Yo this is lowkey insane looking??? So much movement and life at display. And it would have looked great even if the battler was static, but the fact that you went the extra mile to animate it is really something to behold! Stunning work.


Haha, thanks man. Implementing this stuff in 2k3 just about killed me but I see it was well worth it. I thought about doing the attack animations too but we'd be waiting another 11 years, lol. Again, thanks for the feedback!

I'm beyond impressed! Just wow!


Thank you! This wouldn't be possible without Cherry/DYN RPG or Kazesui. Happy to hear you guys are liking it!

We back!

HOLY MOTHER OF THE INVENTOR OF PANTS AND CYPRESS STICKS!

ITS BACK?! Alright this is one of the few games i am actually looking forward to. And probably the only hero orientated one.....

Have a good one!

Gahaha how to make a day better.


I'm glad I could make your day better! Been working on this in the shadows for some time now. Happy to also hear you're looking forward to it. Thanks for your support!

Holy crap you're back, even if briefly! What happened after all this time?


Hey there.

Just a lot of life stuff has been going on. I know everybody has stuff going on so no big deal. Picked up new hobbies, work, health scares etc. and unfortunately this went on the back burner. That's life I guess.

In terms of the game I do still intend to finish it. Even if the scope has to be reduced but as of now it is officially on hiatus. Just booted it back up for old times sake myself and I don't want this much work to go to waste. It also came to my attention that people couldn't actually play the beta all this time so I had to fix that.

Anyways, thanks for asking. You've always been a strong supporter of this project and I appreciate that.

ok. why are all of the project files missing? I can't play the game... it's stupid


My apologies, it should be fixed now. Google and Mediafire kept DMCA striking it.

Where's your legendary game release at?
Happy new year Ljink!



Holy, it seems that I didn't get this notification, sorry about that. The game is still slowly but surely making progress. I have some health issues, and a college capstone that I'm still working out before I can fully commit to this game's final release. As I've told others, I really want to work much more on this game but at this time I can't work on it as much as I'd like. Please understand.

And happy belated New Year to you too!

Turn-Based Template

author=bulmabriefs144
In general, unless you're comfortable adding pages of stuff, it's rather difficult to import to a nearly complete game. It's kinda something that works better when you just started, since it's a template, not a simple patch.

However, what you can do is finish the game, then copy the necessary common events, TurnWait events, and creature party events. It will likely take about a day or two to do, as you're copying about five or six common events + (3 pages x number of ) + (1 monster event x number of monsters). For me, that was about 380 monsters and about 300 monster parties (roughly 1286 things to fiddle with, although thankfully this mainly involved copying, I have to do about the same every time I make a major update to battle). Yeah, it's tedious. This is part of why I've moved to try to simplify battle, cuz all those hours, and I get critiqued about how something else failed.

The good news about this, is unlike with plugins, you can massively customize this. Initiative, breakable weapons, attack/defense status, you can do alot of stuff with this.


Whoa, just got a notification for this from a post I did 5 years ago! The game has taken an entirely different direction now and literally just runs on common events. Thanks for the 5 year response though, lol!

This project still looks fantastic. It honestly looks like something Square could release, although they'd probably put a horrible upscaling filter or two over the graphics first. I just hope it gets finished.


Thank you! And I hear you on those Square "remakes". The smoothing filters are awful, just clean cut pixels here. And yes, if I don't finish anything else, I will finish this game. I've come too far not to.

Dragon Quest + Demo is Live!

Also, you can't level up past 19, even though it displays 26000 EXP. I fought the Golem and the Mad Knight, got to like 32000 EXP, wondering why I wasn't like level 21 at that point.

Looks like Green Dragon's been replaced, as well. RIP.

I didn't implement levels past 19 yet, I kind of didn't expect anyone to get there in this demo. Guess I was wrong, lol. I'll also implement up to level 30 in the patch.

And yes, the Green Dragon is gone too and replaced with a Hacksaurus. I kind of wanted this game to not be too familiar with people who have played the first Dragon Quest a million times like myself. But I can easily implement a "Classic Mode" for the final release, but that's a little ways off.

It's been a while since I last posted. I managed to get stuck at the part of needing the rainbow bridge. I could never find the boy that is normally in DQ1 to progress. Also have fun with the new DQ that has come out?

Ah, I think you mean the Fairy Flute? The Fairy Flute quest takes place in Rimuldar, you need to explore the outer edges of town to engage that quest. The rainbow bridge is made once you find the rain staff and sun stone. Find both of those and find the sun Shrine to the most south east of the map.

And yeah, my eyes have actually gotten better lately. I have gotten about 30 hours in to DQXI and am enjoying it so far. I'm not making as much progress due to the fact that my eyes aren't 100% but still I'm making progress. Thanks for asking. I'll try to make the new sidequests more apparent in future builds, I just didn't want to make a 1:1 remake of the game in terms of story telling.

Using Evac in Domdora caused me to get a black screen with Maira's music playing, probably because I had recently been there. On a related note, it is difficult to find the Fairy Flute in this version. Also, is it just me, or are the encounters in Domdora nerfed compared to the NES version? At least now you only encounter the same monsters as in the desert surrounding the ruins.

Huh, well that's not good. I probably know what's wrong and I'll fix it soon. Yeah the Fairy Flute starts with a quest in Rimuldar, you need to initiate a side quest within the outskirts of the town (in the same map though) to find the flute, it's still in Maira but there's some events that need to happen before you can actually get it. I did this because I wanted to make the game more like a linear RPG compared to the first DQ. I might change it though in the final build.

I tried to lower the encounter rate in Domdora as I found it frustrating in my playthough, but I can up the rate if that's what the fans want. This is more based off of the SFC/GBC version though. I haven't had much time to work on the game but I'll try to have an update out soon that addresses some of these issues.

Edit: I just fixed the Domdora Evac issue, just something silly I did. It'll be a part of the new patch.


Thank you both for the feedback.

I'm happy nothing too crazy happened to you, that was a bit concerning.

Also seems like you might be becoming sensitive to Blue Light which most computer screens produce, and there is actually a filter you can get (I remember a co-worker of mine telling me this that was for OSX devices, might be possible that Laptops/desktops have that option too). Hopefully your condition will be reversible, and when you do come back I suggest you start wearing protective lenses or for the sake of your health in general you can have a trusted friend help you out with your game.

If the project dropped all together is fine too, your health is more important.



Agh, you guys are so nice. Yeah, it seems that way, that I am probably highly sensitive to blue light. I will try to get one of those filters or some glasses or something. I just had no idea how damaging blue light was on the eyes. I'm fairly young so hopefully my eyes can recover from this. I would love to have somebody help me out with the game but I don't know anyone who could or even would.

That being said, I will finish this game. I've come too far with it to quit. Thanks again for your words of encouragement. You've been around for this project for a while and I'd hate for it to not be completed.

"Casts Revive"

"But it didn't work"

But hey, though! I'm sorry I've kept everyone waiting...without any updates. I've been working on the game very slowly, as still my eyes die if I look at a screen for too long. Even on low light settings they feel like they're burning.

Dragon Quest XI comes out next week and I probably can't even enjoy it. I've gotta wait for my insurance to get reinstated so I can get my eyes checked out and continue this game like I want to. In the meantime, there is a demo up which is essentially the entire game remade, but yes it's still incomplete.

Again, to everyone that is interested in this product I'm sorry for how it has slowed down, but it is my intent to finish it.
Your eyes are far more important than a good game.


Thanks so much! I will take care of my health first, and then continue full speed on this game.
