed past the sewer by pushing the torches into place! walk up to the torches, hold the space bar, and walk toward them! good luck! Im so glad that you are enjoying the game! sorry about all the bugs, it is my first game ever![/quote

Everytime I acquire an item, an error message pops up (something about a frame) and the game closes itself.

What version of windows do you have? This problem has happened before, but only once. I think its my item pop up script playing funny with a version of windows :(
Windows XP

The error message say:

Scrip 'Window_Base' line 45: RGSSError occurred
failed to create bitmap

Also, the text in the save menu won't show. Are you sure you didn't use any fonts other than the one provided?

I dont know anyone else who had trouble with the text in the save menu. I did not use any other fonts. The bitmap issue is definately a problem with my pop up items script. Not to mention windows XP is known for not playing nicely with rpgmaker vx. I'm sorry for your struggle man, maybe someday I will edit the game to work without the pop up script but for now I don't have the time :(

Unfortunately it's caused by one of two things. low visual memory of your computer systems which is aggravated by vx's memory leak. Or an issue with the script I use to pop up items when you collect them.

When did it happen for you sony? were you ever able to collect any items at all? or did the very first item crash your game?

I appreciate that compliment, as well as the effort you are putting into playing my game :) Yeah it does seem that some computers experience the problem and others don't and it's not even all the same os that are having the issue, so i really cant figure it out. short of redesigning how my items in the entire game pop up, i dont know how to fix it. Good luck and let me know if your new computer handles it properly.

So you got it to work?
I;m kind of upset that I only just heard of this game and started playing it. It's amazing! Although I have been trying to figure out how to get out of the sewers and into the ceremony hall for hours xD Great games and wonderful puzzles.

press and hold the space bar, then push the fire pedestals backward into place. Also thank you for the amazing compliments. I'm still looking for someone who enjoys the game to give it a review :) If ud be interested!
I love the game so far, nice story, stunning visuals, and great combat, but I'm kinda stuck, the woman who asks me to get the ingredients never takes them, she just keeps telling me where they are... also, I can't get into the ceremony hall, even tho I have the ticket... Could you give me some hint or is it supposed to be the end so far?

Hey thank you for the kind words. The lady will not take the ingredients until you have ALL of them at once, she will not take one set at a time. As for getting into the hall with the ticket, you find out shortly that the ticket has another use. :) good luck! if you have any other troubles please feel free to post again!
I do have them all, that's the problem...
Ok, I sold every item until I had exactly what she wanted (5,3,1) and it worked, but it didn't when I had more.
