The king is dying and the only heir left to him is a distant cousin, Lord Prince Jackle, whom no one particularly likes. Prince Jackle orders a pre-coronation ceremony to assert his place upon the throne. As he is holding his ceremony the king dies, and when he dies the enchanted Wall of Laws (a wall that holds the laws of the kings upon it) crumbles to the ground announcing to all those who are in attendance that the dynasty has ended and the competition for the throne called King's Quest has begun. The player gets to pick from five different characters. Each character comes with their own storyline and abilities.
The five characters:
Sara is a soldier in the King's Army. Her father was a legend within the army, but died when the former prince died. Choosing to follow in her father's footsteps, Sara is ordered to attend the pre coronation ceremony along with several others to represent the King's Army. When the Wall collapses she is ordered to go to Roltose to warn the people there about the change of dynasty. She chooses to compete in the King's Quest after she discovers what has happened to Roltose.
Jay is a freelancer, in that he is entirely self trained. He awakens from a nap. At his mother's demands, he is not to attend the pre coronation ceremony. He still goes to take a walk, upon getting home however, he hears someone scream, and decides to take a look into it. Although he makes a valiant effort in trying to help her he ends up getting knocked out and thrown in prison. Since all of the prisoners are to attend the ceremony, Jay goes anyways. He considers the option of competing in the King's Quest, but ultimately decides to do so upon reaching Roltose.
Ralia is a mage. She comes to City to visit with her old guardian, Lord Vorone. Lord Vorone is an eccentric lord who works with the peasantry. Jackle orders Vorone to attend, and Vorone asks Ralia to go in his stead. She chooses to compete in the King's Quest simply because she can, and makes her way to Roltose where the people hold the key for her to leave the Country.
Fallo is a cleric. He is assigned to attend the pre coronation ceremony along with several other clerics to represent the church. After the Wall collapses he reports to his superior where a peasant says he would make a good King. Fallo declines the offer, and chooses to go to bed. He is however awakened by an overzealous cleric named Kali who pushes him into attending the King's Quest. They head to Roltose to find the means of leaving the Country.
Estelle is a half-elf. She was born and raised in Country, and has recently gotten a house to call her own. Jackle orders Estelle to attend the ceremony because of her difference as she is the only half-elf in all of City. After the Wall collapses she chooses to undertake the Queen's Quest simply because she can. Due to her Elven blood she is skilled in the bow and arrow.
This game is my first so it is made almost completely to the template of RPG Maker XP. There is no changing to the script in anyway. However, if this is of any use to people of interest, King's Quest, offers a variety of "hunting grounds" or "random battle areas" where the player may level up at their discretion.
Here is a demo of what the game is about. You will need the RTP for this. Warning, I do not know if the saves of the Demo are transferable to the final product when it comes out.

I'll be waiting for feedback...or not....I'm hoping for some anyway.
