Life isn't all that exciting in quiet Border Town for our hero, who spends most days hanging out with his best friend Benjamin. Long expected to take over the mundane life of tending the family inn, our hero wistfully craves a life of adventure. An even bigger burn: Some prophet visited Border Town a long time ago, and foretold that Benjamin would grow into the legendary hero. Talk about living under someone's shadow!
And live under a "Shadow" they did: For stories have increased in recent days of a great dragon of the same name, Shadow, rising up and amassing an empire to take over the land. Monsters have increased in number and strength, and some cities have fallen. It is clear that something isn't quite right.
Back in Border Town, things are peaceful... for now. However, on the eve of the dubious ceremony celebrating our hero's new job, Benjamin goes missing. When the would-be-innkeeper goes to search for him, he gets wrapped up in all the adventure he could have ever dreamed of, as his little journey takes him on a vast quest across the world, to Shadow's doorstep, and beyond.
It is time for the unlikely innkeeper -- and you -- to Begin a New Quest.
This game features a fully new world and new characters but inspired by the Dragon Warrior series for the NES. On the quest, many familiar monsters, spells, equipment, graphics, and music will be encountered -- mixed in with some new creations of my own in all of these departments. The game features:
-30-40 hours of gameplay.
-Some original music and graphics along with many old favourites.
-A huge bestiary of over 300 monsters, each with a Monster Entry for the library at Elderwood hidden somewhere in the game.
-A carefully-balanced mix of open-world exploration and focused linearity.
-Various sidequests including the monster library, the alchemy pot, the lottery, optional dungeons, and more.
-Fully functioning features that any Dragon Warrior fan would expect, including the "Imperial Scrolls of Honour," losing half gold/keeping items and levels upon defeat in battle; individual items carried in battle; Houses of Healing; Outside, Return, Chance, Sacrifice, and Farewell spells; Battle Mechanics that have been carefully tinkered with to strongly feel balanced in the same way that Dragon Warrior games originally were.
-A branching story with multiple endings and substantial postgame material, including bonus characters and a challenge boss.
-A packed-in world map. :)

Hey all! I'm so sorry about this issue, it's due to a Google security update. I've now updated the link here, finally, so it should be accessible again.
I really couldn't figure out what the issue was for the longest time and figured it out tonight. I appreciate your patience everyone!

Yeah, I noticed the same issue, too. Since I already played the game back in the day, I have a suggestion for you. You could send an e-mail to assistant math prof Matthew Demers ("Wonderslime", the developer) and describe the problem:
mdemers@uoguelph.ca
The link won't let me download the game. It leads me to a page that says "You need access Ask for access, or switch to an account with access. Learn more"

Thank you very much ClassicPixels. :)
As I'm playing through DQ11, I can't help but smile in the number of small similarities my game has to it in various ways. I mean, right from the start... King Carnelian, really!? The game has been such a trip so far.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my own contribution!

This was a great game to fall back on after finishing Dragon Quest 11. I wanted something challenging and retro... and it being a DQ fan game helped it fill the void. Fun stuff.

Lucky!! I hope that you enjoy playing!
Let me know if you have any questions at all. :)

Redownloaded this after I got distracted by other games. Determined to see it through this time! As if to spur me on, the game has been very generous. After a total of four lottery games, I won the golden ticket. A few more and I got a Ruby of Greater Protection and Meteorite Armband!
...although I may now have a gambling problem lol

Wow, thank you so much KyleLascar for the shout-out -- that really means a lot. These games were both really near and dear to my heart, so it's cool to know that I have a few fans out there. I have more projects in mind, but none on the go. One day, when life settles down, I'll embark on the next. :)

If you enjoyed Dragon Warrior: Begin a New Quest and want to try out one of Wonderslime's earlier works, I recommend The Lost Legend IV, The Guardian of Light, a really good RPG Maker 2000 JRPG. This is a must-play for anyone who enjoys the aesthetics and mechanics of RPG Maker 2000 (which also means this game is more like a Final Fantasy fangame, but it still includes enemy slimes). I think the only way to download this game at the moment is via the Master List of the "obscure games request topic":

Thanks, Wonderslime, for granting us at least two superb old school JRPGs. Don't let your earlier works fade into obscurity. There are still people out there who appreciate these games even nowadays.

There's another way "to get rid of" the Golden Claw without losing (selling) it, but it only works during the post-game. If you have recruited a suitable character during the post-game, put him in your active party, give him the Golden Claw (can be equipped as a weapon) and then remove him from your active party. Voilà, you still own the Golden Claw without being burdened by its effect.

My advice is to listen to Firefly, who invested an insane amount of time and effort into this game!
Personally, when I've playtested, I've grabbed the Golden Claw, and just immediately cast Outside/Return and then sold it. A store will pay a very handsome sum of money indeed! However, it would be really useful if you're into the heavy grind (and, there is only one in the whole game). :)

Thanx - I didn't see the part about 50 medals !! What is your opinion about the Golden Claw ? Would you keep it or get rid of it. Every few steps - have to fight - gets old !!
I didn't mind mind having it (I experienced worse).
If you find it too nerving sell it (or don't get it in the first place)
But it will help you getting some necessary drops for the alchemy pot (still missing one ingredient).
My goal is to grind (and getting this last ingredient) and defeat Rubiss in the post game.
