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.



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

For anyone still following, I am just plugging away on spriting items for the item animations (when you open a chest, search a pot, etc.). The plan is to eventually use them to make a game sheet manual, like what they used to make for the old Dragon Warrior games on the NES.



Super-soaker



You can see the many, many (many) images I've uploaded on the gameprofile here. I posted them regularly on Twitter, and even a quick summary on BlueSky ( https://bsky.app/profile/kentonagbone.bsky.social ). Please comment! I am desperate for validation.



Nintendium is the hardest material known to man



Again, I am focusing almost all of my efforts on making animations such as this because it is something I can quickly spin up and work on in short bursts, which is opportune with the kids' sports schedules during the week - I find myself sitting in a lobby of a sports complex or a nearby Tim Hortons several times in a given week.



Pelts and such



After I finally complete the item animations (I just have shields and weapons left - and for weapons I already have all of Avee's excellent weapon sprites. I just have to make miniturized 16x16(ish) versions of them), I will jump back into the battle animations. I need to figure out how to make FIRE. It's the next great challenge for me, spriting-wise! I'm oddly looking forward to it.



Flashdance Ashpants and Beefcake Pantyhose



When I started spriting in April of last year, I honestly never thought I'd make it this far. While I know I am relying a lot on references - and Avee's palette - I'm still pretty proud of myself. They are janky as hell, not all that great, but they're mine.



The top hats in the game!




Anyways, thanks for hanging in there with me. I promise that the updates will get more interesting soon.

I will leave you with this exciting teaser outline, courtesy of some secret work that Avee is doing...


who could this possibly be?

If only there was a place for fledgling designers. A place to NETWORK with other RPG MAKERS where one could post their ideas, get feedback on them, and perhaps even get better at things one is bad at...
jokes aside, is there a commercial demo or commercial build available yet? publicly or privately? I kind of wanted to do a fan trailer for this ♥.

I also have a few ideas for this game since I've been playing it:

- Implement AR and VR like Jungle-themed games like Jurassic World or Five Nights at Freddy's
- Healthcare integrated games like Pokemon Go.
- Implement Teleport to be able to go between locations, any 2 locations in the map you can teleport using Teleport Stone
- Lottery gaming minigame like Jackpocket Lottery at any castle within the world
- Gift card game app like Lucky Scratch at any castle within the world
- Add Choices that Matter within game
- Multiplatform including Switch, PS5, Xbox One
- Allow map editor for Game, especially in maps to be able to give and take stats via Twitch Integration App
- Instanced Loot for each player
- Multiplayer
- Include High-octane immervise open world. This game already has open world but I thought I would suggest it
- Win an E3 Award
- Include 3D cinematic in the style of Final Fantasy XV. You can pay for animator via Fivvver. It can help, it's only $5 and you will be able to get professional animation it's not that hard.
- Full voice dialogue including Hollywood Actors which should be within your budget, after Patreon
- Discord Integration, allow Discord posts to influence actions
- RPG

Hopefully this helps! I'll come back with 1000 more ideas next. Cheers. :)

Brilliant ideas. Let's slap this on kickstarter and ask for six figures.

All jokes about this game's development hell aside, maybe a devlog or blog post on where things are at and what needs to be done might help you steer it back into the right direction???

I was under the impression things were pretty far along; just don't want to see all this work go to waste. And remember that there's no shame in putting out a call for help.

I need music
Look for royalty free music on itch.io. At first I was thinking about recommeding the music in RPG Maker MZ - 8bit Retro Graphic Materials All-in-One Pack ... but you must encrypt your game so nobody yoink the music from the folder and you cannot encrypt a Rpg 2003 game.
My reply was a bit facetious as piano(tm) and zedDS have been making some killer tracks. I was poking a bit of fun asking for music because that was the only thing Gourd said they couldn't do
