I just played the game and oh boy this was satisfying..What really pissed me off me was the ending,I just hate cliffhangers like seriously..i hope you're done with part 2 cause i really wanna see what's gonna happen with carter and tristan( i think that was his name) and the remaining 8
Also i have another question:
Why did you choose tristan (or whatever his name is) to get out of the room with carter...You could've have chosen Leah or broody who are way more closer to Carter..Why did you choose a traitor?
I'm working on Part 2 but it probably won't be out for awhile. Once it gets to a certain point, I'll probably make a new page for it.
I chose Tristan because I just thought he was an interesting character that I could do more with. That, and I wanted Carter (and the player) to be suspicious of him.

Wait..wait...i was just checking out the soundtracks of the game,and did you perhaps take inspiration from a game called zero escape,cause both this rpg maker game and zero escape have the same concept
Shine:10 people are trapped by Vox with carter as the Mc
Zero escape: 10 people(It was Nine at the beginning...if you already played the game you know what i mean) are trapped by zero with sigma as the Mc
Plus there is a huge amount of soundtracks that you toke from Zero escape there was a soundtrack called *Nonary Game* and this was what the "game" was called in 999 and zero escape
I'm not trying to be mean over here or something.I just want to know cause zero escape is one of my favorite games adn it just feels soooo god to find an rpg maker game based of it
P.s Zero escape and 999 mindfucked the shit out of my brain
Hmmm....suspicious
Yes! I'm a huge Zero Escape fan, and 999 and VLR are two of my favorite games. So you're right, it's one of my main sources of inspiration for Shine. I also took some inspiration from a manga called Liar Game where the characters play psychological games against each other.

Spoilers:
• What was Tristam's thoughts behind the first game? Did he want to win points for himself to get out quicker or did he pick a higher number to teach everyone else a lesson? By his own logic, he could've chosen 5 and been out, but he went out of his way to choose a number that wouldn't be enough.
He just wanted points, but figured someone might go against the plan. When they agreed to choose 1, he figured any betrayer wouldn't go higher than 5, since it wouldn't give enough points. That's why he told them they were greedy.
• Does Shine simply make them observe things faster or do they physically move faster? And wouldn't the research team also have to be injected with Shine in order to be able to understand the tests as they happen? Wouldn't they already have to have the proper dosage and knowledge of the side effects in order to run the tests on the drug itself?
Shine speeds up the brain's processing and enhances its function. However, it does not actually make them faster or affect their perception of time like Lumen stated. That story was all a fabrication. The frozen people are in that state for a different reason (which will be revealed in Part 2.) Lumen just used Shine as an excuse because he didn't want to reveal the actual reason. Near the end, when Tacet tells them Shine is not responsible for trapping them, he was hinting at the other reason.

Part 2 info.

Awesome, dude! Glad to hear this, can't wait
Glad you're looking forward to it! I've been pretty busy recently so I'm only working on it a little at a time. As things progress further, I plan to make a new page for it with more info.
The future of Shine.

VX Ace! My shitty computer can't handle MV lol
Can't wait!
I probably will stick with Ace, since it does what I need and there are more resources for it. I'm just not sure what to do about characters. I'll try and figure something out.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you ever plan on making a part 2? If so, do you plan to make it similar to this one or will the next part add more gameplay?
I'm thinking about it, but I haven't started yet. I know what direction to go with it, but I'm still planning out specific details. If things go well, I'll probably continue. As for more gameplay, it's possible but I'm not sure yet. I usually focus on the story, then add gameplay sections where it seems most fitting.
What is the purpose of the Shine? Will we ever find out?
Hopefully. Shine was developed to help the organization finish their project, so they're connected in a way.
Why was Carter viewing the games while he was in the games? Was it showing him viewing a different set of games a week after his own games? Why did he do it? What was his motive for viewing those games?
Every scene you see at the HQ takes place a week after the school scenes. Carter was impersonating Vox while viewing a recording of the games he was in a week ago. The Vox that ran the games in Room 204 was the real one. You could say the game kept switching between two time periods, or that the games were all a recording being watched from Carters point of view. Carter was there because he needed to steal a copy of the footage.
They're all on the Shine, right? If that is true, doesn't that mean Tacet is also on the Shine? Otherwise, he'd be unable to communicate with the students because he'd be moving slowly/frozen, wouldn't he?
You can say that for now. I had another idea, so maybe I'll explain it if I continue it.

How do you pronounce Loce?
I didn't understand the testing bit...
If they were captured, how was Carter in the
experiment room while being in the classroom?
Locke is pronounced "lock."
The testing bit... Are you talking about the testing they mentioned doing on their brains?
And for your last question, view the third answer under my spoiler. Hopefully that clears it up. Thanks!

Can I ask? Is the game we play at the lounge related to Town of Salem?
Just a question. And the game is great!
Yes it is! I'm a huge fan of that game, and thought it was fitting for Shine. I made some changes to it though, so it's a little different.

@Neshiro
Is it possible for me to see the Mafia Part of the game in the engine itself?
Yeah, you should be able to just open the game in VX Ace.

random thoughts
blue= what i consider important
other=thoughtshow did carter notice what is going on outside and no one else? they were all facing forward and he was at his desk.
unless he noticed after he went to the window. but why did he go to the window?
as the girl next to him said he should be doing work he was behind on.
worse, how is it you can think its a prank? in this case that's not a logical conclusion without leaving the class room
thy could even open the window and talk to them.
still there are so many people at these schools its impossible to imagine everyone just not moving as a prank.
"The college took place in a small town"
^what?
how does a building do something?
it should be a action. Education,studies,meeting
The menu is in Japanese!?
its odd how you have a save spot at your desk when you can free save in the menu
leahs eyes are really creepy o.o
only games and anime can make RPS epic!
but if their processing power is extremely high rather then seeing people appear frozen wouldn't it play out like normal but with more detail?
maybe i am missing something. but a reason in which the students need to play this mafia roleplay game is not presented.
to save the students in class? what danger are they in? why do the winners listen to these people at this point?
even worse there is no reason presented why they should take the game seriously. the mafia members could just tell the other team who they are and end the game immediately.
what purpose do they play for?
there is really large gaps in between saving. like you get out of the class room,get introduced to everyone,watch a video,the fainting scene,get the rules for the next game and even start the game and still have not be able to save.
The moment annas role was revealed was epic!
:O carter died!?game over for the town!
Hahaahah Tacet warns blake that they do not condone any violence when they forcibly drugged college students without their knowledge and forcibly detained them at school...
there are so many issues with how shrine works. but i don't want to go over them all.
so carter and tristian can travel through time? how was carter watching and communicating live with himself and the class?
unless he was watching the review but that still leaves the plot hole of how did they escape to pull this off?
and how did they fool them?
the last save point was way back when you were able to control your character and meet the 2 students
General 2H
This will be short but ill start with saying i enjoyed this experience and found it entertaining.i also want to point out how thankful i am that this game gave me a nice break from battles which plague the community.
however there are plot holes,questionable details and things that are not explained well enough or at all.
i found my immersion being destroyed somewhat often the more i think about the details that are given to me that are supposed to make the story work.
(notes are above)
still the execution of the story was interesting enough to continue with these flaws
and at various points i was surprised how much i was pulled into what was going on.
The game ended as a part 1 o a possible second part might be made in the future.
i would be interested in playing that if/when its released
Overall
Despite my complaints i would recommend giving this a shot.
Thanks for your comment, shayoko. To answer your questions:
how did carter notice what is going on outside and no one else? they were all facing forward and he was at his desk
The other students weren't really paying attention. It's hard to convey this with RPG Maker sprites, but you could say they were killing time on their phone, reviewing their homework, etc.
worse, how is it you can think its a prank?
Things like that have happened in real life. You can watch videos on Youtube where people are outside, or in a mall, and suddenly freeze in place. It confuses a lot of people, so I guess you could say Tristan assumed it was that.
but if their processing power is extremely high rather then seeing people appear frozen wouldn't it play out like normal but with more detail?
The effects of Shine didn't make them appear frozen. That was a lie by Lumen. Tacet hinted at this when he said "Shine isn't the reason you are trapped here" to Locke.
maybe i am missing something. but a reason in which the students need to play this mafia roleplay game is not presented.
By the time of the Mafia game, they were all affected by Shine, so you could say they were all on the same "level." They wanted to see how people performed when they were all equal. The earlier games were just seeing how quickly Shine affected them, and if it gave them the good or bad side effects (or both).
the mafia members could just tell the other team who they are and end the game immediately.
They didn't know what would happen to them if they lost, so they wanted to win.
there is really large gaps in between saving.
Yeah, sorry about that. Since it's fairly short, I figured people wouldn't need to save often. I could always add more though.
Hahaahah Tacet warns blake that they do not condone any violence when they forcibly drugged college students without their knowledge and forcibly detained them at school...
True, heh. Although he mainly meant no fighting, or anything that would interrupt the games.
so carter and tristian can travel through time? how was carter watching and communicating live with himself and the class?
unless he was watching the review but that still leaves the plot hole of how did they escape to pull this off?
and how did they fool them?
They didn't travel through time. It just jumped ahead a week and didn't show how they got there. Carter was impersonating Vox, and he was watching a recording of the games. So you could say that the events of Shine had already happened, and Carter pretending to be Vox was in the present. As for how Carter and Tristan were there, they didn't escape. Or what I mean is, they didn't get to the headquarters by escaping the school. I don't want to go into too much detail in case I decide to continue it, but they were there against their will.

Anyway, thanks for playing Shine and I'm glad you enjoyed it despite its flaws. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. As for Part 2, I'd love to make it. I just wanted to see how this game did and if people were interested.
