A few centuries ago there was a ferocious war between two great kingdoms; The city of Anthropia to the west, and the city of Latania, to the east. Many soldiers were dying... their cold blood was on the grass. After countless years, the war was settled with a treaty. They named it the Treaty of Peace; the treaty was signed on March 07, 1959. Both Kingdoms thought they would remain this way in a time of peace. They were sorely mistaken. The great King Panthron, King of Latania, was found dead in his bed on December 16, 1959; 7 months after the Treaty was signed. Blood was all over the sheets, and there was a knife in his gut. The Latanians were in a great depression. Who could have possible done it, the Latanians wondered. The only Kingdom the Latanians would have suspected to do it was the Anthropians; mainly because of the great ordeal that they had. So, the Latanians proposed another war against Anthropia, leading to the second Kingdon War. The law in Latania states that, “If his majesty in charge has been found dead, the oldest son must be heir to the throne. Now, the King's oldest son, Andre, has to take the Throne. The young boy, however, has had no special teaching of being a King, so he does not know how to run the Palace, much less the Kingdom. But, luckily he has his advisors. So, the thought of another war is atrocious. Why he was not taught of this is because his father never concentrated on his boy being heir to the throne. When Andre was younger, he was trained to become a skilled Swordsman.

Anthropia’s a beautiful city. With a walled fortress with tall towers guarding it's large stone crafted gateway; with bars of the finest iron plaguing its entranceway. With a dark king residing within the acutely detailed keep.

Latania, on the other hand, is a more royal Kingdom. With it’s towers standing tall, with green trees growing around the area. And a most beautiful castle, in which the king resides.


However, someone from Latania states that they could have an idea of who the killer may be. Andre, having heard of this, goes around town looking for who this man may be. After a few days, he has found the man. The man states he is an old friend of Panthron. He says his name is Genron, though Andre is not sure he beleives him. Andre acquires some Information about his father's past. Though, after acquiring this information, Genron requests for a favor from Andre. Andre must go retreive Genron the Apostolica Arcana, which is a book of unkown contents. Andre goes to retreive the book for him, and when he returns, he has been notified that the city of Anthropia has been completely destroyed. Though, it wasn't Latania who caused the destruction. Andre searches for Genron, but can't seem to find him. He has asked some people, but they don't know what he's talking about. Andre could not just sit there and let this atrocities happen. So, he informs the advisors and the Guards that he will return later, so they should guard the palace. Andre takes the book with him, and uses the knowledge of his father's past to find out who killed the king. But, he must also find out what happened Anthropia as well. So, he sets out to find out what has happened. But, his adventure turns out to be deeper than imagined, as he finds out the history of not just Anthropia's dissapearance, but his generation as well

DEMO
 
About damn time!
I still have a version of the demo on my FTP if you need. If you have a new version you want me to upload just holler.

I'm glad you've finally got enough interest in your game to get back into it. Good job D Block!
 
Give me the link to that one for now, J Street. I won't post a new Demo until I fully complete the next one, which is in, by the way, production.
 
Just a small Update and Bump. No, AE has NOT died. I'm still working on it. A sa matter of fact, the next Demo is coming up early April. I'm aiming for April 9th, but I'll see what happens. There has been a variety of updates to this new demo, including:

-All new Items and Skills.
-ATB and Advanced Targetting Script included. (thanks to Trickster.)
-All new music composed by me.
-A CMS based off of the Final Fantasy 9 CMS. (Script by Trickster)
-Implemented the UMS instead of the AMS.
-Changed the Dialogue a bit.
-And some other stuff.

Be on the Look out for the next Demo! I think the running time of it might by an hour or so. I might have some screenshots tomorrow, as well.
