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?

I remember when I first opened noteworthy composer free demo way back when I was 15. I just doodled with music notes and it was an absolute mess. I was so proud. I should make an midi file song again sometime to see how ive grown

Man

It's been another month already. I guess I should post an update? (I didn't accomplish much, but pianotm and zDS have! zDS even trained a new composer...)
Maybe I'll copy your idea of just posting updates straight to your game page.

this is what happens when you don't accomplish much in a month
Does anyone else need constant validation that their venture has merit, or is it just me?

You'd think MZ would use a dictionary for switches/variables by now?

That implies that some of the billions of people in this world also don't have the same thoughts. Still is valid, considering that this is something that's given effort. You'd want some feedback from it, after all.

You're magical to me.

From one person who is making a longform game and craves validation to another, your venture has merit!

That's the best I can do right now :P
I can venture to give you constant validation, but it won't have any merit.

Also, I'll validate anytime!
I've been showcasing screenshots from the pixel work that Avee has supplied lately, but pianotm and zDS have also been hard at work composing a fantastic soundtrack for the game! I have been working towards making a video showcasing some of the more chill tracks they've made.

So stay tuned for an upcoming "Heroic realms to chill in" video, coming soon
Project is lookin' great! Keep going!
Loving all the new stuff! It's looking great, kentona!
