"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.

Cool, I love this aesthetic!

You alive?


Yeah, I'm alive, lol. Well, sorta. I ran into a couple of health issues that prevent me from working on the computer as long as I have, this has affected college and this game sadly. I REALLY want to work more on it more, but as of now I can't.

I hope you can understand :-P

How I made the Dog Dance

In the right hands, a lot of cool stuff could be done with this, but this demo was interesting enough, and quite hilarious. I find it could be really helpful for custom weather in 2k3. Cool beans man!

zz Mystic Quest: Remastered

I'm actually really happy about this one!

Playing the silver harp doesn't make monsters come at you, it does the exact opposite.It kills the music, stops encounters, and doesn't let you open the menu.
Also you can't be damaged by terrain.
However you can still travel to towns and such. That fixes the menu and music as a result.
This a little thing you put in to make travel easier for now?
The encounter rates seem to be broken now as well even without the harp after exiting a town same for damaging terrain. This also works in dungeons.

I became aware of the Silver Harp error a couple days ago and I have fixed it. It's like when I fix one buy 4 more appear. It's getting annoying. But yes, I've fixed the functionality that has caused you so much trouble. Will be updating today.

The princess disappears when you rescue her and runs from the walls to go behind you. It scared me to be honest.

Hum...haven't encountered that myself. Strange. Perhaps it's a result of the Silver Harp bug as well.

Fatima says theif instead of thief.
Fixed now.

After you return the princess she says stat away from you instead of stay away from you. (That's easy to miss if you don't talk to her.)
Speaking of is there actually a different way to talk to her besides the item?

Fixed, also there will be a way to interact with her in the post game as she becomes part of the party. For the main game I wanted to make sure to mimic the first game when handling the princess.

Also there is a set of stairs taunting me forever in the throne room.
I can't get the flute and progress further since I can't find the NPC, so this is where I'm stopping anyway.
I can't fight anything after all since the harp broke the game.

Stairs in the throne room are for post game as well. The Fairy flute is in the game. You must make sure to do the sidequest in Rimuldar before obtaining the flute though. And the NPC, Roric will tell you where to find it.

That Harp was game breaking and I hate that I found out about it too late. I will be updating everything and putting up a new demo soon. I'm glad this is a demo and not a full release, no telling what bugs will be created from fixing others. Thanks again for your support in finding these bugs.

I've made a quick patch for the game, you can get it in the downloads section.

Just extract it in the same directory as DQ+. Should fix most of the errors you've found today.

The guard in castle Radatome's treasury says to bring our princess back to us twice. Damage tiles sometimes don't damage you after a second step on the electrical floor in same castle.
Due to the way the custom step counter is evented/coded, that's something I have to deal with at the moment. It doesn't use 2k3's damage terrain. I'll see if I can make it a tad more accurate, but I wouldn't expect much.

I've fixed the dialogue errors.

A guard in Garai in the house you need a magic key says after asking him where the grave is by hitting "yes" says.
"I can't gell you that."
The stairs near that same guard don't seem to work and act as a floor.
In the tomb of Garai there is a piece of paper on the wall that looks important, yet doesn't interact with anything.


The Guard in Garai is supposed to say that based off the Japanese translation/script.

It's like, Garai's Grave is so cursed that he doesn't want to let you know or be the cause of your death.

Took the stairs out too, It was supposed to put a bar/pub in there but I decided against it and forgot to remove it. It's gone now!

Glad the issues have been lessened! Thanks for the feedback!
Yep! I figured it might be something like that for the guard, but I have to be sure anyway. I bet the monsters were originally the same way, but I still have to comment on it. Having a blast with it so far. Being able to change the battle music keeps it fresh.


Yes, same with the monsters. But yes, thanks for making sure. I'm glad you're having fun with the game! During development I found the original battle music to be okay, but it gets annoying after a while. Which is why all the themes are included. If you're feeling adventurous...try Battle Music from 13... XD

Currently working on these bugs, seems some of them are timer based and some are just silly on my part. Like killing an enemy twice, I had that happen once during a playthrough and I guess I need to put in some wait operations for further stability. Thank you for taking time to give feedback, issues should be resolved by midweek or Friday.
I figured, but I like to make sure things don't go overlooked.
Speaking of the timer in the upper left seems to be broken,but I have around 40 mins playtime atm. We'll see what happens once it reaches 90 mins.

I doubled checked with the Xan crash, it's consistent. To anyone playing this demo don't read the book.
Also, I haven't been able to re-create that Xen crash. There's no event/code in the book of his house. That's strange. I'll try though.

Just tested Maira well, and I haven't gotten any black screens. This is really weird. I tested the game well enough to make sure there wouldn't be any soft locks/screens. Could you try to replicate that issue? I can give you a God Mode demo if you need it so you won't have to grind.

Edit: This may be because of the differences between RPG Tsukuru 2003 and Rpg Maker 2003. But in the update, I've made sure you don't need RPG Maker to run the game. Please, instead, run the RPG_RT.exe to run the game.

Edit 2: Actually, I just patched up these few issues. Will be uploading a new version soon.

RPG_RT.exe only gives me direct draw errors, so I've been running afm_game starter.exe to play. Chances are that's why I'm getting half the errors and blackscreens and such. I think it's Windows 10's fault personally from what I looked up about it. There is a chance that there is a way that capability mode or a old driver file fixes it, but I haven't had the time atm.

I did mash the interact button near the book, but it's more likely the building itself. Going through the game normally feels better for finding these sorts of things. The fights are brief unlike the original, so it doesn't set me back too much, level 1 is just a pain.


Wow, that's strange. I'm on Windows 10 and RPG Maker 2k3 runs great. This is another reason why working with 2k3 is sometimes a pain, the resolution. I can help you troubleshoot the game in fullscreen mode. Afm game starter kind of runs games a bit choppy in my experience. But at least it works.

I'll get a converted version up with the official release of Rpg Maker 2003 so people can play this game without issue. In the newest update I've taken out the timer so you can play freely. Please give that one a try.
