Withered Reason - Demo 2

This repeated age of oppression
and secret death,
of family succession
and mindless obsession

When the powerful
have the power
to silence
and sweep

The foundations of the human soul
into violence
and eternal silence

The sun will rise
over a ruined dawn,
unwilling to hide the scraps
of human life
led down the path
of righteous revolution

Breaking the chains
of life-draining excess,
in an age of withering reason
where logic
and love
mean nothing
but romantic musings
of a broken resolve

Lest the mighty
rise to the top
and destroy their pyramids
from the bottom-up
The world will remain
in the shadow of ignorance
and slowly decay
into the light of day.

This is it, the moment you've been waiting for. Withered Reason is now available for download in it's demonstration version form. Tell your friends, tell your mom, tell your friend's mom (and tell her I said hi), and enjoy the latest addition to the world of RPGs.

Hi, RPG Maker Community, I've initiated the second playthrough test in anticipation of Project: Arcadium's demo release. After fixing multiple bugs of the major and minor variety, I'm going through a second time just to make sure none slipped through the cracks.

As a bonus, I just implemented a new function into battle. I won't spoil it for you, but what I will say is that it relates directly to what I mentioned before about a Golden Sun-like weapon skill system.

If all goes well, I should have this demo out my Saturday, Sunday at the latest. Until then, keep yourself glued to your chair, cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride...

If you 'Like' Project: Arcadium on Facebook at: facebook.com/projectarcadium, then you'd have known that my intention is to shed some light on details surrounding this project in lieu of the screenshots I uploaded today being somewhat delayed. Here goes nothing:

Project: Arcadium is a currently unnamed RPG project I started in 2011. I took an extended hiatus of two years and I'm serious about development again. In that time, the story has gone through tremendous changes. When I began the project initially, the story was only referenced to in selected segments, and while it was in development I didn't have a solid idea of where it was going. Somewhere in those two years of waiting I gained a lot of inspiration, and the story finally has a direction.

Project: Arcadium is based in a world similar to our own with a few major differences. Of course, people don't use magic, but to add some realism I decided to make it a force of technology, even going so far as to explain how it works. Aside from that, the parallels are close to modern society in terms of what the player encounters. All bosses thusfar are human, not monster, the monsters encountered are creatures like snakes and birds, while the more dangerous enemies are boars and such.

Story-wise, this will be a story that attempts to draw seamless parallels to the issues we face today, including poverty, class divisions, entitlements, and such, and how these affect our everyday lives.

I consider myself so a radical when it comes to reality, and I hope to pass on my knowledge of the world through an entertaining medium.

I hope that helped expand upon your understanding of Project: Arcadium, remember to 'Like' Project: Arcadium on Facebook @ facebook.com/projectarcadium
