A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
Hello everyone! This is my first released game with RMXP. Here's a little information
of me and the game making:
For almost 3 years I wanted to create a game. When I discovered a program named RPG MAKER 2003 my dream came true.
I created my game, called Valykarie. Not a great game, it didn’t have minigames, a very interesting story, cool characters, a massive world to explore or sidequests. I didn’t release it to the public because I stole many things from other games.
It took me 2 months to finish making the game; it only lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes.
When I finished it, I started the second part, it was named, Valykarie II: Eternal Heavens.
I never finished it; I only made the maps and animations. I got bored of RPG MAKER 2003. But one day I was navigating on the internet and I found the newest version of the RPG MAKER, the RPG MAKER XP.
I downloaded it, and it was awesome. I started making a game with it, I was very happy with the program, it had all the things I ever wanted in the RPG MAKER 2003, 3D battle animations, better graphics, better menu, and it included a font type.
The only downside was the boring battlesystem. I loved RPG MAKER 2003’s battlesystem; it was active time and quick. The one in RPG MAKER XP was classic random turn.
When I was in the middle of my game I found out some very good things called scripts.
These babies add very cool things to the program like new battlesystems, minigames, and alternative menus.
So I started another game using a different battlesystem and a menu system. As I progressed in my game I realized that the battlesystem script didn’t let me add other cool scripts such as minigames!
So I had to leave the project and start a new one. And that happened; I started a new game this time very confident of myself, I asked help to a friend. I added a very fun battlesystem, various minigames, cool characters and lots of features.
This game was named Ancient Sun. Our new game took long time to finish it; we started it on January 14, 2006 and kept working until April 2006.
My team is just a friend and me. My friend gives me the ideas and I make them true in the game.
That’s all I have to say and I hope you like the game as much as we enjoyed making it.

INTRODUCTION
I was a hunter. I lived just aside of the great Port Arthoor. I loved my life, it was so calm. I didn't needed a job, I didn't had to pay taxes,etc. I only hunted my food, Oh my god! I remember I loved those wild boars and big birds. Everything was perfect, until... One day all the animals moved to another place, don't ask me why.
All of them? Yes, all of them. So that left me lonely and hungry. My life began to shatter when I needed money.
Why? Because I couldn't buy food from the shop! So I was surviving with mushrooms, herbs, etc.
One day the mayor came and gave me 5000 gildas. Wow, why did that happen? I don't know, he was happy or something. Anyway thanks to that I restored my health a little bit. But after a month the mayor charged me those 5000 gildas. I panicked. I didn't knew what to do, I felt horrible. Some days passed and I came with this stupid plan, I tought it would be easy, to rob a bank. How cool! Yeah, I know it sounded cool but thanks to that, I'm here. I didn't know what I was doing until the day I did it.
And what happened? , keep telling me! Oh! Police caught me. Oh no! And then? Well I escaped and left my beautiful city. I jumped into a cargo ship and left those police-idiots pissed off! Wow! And then? The ship was aiming to land on a harbor. Days passed and we didn't reach it, I knew something was bad.
Some days after the ship crashed and I survived. I woke up in a beach, my head was all foggy. I walked into some woods and kept walking until I reached this village. Hmmm... Interesting story...
======================================================================O
STORY
It maybe sound stupid but it's true. Our world was made by 6 sacred jewels, Arphalia, Oombreua, Iddisha, Zelfinna, Abadunz and Melfiria. The gods wanted to have "things" that loved and served them. So they created first a new world with the power of these jewels. After this one of the gods, Geosgaennio created the water, then Fulsthema created the mountains, after him, Dariparlo created the plants, trees, etc. Following the creations, Huinperotzli created the sky. Finally the father of the gods, Xeus, created the humans.
The first humans were dummies, they were made with mud and rocks. They didn't had feelings. Xeus tried again, the second ones were made with wood and water, but it was a mess. The humans attacked themselves. Frustrated, Xeus tried one more time, this time he made them with water, air, fire, earth, ice, thunder, light and darkness. These humans were perfect, Xeus had made it. 35,000 years have passed since that event. Now humans have their own cities and have technology. The world is at its best. There are some people that want to learn more about the world's past. And thanks to that, they discovered how to get the 6 jewels from their respective places. So a big complot is being made by these people. Their mission, obtain the 6 jewels and bring back the ANCIENT SUN (grants 3 wishes). Returning to our hero, he is thrown into this complot by a strange man. After knwing the truth about the 6 jewels, the hero embarks on the journey to get them.
But he is not alone in this adventure, many people are looking for them so take this adventure as a race, a race to get the 6 jewels. So you'll compete with others for the jewels. Your party is not alone in the world of Ancient Sun!
