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 :)

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.


That's really odd... I know I've done it with MORE before. Maybe one variable is accidentally set to certain value where the rest are certain value OR MORE and you got unlucky :P Thanks for finding a simple solution though!
well, I had to restart the game after switching pcs and it worked fine, must have been a one time thing... Anyway, keep making games, you have a talent for it.

haha you could have copied your saved game over to the new computer :P

p.s. have you actually gotten to the end of the game yet?
yes, I did, it was a nice cliffhanger, I hope you finish the game.

ok on this one now : D

hidden in case of spoilers
pretty cool hair but i dont like Alek's playbook personality ive seen quite enough ecchi to tire of male perverts so i hope that part of him stays silent

mako and the Arenna are not in the house when you check right after the scene outside

guh her way of thinking 2 characters i dont like :(

that aside the mapping looks beautiful!liking the game so far : D

wow that password thing was awesome!a unique,interesting and even difficult way to open secret doors!

does the demo end with vance getting the stone and leaving?
the screen stays black and all you can hear is birds chirping

well in any case overall thoughts for now
-this was a amazing game

-my personal take on the characters
Alek-pretty cool guy overall some of his thoughts are a bit in the grey area but overall i like him

Arenna -i dont like characters that blame them selfs for something that they had nothing to do with,due to stupidity i hate her

vaance-i dont know what it is atm i love this guy,even his phrases after you win a battle are great XD
i had a bad feeling he would turn out to be the games end villain tho :3

-the mapping was amazing,beautiful,cool and every other awesome praise their is
: D

-the battle system is quite cool with a amazing effort to balance the worth of regular attacks and skills

-the door lock was cool looking forward to a bit more of that : D
====

he never wrote that review what a lier XD

well i have the same issue other peeps had the game ends when the odl guy says VAAAAANCE!
the screen just goes black and you hear birds chirping
i also tried to get by this issue by playing in windowed mode
to no avail saddly :(

i forgot to mention that NO ERROR came up when this happened nothing at all :3
i tried fullscreen and wide 5 times each just to make sure it wasn't a fluke but nothing worked

@Shayoko - please edit your posts instead of double and triple posting. It's actually against site rules to do so as it clutters up the page and makes things hard to read.
Thanks.

This is not the end of the game, I have NO idea what causes this because it only happens to SOME people and even some of those people managed to stop it from happening. What operating system do you have? Please try running it in compatability mode in another windows, make sure it is set to administrator. Tell me if that solves the issue. I cannot re create this issue on my end so it is impossible for me to fix :( It is definitely an operating system issue but one that I know can be tackled.
I had to stop playing and write! Where to start... The graphics amazing, the music, hauntingly captivating, the story enthralling! I have played countless RPGs, professional and not and this has to be the most beautiful! I don't know how long the game is, but I have played six hours and don't want it to end. The puzzles are up there, too, except I am having my 11 year old nephew tackle them... I am not that fast on the keyboard.
All and all my compliments to the developers! Bravo! a job exceptionally well done!

Thanks for your video, That's the first time I've actually SEEN the crash. It's odd cus the music is supposed to fade, not just stop dead, and then theres a map change and a fade in. I too have windows 7 64 bit... I have NO idea...It MAY be an audio codec issue, because from what I can tell, its happening when rpgmaker tries to fade the audio of an mp4. Every piece of audio before that point is an mp3. try downloading this codec pack: http://www.windows7codecs.com/
