Hero's Realm: Heroic Edition
I always wanted to publish a game based on everything I enjoyed as a kid. This will be the end result.
I always wanted to publish a game based on everything I enjoyed as a kid. This will be the end result.
Lead four heroes and their teams against the evil forces of Mephistocles, the Lord of Demons in this retro-RPG adventure. Switch between the four heroes as you explore dungeons, ascend towers, spelunk caves, save villages and defeat the forces of evil! Reminiscent of classic NES/SNES-era RPGs, Hero's Realm is a fun romp in old-school RPG nostalgia.
- Play as 4 powerful Heroes and their customizable party throughout a four chapter story, each with their own skillset & battle commands!
- Come together in the final fifth to adventure with all four parties - switching between them anytime, even in boss battles!
- Customize your heroes' party by selecting from 21 unique character classes split between the mage, warrior, and rogue specialties, including unlockable elite and master classes!
- 25 character classes (12 base classes, 4 hero classes, 6 elite classes, 3 master classes)
- Over 30 hours of game content and sidequests
- Classic NES-era and SNES-era RPG gameplay
- Multi-party switching system
- Multi-party tactical battles
- Expansive world map

I have a disappointing update to post. Some time between March 2020 and October 2019 I managed to corrupt the game's database, and didn't notice until today.
It had something to do with the Battle Screen tab (a tab I apparently rarely visited! I only noticed it because whatever corruption was happening/happened spread to other areas.
You can see my topic here on it:
https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/25678/
I restored my backups retroactively, looking for a non-corrupt one and thankfully I found one... from Avee, after he replaced the tilesets with his work, dating back to October 2019. So nearly 18 months ago! That's nearly... 7 hours worth of work!!!
Seriously, I haven't worked on this game much in 2020, and not at all since my dad died in October 2020. I spent most of 2020 (and 2019 tbh) quite depressed, that absolutely sucked any drive I had. I think I have finally turned a corner in in early January and fired up RM2k3 again for the first time today - to discover the corruption.
I am sorry for this downer of an update.
I am getting back on the horse now, though.
Thankfully, so much of the project depends on the work of the resources creators Avee, zDS, pianotm, visitorsfromdreams, and mattthulhu
Cover Art
A cover art I commissioned via Twitter from @mattthulhu. I hope to use this in gameprofiles and promotional material. The inspiration comes from the cover art of NES Dragon Warrior games (primarily DWII).
Resources
Music
In 2020, zDS and pianotm were revitalized and created several more tracks for the remaster. I have a snapshot of the current track list below. 44 incredible tracks are slated for this game, and I couldn't be more proud.
I hope to showcase the latest works in a new blog post soon.
Animations
visitorsfromdreams implemented 43 separate battle animations for spells and weapons in mid-to-late 2019

They are incredible!
Sprites
Wow, where do I even begin!
Avee has gone above and beyond any reasonable expectations for this project, and without him I'd have been completely sunk.
He has finished a veritable mountain of monster sprites (360 monster sprites, counting all recolours)
He completed all of the tilesets AND took it upon himself to replace the graphics in 879 maps with them! This is, in fact, the backup that I am going to have restart my work on.
He is hard at work now creating battle backgrounds, and has provided 33 already! I am going to showcase them soon so that we can all marvel at them.
So a huge thank you to all of the resource creators on Hero's Realm remaster.

I feel like you've officially joined me on the path of the sell-out. Excellent.
Integrity was never really my mantle to bear.

It is more of a remaster than a remake, per se.
