I admit I don't frequent the site very much any more, but please let me know when this has a download - I think I may be obligated by honor to review it.

Best of luck with this, and any other projects you may have up.


Nice to see you! It truly has been forever! Hope all is well with you too!

I should definitely finish this prequel sometime soon - the contest version was over a year ago now ;w;

A Stolen Love and the Forgotten Promise

Just played it!

A nice game with a ton of content packed into two hours. The tl;dr is that it's insanely fast paced - for better or for worse. Every map has a ton of items to find (including upgrades) and the gameplay is deep enough for a game 4 times the length (especially if there was a full cast). Levels and skills come fast and combat is zippy. It's like I'm at an all-you-can eat buffet for two hours, haha.

The secrets in the forest were nicely designed and telegraphed, and the looping level design in the third area was on point. The elevator set piece was my favorite, and I loved the coffin/undead humor in the penultimate area. The story was nicely written and the characters were very entertaining, though the ending was kind of abrupt. I believe I missed one or two secrets overall. Otherwise I grabbed everything and defeated the optional boss.

I found the game to be very easy and balanced forgivingly, but the optional boss and final fights packed a punch and forced me to master stun locking. In other words, I think the balance is perfect for a regular/story mode. The inclusion of a hard mode and optional dungeon would've been great, especially given the depth of the combat, but it's still a strong result given the one-month time period. I think it's the best project you guys have made so far. A solid 4/5 from me.

Edit: I also loved the little skits that played when you rest at the inns. Great touch :D

Thank you so much for your kind words and for that really cool take on the title screen! :D I'll definitely have to consider revisiting it. I try to make sure most of my games depart away from the traditional ATTACK/DEFEND/MAGIC system, but lately I've been doing a lot of quick jam games in 2k and that software isn't as robust as VX Ace.

you guys have the best game names :P

Thanks for your kind words! I'm happy that you enjoyed the demo. It was a fun thing to work on.

Unchained

Thank you! I promise I'll get that expanded version out as soon as humanly possible, lol. My plate got pretty full this month.

Carlsev Saga! This name brings back so many memories! I'd be curious to play this... classical Rm2k!

Awesome! I'm really hoping to use this project as a springboard back into this universe. This was originally gonna be an extended flashback sequence in Carlsev Saga Remake, but I think it works better as a standalone mini prequel.

Carlsev Zero looks better than Unchained.

Haha, thanks. The story is probably better than Unchained. Gameplay probably not so much. It's only a couple hours long, without sprawling dungeons and puzzles, but I'm optimistic :D People seemed to like the event demo. I'll probably be wrapping this up before going back to wrap up Unchained anyway.

Rejection - An RMN Birthday Game

A fun little community game :D
