A new site will be posted on my own site (cereus-games.com/Sabo)
However, the content management script is screwing me up currently.

In the world of Sabo...
Many years ago...
The Adventuring School was created by a hero, whose name was forgotten. It provided the best education on killing monsters, solving difficult block-pushing puzzles, and taking different elective courses of magic, assasination,and so forth. Ever since, the Adventuring School has been a destination for young, aspiring adventurers. Once students graduate from this academy, they are given a Prophecy from the Hall of Mysteries. Most of the time they don't turn out to be true, but when they do, the world can quickly be saved and restored back to its original, peaceful state.

After leaving home, a young Sabo travels to Adventuring School with high hopes of becoming the world's next greatest adventurer. When he arrives he learns that he is not qualified to enter Adventuring School. Dejected, he camps for the night a small ways away from the school.

During the night, however, he hears the sound of battle and rushes to investigate. A large group of unidentified soldiers are destroying the school. Sabo, without thinking, rushes into the blaze, saving a person from it, who has serious burns. As they rush out the school collapses after them. They escape and hide in the nearby Boreal Forest.

The next morning, the two would-be adventurers set off, desparate for answers, to the Council of Heroes. But little do they know that dark forces are conspiring against them, and their trials now are only the beginning...

Reference Picture of Sabo
Sabo is a kind-hearted young man who, at the beginning of the game, leaves his home in search of adventure. But first, he must visit the legendary Adventurer's School.

Sabo's Map Tool is the Bomb.

Milli is an extremely skilled ninja (a typical overachiever) in the Adventurer's academy. She joins Sabo after the school is burnt down and they go off in search of the Council of Heroes.

Milli's Map Tool is the Sword.

Nameless recently got in a rather big fight with his brother (a much more skilled student of magic) and has lost his memory. He doesn't even know his own name! (He joins up late in the story however, so what causes him to join the party is a surprise)

Nameless's Map Tool is the Boomerang.

Dots are towns, glowing dot is the adventuring academy, star is the council of heroes. Subject to change.

  • Completely custom soundtrack
  • Non-RTP graphics
  • Dynamic Map Tools are used in the map to solve puzzles

What we've all been waiting for!
Menu System
This is a repost (except for the refined head sprite)

I know this post is lacking of content, but I have an excuse! ^_^ I am changing my tilesets for about the third time in this process. They are final though. Expect more screens soon!

Enjoy!

It has been looking good! Keep up the good work, Djzalzer! It has a refreshing story, and some interesting characters. I hope to see this one finished. I expect a demo sometime soon..

^Hopefully will be scripted. *shrugs*

Please note that the messages are an animated system. (Events of course)

Soon will be posted battle screen mockups, as soon as I figure out what on Earth to use as battle backgrounds.
 
DEMO RELEASE

Before downloading the demo release, please read the following.

It would be appreciated if any bugs found can be reported! Please! Post here or PM me the errors.

Known Errors
-In battle, several animations are not done and appear whacked out. Please wait for the next release
for this fix.
-In battle, Sabo is fighting himself (backwards) for both the soldier and Golemn scenes.
-At the beginning, nothing plays (It just shows Sabo saying how he wants to get to the adventuring school. This is because the cutscene at the beginning uses pictures (Which aren't done yet) and the cutscene just after Milli is rescued from the burning Adventuring School also uses pictures, it isn't available yet.
-The Adventuring School is supposed to be burning, but there isn't any flames. I'll have to remedy this.
-The RTP graphics will be replaced with custom graphics.

Not-FAQ but questions that I know people are going to ask
-I thought this game was supposed to be based around puzzles, but there aren't any tough puzzles in this demo.
-Answer: As this is only the first 15 minutes of gameplay, all the puzzles are going to be easy. About 25-30 mins. in, they will start to get tougher.

Oh my god woot! That reminds me, I'll work on making some map tools for ya now.

Edit: The font doesnt work, and you can walk on every tile in the map.
 
Still, the font wont work. I even went and installed 04b_03 and still it didnt show up. Did you set it to a different font?
 
I can't replicate the error. It must be on your end, because no matter how hard I try short of uninstalling the font I can't make it -not- work. I kept the same font.

However, worry not. Next release will probably use bitmap fonts.
