History of Outlaw City


Outlaw City wasn't always called by that name, it was previously known as Generation City, a city outside of the reach of foreign policy and law.

The short but powerful history of this city was forged during the beginning of the Energy Depression, when Generation Corporation promised the impossible; nearly infinite, cheap energy. With only two strings attached.

Although disbelieved at first, Gen. Corp proved their claims and were granted their concessions by the world governments:

First, the funding to create their endless supply of power, the Infinity Generators.
And secondly, land and complete sovereignty.

And so Generation City was formed next to the four gigantic Infinity Generators that fed the energy needs of the world for years.

Still afraid of another budding energy crisis, and given breathing room, countries frantically developed other forms of energy; thermal, advanced solar, large hydroelectric plants, and other forms advanced and soon were enough by themselves.

Their timing was perfect as the next year a huge and impenetrable domed barrier formed around the generators, cutting the power flow out to miniscule levels.

Without the interest of the world at stake, Generation City fell into a lull, and it's only other product, freedom from world laws, became it's primarly sales point.

For several years, Generation City became a place of crime and crusades, black markets and money lenders flocked and many transactions were performed within the city. Things were going poorly, and as history had shown, downward trends had a nasty habit of continuing.

The shield that had blocked access to the Infinity Generators had been leaking a strange radiation, one which began to affect the citizen. Nearly unnoticable at first, things began to speed up, and soon citizens found themselves changed.

The changes were not always disfiguring, and they were usually not even negative. People soon found themselves possessing increased physical attributes, and some found themselves able to control the elements or use powers not unlike those of comic-book superheroes.



Characters


Sahra Vintage


The protagonist of this story, more or less, Sahra's history is less shady than it might seem, although her future more murky.

Mistress Mystic


Her memory erased after an escape from Gen Corp, Mystic seems to be more the protagonist than Sahra, although it always seems to be Sahra that bears the brunt of the troubles caused.

Blast from the Past - Updated!

It's been a long time that I've wanted to do this, finally got around to it!

Final "update" for Outlaw City - Less of an upgrade and more just fixing the balance in combat (enemies had enormous HP and battles dragged on sometimes with Stamina being sapped too easily or attacks being hard to chain.) Most of the game has a much different feel now however.

Change Log:
- Combat is now fast-paced and short
- Each PC has had skills changed to be free or increase their Stamina on use to avoid the need to build Stamina (for example Mystic's Flash gives stamina regen for 1 round, and Proto's Kinetic Shield gives stamina back and costs nothing, and many more)
- Damage on various attacks has been increased
- Enemies have been balanced to be more dangerous but have less massive HP
- Barriers are now on a 2 turn and 6 turn timer (for single target and team respectively)
- Some notes on the combat system were fixed
- Minor bugs fixed during the playthrough
- Fixed bug in second to last blooper (music and background sound not fading before last blooper)

Updated file is now available as the primary download!

random thoughts
cool character designs

love the shinys! no pointless checking!

the knights are the law? then why do they just stand there while crazy shit goes down in front of them?
they did nothing when the old lady was harassed in broad daylight :/
or while soldiers were attacking you in the middle of the street in broad daylight when there are knights all around that area :/

probably not the best idea to amke a plan in a store with 5+ other people right there...

you earn money but cant check how much you have?

don't give money to the drunk its pointless.

the battles are annoying all enemies have a lot of life.

well...i hate this games plot now that you were betrayed...this is going on ym shit list :/

theres to many battles in this for such a battle system. theres even battles in the arcanium cave even tho story-wise only arcam members can be in there >.>

another hole...only people that were part of its creation can enter that special place and while they hold the heavens jewel...yet your ally right next to you has neither >.>

it would of been great to teleport us to the cave entrance after defeating the 2 assassins :/

the flood part...you know what i am done...you move too slow for this shit and this is boring anyway :/

This game was boring for me. you had lots of battles which i didn't care about with a battle system that's more for a limited amount of battles as you actually want to think a bit about what you do...the enemies had to much life making progress slower then i like.
and the plot just was not interesting for me.

Overall
recommend to people who....like having a bit more strategy in battles and development in abiltys

That link will take you to the rptmaker xp RTP file and you can download it.
Many games made with ACE, VX, XP use the RTP files for the game. Not sure what
the RTP files really are :) but I do know many developers are not experienced enough to make the games without the RTP files.

Download those files and your game should work fine.
HOW DID YOU GET WINDOWS 10 BEFORE ME???? :)
I use 8.1 and all games work just fine so Win.10 should also work.

IF NOT :( you can post a question in the forum concerning this problem and I'm sure someone who is more or a geek the me can help you :)
I downloaded both versions and I don't think I have the RMNXP and I wasn't able to find it or at least only the programms which are required if you actually want to create a game. And does it change anything if I'm using windows 8.1?

@ghabas, I'm not a developer but my download works fine.
Do you have the updated version ??
Also, do you have the RMNXP with all the trimmins' :)
Every time I try to start the game there's an RGSS-RTP Standart not found note coming up and I can't play. Do you know what might be the problem?
Confirmed and was able to repeat.

A fixed version was uploaded and is now the primary download, patch notes:
- Fixed bug where you crash if Poisoned in "Very Easy" mode (previous saves will carry over.)

Just started to play game in the sewers and after battle with monsters error occured...

Script' Scene_battle_rtab'line3525: typeError occured nil can't be coerced fixnum
I'm unable to get this happen, does it happen ever time for you or did it just happen once?
I got this once and I'm able to replicate it. It's when I'm fighting in the sewers and Sahra attacks using the only Super ability she has. I'm not sure what it's called.

BTW, I'm reviewing this for the Skyrim review event if you wanted to know :)

Edit: It actually happens randomly when you're attacking monsters in the first sewer, especially the squid. Randomly and frequently.

I think I found the probably cause of this - if you change the difficulty to Easy or Very Easy it actually sets it to the wrong number (one difficulty level easier, and one more than Very Easy is broken) - I'll fix and upload a new version tomorrow after some testing.

EDIT: I put a new version up, the place it was crashing I think was in the slip damage (poison) because there were then cases where it was 0 and that case wasn't caught. PMing you to try it out.

Do you have a screenshot? I'm not sure which you mean, sorry.

If there are treasure chests or anything visible it should definitely be accessible though.
ok so i was playing the game and i couldn't figure out how to open the bottom gate at the end of the first sewer... is it even possible to open?
Wo-wo-woopa! I think I messed it up! There was an issue with my RTP, so its nothing to worry :P. Anyway, reinstalled it, and now works! (in any case, dunno why my PC had the Tahoma Normal, but not the Bold O.o lol).
The game seems neat! I like the twists, very well placed, AND I really hate Mystic!

And thanks for your support, you were very fast!

PD.: If I get to the end, I will try to add a review, this game deserves one.
Fonts should all be "Arial" or "Tahoma" I believe, hope you enjoy it and hope you can get the menu text working again!
The fonts in majority of menues aren't visible for me (Status screen for example). Can you tell me which is the font name? Probably is a "default" Windows font, but in any case, it would help me to know.

Cheers, and really good game yo have here,
