Bhavacakra (Meaning the Wheel of Life) is a fantasy RPG game made in RPG Maker MV.

The game is typical in a sense that nothing stands out. It has a main plot, choices, and side quests. The focus of this game is lives, people's lives. And their lives are side quests. This game boosts 90+ side quests in around 30 ~ 40 hours gameplay. There are also three endings with one ending leading to post game world.

You play as Juan, a young country man from a village of Loche. There is a rumor that a war is going to break out. As you explore the world, the war does break out, leaving you three choices.
You can either fight for your country OR fight against your country. And, finally, you can turn your back on the war. Whichever choice you make, Juan's life changes for good.

There are several things I focused while making this game.

  • The game world is consisted of four nations, with each nations containing about 2 major cities and 3 ~ 4 small villages. There is an exception though; there is an off world nation. All in all, I consider the game world to be fairly large.

  • I did mention 90+ quests. They are side quests. Few get complicated and will go into post game. Some are hard. Some are simple fetch quests. But side quests will have stories to tell. This game is about lives. Oh, and defeat the big evil thing. Actually, no, there is no real evil being to defeat in the game. But the wheel of life works in mysterious ways.

  • Monsters do not drop money at all. Why should they? They drop their body parts instead. You either sell them to proper places (trading posts) for bigger profits or use them to cook.

  • Main characters and other important characters have unique CG portrait. The game also contains CG scenes I made.

  • You can pursue your relationship with your heroine all the way into marriage if you so desire.

I didn’t think I’d release a patch for this game, but here we are. I plan to add few quests I omitted before.

  • Patreon link removed because it’s no longer active. It’s been replaced with its website link.

  • Some game icons have been upgraded.

  • Majority of plugins were updated. This isn’t something you are going to notice during play.

  • I added Yanfly battle animation speed plugin. This will let you have battles go by a lot faster if you choose to do so.

I can't wait for it to be completed <3 seems like such a fun game ^^
Heya! Wanted to pop in and say that I'm enjoying the demo, when I have time to play it, but thought I'd mention a few things:

1) NPC dialogue seems a bit weird at times, like maybe they should have more things to say about the world and what's going on in it. Not all of them, but more than what I've seen. This is a small nit-pick, however, so don't think it too critical of the overall story.

2) Towns and houses are too big and seem sort of empty. Maybe it's intentional - with impending war and all going on, but it just seems like some areas could use a massive down-scaling or improvement to detail.

3) Is there an intro planned for the final version? Being dropped into the MC's house is jarring with not forewarning or story.

Other than that; praise for the amount of side-quests you have going on, especially working toward giving said side-quests stories of their own, making it worth the time to do them to learn more about the world or character development. Same, too, to how the story missions move forward at a steady pace, and how you have to hunt to get your money.

About that - thoughts on putting in NPCs that give quests for pelts, furs, etc? In a world where there's a shortage, each town having an NPC looking for specific items and paying out higher amounts for them would fit the story to a degree. It could even be a repeatable event for cash throughout the game.

Also; loving the custom character portraits. Are the enemies custom, too?

Anywho - those were some of my ideas. Thought I'd share.
Hello, I thank you for your feedback.

Allow me to answer your feedback.

1. NPCs will generally say three things.
a. Quest related stuff
b. Their own issues
c. Random things
I thought I made dialogs sensible. I will look over again.

2. Lack of NPCs is due to few reasons.
a. I haven't had the time to add more. They are being added but it isn't as easy as it sounds due to me wanting every NPCs to have their own faces. And sometimes my brain just goes ... blank.
b. NPCs will be added as side quests are added. Currently, there are 20ish side quests. My goal is 50 side quests before the war begins with few of them being fairly long.

3. Actually, I never planned any sort of intro. The main character being placed in his home all of a sudden was my intention with a single clue of impending war.
It is so because I never liked lengthy introductions... But this is a very early verison. Things may and will probably alter here and there in due time.

Again, thanks for the feedback.

P.S. Yes, enemies are custom 3D renders.

Started exploring and ran into this. As I explore I'll share more findings.

When the conversation in the pass occurs, she says "Shell we go" instead of "Shall", but I didn't manage to get that screenshot. So far - the small improvements are adding up! :D Keep at it.

-EDIT: the weapon saleswoman in Eton gave me an error when loading her portrait.

That was due to an improper tileset setup. It has been fixed in the next version.
The misspelling has also been corrected.

Thanks.

Edit: I think I accidentally removed her face as I swapped her in previous version. It will be corrected.

The quest requires "Hair crisis" side quest to be completed in order to proceed. Once that quest is done, ask the boatman to access the isle.
