The current download is the IGMC 2015 version. Some of the images (for example, the new logo) are from a newer version that is being worked on.


In 1609 G.D., the continent of Escalon was cast into turmoil when high king Alexis the Third was betrayed by his most trusted advisor Caelmor. Eventually Caelmor's reign of terror was put to an end by Olivia Corin and her fellow heroes.

The story of Escalia starts 21 years after Caelmor's defeat and follows Fayhe Corin, Olivia's magically gifted daughter, and her friends Lumia and Seyfer as they find themselves in a series of unfortunate events that could spiral out of control quickly and will decide the fate of the whole continent.


•No random encounters!
•Challenging enemies. Make sure to save often!
•Challenging battle mechanics: Guard has different effects for each character, and is only usable once per battle!
•Skill Synergies: Some skills will deal more damage or will be a guaranteed critical if a certain buff is applied!
•Equipment Skills: Some of the best skills are only learnable by wearing your character's specific necklace. Make sure to find them to have access to some of the best skills available.
•Fully parallaxed maps!
•Quests! Also, optional sidequests.
•Custom Sprites and portraits.
•Custom Menu and Battle Hud.
•An enthralling story, set in the same universe as my main game, Startide.

Uploaded some fixes

So I just launched a new upload of the 14th March version with some fixes.

- Bestiary no longer shows empty states
- Status cure items work
- Added some extra optional conversations in the cave
- Saving now works
- Slightly lowered the volume of some music.

Haven't thoroughly tested it, but it should be all good.

Well, on to working on the newer version now.

So i saw you say monsters don't respawn has that been changed or are you keeping it that way truth be told i like respawning enemies that is why i ask.


It is coming in the updated demo version.

The game was great! I was shocked that it ended so soon! Im sure everyone wants to see an expansion of this.


Yes I will expand it :) but first I want to get the v1.1. demo out of the way.
I'm enjoying this quite a bit so far. :-) Just got to the cave under the church. I found a few spelling errors:

-During the encounter in the forest with Maximillian, he says, "It's a bind spel!" You only have one 'l' in "spell."
-For the description of the Ruby Necklace accessory, you spell "skill" with 3 'l's

Overall, like it a lot so far:

-Love the small details. Like in the menu screen, when you select the character, their mouth's open. Really creative.
-Oh, and about that menu screen. LOVE IT!
-Really like Lumia's Shadow Dance animation.

So far so good :-) Great job on this!
I played this game and I like it even though its short (hope that you continue making this game longer). There's something that I want you to add to this game
- please make the prized lower since the enemies (not the bosses) stayed dead once we defeated them and we cannot get money to buy items and others

Hi!
Thankfully in the newer demo version which should be released soon, the enemies respawn after 5 minutes of ingame time. It should help with the money troubles :)

I love this game in all things, but I couldn't save progress, was late at night anyway, so I didn't have time to get to much into the game.

You couldn't? It should add the savegames to the subfolder /save. If it's not there, make one. You should have the game.exe, the /save folder the /fonts folder and a credits.txt.
Sadly my Virus Scanner deletes the game.exe of the full version. Please make a new upload.

That's strange. It should not happen, because it's compiled normally. There's no virus in it.
I've had it happen lately too, with my windows defender complaining about regular VX Ace game .exes, about them being "unsafe", but there's nothing wrong with them.

Your antivirus should be able to put the game.exe back/out of quarantine. I could reupload the game, but it'll probably still go off on your antivirus scanner.

I tried to put it out of quarantine but it still will be quarantined again. There is no option to allow that file. I really tried.

Edit: I copied the Audio/System folders as well as all additional files like the game.exe from the demo. I will see how far I come with this.

Hmm. That's strange. I'll see if I can find what's wrong with it. Can't guarantee a quick fix though :(

Finished.

One thing though: I was pretty certain that I only found 1 Bronze Key in Aldwyn Forest-West but still had another one for the Bronze Chest in Aldwyn Cave.

Escalia March 2021 Guide

Perhaps sometimes you will pick up that game again.

Thanks for your review! You did play the older version though (2015) but that's alright, feedback is always welcome :)

No, this was the March Version, it was different from the 2015 Version, which was longer.
But it could be because of the AV problems.
I had to copy the Audio and System Folder as well as all those missing files around the game.exe from the 2015 Version.
The game ended for me once Seyfer leaves the party.

Ah, yes, then that was the newest version. I got confused, because you had the old GUI in your images. I didn't know it could even work like that.
Yes, I'm still working on it (see latest blogpost) :)

So 2015 - is full game and 2021 is only demo?

Both is a "Demo", the newer one is a bit more polished and a bit shorter.
But I really had to sell all my old gear and bombs to get the best gear available for the boss.

But you need to know that my AV had problems with the newer version and you have to copy the Audio and System folders as well as all those files around the game.exe from the old version.
This will disable the new battle hub but you can play the new version.
