Spirit Recollection is a forever-free game I've been making as a hobby for the past three months or so. The project started in probably December 2012 or so, and is a sort of evolution of an RPG I tried to make in RPG Maker XP as a teenager. Looking back, I wasn't proud of what I made in the least, never tested it, and didn't worry about character growth or anything, just kept throwing stupid 2-3 screen dungeons in, as well as midis from other RPGs. This time, hardly anything, save the name 'Yinua', is the same, I want to tell a story this time, and I'm hoping that it will be enjoyable to follow along, at least. And this time, I'm building on RPG Maker VX Ace, which is pretty neat, from what I've played around with.
As you may of noticed, I'm no artist. Or musician. So, I'm using the built-in VX Ace RTP. Maybe one day I could find somebody for some graphics I have planned for late in the story, or some music, but for now, I'm going to focus on simply telling a story with limited resources. Hopefully my writing and dialog can carry itself.
The story follows a girl named Ceal, who was born without magic. In this world, everybody who is born shows signs of control over a magical element, fire, lightning, earth, or water, and for poor Ceal, she doesn't seem to have any. Having just turned 20 years old, she's viewed as somebody with 'special' needs, due to the fact that she can't do what everybody else in the world can do. The story will follow her and Yinua, her closest friend, as they travel around, trying to find evidence of some form of magic for Ceal, or perhaps something more.
I'm trying to avoid traditional JRPG clichés here and there, but rereading that summary I just typed, it feels pretty cliché'd. But I have plans for this story, which will be split into two distinct parts. I'd like to try to have 8 or so hours of gameplay by the time the game is finished, and leading into the second part, and ideally, I'd like to be finished with part one by some day. But no promises here, though I do plan on finishing this eventually. Unlike the number of RPG Maker projects I started in my youth, I actually plan on finishing this.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the game!
