Glacia: Chapter One v2.2 (Completed)

[captainregal]

Hey there! Glacia is a project that has been in development for more than 3 years now. We have released the final version of Chapter One, and we are posting this here to draw more attention to it. If you have not previously installed the RPG Maker VX RTP (Or don't know what that is), download the Glacia: Chapter One v2.2 RTP Included version of the game below. If you download the regular version, you will also have to download and install the RPG Maker VX RTP from the RTP Standalone link below.

Glacia is a retro/old-school JRPG style game following an epic tale of kingdoms, magic, and betrayal. This is the first of five chapters.

Glacia was initially conceived and developed by CaptainRegal in September of 2008. Since then, several people have assisted with parts of Glacia's design, and the game is currently being developed by CaptainRegal and DarkBox.

We've estimated Chapter One to provide between 5 and 7 hours of game play, and we'll be keeping it around this same amount of game play for every chapter that we release hereafter.

Rain Garshon, the naive young prince of Glacia, awakens to find his wife strangely absent from their bed. Unbeknownst to him, this marks the beginning of nation-shaking treachery that will turn his once blessed life to utter ruin in a single night.

This perpetrator of this betrayal, none other than his very own wife Lailah Garshon, has made it impossible for Rain to return to his kingdom. Now, Rain must travel the world of Elesca searching for proof of his lineage.

However, what he finds is something sinister waiting in his family tree. Before Rain can take back Glacia's throne, he must first discover if it was ever his to begin with.

Thank you! I would love to hear any feedback that you have in regards to the game. Make sure you remember to make a 'Save' folder in the main directory... :/

I actually think I know a solution to fixing that save folder problem if you have a moment. Just PM me when you get the chance with the save script and I will see if I can fix that for you.

I've sent you a PM.

I am glad to be of assistance in fixing that save folder problem. Although I did not fix it directly, I am glad I could point out the right direction. I believe this game should have a lot more credit where it is due instead of people not playing it because you have to add a folder.

Another thing you need to fix: you need to make it so the player does not have to install RMVX RTP.

We already have a version that works without RTP. Here is a link to it: http://rpgmaker.net/games/920/downloads/3203/

Ah, thanks! Although I did install the RTP just to play your game, I think that others would find it difficult to do so if they do not want to spend the time.
