STORY

The year is 1864 on the world of Atlas, on the continent of Einhorn. Over the past century, two major powers have have risen up and eventually dominated the world scene. The Empire of Judec militarized and united half of a continent in endless feudal chaos, and the Rosevelt Alliance shaped a collection of nation states linked by trade into a military and economic powerhouse.

Thirty years ago, a discovery by the Alliance Archaeological Division changed the flow of world history forever. A temple, older than anything in recorded history, full of caches of machines and tools far beyond anything devised by modern hands.

Like a spark, this was only the beginning of discoveries of massive stockpiles of like technologies buried all over the world. As reverse engineering advanced relics from the distant past, known as the Agares Era, spurs the Second Industrial Revolution, and an inevitable arms race by the two superpowers soon unravels the continent.

The competitive and unrelenting search for these relics, and the magical mineral that powers them, Etherium, eventually escalates into full scale war. The world nervously watched, and then was dragged into, a massive clash of powers that felt as if it cleaved Einhorn in two. After a decade of fruitless conflict, both powers draft and sign the Paxus Treaty, a bilateral agreement to end the long war, now known as the Grand Campaign. However, old hatreds remain, as do the Agares relics, whether they lay scattered on the battlefields, buried under the earth, or in the hands of whoever are lucky or enterprising enough to find them, hero and villian alike.

Enter Callox Pallisade, Imperial Knight, ordered home from an overseas posting, back in the Empire of Judec to quell a post war uprising. This begins a chain of massive events of what will be known by future generations as the Chronology of the Last Era.

Return of the Last Era

So I have been informed via Discord summoning that people still know I exist. Great!

Let's get to the interesting parts; A lot's happened. Well, sort of. Personally no, I'm just chugging along with life; no major changes there! I'm in a good place, so my disappearance was just happenstance, and not dramatic nor intentional.

As far as The Last Era, well, a good bit has actually changed. On a large note, nothing about the project's direction in a meta sense has really changed; the description you can read about it on the main page is still current, and so are the characters, general premise, and atmosphere.

So what's changed? Firstly, the graphical production has changed gears in a big way; as you last remember, I was working on graphical assets with the help of JosephSeraph. He's a wonderful artist and even a better person, but unfortunately he had other projects to commit to. Which is fine of course. Jo, if you're reading this, I love you man!

But this left me in a bind; now what do I do? Well, I could use the work he already did as a base, so over the course of a few months (and even now) I practiced my pixel art skills, fundamentals, and aimed to see if I could fill in the gaps where he left off. I've been editing on and off for years already, so I'm managing to catch on quickly. See if any of you can catch any of my anonymous submissions to Pixel Dailies on Twitter!

But then came the matter of Engine. You guys may already know that I moved on from RPG Maker to GameMaker. I messed around with it but a little bit, but on a whim I found out that Unity is what I want The Last Era to shine on. Not only is C# a widely used language unlike GML which is GameMaker specific (meaning I can learn C# on its own for any other reason and it can carry on to Unity, and vice versa. Looks good on a resume!), but it's just more powerful.

Not that I need Unity to make a sprite based game that this project is on. GameMaker would work, and the Last Era still isn't bigger or especially more ambitious than it ever was.

But unlike GML, C# is infinitely easier for me to learn (trust me, I put in the time in both), and unlike RPG Maker, unity is powerful, I mean god damn, and I can do exactly what I want to do. You can make even simple shit look, feel, and play good and undeniably unique and exactly what you want it to be.

So yeah, that's where we're at; I still actively work on the Last Era and no its not dead. I'd be lying if I made some blood oath to finish it in classic RMN fashion, but it is what I've wanted to do and make for like, ever.

Right now, I'm putting together all the bits and pieces, but soon, I'll have something to show for it. Thanks for reading!

So, I read through most of the summary, read the reviews and since others have downloaded the game I decided to do the same and just how far I could get and guess what ???? NO MORE DOWNLOAD :)

So, when do you think your game will be ready to play again ???
This looks right up my alley, -- subscribed, and eagerly waiting for a release of any sort!
To be fair, he had no idea I would pop out of nowhere and be back.
Anyone have a Download for this game still, I'd love to play it.
Still watching this game, yo'. Keep going!
Subscribed to this game a while back because it sounded interesting, just saw a notice about a blog post and was hoping it would be something about a demo, hahah. Glad you're still working on the game though, good luck with it and I look forward to playing it.
Why was I not subscribed to this game already? Ah well, that's now a non-issue.

OK, enough of this crap. Time to e-mail the White House and get our Commander in Chief to issue a special TDY for Feldschlacht IV to the Gaming Room aboard ship.
We've waited long enough for a download. The war on terror needs to be put on hold.

:)hahahahahahahahaha

Keep your head down and stay safe.

Your right Craze, I read his blog and he's whining about having to travel between his apartment and the ship at dockside to do his part on the fight to keep us all free and safe so we can play on RMN :)

Hey...I'm not whining...

But no, I'm not out to sea anymore. I still work on an aircraft carrier, yes, but my the time she'll go back out to sea I'll be out of the military.

having heard MOG's stories of the internet at sea i don't think that's a real viable reason to join the navy
I did get to see the world, that parts no bullshit.

And having my Master's Degree paid for entirely when I get out is a nice touch, too. There's no free WiFi or whatever, though. I have to pay for the internet connection at my apartment just like anyone else, so whoever told you that, uh...

The internet while out to sea is however fucking horrible and the fact that your internet access is restricted to government computers (you can bring your laptop with you to use in your bunk or w/e, but you can't connect it to the network) makes pretty much everything unusable.
Will/does this Game have a World map?
232 subscribers and no Demo? Have mercy!:)
Your project looks cool and promising, got my sub. Good luck!
