Story
On the continent of Lordinca, the mainland and islands are split up into four territories for each Clan - Twilight, Ember, Aqua, and Swords. They disputed over land for centuries. Many lives were lost until they had finally agreed on them. All four of them soon set up two other cities - Emerald City(named for the Emerald Ocean) and Island City. They would go there if they had any conflict. Soon, out of nowhere, the Swords Clan suddenly gained strength. Their people were stronger. They knew very advanced techniques. And as the king of Swords had passed away, a new king, hungry for power, invades the Twilight Clan.
For the people of Twilight, hope was lost. Until, a prophet comes telling the King and Queen "Twelve heroes will come and stop those Swords!" And so, our protagonist, Edgar, in his home waiting for his father to return. After about four minutes he comes home, the Swords launch an attack on Edgar's town. That battle changed Edgar's life... Edgar's father was captured by the Swords. However, Edgar will soon realize that the Swords are not his true enemy...

Spoiler: Screenshots

Actually, as a Photoshop idiot, I think this one pretty good. It's the title screen

An example of my difficulty system. Easy is well, easier!

This is actually different now, but it's a long weekend xD.

Midnight Village.

It's a house in Midnight Village. There used to be doors, but the graphics kind of screwed up.

Better run through this map.

Those maps in your screenshots look really Secret of Mana-ey, I like it, though I'm not sure about how I feel about "fun and annoying." That isn't an Obligatory Out-Of-Genre Stealth Section, is it?

v Basically, "are you dodging and hiding from guards in a game that isn't a stealth puzzle game by definition"

 

[Lazer Kirby]

Uh no, you are not hiding from the guards but trying to make it through alive.

I like what you got so far, the scenery on the maps do look pretty good. But i got a question for you, on the screenshots you have the display on the upperleft for the hp and mp, did you draw these yourself or was it a script? I really wanna learn how you can take a picture file and put it on display like that. but i hope to see more, do you have any character sketches?

 

[Lazer Kirby]

The HP and SP HUD is a script.

And I'm not good at sketching/drawing, so I don't have any for you. Sorry.

 

[friend]

its Blizz ABS script actually...

 

[Lazer Kirby]

Yeah, it's BlizzABS. I have that stated in the "features" section.

 

[Lazer Kirby]

Demo's been released.
EDIT:
Apparently, I've forgotten to include instructions on how to install the font!
For Windows XP:
Go to C:/(or whatever letter it is)XP/Font
Place the "Spirit Medium" Font in there.

For Windows Vista:
Right click on the Font
Click "Install"

Mac - Sorry, I don't this...

 

[GreenGreen]

demo doesn't work for me. Error cant find graphics/picture/pic_1

 

[Lazer Kirby]

CRAP

Uploading new one soon... ended up I deleted that graphic from the demo rather than the main project X_X

EDIT uploaded try new demo

 

[GreenGreen]

In the village after the soldiers, couldn't leave one of the houses to the southeast of city due to lack of teleport event, and couldn't seem to complete John's training.

 

[Lazer Kirby]

Lack of teleport event? I just checked that, and there's a teleport event for that...

And yeah, I forgot to make a switch turn on

I must've been doing homework >_>

I'll fix that soon.

EDIT: Download Patch here. Then put it in the "Data" folder. That should clear things up.

Based on your screenshots your mapping is terrible.

You're using the grass with outter dirt autotile wrong and everything is too straight and symmetrical. Those lilypads don't belong on the water.

 

[Lazer Kirby]

Oh, I know why.

Those screenshots aren't updated yet.

and how is it straight and symmetrical? Why don't the lilypads belong on the water? You're not giving me constructive critisim. Well, you sort of are, but you're just saying something's wrong and you never give why it's wrong.

And plus, are you generalizing on one screenshot?

 

[obsorber]

The maps look great but I wonder how your battlesystem looks like?

 

[Lazer Kirby]

Battlesystem is an ABS(action battle system) so you attack on screen so it's like Legend of Zelda-ish.

 

[pandemikk]

Oh, I know why.

Those screenshots aren't updated yet.

And plus, are you generalizing on one screenshot?

As in you have large boxes of weeds and paths. Your interior rooms are much too big. The lily pads just don't look right. It's a common mistake people make but they're not really designed to be on water. I'm looking at all of your screenys.

Also, it seems you're overlapping your tree shadows on 2 layers, this is creating a darker non-translucent shadow.

Oh yeah, this is a really old screenshot. In the old one, the logo is different and the tree shadows aren't transparent.
Also I don't see boxes of dirt paths and weeds. They're not boxes.

In all the mapping tutorials, they put lily pads in the water ._. I guess they do kind of look wrong in the water.
I was also going to work on making the interior a bit smaller since someone else already pointed out the interior was a bit empty.

I'll try to get better screens tomorrow.

Demo removed temporarily

There's been too many bugs probably because I didn't have enough time to test before the 22nd came... so I decided to remove it and re upload a fixed, bug-free version later.

 

[Lazer Kirby]

I added a poll. Should I release a demo for Chap. 1 too?
