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

Ice Ice Baby

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).

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 ♥.
Hahahhahahahahahahha oh god no i am ao lazy

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
