Karuna and Aurelie were friends. Then Aurelie went off and found the infernal armor of Ellicide and became the Evil Overlord Darkloft. Karuna is the only one who can stop her. But Karuna loves Aurelie, even now.

Luxaren Allure is a medium-sized RPG (12-20 hours) that follows Karuna and her allies as they explore the isles of Luxaren and confront a former friend who now wants nothing but destruction. This is a wlw (women who love women, lesbian romance, yuri, etc) game with an all female playable cast.

Also included are:

  • Title Screen Art, Face Portraits and Illustrations by M-3-1 (http://m-3-1.deviantart.com/)
  • Side View CTB Battles, with animated heroes and (semi)animated enemies!
  • New tilesets and battlers, made just for this game!
  • No random encounters. All enemies are visible on screen, and each triggers a different enemy party.
  • No RTP needed! Most resources are custom, and everything's included with the download.
  • A simple crafting system.
  • A short, character driven story that plays with the standard RPG formula.


Characters:


Karuna has been training with the School of the Unwavering Blade for years, and is considered the best choice for defeating the evil of Darkloft. She's serious, strong-headed, and confident, but her reasons for choosing to be a hero might not exactly be selfless...


Chisa is Karuna's self-proclaimed squire. She's timid but very strong, if a little naive. Her loyalty to Karuna is unquestionable.


A mage from the Naga clan, and one of the few of her kind that does not view humans with suspicion. Carefree and laid-back, she quickly finds herself fascinated with Karuna's quest and even more fascinated with Karuna's squire.


The great-granddaughter of the paladin hero Estes, Lynette is a well-balanced warrior from Rezael who has trained for years to master both the physical and magical arts to make up for the fact that she didn't inherit her family's holy magic powers.


Now known as Overlord Darkloft, the evil one who has placed the isles of Luxaren in dire peril. Karuna has so many questions for her. What will happen when they finally meet again?

Scripts used:
  • Yanfly's Ace Core Engine, Message, Menu, Equipment and Battle systems!
  • Kread-EX's Animated Battlers!
  • Fomar0153's Compatible Customisable ATB/Stamina Based Battle System!
  • Coelocanth's Item Crafting system!

Just wanted to report that I've been getting a ton done! Things have been going really smoothly, thus far.

Also, thinking about it, if I ever do a sequel to this game, it'll probably star Lynette, since she's the only one without a love interest :3

I've been putting off playing this game and even stayed off the page as much as possible, up 'till it's finished.

I'm all hyped \(^w^)/

I finally got around to playing this today.

I don't think I've had this much fun playing an RPG Maker game in a while. The battles are actually well-made, and I like how the encounters scale as you progress. It actually prevents the RPG battles from becoming stale! I also squealed at the sight of the battle animations.

I haven't gotten far with it yet, but I liked how the dungeons, particularly the water cave, was well-designed.

If there are any faults I have with this, it's that the music is awesome, but completely unfitting for the settings you place them in. The first cave you enter has some really upbeat techno music that doesn't really properly convey the atmosphere, it also drowns out the distinctive tone of your battles, where that kind of music is better suited for. Some of this kind of music played in some more emotional/serious scenes in the game, so it was kind of "what?"

Thematically, the game initially came off as kind of confused, like it doesn't know if it wants to be a more satirical, comedic RPG or something with a more serious tone. The main story deals with a tough confliction between fighting the one you love or not, and yet you have a castle very obviously decked with Dragon Warrior armor and goofy item names and descriptions.

These are mostly minor nitpicks, though, I find the romance elements to be cute, and the game oodles with charm and care put into it. You have a new fan! (I chose this expression for Merel because it's the most lulzy)

Thanks so much for your feedback and comments, Ratty! :D

I think the faults you mention are totally valid points. I have a silly sense of humor that seeps a little too much into everything, and this project is certainly no exception, and then I try to have my cake and eat it too with all the serious stuff happening around the silliness.

As for the music, I chose some tracks more on "wow I think this is awesome" than "this is what is best suited for this area" and that's not the brightest idea XD Looking at my next project, I'm trying to select tracks a bit more wisely.

Thanks for playing and I'm super overjoyed that you're having a good time with the game! :DDDDD I absolutely love your choice of a new avatar, that's my favorite Merel face, tho I love her blushy ones too XD

Apparently, I have a thing for Karuna's "annoyed" expression. I'll... just keep it until I'm ready to move back to Oracle.

*Edit: Darigaaz, I'm going full blown with my user-title too!

Hehehe. Thanks, Marrend :D
Hi unity, I just made it to the Seer's abode and I still have 6 Cristalized Hopes, did I forgot the others somewhere?

P.S. : By the way:

Before the Love Contest, in the scene of the Inn, Chisa says in two dialogue boxes that the reward of the contest is a Spectre, when it should be a Gem. I think you should look into that. XD
