You need RMXP for arc III and arc IV. There is a standalone version of the Super Pack (arcs I and II).
Let's have a serious discussion about homebrew RPGMaker games.

I'm a big fan of shorter games. The fact you compared them to TV Shows instead of movies is absolutely brilliant.
For the past while, my game designs have all been for shorter and shorter games. I think it suits the nature of the community more than big, drawn out epics.
Also ArtBane, update your freaking MotW page here.
Did that. I forgot to mention Quintessence as another example of a successful episodic game. Even though the project is relatively new Reives has six episodes out already. Each one only lasts a hour or so but Reives is able to put them out at a fast enough pace to keep the fans interested. Quintessence's recent success in the Misaos is not only a testament to the quality of the project but the effectiveness of this approach to development.

Not to toot my own horn here but Master of the Wind has been an episodic RPG since the beginning. It definitely has helped us with our motivation and we have learned a lot on the way. We knew the scope of the game would have been too large for just one single RPG so by breaking it into seven different arcs we hoped it would motivate us more to finish. I guess if there is a downside to it you can say the earlier arcs don't stand up to the later arcs since we didn't know the shit back then we do now. But it is also cool to see how far the project has come from the beginning. The fans also seem to like it and we try to leave each arc with an exciting revelation to keep people speculating until the next one. We handle the transfer to each new arc like The Way does. That way people who have played the previous games can keep their stats and rare loot they have amassed and newbies can jump right into the game.
Quintessence - The Blighted Venom
Not another shitty RMXP game!
But seriously everyone should check this out. I enjoyed playing the first three chapters of it even though only one of them actually featured any real gameplay. I am just waiting for Reives to release more so I can play them all in one go instead of digesting each one of them slowly and waiting eagerly for the next.

I just decided to update the first post out of the blue. For those who have followed the series I also thought you might like to see a preview of the next arc currently in development.

Fortunately for you guys the wait for Arc IV won't be long. It is going into the final development stages and will probably be ready for testing next week. The actual release date depends on how fast the art gets done but there is a good chance it will be out sometime around the end of July.
Smash Brothers
-Do you play Smash Bros?
I used to play it all the time but once my friends stopped playing and I got beat in a few tournaments I stopped. Now I am waiting for Brawl to come out.
-Character of choice? Why?
I like to play as them all. It used to be Samus but after the last tournament I played in everyone was playing as Samus which was a turn off. Instead I tried playing as random characters like Kirby and Game and Watch.
Tournaments?
Yes. They are not as fun as you think. Most people play the same characters and use the same game breaking tactics to win.

I forgot to mention there is a walkthrough for the first arc (still waiting on the other two). You can find it here.
