So it is done. After testing, tweaking, scrapping and overhauling large chunks, and fine tuning the smaller details, the full complete prologue for Prayer of the Faithless is ready for public release.

Huge, HUGE thanks to the testers who pointed out all sorts of issues to fix, and an extra huge thanks to MakioKuta for the video playthrough, which pointed out all sorts of little issues that a text document could never show.

So what's new in this version? Well, there's a lot. Frankly, there's too many to list. I'll just name the big ones:

- Mia's prologue has been added
- Redesigns for every single character
- Overhauled dialogue
- Overhauled stats for both allies and enemies
- New skit points
- More tutorials

And a bunch of smaller additions that you can probably pick up on by checking out the updated screenshots.

Let me know if you have any issues or concerns. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the new prologue! Thanks so much for playing!

Sheesh, can't a dead guy get a LITTLE rest around here?

Oh, by all means, rest!


Then mak gam!

Edit: On second thought, you can mak gam while you're resting, right?

B-but then I wouldn't be resting!

See, there's a trick. None of us know how long you'll actually take, so you can rest all you want and as long as you don't tell anyone, we'll never know the difference.

You can't rest here! Gammak is near!


On a more serious note, by all means, take a break. You seriously deserve it!
Yeah! Public Prologue!

... It installs so fast... And that's cause everything's folded into the rgss3a...

... Is my computer faster? Or is the game faster? Mmm...

... So much foreshadowing! The "Agreement", and the rest! Wow! ... What would this be like as a novel??? ...

... Brecellian Brushfire... So many things I'd have to replay and write down to get the intricate plotting...?

Well, this has been worked on for a year+. If the plotting wasn't intricate, there might be something wrong? ... But complexity can be too much of a good thing...

Do you have any story editors? ... Have I ever seen a RPGMaker game with story editors? ... Meh.
... Blazing Amalie's got no Blaze...

A.k.a

I gave Amalie my Blazing Heart, but she's got no Fire Magic. Why? ... ... Just realized, is it a Problem of being a disconnected Manna??


Also, lower tile of Darkwoods Amala Exit doesn't exit. But middle and upper tiles do.

After Aeyr's story ends, Amalie and Mia remove all their armor and put it in Aeyr's inventory. That decision kept me up for freaking days trying to figure out what to do, and eventually, I decided that players needed to better learn how Mia plays and how she and Amalie worked together. You couldn't really do that if either of them were loaded down with gear to make them impenetrable.

Thanks for the catch on the transfer tiles. That'll be fixed in the next update.

*nods* ... Still doesn't explain why Amalie's got no fire magic, when she's got the Blazing Heart though?

You're welcome!
I gave Red_Nova my in depth thoughts, but I think I should say something here too.

Prayer of the Faithless demo was extremely promising. Great characters, story, and overall writing. Engaging battles, probably the most thought out move sets for each character on this site. Amazingly done character portraits (as we can tell on the character page, but honestly I liked them even more in game.)

My biggest critique so far is about the tilesets, which I think are charming, but needs plenty more work upon.

If you haven't already, play it. Likely a future feature game, assuming Red Nova doesn't die again.
