Jack's Revenge -A Wild West RPG-

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 16:13:53 +0000

STATUS: EARLY DEVELOPMENT (NO PLAYABLE CONTENT YET)

Developer's Note: A lot of what I'm doing now is working on the tedious stuff: items, weapons, skills, battle animations, etc. I know where I want the story to go, have the first quest mapped out, but I'm primarily a writer. I get excited to start putting in the story, then realize that I can't event the character collecting an egg because the item "egg" hasn't been created yet. This little piece of text will change as I start working on new things to tell you what specifically I'm working on.

Note: This game is still very much in the development stage and I don't have enough for a demo. I don't think I'll be releasing one until I get to the playtest phase as it's not going to be a long game (I'm aiming at 2-3 hours). This page is to show off the story and a few of the elements that have been put together for the game, including some characters!

Story:

Jackson Cole is a loving husband and father living on a decent sized homestead. When he goes into town to buy some ingredients for a birthday cake for his youngest daughter, he returns to find his farm burned down, his son murdered, and his wife and daughters kidnapped! What the kidnappers hadn't seemed to know is that Jackson wasn't always known as a simple farmer, but was once infamous for being "Mad Jack Cole," a gunslinger and bounty hunter known for always opting for the "dead" option of "dead or alive" bounties. His temper is legendary, and they've managed to spark it in the worst way. Jack heads out determined to save what is left of his family and avenge his son. Along the way he will enlist the aid of his father-in-law, Roy Feathers, a Marshall quietly derided for being a little too friendly with part monster folks known as "half bloods," Gustave Weiss, a half harpy sniper whose deadly reputation haunts him, and Clarence Branch, a young mage and tinkerer who is hoping to make a name for himself and prove he has what it takes to rival more traditional magic users with his special "Sygil Shot" weapon.

Their foe is no ordinary bandit either. "Blue Zander" Grimes is known for his vicious nature and odd, demonic powers. His reputation as an officer in the Half-Blood army, a rebel group that was put down a generation before, precedes him, and his small force of half-blood bandits all sport their own array of strange and useful powers and talents.

Featuring:

Jackson "Mad Jack" Cole:

A retired gunslinger and bounty hunter with a reputation for rage and cruelty. Any man might be angry when his family is abducted, but traces of dragon's blood in Jack's veins make his rage a far more potent force! Without the calming force that his wife represents, it's unclear just how far Jack will go to sate his temper.

Roy "Savage Law" Feathers:

Gustave "Red Breeze" Weiss:

Clarence "Clean Up" Branch:

and our main villain, Alexander "Blue Zander" Grimes:

Foxblade Fable - A 90's JRPG Inspired Adventure

Sat, 26 Mar 2022 00:05:34 +0000

OVERVIEW
Foxblade Fable is a fantasy adventure inspired by late 90s anime and JRPGS, and is in particular inspired by 2D PS1 & Saturn games. The game follows the adventure of Leigh Ravengale and his friends as they travel to a variety of locations to destroy the Binding Stones that summon and control monsters plaguing the kingdom.

PLOT SUMMARY

Spoiler

Between two kingdoms - the Telurian Empire, and the Preithes Republic - a brutal war has raged on for many years. Faced with an onslaught of terrifying monsters known as Dreadbeasts under the control of their enemies, the Telurian Empire forms a group known as the Blades: elite warriors under the direct orders of King Rowan and trained from a young age to slay these Dreadbeasts.

In the midst of this war, a young fox boy named Leigh Ravengale lives in the quiet village of Ashvale on the outskirts of Teluria, under the care of the village elder after his parents fell in battle. Leigh dreams of becoming a hero and living up to the Ravengale family name, and so he sets out from the village to join the Blades. As a Blade, Leigh is assigned a series of dangerous missions to destroy the Binding Stones, mysterious stone relics that give the Preithes army control over the Dreadbeasts, in a bid to finally turn the tides of the war and bring peace to the land.

However, in the course of his journey, Leigh will soon unravel the dark and tragic secrets behind the Blades and the war, lose the things he values most, and will in the end be forced to reconcile his desire for recognition with doing what he knows is right.

CHARACTERS

Spoiler

LEIGH RAVENGALE

Age: 14

The protagonist of the story. Leigh comes from a long line of famous Blades. His parents died in battle when he was very young, and he was placed in the care of the village elder in Ashvale, their home town. Despite not having many memories of his parents, he still couldn't help but hear all about the Ravengale line's many legends, and feels pressured to live up to those stories. As a result he can often struggle with self-esteem.

FERN WISTMOORE

Age: 16

A fellow Blade-in-training, she and Leigh became fast friends. Fern is large, loud, and heavy-hitting. However, she's got a heart of pure gold, and she values her friends far above anything else. She's also far more perceptive than most people give her credit for. She accompanies Leigh on missions.

FLINT STONEBROOK

Age: 17

An extremely gifted battle mage, and the son of a Blade captain, Flint considers himself the elder of the group and the most capable. He can be cocky and overconfident despite his relatively small stature, and sometimes he can be very stubborn in his opinions, but usually his heart is in the right place. He is assigned to accompany Leigh and Fern on missions.

IIKO ALDERFOOT

Age: 87

The Elder of Ashvale, Iiko Alderfoot took Leigh into her care and raised him after his parents died in battle. She is often a bit soft-spoken and very deliberate with her words. She holds a strong reverence for the natural beauty of the world, likes to see the good in things, and believes all people harbor kindness within them.
Despite her calm and caring demeanor, in truth Iiko was once a Blade. In those days she was deeply in love with another Blade, Sayha Nightsong, but after a series of events ending in Sayha tragically falling in battle Iiko deserted. Ever since, Iiko carries a severe distaste for them, and often tries to urge Leigh to stay away from that path.

COMBAT

Spoiler

Combat in Foxblade operates very much like a traditional turn-based JRPG, with a couple of notable mechanics:

AP SYSTEM

At the beginning of a battle encounter, every party member begins with 5 Action Points (AP). While choosing actions for a party member, you can input as many actions as you want, until that party member's AP is fully drained. Each action takes a different amount of AP - the rule of thumb is that basic attacks consume 1 AP, while magic and special attacks usually consume 2 or more.

At the end of each turn, every party member regenerates 1 AP. However, if a party member's AP reaches zero, that party member will enter the AP Charge state, which means the character cannot act until they have at least 1 AP. Note that even if AP reaches zero while deciding, you can still choose another action which will make that character's AP counter become negative. This will increase the number of turns the character must wait to act again - for example, if the character's AP becomes zero and you chain a spell which consumes 2 AP, the character's AP will be -2 and the character will be forced to wait three turns before they can act again. Draining AP past zero like this always ends that character's turn. Certain other things can also drain AP - for example, some enemy attacks are capable of draining party member AP, and can even wind up putting party members in AP charge or prolonging it if players are careless.

Additionally, there is one special action every character can take: Guard. It consumes 0 AP, but must be the character's only action on that turn (choosing Guard automatically ends that character's turn, and choosing any other action first prevents Guard from being selected). This allows characters to gain back lost AP.

This mechanic forces players to carefully balance between basic attacks to keep AP neutral, guarding to regain AP, and using more powerful skills or chaining many physical attacks at the expense of losing AP.

DAUNTING & STAGGER

During their adventures, Leigh & co. will sometimes encounter enemies with intimidating moves. These moves give them the Daunting buff. While Daunting, enemies become extra resistant to both physical and special damage. However, enemies with the Daunting buff also gain a stagger counter which can be charged by dealing damage - normal attacks charge the stagger counter by 1 point, and special attacks charge the stagger counter by 2 points.

Once the stagger counter has been charged enough, the enemy will be inflicted with the Stagger status effect. This stuns the enemy for 1-3 turns and also makes them extra weak to physical attacks (this can sometimes be a great opportunity to spend AP on a big attack chain!)

SOUNDTRACK

Spoiler

The soundtrack is meant to evoke the nostalgic retro feelings of an old-school PS1 or Saturn game. I've taken care to study musical devices and chord progressions used by games of the era, and I've also put a lot of work into making sure the instrumentation sounds suitably "retro" - all songs rely heavily on modern reproductions of popular 90s synths as the Korg M1, with a handful of effects to really drive the old school feeling home.

The soundtrack is obviously a WIP but I'll keep updating this list as I work on it.

DEMO VIDEOS (WIP)

Spoiler

(some UI may look a bit odd or oversized - the game runs at a very low resolution of 320x256 (to evoke the low resolutions of PS1 and Saturn games), and basically none of the built-in UI works at this resolution. I haven't finished patching everything yet, so some of them still look a little odd! bear with me, it's a WIP for a reason)

A demo video showcasing the battle system:

A video showcasing development of the first area of the game: Wispwood Ruins. Working on the overall look & feel of the area, and also its primary puzzle gimmick and also creating a workflow & approach for level design for the game in general.

For the most part, I am a solo developer on this project. I've thus far been handling all the scripting, UI design, mapping, concept art, portrait art, writing, game design, composing, sound design, etc. That said, the vast majority of the tileset art was done by [at] StR_Lite on Twitter. They're incredibly talented and I'm extremely grateful for the help!

I will be updating this thread as I work on the game, looking forward to sharing more progress with you!

Itchio Page: https://vis-mage.itch.io/mana-star

For the past several years, I've been working on an RPG project that's been heavily inspired by the Golden Sun series. It isn't a fan game, containing a completely new cast/world/assets/etc, but has been very mechanically inspired by the series. After years of work and planning, I’m excited to reveal my project, Mana Star!

Spoiler

The story follows the young adult Merric, heir to the prestigious role of Archmage of Falter. Having much to learn to fulfill his eventual role as Archmage, Merric has spent the majority of his life in preparation for the title. Things have not been calm in the world, though. Unexplainable, magical phenomenons have been sprouting up all across the globe, putting extensive pressure on the magical leaders of the world to find the cause. However, while out on a research mission, disaster strikes. By the time Merric is able to make it back to this home, there is nothing left of the city. Everything and everyone having been sucked into an unknown magical void.

And so Merric, alongside his cautious and stern guard Tyra, set off on a quest to find out what's behind all the strange magical happenings, and find a way to save their home. Along their adventures, they'll encounter and team up with several others who have befallen a similar fate, coming together to save those they love, and discover the source of the mysterious events that are slowly consuming their world.

Spoiler

Merric is an apprentice magician, training to eventually take over his father's role as Archmage. While realizing the weight and importance of this position, he can’t help but feel some level of resentment towards it, wanting instead to make a name for himself through his own accomplishments. He’s confident in his magical abilities given his status and noble upbringing, sometimes to a fault. However, he isn't very worldly, and grew up sheltered.

He loves both to see himself improve, and to help others improve as well. Has the passion to be a great leader, and the heart to empathize with the unfortunate, but can be blinded by his pride. Wants to help those in need, and be a leader to something great that he built himself, without his birthright given to him. He wants to prove he is more than his bloodline.

Spoiler

Tyra was raised by her brother, William, from a very young age after they lost their parents. She sees William almost as an idol, the peak of honor, duty, and compassion. She aspires to one day be an Army Captain like him, and in doing so was assigned as the Royal Guard of Merric Solarus from when she first enlisted at 16. To her, this is both a blessing and a curse.

She’s strong willed, and more stoic than the rest of the group, at least outwardly, but like the others carries a fair bit of baggage of her own.

Spoiler

Maria has long ago determined she finds the greatest joy in helping others in need, and decided on the path of being a cleric from a young age. She can be a bit childish and short-tempered, but is a very hard and honest worker, and puts the wants and needs of others before her own opinions.

Spoiler

Nala is the daughter of a Ridge Island Academy instructor, and studies alchemical ingredient trait compounding. Encouraged by her father, she has developed an intense desire to learn all of the different traits and how ingredients interact with each other, and why some ingredient combinations result in unexpected potions. This has led her to be sent out into the world at a young age, something that hasn’t been without struggle.

While very intelligent, she is not very worldly and often oblivious to those around her. Her and Maria have been close friends since they were little, growing up in the same village.

Spoiler

Mindas is the orphaned daughter of Arkaid Plasmid, right hand man of the Technomancer movement's former leader, Yvonne Pell. Even at a young age, she has proven herself a skilled engineer, and a prodigy in Technomancy. From birth, Mindas was paraplegic, being paralyzed from the waist down. She overcomes her inability to walk with her greatest invention, the Exo-Walker, a highly advanced magitech mech that she uses to get around and fight.

Mindas is an outcast for her race, being a Dreck.

Spoiler

Raptor is a stoic, yet adventurous Talus warrior. He was exiled from his clan and had his true Tallus name stripped as a result of not only associating too often with outsiders, but ultimately saving the passing-by dreck Mindas from a group of Kodrin bandits. While it may seem a good deed to most, his Tallus clan, like many other clans, forbid intervening in conflicts between other races. Raptor believes he did the right thing and rejected any apology to his clan for appeasement of his actions, and so he became a quiet and protective friend of Mindas.

Raptor’s birth name is not translatable to Common, but as he is a bird of prey, he decides others can call him Raptor, and he appreciates being allowed as part of the group, as he never was well liked in his clan, even before exile.

Spoiler

Captain "Nord" Sham is the captain of the crew aboard the S.S. Sham, and is the oldest of the main case, being in his early 40s. After a tragedy that resulted in the destruction of his home city, and the passing of most of those who lived there including his wife, Sham has made it his mission to rebuild the once great city, using the treasures he acquires to fund the rebuild. Most of his cast are actually people who have met similar fates, causing the crew to act as more than just a ship crew, and instead be more of a family. Despite his livelihood as a pirate, he's a big softie, and a bit of a goof.

Captain Sham is a very jovial and kind man, and is the sort to carry the burden of others on his back, wanting only to see everybody happy in return. Deep down, he feels guilty about the fall of Eastport ten years ago, and builds Phemera City to atone for himself. He knows this isn't healthy, but finds a sense of belonging in it. Everybody in his crew is not just a worker, but family.

Spoiler

Diana is Captain Sham's daughter. Of the two leading the crew, she's the more serious and level-headed of the two, despite her short temper. She doesn't have much patience for incompetence, and likes to tease those that are easy to fluster.

Spoiler

Isshera lives near the Pearl Reef between Tyria and Holthehaven, being the only child of the ruling family. She's the princess of her undersea colony, and is well aware of the status and privileges it grants her. She can be sassy and stubborn, but is able to back up her words by being very capable of handling things on her own.

Isshera practices her singing each night, dreaming of seeing the world, and becoming a warrior. She is a self-titled warrior princess, with a habit of exaggerating her battle stories against the monsters of the sea. She dreams of traveling the world and becoming a famous warrior and commander. She is capable of magical songs and may truly be fit to lead a unit of soldiers one day.

Spoiler

Wisps are the most central and defining mechanic and creature that you'll encounter in the project, being implemented in many different mechanics.

Wisps are small, elemental creatures that you'll encounter and collect through exploration. Each wisp has their own personality, and a unique design to reflect this. There are eight wisps for each element to collect, making 72 total.

On the overworld, wisps provide a variety of overworld skills you can swap between to affect the environment, such as destroying rubble with a fireball or lightning, or shifting from the real world into a mystic plane that might feature a secret path or new enemies.

From the menu, you can equip wisps to each character. Each wisp provides a unique skill to it’s equipped party member, with this skill increasing in power for each wisp of that element that the party has befriended. This allows for additional character customization, and alters the wisps a character can call within battle. Obtaining new wisps is often tied to exploration and optional quests.

In battle, Players and enemies can upon Wisps by using the skills granted by their equipped Wisps, after which they become active and float around the battlefield. If an attack or skill is used that matches the element of a Wisp stack, that stack acts as a damage multiplier, and all Wisps of that element are spent. 1 Wisp is x2, 2 is x4, 3 is x8, and 4 is x16. Additionally, passive abilities can provide bonuses based on the number of Wisps, and some powerful skills might have a Wisp cost to use at all. The player must be careful with stacking too many Wisps for a high multiplier, however, as enemies may also put and use Wisps on the field, they are a shared resource.

Spoiler

The game has a strong emphasis on exploring the world, with most objects being interactable for flavor text and item discovery. The items will most often be useful as ingredients for potions, or potions themselves for use in battles, as well as equipment and quest items. Some of the more useful items would only be attainable beyond obstacles and puzzles to be removed or solved with Wisp Skills. Wisp Skills are overworld skills you can swap between to affect the environment, such as destroying rubble with a fireball or lightning, or shifting from the real world into a mystic plane that might feature a secret path or new enemies.

Enemy groups roam around hostile areas and can have different roaming behaviors, and have awareness based on lighting in dark areas. Wisp Skills can be used to get their attention or avoid them, and when an enemy group is defeated, they are removed from the overworld. Players may choose to save or heal at a checkpoint, a Mana Crystal, however this will cause all enemies on the overworld reappear.

Spoiler

Battles take place in a side-view CTB (Charge Turn Battle) system. Instead of choosing the whole party’s actions at the start of the turn, each party member chooses their action and immediately acts in order of their speed. A turn order ribbon is featured to determine who will be acting in the next several turns, and will display how much an action will move a player down the ribbon after they do their selected action.

The player characters can attack, use skills, use items, view basic enemy information, attempt to flee, but the real stars are the Wisps. Both the party and their foes can call upon Wisps. If an attack or skill is used that matches the element of a Wisp stack, that stack acts as a damage multiplier, and all Wisps of that element are spent. Additionally, certain combinations can be used to perform powerful summons! Some passive abilities can even provide bonuses based on the number of Wisps, while some powerful skills might have a Wisp cost to use at all. Be careful with stacking too many Wisps however, as your enemies may wise up to your plan, and use your plan against you!

Weapons and armor both play a larger role in combat than what is usually seen in traditional JRPG combat. Instead of a static Attack command, every weapon has 1-3 weapon arts, skills unique to that weapon that cost no MP to use. Similarly, some other equipment such as shields and talismans can change the standard Guard command into something more specialized for the types of encounters you are currently facing.

Spoiler

In Calnern, there are several different humanoid races that you'll come across in your journeys, alongside several intelligent monster species. From the mole-like Moleders, to the sleek avian Tallus, you'll find that these different races each carry vastly different lifestyles, morals, beliefs, and more.

Spoiler

Monsters aren’t just the baddies that dwell in caves and forests, they’re an integral part of the world and how it functions. Many types of monsters are kept as pets or companions, while others are domesticated to help perform tasks. Much of the world’s natural phenomena are dictated by monsters and their own unique abilities. Some are cute and friendly, others are a massive threat to nearby civilizations, and are treated as such. Others yet are even intelligent enough to communicate or barter with humans, and even have their own developed society. With over 400 unique monsters to discover, and a monster-fanatic leading the party, you’re bound to find some favorites, and stumble into many misadventures exploring just what makes this vibrant world of creatures so special.

Spoiler

You can find the full, updating playlist here.

Spoiler

As opposed to simply offering an Easy/Medium/Hard difficulty option, players are able to fine-tune a variety of aspects of the game, allowing people to play through the game just how they like it, and allows for built in challenge modes. Some examples of adjustable parameters include buffing enemy stats, preventing the use of certain gameplay mechanics such as wisp calling or item use in battle, preventing healing in battle, raising or lowering gold and item drop rates, disabling level ups, and even a perma-death mode for those wishing to push their skills to the limit!

The Bad Son [Demo] [Indie horror RPG]

Sat, 19 Mar 2022 15:06:37 +0000

The anti-authority indie horror RPG that your parents don't want you to play.

PLAY THE DEMO (STEAM)

Features:

Exciting story: know the effects that are causing Malachai and the rest of "bad sons" who were born that day in 1979...
16-bit graphics with a unique nuance in the use of the color palette.
Enjoy the thrill of escape, run and hide where the authority can't see you.
Feel the tension: the enemy could attack you again at any time.
Explore varied maps: from the coastal town of Derrigtown to the holy mountains where Malachai leads the revolutionaries.
Collect the emblems of friendship given by the rebels.
Discover the easter eggs.
Black mood: children are people and not monkeys, so they can not be treated like pets.

Story:

Tom: You're out on a trip and you haven't even bothered to look at the fuel gauge in your car. Now what are you going to do, in the middle of the maze of corn crops. The wind is blowing hard, bringing to you the cry of a man named Malachai, whom some Derrigtown residents say is the devil in disguise. The foul breath of the enemy is coming to you now, but who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, you ask, doesn't Malachai just want to experience a different mode of existence?

Fighting: Fight your enemies in real-time with hundreds of weapons, and 7 weapon types. You don't have to wait for your turn to come. Every encounter is dynamic and won't happen the same way twice.

Skills: There are 11 skills to master, and as you use your skills they will get better: Pickpocket, Lock picking, Cooking, Alchemy, Thievery, Blacksmithing, Speech, Mining, Fishing, Woodcutting, and Harvesting.

Questing: Want to just play through the main quest? Fine do so, but you also have the option to not... If you want to just explore the world, do not fear there's plenty to do from side quests to other unconventional activities.

Crime: Want to pretend to be a criminal? well if so this is the game for you. You can kill anyone you want, steal, pickpocket, trespass, and if you're caught by a guard you can resist arrest, and kill all the guards... Have a death warrant on your head? Well, you can go to another region where you're not a criminal, unless the region you're a criminal in reported you to the other regions, then the only option you have is to seek out The Thieves' Guild.

Classes: Classes? Never heard of them. Want to be a warrior? sure, why not? Want to be a mage? sure, why not? Want to be a badass arcane warrior? Sure why not? Or do you just want to be a rogue, who knows magic, and carries around a sword, instead of a dagger? You can also do that.

Faction: you have four choices to pick from, you can only be a member of one at a time. Your options are The Thieve's Guild, The Brotherhood Of Assassins (BOA), The Magi Sentinel, or The Knight's Guild. There are other smaller factions you can join at the same time as any of the bigger four.

Books: Want to spend your time in a game reading? Who's stopping ya? There's a huge collection of books to read, written by the people of Edriones, past, and present. Reading will help you better understand the world you're in, the lore, the history, and the ways of the land.

Pets: Raise your pets, feed, them, take care of them, and allow them to accompany you on your journey..

Race and gender: Are you a girl? Do you want to play as a girl? Are you a human? Do you want to play as an elf? You can play as any of the three races, and decide if you want to be male or female. You can also decide which hairstyle, and color you want (3 of each). We all like to look pretty!
Lore: Rich lore that spans the entire timeline of the universe from beginning to current. Every inch of the game is connected and feels like you're visiting an actual world rather than just playing a game.

Manafinder - A tale about survival with all original pixel art!

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 18:42:51 +0000

Hi everyone, I've been working on Manafinder: an RPG with an emphasis on weapon selection using RPG Maker MV! I'm targetting 2022 for release.

As time runs out for Lambda and her fellow exiles, she must fight endless threats and face a destiny-defying choice: face the past or venture into the unknown.

What will you do?

Steam (+demo): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1582410/Manafinder/

Plot

Spoiler

There is only one kingdom in this world, and you have been exiled from it. With dangerous creatures lurking every corner, living in the wild is unspoken of.

Against all odds, and thanks to the grace of manastones, a community of banished survivors has formed a settlement. With their days seemingly counted, they've welcomed you as their latest champion, their hope, their manafinder. But seeking manastones is no ordinary task, for it is often a finder's demise either on the search itself, or by the hands of their natural guardians; powerful creatures who have grown attached to the energy emitted by these magical stones.

Between increasingly tense relations among the last remaining manafinders, and the difficulty of the job itself, surviving is slowly becoming a distant dream. In this time of crisis, will you be the heroine the settlement desperately needs?

Features

Spoiler
- 8~12 hours of playtime!
- Explore the fantastical environments of Aevi, with over 23 different biomes!
- Fight over 120 different beasts, each with a unique design and combat strategy!
- Use different weapons and elemental ores during combat to exploit enemy weaknesses!
- Collect items and weapons, find manastones, harvest healing plants, and mine elemental ores to aid you in your quest!
- Meet exiles, manafinders, nomads, the Gods, and other mysterious characters!
- Choices made throughout the game will not only define the fate of the exiled but also result in one of the two completely different final chapters!
- Take a break, and take on side quests with varied activities (including minigames!) that dive deeper into the lives of the exiled.

While I am a solo dev, I do have a team of collaborators helping me with all the assets.

MARGO - On the Brink

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 08:46:48 +0000

Kodots Games & Eureka

Presents

MARGO - On the Brink

MARGO - On the Brink (Working Title) is a surreal adventure/RPG with a traditional turn-based combat. You play as a nameless girl with no recollection of the past trapped inside the depth of the crumbling realities called the "The Brink". You must guide her in her quest to find what has been lost and restore the shattered world. It will not be an easy journey as the hostile entities called "The Watchers" are patrolling the ground. Draw strength from the benevolent entities called the "Whispers" to stand up against the Watchers and climb your way up to escape the broken world.

The Game

MARGO is developed as an adventure RPG with a slow-paced deliberate combat-system that requires no grinding. The game features no random encounter. The enemy placement is fixed and they will not respawn after being defeated. Inspired by the table-top board games/card games, MARGO combat is slow-paced and each and every action must be taken deliberately to survive.

This unique battle system is custom-made and we are currently developing it from the ground up. (Still a long way to go:kaodes:)

[rmxp] Romancing Walker II - Sequel to old rm2k game

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 23:37:17 +0000

For those who have played the original Romancing Walker, a popular game developed by Flare on Rpg Maker 2000. I received permission many years ago to make a sequel to the project, albeit at the time I lost focus and abandoned the project. This year I started work on the sequel to realise my dream of expanding on this games universe. The original game had a lot of charm and managed to produce a very playable game with interesting concepts.

I introduce to you Romancing Walker II. Sixty years have passed since the end of the original game. Ryle Laster and his companions are remembered throughout Factoria as heroes for defeating Chaos. Although the world has been at peace for so long, Chaos has found a way to return.

You set out as a part-elf part-human martial artist, his name is Ryu and he has chosen to move to East Factoria, Lavas Town (Previously known as Lavas Ville) where is grand father resides. He sets out on an adventure to experience Factorian culture, food, meet people and make friends. Along the way he may find something more than friendship or may find himself going it alone, it all depends on the player's actions. There are tons of easter eggs for fans of the original.

TileSets are by Inquisitor of RPG Palace (With additions from myself)
CharSets are a combination of RTP (used sparingly) and Sithjester (With modifications by myself)
New orchestral mp3 quality music from the original Romancing Walker soundtrack and music by Tanner

*Will add other credits when i build the list properly

I will add and update information when appropriate. Please check out the screenshots.

Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from any fans of the original game.

Thanks

"KIDS WITH KNIVES" - a creepypasta-throwback mystery adventure!

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 02:16:21 +0000

Kids With Knives is a simple-yet-elegant turn-based RPG taking inspiration from early-2010's creepypasta RPG Maker games. It's not really a horror game, but it incorporates spooky elements. It mostly makes use of stock assets and is fairly low-budget to replicate the homegrown amateurish aesthetic, with the emphasis on the story and gameplay. The game takes place within a single small town and its surrounding areas, which nevertheless constitute a surprisingly expansive, open, and explorable world with many secrets to find.

Development is still in progress, but we are expecting to release a playable demo sometime in early 2022!

No jumpscares, but content warning for animated blood and violent imagery and descriptions.

You and your mom have just moved to the small Minnesota town of Pineshade in search of a new lease on life. For you, this means a new school, new friends, and an unfamiliar environment. Despite being a bit lonely at first, the lush wilderness around the town is ripe for indulging your drive for exploration, and soon you manage to make some friends whom you can drag along on your adventures. But as you begin to notice strange occurrences around the town, and unexplained disappearances are reported, the three of you soon realize the town holds a dark secret: numerous malevolent cryptids and monsters of folklore and urban legend, collectively known as Unfound. The grown-ups don't believe you when you tell them of the supernatural forces at work, and you can't simply let them destroy Pineshade Town... so you and your friends resolve yourselves to stopping the Unfound menace and their mysterious leader.

The Player: An adventurous, strong-willed kid who lives alone with their mom, having recently moved to Pineshade Town from the city. The pragmatic Rogue of the group, they can get down and dirty in a fight, with stunning sucker-punches, handfuls of sand, and sneaky hit-and-run attacks all on the table. There is a certain untapped potential in them that could potentially lead to moveset diversification down the line...

They carry a pocketknife.

Luke: An introverted and somewhat cowardly boy who is nevertheless committed to helping his friends out of a jam. He is a genius tinkerer, able to build all kinds of gadgets to assist his friends in the war against the Unfound. Functionally the Mage of the group, he builds his expansive Tech skill arsenal not through leveling up but through crafting Tech Weapons.

He carries a Swiss Army knife.

Kiera: A very strange girl who seems to have her head in the clouds most of the time. Reclusive and socially-awkward, but still eager to make friends, she also seems to have a connection with the Unfound that has yet to be discovered. Kiera is the Warrior of the group, savagely attacking and maiming enemies with bloodthirsty abandon.

She carries a kitchen knife.

Shauna: A classmate of the Player, she is cheerful and studious, but tends to keep to herself. As things escalate, though, it starts to seem like she may have more of a stake in the fight than was previously thought... Shauna plays a support role to the main trio, providing situation reports and offering sidequests that can reward you with additional skills.

Maria: The Player's mom. A dedicated parent through-and-through, Maria welcomes the Player's friends as if they were her own kids, giving the trio someone they can always turn to.

Frank: Luke's dad, and Pineshade Town's trusted mechanic. Frank is a rough and hardened type who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and he tries his best to be supportive despite not always understanding everything.

Mysterious Figure: This sinister being appeared in Pineshade Forest just before the Unfound began to make themselves known. What secrets are they hiding?

Gears of Phantasm:Destiny Tailored(ActI)

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 14:35:36 +0000

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1810220/Gears_of_Phantasm_Destiny_TailoredAct_I/

A classic styled JRPG offering a somewhat different approach on how RPGs can be designed.

Uses a customized battle system, (while a prototype & not without its quirks)still evolves basic

front facing battlers to the next Lvl exploiting the build-in engine combat & evented animations.

The Real Time Combat is quite the change of pace from turn based RPG MAKER based games.

However combat has always played second fiddle to exploration & characters with deep story.

Now go fetch these orbs & track down that evil doer before the world comes to a sudden end!

(WARNING READ ONLY) IF INTO DEPRESSING REALITY & WHAT GOES THROUGH MY MIND!

But how much depth does collecting 4 orbs to "save the world & defeat the bad evil doer" have?

What approach could even be possibly taken to try & refresh a formula older than even myself.

Well, building the ground work was the easy part, & completing it is another hurdle all together.

With half finished questlines, dev rooms sitting there unfinished, & dungeons that require work.

I'm left pondering, was this really a game I created for the sole purpose of being sold on steam,

or was it some kind of way of getting a little control back into life from reality of being a shut-in.

Creativity only goes so far, exploration & average NPCs that simply serve their simple function,

doesn't seem to get you quite there to the nostalgic levels of being thrusted in a Fantasy World

as you once had way back as a kid playing all those 2D RPGs for the very first time, what is left.

Two & half years with a good bit of content to offer yet feel it lacking as a void to be completed.

The drive of wanting to make money undermines the whole passion of wanting to game dev...

Just trying to market has torn me away from wanting to make all the additional content I want.

I don't know just ramblings of a dev who feels overly attached with 1st game world to move on.

One dreary day, a girl and her family hit the road to visit her uncle in his new house. Having been mislead to a house far away from town, the family begins to search for any signs of a homeowner. They knock on the door. Nothing. They enter the house. The air tingles- Something changes. They're not where they just were, they're now outside of a worn, cobblestone mansion.

Unbeknownst to the child, she and her family have stumbled into a parallel dimension where human flesh is a commodity and all the citizens are a little... Off.

Character profiles are intentionally vague. More profiles will be added.

Spoiler

Main Character (The Missing Piece)
A quiet child—Too quiet for someone her age. Her only form of communicating is through gestures and her pink stuffed bunny "Nipsy".

Nevire (The Lonely Baron)
Nevire is the cunning, deranged man that lives in the woods far away from town. He can actually be quite charming, but the citizens of Dimension V laugh at how deceptive his looks are to the naïve, even with his sallow skin and deep wrinkles. But not even they, the citizens, are entirely aware of what he is capable of...

Peoria (The Cracked Cook)
Peoria is known for being Nevire's cook, but she isn't quite like the other citizens of Dimension V. She is a disarray of hopelessness and hunger, one that can't live side-by-side with anyone in the world... She's always covered in blood, she smells like rot, and a scar with bitter origins covers her right eye.

Check out Peoria's introduction video!

Alexander and Emilie - The Realtors

Posing as realtors, these strange cousins usher people to from our dimension through Fleshports and into the lunch bags for the hungry citizens of Dimension V. They work in a tall, white, windowless building stationed at the end of the street Burger Blam sits on. They have no qualms about human experimentation, and Emilie is quite interested in the human mind. Alexander is more cut-and-dry with their job and prefers to just get it done, but sometimes he's swayed into Emilie's way of doing things.

Latest version : v1.32

+FEATURES+

Spoiler

ACTIVE CHARACTER SHIFT

You'll play as three different groups throughout the game, and may switch between the three party leaders

when you get a flash message. This feature is optional though, as it gives the player the ability to view

other perspectives that are happening at the same time elsewhere in the Sky-islands. You'll have

a full-risk decision making based on these perspectives.

ELEMANTRA

There are 361 different Elmspheres that can be installed on your Mythbuster device. These spheres

will grant its user with various mantras or abilities that can be used in a battle, or reproduce a specific

mantra that can only be conjured/used by a character proficient in that type of mantra to interact with

objects, or people outside battle.

DEEPER STAT-BUILD

You can build unique stats, such as Leadership, Knowledge, Engineering, etc. You can also do various

things to increase these stats. For example, to train your Leadership, you have to make the right decision

during a mission. As another example, you will need to either read a VT Cards or find Elmshoglyph in

dungeons to increase Knowledge. Your stats are not enhanced through repetitive training, and is only

affected by your actions throughout the gameplay.

DAILY ACTIVITIES & TIME MANAGEMENT

Sleeping at night will restore your AP, and having three meals a day will keep your AP recharge rate optimal.

You'll also find a variety of activities in each city, or academy. Such activities include magic training, doing exams,

ranking duels, attending special events, gardening, part-time jobs or side-missions. Most activities take time,

so, suffice it to say, keep watch on what you're doing, and when!

Feel free to give me your opinions regarding the plot, the characters, difficulty and other things. There's no original music (I can't do it). I've fixed and tweaked a lot of things since last time to make a better experience.

Shups - A Rogue-Like Shoot 'em up Game

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 17:23:23 +0000

A Rogue-Like Shoot 'em up Game

v . 0 . 1 . 1 . 0

The game is in early stage of development and everything seen there is not indicative of the final product.

=============================================

A B O U T

=============================================

Shups is a game in which you're controlling a spaceship and your objective is to survive the endless swarm of enemies. The game challenges players with constantly raising difficulty, which makes enemies more and more aggressive as the time goes to the point, where it becomes unbearable.

Your aid in the endless fight are items, that allow you to raise your parameters indefinitely. Some items will cause various effects to happen and these too, can be stacked for even more mayhem! Aside that, destroying enemy ships grants player experience, which boosts base parameters with each level-up.

The game currently lacks any real goal to achieve and therefore, players are expected to die at some point. The current challenge is to survive as long as possible.

How far will you go?

=============================================

S C R E E N S H O T S

=============================================

Title Screen - someday it will be better lol

A wild rare item has appeared!

LEVEL UP!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!
(Note: Hold TAB to view STATISTICS or toggle with CAPS LOCK)

Woo the game was so kind to throw a legendary item (Firecrackers) at me pretty early.
"Maybe it'll be a good run..."

=============================================

D O W N L O A D

=============================================

PLATFORM: Windows
FILE TYPE: .exe (installer)
ESTIMATED GAME LENGTH: A single good run can go beyond 30 minutes. There's no save, it's rogue-like, duh!

=============================================

These are currently planned features, but things may change in the future.

> PROPER STAGE SYSTEM AND ENDING <
Basically, the goal will be to travel through paths to #ENEMY BASE# and wreck the main boss.
There will be different stages with moving backgrounds and whatsoever.
After each stage, players will be able to choose the next stage from randomly generated paths.
Each stage will have randomized effects, that lower/boost enemy stats and yield less/better loot.

> BOSSES <
Each stage shall end with a boss fight.

> ELITE ENEMIES <
A bigger boi shall spawn once in a while.

> LOCAL AND ONLINE MULTIPLAYER (COOP) <
What's better than one ship? Having two.

> ITEM DISPLAY AND ICONS <
All items you've gathered shall be displayed on screen. And they shall have icons too.

> MORE SHIPS AND WEAPONS <
There will be different ships to choose from, each having different base stats and loadouts.

> MOAR ITENS <
There definitely will be more items in the future.

> AND PERHAPS SOME OTHER CONTENT <
... I can't think of at the moment.

Big Friggin' Magical Adventure!

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 12:16:09 +0000

Hello! I'm Widget Kitty (which is probably going to be a "company name" to release this game and others). I've been playing around with the RPG Maker series since 2001 (in my 30s, I'm getting to be an old gal now!) but recently got serious about it. I'm stuck indoors now for health reasons, might as well take two decades of ideas and make one big game!

My game at the moment is titled "Big Friggin' Magical Adventure", and is a sort of fantasy comedy with several questlines, somewhat open world. it's like Earthbound mixed with Zelda, but presented like an Elder Scrolls game.

Right now mostly just maps and music are done, about 30% of each. Graphics need to be made, along with a battle system, but I'm thinking of putting together a demo for people to try out these puzzles and review the soundtrack so far. I'm making everything myself, and want to keep it that way for the moment, but not sure what will happen down the line.

So here's a few of the "Loot Dungeons" - there will be 50 of these, none that are attached to any quests. They're for gathering and grinding (monsters, chests, and ingredients will level with the player, so the order doesn't matter), thought the king has a hefty reward for anyone who completes all of them. Take a look:

And this is a concept for a final dungeon, in the main quest line. Probably the most complicated dungeon I've ever made! It's the Royal City Clocktower, corrupted into a mess of mechanical pathways by chaotic magic. For now these crystals can stand in for the gears and other stuff that attack you, once I have the graphics done. The minigame toward the end (supposed to be the face of the clock) I'm especially happy with, took a while though! Have a look-see:

Let me know what you think, or if I should do some more videos of gameplay or the soundtrack. Thanks for having a look!

Come Get Your Candy: Black Rock Shooter

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:55:46 +0000

Come Get Your Candy: Black Rock Shooter

Somewhere in the Underworld two girls fight... OVER CANDY!

Draw your katana, load your cannon! It's time to rock!

CGYC:BRS is a small Black Rock Shooter fangame I'm working on.

The game is a silly Zelda clone with very light puzzle elements made with RPG Maker VX Ace and Falcao Pearl ABS.

It's supposed to be my first actual release and it's completed to 45-50% I'd say, and some things are WIP still but will be replaced eventually.

Feedback is appreciated!

If anyone would be willing to help me test the game's design and find bugs, I would really appreciate it!

Just contact me here or on my GameJolt page.

Summer Solstice (need feedback for my A Level Grade)

Tue, 27 Apr 2021 19:21:07 +0000

Hi, so I finished the demo for my current project Summer Solstice about guess what? The Summer Solstice. During last years festival Summer (the main character) 's best friend Spencer got attacked by a demon and now he is possessed and trying to stop you the player from completing the rituals. The rituals take the form of minigames which all have unique game mechanics. There are also random encounter battles and boss fights. The player also gets to explore 5 areas.

I really need feedback for this game though because this project is for my EPQ (extended project qualification) for my A levels and I really want to include user feedback in the project. On the itch.io page where you can download it there is a survey which I have linked for you to complete after you play it.

There are about 3 hours of gameplay and all the graphics are drawn by me

So you playing the game you can have fun and you can also improve some random person's A level grades haha.
