I've stopped production on this game, so it is now, officially cancelled.

You will need the VX RTP to run this game:
http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packages

To install:

First, make a new folder, and call it Tristian: LoTL.
Put the compressed download into that folder as well as the Audio folder and extract like normal with WinRAR or WinZip.
Install the fonts included if you don't have them yet.

Basic Controls:

Apart from the usual arrow/directional keys:

Alt + Enter - Toggle Full Screen mode
Enter/Spacebar/Z/ - Action key
Esc/X - Main Menu/Cancel an interaction
Shift - Sprint
Left Shift + Z = Pull an object towards you ( like a crate or boulder )

out the door

13 days before I am supposed to 'celebrate' being on this site for 7 years, i've decided to leave rmn as well. having grown uncomfortable with the circle-jerkers ( aka the devs whose games get the most attention and all their friends ) and the few rotten apples here, it's simply become an unhealthy place for me to hang around.

while i won't be posting here anymore, i'd like to stay in contact with some of the members here by ways of building an e-mail list ( yes, it's a little different from the usual chatrooms like discord/skype, but i see them as massive timesinks. i never get anything done ) informing subscribers about my future projects. so... if you're interested, drop me a pm and we'll see where the road takes us. the simple gesture would mean a lot to me, because it shows that some of you still care. who knows? maybe you'll get a surprise or two.

maybe.

maybe some of you hate me for broken promises i couldn't keep, maybe some of you lost your respect for me because I couldn't keep doing what I loved to do. or maybe some people just hated on Enelysion because it became popular...

who knows? it doesn't matter anyway.
i'm going to keep on being a creative workaholic.

So long, and keep gaming
i was always too serious for this place, anyway

Their relationship shall be brief, but glorious. I do intend to craft a game that will stick with the player long after that 'Fin' screen fades away. And as you so rightly said, nhubi, yes, I am a visionary.
Added a World Lore and History page. I take my world-building seriously, after all. =)
Updated the Target Completion Date. I highly doubt I'll finish LoTL within the course of 2016 ( custom sprite work takes a long time, and I'm taking my time over the dungeon design as well ), so I've moved it to early 2017. I will be releasing another demo, some time next year, only this time it takes place at the game's mid-point, where the player has access to most of the game's systems and characters. Also, the plot tends to thicken too.

I already have someone on board who is willing to look over the game's script ( maybe I can twist his arm regarding other stuff too XD ) but I am looking for at least four good testers with experience in most fields of RM ( writing, gameplay, general design etc ). That is, if people aren't too busy messing around with MV... ;_;

I am really sorry about the game being pushed back. ><

*Sees new post*
*Sees the need for beta testers*
*One of the most hyped games atm*
*gets excited*

Boy am I bad at this,

I guess I have some good experience with RM, perhaps less experience when it comes to scripts but I like myself a good story.
And I'm good at giving criticism I guess.
(Told you I'm bad at this)

Idk, if you need another good tester, I'd me more than willing to help you out, despite being (somewhat community-wise) new to the community.
I could probably make some room for testing besides my MV project, so yeah.

If you need anythin', I'm here.

*goes back to awkward angsty corner*

I won't say LoTL is over-hyped, let alone a hyped game. =) I prefer a quiet life, after all.

But as soon as I have a new build ready for testing, I'll send you a PM.
Nobody chooses the life of hype. The life of hype chooses them.

But 2017 as a possible release date? Isn’t that stretching it a bit too far from now? Why not just try to aim to get it done sometime by next year and just see how it goes from there? Hmmm…I guess that means that there’s still a lot more work left to do on this, then. Oh well, I can wait. At least we’re getting a new demo by next year, so that’s good. Maybe that’s the perfect time to do a re-review for this and see if the ol’ score manages to change.
I know early 2017 is a long way off, but I'll really try to get LoTL done long before then. That's a worse-case scenario release. Maybe I can manage the third quarter of 2016 if I get lucky ( bare in mind that Enelysion was in development from late 2010 up until completion in November last year, so a 4-year development cycle seems the norm for me >< ).

But I'll make it up with a demo. I promise. =) And yes, I wouldn't mind an altered review score, Addit. XD
I'm actually thankful for Addit's old Dec. 2013 review. It shows just how much the game has changed over the past two years. =)

Speaking of demos, if I really push myself, maybe, just maybe, I can have a release out before Xmas. The demo will cover all new areas, more gameplay options and new music. And more TriAnna, of course. ^^ I've made some more custom sprites for them as well.

No, you're not. You're seething. That's why you have no avatar anymore. You can't even pick one without your ferocious wrath monopolizing the selection process. Addit should go change it to a 5.0 just to defuse the Luchibomb.
Nah, I just like to pick on Addit for his dick move :p

This definitely has come a long way. One of your older images came up in the Random Screenshot the other day. "Wait, that looks like... oh yeah." Memories.
e: Btw, will Dante ever get thrown a love bone?
I'm not the kind to get angry, tbh. I'm remarkably calm most of the time and it takes a lot to really grind my gears ( I think 'cool cats on RM forums' are the biggest offenders though. That's why I stay away from RMW. ) If it wasn't for Addit's and NTC3's reviews as well as the feedback I've been getting, LotL would have really stagnated.

As for Dante ( do people ship him and Tristy? ), I'm not too sure. He's more in background this time around, but there is a connection between the two.

Has it really been almost two whole years since I last reviewed the original Tristian demo? Wow... Time sure flies by, doesn’t it?

Okay, but I’ll need to acquire a few things first: such as lower bowl seats to the next Vancouver Canucks home game and one of those giant foam hats that you can attach your drink to and sip stuff out of it. If either you or Luchino can give me both of these things, "then" I’ll consider bumping the score up.

And I almost forgot that Dante was even in this game in the first place, actually, lol, considering how little screen time that he gets nowadays compared to Tristian and Ianna.

(Poor Dante... You're what we in the business now consider as "dead weight walking")
The Canucks? That's a tall order. How about a Toronto Maple Leafs game? You can watch them get beat down like Dante's love life.
Actually, that’s not bad of a consolation prize...especially if they get their asses kicked (and they will) against one of the shit teams in the league, like Carolina or New Jersey, lol, so I actually wouldn’t mind that, actually. :P
Okay, I'll talk to my people. Why don't you bump that score while you wait ;D
'coughs' Keeping things back in the realm of Tristy and not sport, I will be posting another blog later today. XD And yes, it involves Trianna romance. Or Dantris. We'll see.
Gorgeous maps and characters! The plot seems interesting too! I can't wait to see the finished product! Good luck! :)
Thank you. =) I'll have a new demo/build up by early next year, so keep your eyes peeled.
Haha, that was a short hiatus 8D Get back to work, slave dog!
