Fate of Mystria - A (free!) Traditional Fantasy RPG (In Progress)

[jbxstudios 3]

(Due to one reference to tobacco-usage and one brief reference to sex; other than that, it's pretty much PG).

 

^​Game Title: Fate of Mystria (free to play)

 

Abstract: Catruya Auroran, a young innkeeper, visits her boyfriend, Xhalite Elza, in the countryside of Nungia after months of not seeing him. After getting the approval of Xha's father, they agree to move to the large city of Port Cyros and get married. Unfortunately, Fate had other, far greater plans...
Genre: Fantasy/RPG
Game Progression: The game has just begun. I intend to make it pretty long. It'll be at least 6mo-1yr before it is complete (estimated).
Recruitment: N/A at this time

Average Demo Time: 20-30 minutes long.

Story / Setting / Purpose:
Fate of Mystria is set in the medieval fantasy realm of Mystria (Year 1106 of the 4th Age). It features four main characters: Catruya Auroran, Xhalite Elza, Xate Elza, and Tiel Kiri. They were brought together by Fate to fulfill their destiny- to become the reincarnations of the "White Wizards."

The White Wizards were the First Mystrians. When they left the World after the First Age, discord soon followed. In the Second Age, turmoil rocked the landscape, as warring nations and corrupt men took control of the Birthground (Hallovania - where the White Wizards came into the world). This land, in the Third Age, after the conflicts stopped, was taken over by Zyaji Dakbrude for the last part of the 3rd Age. They say that the (now godhead of a relatively new religion) Queen of the Alhari slew him in the last battle of the Third Age, with her dying in the process and becoming a goddess- supposedly.

Dark forces gather now in the land once known as Hallovania (now it is a territory called Yovania) that seek to cover the realm in eternal Night. The Sixth Year of the War between Nungia and Yovania has come. The once allied state of Fyera has turned on the Nungians with the election of their new chancellor. Now, Nungia fights a war on two fronts: Yovania to the West, Fyera to the North. Tiagor, the Island-Nation East of the coast of Nungia, has not yet made a move in the War. 

 

Our Heroes inevitably get dragged into this conflict as Fate has willed it...

This is my first MV Project! I hope to learn a lot over the course of working on it! Also, yes, it is 100% free to play. This is not how I make money, so I am glad to make it free!

<removed the link for establishing a setup.exe; I'm not familiar with MV's EULA but it seems like the kind of thing that would go against it. We're not really into offsite linking anyways but I guess there's no harm in the others>

? I had no idea that was a problem!

Yeah, its fine to create things within the software (ie. scripts/plugins) but things that affect the software itself (changing the taskbar icon is a popular one, for example) are not looked on favourably. Its been a long time since I've read the VXA EULA tbh and, like said, I've not read MV's but that's the general vibe I remember. Better safe than sorry in these kinds of situations.

Perhaps I should provide a .zip instead? I mean, I went to the effort to make a setup file because I thought it'd be slightly easier for the gamer.
