-Seth in his unleashed form is controllable now, he is also able to use unique skills
-Seth won't be able to summon Ammit anymore
-Isis' Magick+ skill "TP Transfer" isn't available anymore
-Isis has a new skill called "Teleport", which allows the player to teleport to important places such as the villages and the main temples, to reduce unnecessary and annoying paths

-It is possible to upgrade weapons and armor to +25 in the second village
-It is also possible to upgrade skills in the second village (standard -> II -> III)
-It is possible to increase Life- and Magick Points with rare and mostly very hard to find new items... have fun searching them

-Better language (thanks to Chaikster, a native English speaker who did proofreading)
-Skill description contains damage formula now
-Temple of Osiris is not as dark as in the first demo anymore (opacity from 185 to 135)
-Equipment upgrading system is a little bit faster now
-Enemies give a little bit more reward (experience and money)

-Re has another voice now (Simon "Iron Croc" DLSea)
-Isis has a voice now, too (Crazy_Leen)

-Some small bugs were eradicated
-Some smaller "cosmetic improvement"

-The length of the demo of course

 

 

Story:

Since the beginning of time,
good has clashed with evil.

In order to rise again as the mighty sun itself,

Re must solve a dangerous quest; an ordeal

through the Duat which lasts 12 hours.

In the 7th hour, chaos incarnate itself appears,
the great serpent known as Apophis
attempts to curtail Re's objective.

Since the beginning of time,
Apophis gets decapitated every night.

Since the beginning of time,
Apophis reincarnates to try it again.

But one day, Apophis broke this eternal loop
land went to  Earth, to spread chaos aground.

 

With his dark powers he manages to control three mighty gods (Osiris, Sobek and Heh). Also he controls the most powerfull human being, the Pharao. Under Apophis' influence, the Pharao plans to start a war to gain control over the whole continent. Every fallen man, woman and even child whose dead is caused by Apophis' influence will make him stronger. After Re knows what Apophis did, he decides to get down to earth, together wih Seth. Down there, they want to challenge the evil serpent. This will be a dangerous quest, because on the earth even gods can die and won't even be reborn, like they do in their own world which is fullfilled with mysterious magical powers. Re and Seth first have to defeat the three gods, which are controled by Apophis. This will make him weaker and will break the seal, which lays over the Pharao. When those tasks are done, they can challenge Apophis himself... if they manage to find him.

 

Characters:

 

Re:

Re is the most powerfull god. His strenght are fire based spells. Normally he rises as the sun itself every day. But in order to safe the humans and all living beings on earth, he has to go down to earth in his humanoid form.

 

Seth:

Seth is the guardian of an demonic world, called "Duat". In battles he can open the gate to Duat and let demons attack his enemies. Also he is known as god of tempest and so he is able to summon lightning. From the beginning of time he is a helpmate of Re.

 

Isis:

Isis is a powerfull magician who uses water (and ice) based spells. Also she is able to use healing spells. Her brother, Osiris is one the three gods who are controlled by Apophis. So she teams up with Re.

 

Apophis:

Apophis is a giant serpent who tries to defeat Re everytime, before he rises as the sun itself. But since he exists, he couldn't manage to do it. Instead he got killed every single time. He has enough of it and so he decides to go down to earth to gain some power. He managed to get control over three gods and also to get control over the Pharao. Every being which will be killed because of Apophis' influence (the pharao plans to start a war) will make him stronger.

 

Gameplay: The main goal is to free the three controled gods. In order to manage that, the player has to visit their temples. Those are full of puzzles which have to be solved. Besides those temples, there also are optional dungeons, where you can find special items, skills and so on.Of course there will be battles, too. The enemies will not be seen on the map and the battles will be random. BUT the player is able to set the encounter rate to 0 (when you have trained enough and just want to explore the maps).

 Features:
-Most of the graphics are made by myself (unused graphics).

-Entire music is done by J. Stewart (most of it is custom music written for the game).

-Normal dialouges as speech bubbles.
-Weapon-Upgrade-System:
From every enemy you defeat, you get his Ba (soul). With these Bas you can improve your weapons and armor.
-Skit System:
Inspired by the "Tales of..." series. Skits are optional group intern conversations about different topics. The idea behind those conversations is to learn more about the characters and to give them more depth.

Nice to see you bringing the game over here, I really do like the custom tiles you've used, it has such a lovely clean feel to it!

PS: Can someone move this topic to The Gaming Lounge ?

[TheoAllen 830]

Moved to gaming lounge. Good looking game

[Diaeitsch 9]

Thanks for moving it. Also thanks for your comment.

Hello community,

Jonnie91 still does a great job on the soundtrack of the game.
Just listen to the (subtle) overworld-theme.

By the way: I search someone, who would like to help me with the dialogues (approximately 3500 words).

Also I search a female community member, who gives Isis her voice. It's just one sentence that has to be recorded.

 

So, if you want to be a part of the game and named in the credits, just let me know.

*Cough* *cough* Very dusty here.

I just want to show you one of the new screenhots.

Do you know, who this woman could be?

Well, the attack she uses and one of her "accessoires" give a good hint.

She will be encounterable in the full version, which most likely will be released next year.

The second demo version will be released on 4th November this year.

That looks unique and I like when a game made in RPG maker has something uncommon like art / chars / tiles / gameplay etc..

It's not that I hate standard resources, but seeing one thing many times in every game doesn't look good.

Your game brings so many new stuff and it looks great!

A lot of work has been put into it, no doubt. Good luck with that game!

Hello community,

after I have started working on the game more than two years ago, I can proudly announce the release of the second demo version! Since the first one was released on 1^st January this year, much has changed. I want to thank everyone who has played the first one and gave some feedback.

 

I hope that you will give me some feedback again, because this is the last demo before the full version will be released next year.

 

I hope that you enjoy the game.
