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 am in love with the ice palette I built from the palette Avee provided for me.
Still working towards creating animations, but my work has slowed down a bit this past month. Kids' activities have mostly wrapped up and so I don't have that quick hour multiple times a week to work on the game while they are swimming/waterpoloing/soccering/etc. Yardwork is also ramping up (we are reseeding the lawn and building a patio), and WORK is ramping up. This cuts down on the time I dedicate to this remaster, as it is a lower priority in my life (relatively). Sorry, heroes!
I am unreasonably proud of this ice sheet (geddit? "ice" sheet? It works on so many levels (two)!)
One of the first things I worked on after the last blog was a puff/explosion animation. This took WAY too much time for me to do.
But it will look pretty cool both on it's own, and coming out of the fissure. Also, I realized that if I rotated it sideways and recoloured, I had a decent "breath" attack.
Coming in oranges, purples, and greens flavours soon!
I made a quick mini-skull. I guess it's like, a skull bomb? idk.
On the "darkness" kick, I also made some little ghosties. I have plans for other dark/ethereal magics, but haven't gotten to them yet.
I know I have to make some item animations, I tried my hand at a few scroll designs.
I tried making another ice boulder, too.
an ice boulder the size of a large boulder (actual size vs. zoomed in)
Anyway, back to the palette.
I recoloured the awesome ice animations that visitorsfromdreams made for me in the new ice palette.
Anyway, that the whole of what I accomplished this month (pretty much).

So psyched. This is one of the first rpgmaker games I ever played. And to this day its still probably in the top of its genre (snes style, characters on screen during fights, customizable classes, grindtastic romp genre?) ;P Anyway I've got a $20 framed on my wall, when hero's realm comes out I will break the glass

A hero is neither late or early, but arrives exactly when he means to. (Late 2018 is an outside chance at this point but don't bet the farm on it. 2019 is more likely)

Thank you so much for that response. :D

Crap, I better get to the bookie and see if I can cancel that bet.
I really can't wait to see how this turns out. With so many people claiming that menu based RPGs are bad design, and that good games can only be made with VX Ace and MV, I'm hoping this proves it all wrong.
Having 20 characters might be a bit much (you already get 16 - 4 parties of 4. You really don't need any more than that). Besides, it'd mean having to figure out a lot of eventing to get it to work since the game is made in 2k3... which would be a hell of a lot of work.

Have you considered using a 5-person battle system instead of the typical 4?
I hadn't really considered that for this game. Unfortunately, as Liberty alluded to, this game is made in a old engine and is limited to a 4 person party. I'd most likely have to remake the game to be able to achieve that effect. If this game is able to make its money back, maybe the next one I will do 5 person party. Thanks for the input!
author=VanillaCube... wouldn't that just be... New Game?
What I would like to see is an option in the new game+ to reset everyone back to level 1.

But with the previously gained Master Classes from the start, and equipment. It could be an option in the beginning barracks where you originally chose your first group/s.
If not, no huge issue, I've been enjoying the game for a while, and have had multiple playthrough.
I tend to choose my groups by rolling dice. I'm planning on trying a joker run next perhaps followed by hero only run.

hmmm not a bad idea. I kind of wished that DQIX had this feature for new games. I will add this to my "nice-to-haves" list.
