In the world of Araete, where the land surrounds the skies, the Gods are about to fall... and the world with them.
As much as I'd LOVE to write perfectly, I can't anymore. I'm slightly lysdexic so I tend to write things sdrawkcab.
If you didn't get that, it was a joke based on the harsh reality of my poor eyesight. -adjusts her reading glasses-

I have done some of the artwork I had been working on for the past couple of days, like the logo just above, new title screen and some Maron artwork. Also have been working on the next town, ensuring all my switches and triggers work correctly.
I have been making NPC characters, side quests, new main characters and some secondary characters that will appear and help you throughout the story. I shall make a side quest list, like the things that appear in the Quest Journal.
The Story Summary: Welcome to the world of Araete, a place where the continents are bound together with strong magic, allowing them to wrap the skies within their center.
When Maron wakes up one day in the home of the Temmith Plains Town’s village elder, without her memory, she made it her life goal to find out about herself.
However, the world suddenly begins falling apart, Maron believes that she can do something about it. Join in an adventure to discover the reason to the collapsing continents, the answer to all the questions left unanswered by the Guardians of Aries, and Maron’s true self.
Critiques are encouraged although I also enjoy smaller comments. Feedback is feedback after all!
Just don't go breaking the forum rules or anything, I would rather not encourage such things.
Enjoy my story! :blush:

Long ago, the world of Araete was born, created by the Guardians, the Angel, the Fairy and the God and Godess. They seperated the continents, and bound them together in a floating suspension, wrapped around the sky, with magik, sealed in crystals and created by the Guardians.
Should this magik ever fall apart, dispell, or be stolen, chances are the world of Araete would fall apart and it's continents would crumble, fall into the sky, and many people would be lost. To prevent this from happening, the Guardians began to guard the crystals for the remainder of eternity, even after they have passed onto a higher plane of existance. However, the Guardian Angel, felt that it would be safe to have a failsafe plan, in case something catastrophic were to occur. She sent the Fairy to deliver the message to the God and Godess, for their agreement, and then to the Guardians of Araete. Once approved, together, they created something known as the Power of Aries, a special power that only a select few could use, a magic beyond that of normal magic users.
If ever something should happen, the Caller of Aries, one who would use the power of Aries, would come and stop it, and keep the world safe. But, sadly, that Power was soon long lost and forgotten. The Guardians pulled aside all legendary scrolls telling of Aries until the day of a new hero would come.
Present time, a select few with the Power of Aries were found, but unable to use it. Should the world fall into a crisis, not even the Guardians, nor a user of Aries, could stop it. Only time can tell what will happen to Araete...

I have split up the screenshots into individual sections per chapter. I will try my best to keep out spoilers from the main story line and just show off a few things. Of course, I probably won't show much from later chapters.

Just because I felt like sharing, here is a list of all the names of the side quests. This won't include things like location, how to complete it, etc. Just the list of the titles. Use this list to see if you got them all! The list is in order from beginning to end, mostly at least.
-Herb Harvesting
-Kiram's Cloak
-Home for Lunch
-Lost Puppy
-Groceries!

For those who are interested, Demo#1 is available. It contains the prologue chapter and lasts for approximately 45-50 minutes, give or take 15 minutes for those who REALLY check everything. (It takes me about 50 minutes to check it all...)
The file size is 38mb because it contains the music and such that I plan on using at a later time in the game.
IN ORDER TO PLAY THE DEMO, YOU HAVE TO INSTALL THE FONT THAT COMES WITH IT! (Scriptina)
OTHERWISE THE TITLE SCREEN WILL BE BLANK!
Demo #1 Here --> http://www.mediafire.com/?dgu1jmgbjjo
Side note: I plan on releasing "patches" for longer demos, so even if you keep a save file, in the newer future demos you'll be able to continue where you left off from, unless I add another script but right now that's unlikely. The 'patches" will just be the newer updated content, and not ALL the music, graphics and things over again.

Q: Is there a release date for the final version?
A: I'm not entirely sure yet, but for now, I'm aiming for 2009. Frequent updates will be added on here as
soon as something of importance happens.
Q: The demo isn't working?
A: DO you have the RTP package?
Q: I don't see anything on the title screen! Help!
A: Have you installed the font that was included with the demo of the game? Because it's required.
Q: Did you know that "---" is misspelled?
A: Very good of you to point out my reading problems.
Q: When will you update the demo?
A: When my health and real life allows me to do such things. -coughs-
