Hello there! I am new and looking to make friends! ^w^ I'd like people to chat with about RPG maker MV, and we can talk about exciting things and progress we are making on our project! >x>!~ Idk. I think it would be fun. O.O Right now I am working on my project, Quest of the feral queen! It's my first time using any RPG maker, and I'm having a lot of fun, so far i've worked through 2 maps of the first level, and now I'm working on a boss battle, and I went a lil ahead and made a town with some events ready to go. What is everyone else working on or brainstorming on?

Debating which short form I prefer for my chosen game name. IOTC or just IC. IC is shorter and easier to say. It's a bit ironic that I think I'm agonising over that more than what I would call the game which was a rather quick inspired choice and more importantly does what it says on the tin! Anyways, I tidied up my notes a bit and here's some background on the world and the plot. I think soon I'll release the list of playable characters. The Tale to be told.... Tobey is a simple squire, a scion of a noble house in the recently assimilated Kingdom of Durst. At present his greatest concern, is that the tasks for his elder cousin, Ser Kristoph are completed on time and in a manner that is satisfactory. Tobey’s greatest love is goofing off in his spare time with his friends; the rich and slightly snobbish Lucia and the down to earth son of a smith Maxwell. Tobey’s memories of life in the capital and the arguments of of his family are almost forgotten, but the arrival of his elder sister Natalia, and his adopted home-town's first Crystal Arc brings back painful memories. The youth’s family and friends are quickly being split into two philosophically opposed camps and his painful past is now his present and future. Tobey and his friends are slowly being drawn into the coming conflict by a serious of tragic events and now they must discover the hidden history of the crystals; the motives of those behind Resonance and the Crystarium. Ultimately they will discover the power and true nature of the Crystals,as well as the nature of the mysterious factions attempting to manipulate, usurp, control or destroy them. The World... The world mostly consists of the two super continents Westeryl and Esteryl. Esteryl is considered a wild, vast untamed place filled with all manner of strange and wonderful creatures. The Cyrstarium has no influence there and it is home to a variety of magical races and creatures, notably elves. Westeryl is for the most part a settled continent and essentially under the control of The Glorious Empire and the Crystarium. The various kingdoms, principalities and duchies had warred for centuries before the Peace of the Crystal Gospel brought harmonious co-existence to the people who live there. The continent contains the city of Malakaia, host to the Crystarium’s central sanctum and Imperial palace; it is considered to be the most beautiful and cultured city in the world. The devastated lands where the Magoracy of Ventir once stood, their civilization was purged by the Crystarium for lack of faith and only the vanquished remnants still stand as testament their â€former glory.†There is also the tiny island kingdom of Durst, which is home to our protagonist and his friends. On the surface the territories within the empire are united by a class/vassal system supported by the imperial family but with the appearance of a powerful rebel and created by the Crystarium's edict. The creation of a powerful rebel force in the south that now capable of taking on the Crystarium may test the resolve of the empire to remain unified.

I must just say in this first entry: I've never had a blog before! AND! I've never publicly released a game project before, though I have been using RPG make in it's various incarnations for quite a while.I'm hoping that this blog will help me collect my thoughts (via ramblings mostly, sorry!) and share my thoughts and ideas with the community at large. So here's my project for your reading pleasure. Intrigue of the Crystals The Background Virtually the whole of the continent of Westeryl is under the sway of the “Glorious Empire†but why? The empire is home and host to the “Crystarium†once a secret society of learned men and scholars but now a vast and powerful theocracy providing societal, political and religious guidance to the masses within and outside the empires vast borders. The Empire and The Crystarium have used the Crystals to peacefully, (for the most part) absorb almost all of the other countries on the continent. The peoples of whom are even forgiving the odd instances of extreme violence perpetrated towards the enemies of their utopian society, as well as the Crystarium’s complete and utter intolerance towards magic and all magical creatures. The power of the crystals has steadily been unlocked since their discovery five hundred years ago, and now the crystals provide fertile lands for food production, clean drinking water and other basic resources to the masses of people inside the empire’s borders. The Crystarium has spread their benevolent influence and influence through their apostles, sent out to neighbouring kingdoms and even individual towns and cities with “Crystal Arcs†in tow. The refined Crystals working in tandem with the Crystarium’s various initiates including the apostles provide sorely needed aid to the impoverished and vast riches to the greedy and rich. The end result being that cities and towns pledge their allegiance to the Glorious Empire for the safety, security and prosperity that only the Crystarium can provide. The price to pay is simple devotion and undying loyalty to an empire that is vast, powerful, rich and unified. The peoples of the continent found this offer too difficult to resist and have slowly been brought further and further into the fold. The pace is too slow for some and a vast Pilgrim Fleet is being constructed to carry the “Crystal Gospel†to the continent of Esteryl. Their ultimate goal being to bring enlightenment to the peoples of those lands by force if necessary, in order to create a world of eternal peace and plenty. But what if the Glorious Empire is not all it seems? What if the Crystarium is not as benevolent as it appears? What if the Crystals themselves have secrets? Then perchance this world will see the end of an enduring peace before long.... The Resonance rebellion has literally exploded in the Deep South and the lives of the Ledwyn family are about to be changed forever. Their story is but one strand of a tapestry of intrigue that spans centuries and is only the tip of the iceberg in a conflict that will shake the foundations of their world.
