VALISFAN'S PROFILE

I'm ValisFan. I used to go by the name RPG Cove on GamingW. I made a few games, Comradis and Trap and Search. But now, I am working on a non-linear game similar to Fallout 2 or Elder Scrolls on RPG Maker 2003.

Sozora's Labyrinth

I downloaded the demo of this game, I thought it was very pretty, it reminded me a lot of Tohou. I really liked the battle animation sprites, especially Jean Sozora. I hope you are not going to over extend yourself.

Long shot here.. But is Crimson Minotaur an obscure reference to House of Leaves?
No Crimson Minotaur is supposed to be like Red Bull. Red = Crimson, and Bull = Minotaur lol.

And Idida1, yes I will make gender choosable., since RPG Maker 2003 RTP already comes with resources for both genders of the same class. The male and female genders will both have the same stats.

I finally got to play it!
I'm definitely getting a Daggerfall vibe! It's actually really fun to wander around town doing silly stuff...
I'm ashamed to admit that I got my ass handed by rats on the basement of the fighters guild haha.

what are your plans for the future of this? perhaps another demo sometime?
Thank you for playing it. I do plan on releasing another demo. But I am busy with other things, like finding a job, and drawing my webcomic. (its not released yet.) If I get a good amount of interest in this project, then I will outsource parts of the project like building dungeons and battle balance to members of the community.

By myself, I can probably only create a maximum of 3 cities. Since each city is more detailed than the typical RPG Maker city. It seems like people mostly enjoy the quests in the cities and don't care as much about the fields and dungeons.

I get an error :(
"the file system4 cannot be opened."

Does this mean I have an incorrect rm2003 rtp? if so... where could I download the right one?
I mean I have played other rm2003 games... :(

Sorry, you probably do have the wrong version of RPG Maker 2003 RTP. But I have included a download which includes the RTP. It should appear on here in a few days. You could also find the RPG Maker 2003 RTP by searching "RPG Maker 2003 RTP" on Google and clicking on the first page.

You can join any faction in the game as any class. You can do the same thing in Elder Scrolls so thats why I made it that way.

Your skill roll is affected by both a stat (Intelligence, Agility, or Maximum MP) plus your skill, and then I make a roll that ads a number between -5 and +5. So if your combined Intelligence and lockpicking skill is 10, the maximum roll you can get is 15 and the minimum roll you can get is 5.

I quit shortly after I got killed in the woods :P But I joined the thief's guild, saved the burning mage, managed to steal a lot of stuff, saved the girl's cat. Got that maid's golden plate and whole bunch of other little things.

I love how genuinely interactive it makes the game world.

You find yourself actually giving a shit about what your character can do/does and actually giving a shit about the NPCs - That's the main thing.

(Oh I don't know if Fallout had it or not 'cause I've not played it myself.. But "Save Anywhere" could break your mechanics quite a bit if somebody was persistent enough to keep spamming "dice rolls" couldn't it?)

I made it save anywhere because Fallout and Elder Scrolls both have save anywhere. You really can't abuse the dice rolling system because if your skill is too low, you will not succeed no matter how many times you try. Like if your trying to open a door with a 20 difficulty, if you have a 5 lockpicking skill, you will never be able to open that door without raising either your lockpicking or intelligence stats.

Which class did you choose at the beginning? I'm planning on working out balance in battling later on. And there will be joinable NPCs in the game too, because battle with only 1 character is pretty boring.

Looks like this could be interesting. Subbed.

EDIT: Just had a quick go on the demo.. Although there's tonnes of broken things and unfinished things and the like.. It's actually REALLY entertaining and the systems work brilliantly. I'm kinda shocked nobody has done this before.
Thanks for testing out this game. I'm glad you had fun. What were your favorite quests or things to do?

I actually think making a sandbox game like this is easier and more fun to make than a standard linear jRPG game. Cutscenes especially take a long time to make in RPG Maker. I don't really have to worry about making a complex storyline here, I can mostly focus on the gameplay. But there will be a storyline later on.
