Over two hundred years ago, the five heroes defeated the god of darkness; Ragnarok, in a climactic struggle for the fate of the world. Banished back to the realm of darkness known as the Abyss, the threat of the evil god had finally been put to rest once and for all...or so they thought.

Umbral Soul follows the story of Ragnarok’s loyal servant, Pandora, who joins her master in a quest to conquer the world and reclaim his lost power. In order to shroud the world in eternal darkness, they will have to find and recruit new allies, build an army of powerful monsters, and raise a force strong enough to crush anyone who dares to oppose them. Heroes, generals and rival overlords all stand against them. Do you have the power to make the world yours?



Pandora
A powerful dark sorceress with the ability to call forth monsters from the Abyss and enslave them to her will. Her burning hatred for the world and its people leads her to follow Ragnarok with unwavering loyalty.

Ragnarok
The god of darkness, who seeks dominion over the human realm. Once an extremely powerful being in the form of a monstrous demon, he has now been reduced to a mere soul. He wishes to plunge the entirety of the human realm into darkness, in part out of spite for his counterpart; the goddess of light, Lumielle.

Lanith
Beautiful, deadly, and self absorbed to a tee, Lanith is a succubus with a never ending hunger for the lifeforce of men. Having served under Pandora since she was only a child, she has a knack for getting under her skin, and does so whenever the opportunity arises.

Damien
A deeply twisted and sadistic young man, Damien loves nothing more than manipulating others and watching them squirm. While he has kept his true nature a secret, Ragnarok’s uprising marks the perfect opportunity for him to cut loose and have some fun...by killing as many enemies as possible.

Azrielle
The lord of all demons, who is fiercely loyal to Ragnarok and possesses an extreme, seething hatred for humanity. After failing to aid his master in conquering the world the first time, he has no intention of repeating the same mistakes again.

I'm back, baby!

Hey everybody, hope you've been doing well. I'm pleased to say I was just recently discharged from rehab, so at long last after over a month I'm home. They ran a whole lot of tests on me and I had several surgeries, so I am finally no longer in danger of croaking. That means I'm finally free to double down on game development, when I'm not stuck sitting in some doctor's office that is. Thank you all for your well wishes, they went a long way towards improving my mental health through that strenuous time. Welp, that's enough chatter. I've got some game making to do.

I'll just settle for ambiguous perfection.


Soooo... Sometime around August?
I'd love to give a time frame, maybe sooner than that, maybe later (hopefully not), but since life throws curveballs at random and I'm going to be moving later this year, I can't make any promises with 100% certainty. Wow, for a second there I felt like a politician.
Take your time man, I would rather have a cleanly completed game then a rushed half-assed game. This is what we gamers do best and that is wait, we wait for that one game. The game that we have all been hyped for, the wait might be long. But the beautiful completed project will clearly be worth the wait.

Did you click on the thing that looks like a blue box (its what you get when you download it, you cant extract it with RAR or 7-ZIP)? If yes than there should be a tap opening that asks where you want to extract it to than simply choose the destination C:\User(s)\Name\foldername and after its done extracting click on the red dragon head icon in the folder to start the game.... it's quite easy i checked and the download is working correctly.

I can't see what might have gone wrong.... was the download interrupted?

That shouldn't be the case.... well I downloaded it again and made sure to use the snipping tool to show you exactly what I did. It is working perfectly.

Step 1:
Downloading



Step 2/3:

Extracting

- This is what you have to extract

- This is where you have to choose the location of where it is supposed to be extracted to

Step 4:

Opening the folder

- this is the folder you get after waiting for it to be extracted fully

Step 5:

Open the "Game" application that looks like a red dragon icon. (It's name is "Anwendung" on my PC since english is not my first language)



Step 6:

Start playing.

Honestly if this won't help you, than I have no idea what else will.
Fear not my friends, for I have a solution! If you've downloaded any other vx ace game or have ace yourself, simply copy the little dragon head from its folder and paste it into the game. Dasgibtesnet, thank you as usual for your excellent customer support. Your paycheck should arrive in the next 4-6 years.

it was my antivurus deleting the launcher, thank you for the help anyway
Dyluck
For thousands of years, I laid dormant. Who has disturbed my slumber?

The game crashed during the boss fight in the Crypt.

Specifically:
During the boss fight with Damien, he steals my Chimera and I summon the Succubus?(Lilith?) to replace him. After some rounds, I kill the Chimera, and right at that moment the game crashes with this message:

Script 'Game_Interpreter' line 119: FiberError occured.

double resume


I did enjoy the game so far and the characters were charming. However, I wish it wasn't still random encounters and wish there was an auto-run option.
Thanks for the heads up Dyluck! Fortunately I've already corrected that pesky glitch for the next version. Avoid defeating any of the summons to dodge the error for now. The random encounters and lack of auto-run are personal preferences of mine. Auto run makes me feel like I'm playing in debug mode. Thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to enjoy yourself.
Hey there! I loved this game!!

However there is something strange in a part of the game, not sure if annyone noticed it but I´m telling you anyway:

When I´m inside the king´s castle an I´m about to fight whit Athena (I think it was her name) there is this light shield that I have to break first so I assumed I was supposed to kill someone and the barrier should break, but i talked to the guy who was standing next to the door and the barrier disappeared whitout having me to do anything and the guy didn´t say anything either


I apologize for the grammar for this isn´t my main language.
Yyyyeah that's a debug event I had added at the last minute that I had forgotten to remove. Already taken care of for the next version though. Great to hear you enjoyed yourself regardless!
I have just finished the game and i created a account just to say this:

This is one of the best RPGs i have played in my life, the writing, the story, the characters, the OST, everything is superb!

Also this is the first RPG i played from RPGmaker because my brother showed it to me, i was not expecting much, how wrong i was! Thanks to this game i know now that fans with criativity and will to do something good can make games with the same quality or even above big companies. That is why im now looking for RPGs made by fans on RPGmaker

So that is it, congratulations for the entire team that made this game possible, it is now one of my favorites of all time.

Sorry for my bad english.
Ha! Your english is just fine, buddy. First off, let me thank you for those amazing compliments. I'm overjoyed that something I made was able to provide you with so much entertainment. I made this on my own, but I did get a lot of helpful feedback from the good people here at rmn that allowed me to polish things up. Even so, I'm not done with this game, as I intend to polish it up even more.

Allow me to welcome you to the wonderful world of rpg maker! The engine has amazing potential, enough that anyone can make a great game with enough patience, dedication, imagination, and time. Lots and lots of time. The more you use it, the more tips and tricks you pick up, and the better you get at mapping and eventing.

Since you've just started playing rpg maker games and there are a few billion to choose from, allow me to suggest a few that I've enjoyed myself or heard good things about.

Nocturne Rebirth- Ridiculously amazing visuals and battle system, customized to the point that you'd think it's a commercial game. https://rpgmaker.net/games/7809/

The Wooden Ocean- A dark rpg in both visuals and storyline, featuring a massive open world to explore. Be aware you will be eaten by monsters...a lot. https://rpgmaker.net/games/8852/

Terrarium Remastered-
An rpg with an addictive skill learning system that allows you to create your own specially customized characters. A wide variety of classes to choose from with many special attacks and passive abilities. https://rpgmaker.net/games/9202/

Thanks for the comment Ivellios, you have no idea how much comments like yours spur me on to outdo myself for the next game. I wish you all the best, and happy gaming!
Wow, congratulations again for doing all of this by yourself!

Thanks for the recommendations, i will try them out!
the light is not always good like darkness is not always evil.
It seems humanity on that world did this to themselves, why? cause you shouldn't condemn someone for he or she is, Only his/her actions.

wheelmanzero seems to inegrate both of these in his game. I like it.
I downloaded the game yesterday and installed it a few minutes ago. After that, my antivirus popped up issuing a warning.

It said the "Game.exe" was infected with "Win32 Sality". Is anyone else having this issue?
Some anti-viruses seem to have an issue with the executable (the little dragon head). If you copy the same icon over from another vx ace game into the project, that should fix it. Once I've completed the ultimate edition, I'll add a new executable which will hopefully fix the problem, but the current one is perfectly safe.
