The Secret of Arcrind

The Secret of Arcrind



Alright bros and brodettes, you may know who I am. If you don't, you should, because I've been around RPG Maker a lot longer than you, guaranteed. Just because I haven't been on this particularly site the whole time means nothing (HBGames is my old place of residence). And, I'm a beast. And I present to you...my new project.


Some Story Up in Here
Fresh outta school, our hero, Devan, and his little female friend head north to get the hell out of there. On the way down the path that's riddled with angry rabbits and fucking eagles, they encounter a WALL OF VINES that happens to have a doorway. They can't get around, so naturally they enter the wall of vines...and they then proceed to get TRAPPED in the wall of vines...along with approximately 20 other people. Turns out this school, called the Arcrind Academy, has been trapping all students that are trying to leave inside this catacomb of vines. That's messed up. You'd think these people could escape, but the exit is blocked by this BAMF monster that kills everything that tries to get out. Awesome.

So here's Devan and his friend, Laura. They team up with the chick that leads this colony of people in the vines, and they kill that bastard creature, and they get out of this catacomb of vines. What do they do next? They're out for revenge. Nobody fucks with them, and Arcrind Academy just fucked with them. It's time to figure out what the hell this school is doing, but to do that...Devan and his party have to travel across the world to recruit a team of elite badasses to take on the Academy. It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

Side note: Despite my comedic synopsis, the plot of this game is still quite serious.

Y'all Wanna Hear About Some Characters?
Well, I've never been much about having a character section in my game threads. Play the game and figure out their personalities, jackass.

Dude, Where's My FEATURES?
Feature #1: You will be playing a game made by me, therefore it has been graced with my incomprehensible awesomeness.
Feature #2: I am using a SIDE VIEW BATTLE SYSTEM, therefore, my game is EXTREMELY UNIQUE.
Feature #3: Character customization out the whazzo, cause that's how I like things done. Every character can have his stats adjusted, every character can learn every skill, and every character can equip ANY piece of equipment.
Feature #4: A butt ton and a half of available party members. Actually, there will be eight to choose from at the end. You'll be picking for a party of 4.
Feature #5: MONSTER BOOKS
Feature #6: RALPH is in the game on various occasions (and says some seriously funny shit)
Feature #7: GOOD WRITING! (something that doesn't come along very often in RPG Maker games!)
Feature #8: No spelling mistakes or grammatical errors! I know this is an add-on to feature #7, so fuck you!
Feature #9: Maps that are good enough that you WON'T bitch about them!
Feature #10: Interesting monsters! (They aren't just boring shells!)
Feature #11: Interesting bosses! (Even more interesting than the monsters!)
Feature #12: Skill Shops! Pick your skills out carefully!
Feature #13: Plentiful treasure! Do you like chests? There's plenty of them! (Both treasure chests and chests and that involve breasts).
Feature #14: The power of ranged weapons are calculated through the agility stat rather than the strength stat! Making character customization even MORE interesting!
Feature #15: Some cool music! (And not those retarded mp3s that take up like 8 mbs a piece!)
Feature #16: Cool enemy graphics! Gotten from the INTERNET!
Feature #17: Scary snails! (Yes, I went there!)
Feature #18: Over 17 features for this game! Now come on, how many games have you seen that have 18 features? This game MUST be incredible!

And The Only Part Anybody Cares About! (Screens)

Some Other Things:
The story in-game starts out very ambiguous and is, admittedly, kinda stupid. You may find yourself asking, "Why am I still playing this game?" Well, you have my promise that the game gets significantly better after the first hour, and I encourage you to keep on playing. On that note,

I NEED BETA TESTERS

Think about it, folks. The opportunity of a lifetime. Be the FIRST to play my new game. Just throw me a PM and I'll hook you up, broski.

And on that note, I'm done typing up this thread. Adios, amigos.
 
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish from your satirically pretentious tone, but I'm not impressed. I would suggest posting some actual content (no offense, but the screens are subpar to average at best), if you want to attract testers; from your post, it sounds like a joke game. Which if it is, I'm not sure why you're trying to attract testers in the first place.

Awesome Bro

Yeah I pretty much feel the same as regi about this... not really anything I want to comment on because at the moment, I can't take the thread seriously.
