The Secrets of Kankara

[Jaden]

The Secrets of Kankara is a project that has been in development for 3 years. It started out on RMXP, but is now on RMVX Ace. It uses a number of scripts, but the primary one is XAS Ace Edition.

Story:
An evil court mage is attempting to release an evil into the world from Tenebris (the dimension of shadow and corruption). The main character is the grandson of a former court mage who is trying to stop it from happening. The main character sets off on his adventure after he hears a plea for help echo in his mind.

Features:
-ABS (Action battle system, aka zelda-style battle system)! Why bother with turn based battles when you can press a button and use your sword?

-Full time and weather system (time moves at a pace and effects things like shop openings, events that occur only at night, etc., weather will change on it's own depending on where the player is)

-Item creation (the player will have to craft some of the items used in game, using materials that are often dropped by enemies, bushes, etc.)

-Item drops! Enemies drop items, bushes drop items, etc.

-Minor bug fixes as well as one game freezing one. Minor graphical update as well; sword swing graphic for hero (not finished).

This game tends to be process heavy because of some screen effects, it is highly recommended that you play it with nothing else open for the best result.

Thank you for your interest and stay tuned for updates!

Downloading. My first thoughts of the video is that you need to replace the HUD and POP graphics. Maybe match your title graphics. It looked like the map name display is in a different font. Even the video's title card uses a different typeface. You got to bring it all together.

Imo the pastel colors of the action battle HUD was never a good tone for what English rm games use it for. I'm assuming if you can make that title card you can change the display elements to something more appropriate. Something to match the serious music and shadow world vibes you're presenting.

Yeah, some of the graphics have been changed since this video was captured, such as the text box (though I think I kept the same blue, I'll have to change that anyway, it's too bright).

The other display elements will probably undergo another change before final release, I do agree they need to be revamped and styled better. I might be able to do that this week, it's a somewhat minor change so it shouldn't take an extended amount of time lol.

Thanks for the suggestion! :biggrin:
