Notes on the Etgoesian Crisis is an extremely lighthearted adventure with crushingly bleak undertones, set on the home front of a small, rural Nederland-inspired country, during a fictionalised First World War. It's around 5-6 hours long, and features wonderful original artwork, a rich, historically-inspired setting and lots of jokes. It's also set in the same universe as significantly-more-professional game Because We're Here ~Mohnblume und Blauerose~.

Synopsis
In 1784 (1914 in the Wesslinger National Calendar), Etgoes - a small and peaceful country recently dragged into the First Lassallian War - famously saw the extremely dubious succession of a new leader, and subsequently made a sudden about-face in its wartime allegiances. The exact politics of the period, however, have gone incorrectly documented for years. See the secret history of the Etgoesian Crisis through the eyes of oblivious reprehensible nobody Orson E. Rockefeller, a small-town bully with a dramatic flair – who, in mounting a deranged campaign of resistance against his petty and unprofessional local mayor, accidentally and undeservingly went down in history as a great hero.

Features
  • Rich, historically-inspired setting
  • Original portrait art drawn by Aut and coloured by Kiwi
  • Wonderful folksy soundtrack compiled from various sources
  • Thirteen playable characters, mostly optional, to get to know through traveling and support conversations
  • Plenty of sidequests, including recruitment of characters, ultimate weapons and chasing certain backstories
  • A love-letter not just to SNES- and PSX-era jRPGs, but the RM2k and RM2k3 games of the noughties
  • Possibly the best final boss in anything ever

Because We're Here ~Act I~ on Steam

Hello, RMN!

Remember old Eike?? The person who made those very wordy modern-history-based RM2K3 games? (What an introduction.)

Well! I'm delighted to announce that the first episode of my first commercial game has just been released on Steam! It's called Because We're Here, and it's a story-driven, horror-tinted dating sim in a WW1-inspired setting.

It's still very wordy. But they are much better words, and also arranged into much better sentences. Am I selling it??






So, if you liked my Notes On games back in the day, it would be wonderfully good of you to give it a whirl! Also, being realistic, I'd say that you will probably like this as well~

(The demo that I put up on RMN a couple of years ago is no longer available; it covered the same plot points as Act I, but it was a very very early WIP in a whole bunch of ways!)

I hope some of the very small group of people who were really into my RPG Maker games see this! Let me know what you think if you do play it! (And it'd be amazing to hopefully make some money from this and be able to pay for the resources I still need for future acts ahaha.)

Also, I browse here occasionally but obviously I don't really post, so if you are one of these people then hey, here's my twitter!

'Unreliable narrator' really isn't supposed to manifest itself in this way.
This game has a title screen!
Luckily, there's no 'pneumonia' status effect.
Our eponymous hero (note to self: look up 'eponymous' before publishing screenshot). Orson dual-classes 'dashing saviour' and 'waste of skin'.

So I am got this crash error for two different bosses. I can't remember their names but when fought the ruling father and then when fought the drug addict in the mayor's mansion.

Event Script referenced a monster that does not exist.

It took three tries on the father to defeat him and I was never able to defeat the drug addict. So I gave up after about a dozen tries.

Liked the game up to that point.

What's with the controls of this game? The default ones don't work. The only button which let me advance the title screen is the alt button. Anyway, after that I was able to use 'C' to advance text as well, but once I got to control Orson, I couldn't move at all. I mashed buttons and he seems to randomly move 1 or 2 steps in whatever direction. I could access the menu with C and some other random buttons but I couldn't use the arrow keys or any other buttons for that purpose at all there.
I am assuming most people didn't have this problem? Wonder what's wrong in this case.

Edit: Nevermind, it seems the issue was with another game too I installed, which was also made in this engine and another old 2k3 game I tested, so it's highly likely that it was in general with any 2k3 game. Turns out the keyboard needed to be reset. This thread solved the problem.

Notes on the Estrogensian Crisis Plus am sorry I had to do that lol

Though! These maps are actually really good. I have to admit, much FF is used, though I would like to check this game out, and no moar facesets. Now a sexy portrait. This is also promising! And such clear and transparent systems! Yes! It sounds pretty good to me...
