Dead content awaiting restoration.

For those who thought I had just stopped making this game, I didn't. :) Basically, once I found out about RMVX, I stopped making the game for XP, and just went into planning and such. Finally, when VX was released, I began putting the story together and such. Yes, I do use RTP for my game because 1. I suck anything graphic, and 2. I'm working on this game by myself. I focus a lot more on story, which is fortified by a nice atmosphere provided by the game. So with much further a-do, here is Temperance!

Story
"A father's dying wish becomes a son's burning destiny."

 
It was an anarchist group created by a man named Corias Venditti, bent on bringing down the Isthian aristocrasy. It was a war meant to forever change the face of Priteria by redefining new boundaries for countries across the planet... but it was not intended to last for twenty years. The Crystal War, as it was called, had brought the planet to its knees. Dragging on three countries; Isthia, Sifia, and Oeilvert, into a conflict that would claim hundreds of thousands of lives. The main players, Isthia and Sifia.
                Brock Solias was a prominant member of the Kiltias, known across the entire Isthian Kingdom for his verocity and intelligent mental capabilities. Brock was recruited into the group by Corias, who was very persuasive... promising Brock many things that would all end in disappointment.
                Protestors of the war, the Kiltias attacked Isthian naval bases and other such government buildings in an attempt to bring the conflict to a halt. This would not suffice, however, as the Kiltias were quickly out-numbered and over matched. Soon, Brock wanted out of the Kiltias. When news reached Corias, he reactted by assassinating Brock.
                Brock had married during his time in the Kiltias. He wed the beautiful damsel Mariah Roanoke of Oeilvert. They had a son, whom they named Dante. When Corias attacked Brock and Mariah, Dante was sent to live with Lady Mary in Isledon.
                Seventeen years after these events, we now fast-forward to contemporary Valendia. The war had just ended; Isthia and Sifia had finally come to terms, losing much more than they had hoped to gain. Peace seemed to last for eternity... until...
                Oredae, a small village located east of the Cascade Mountains in Southern Valendia, had been attacked by a group of unknown bandits. One of the survivors, Sophia Cross, was quick to retreat and try to get help. She was too late however, and the damage had been done. It seems that the Ares Medallion, a treasure passed down by the Oredian Barons for centuries, had been stolen. The purpose? It is unknown. Sophia now travels to Isledon in search of answers... this is where our story begins.

World of Temperance *New*

Priteria is the name of the fantasy world that Temperance takes place in. It is divided into four major continents; Valendia, Vrene, Rinoan, and Erania. There are also three major countries which are involved in the story; Isthia, Sifia, and Oeilvert. Throughout the game, the protagonists travel across the globe during their adventures and explore a variety of places. Valendia, which is the continent the game beings on, is host of four towns; Isledon, Solace, Oredae, and Redeia. The game begins with Sophia arriving at Isledon, and it goes from there.

Characters - Protagonists *New*
Dante Solias
Age: 17
Specializations: Thievery, Flimflam
Weapons: Daggers
       The son of famed assassin Brock Solias, Dante is a Rogue traveler who loves adventure. He meets Sophia in the Wisteria Overpass, and begins to travel along side of her in search of answers. Once he finds out about Corias, Dante seeks justice for his father's murder, and will stop at nothing until this is achieved.

Sophia Cross
Age: 17
Specializations: White Magic
Weapons: Clubs and maces
      Sophia Cross is a mystery. Her inate ability to cast magic has captivated many people, especially Cyrus Reinhart. She is from Oredae, a village attacked by bandits. She travels to Isledon in search of Dante, but is in for a lot more surprises then she bargained for.

Cyrus Reinhart
Age: 21
Specializations: Black Magic
Weapons: Staves
     Cyrus Reinhart is considered to be the "Protector of Solace". Solace is a town located on the southwestern portion of Valendia, a town defended by a Guardian that is as strong as its opponent is evil. When Dante and Sophia come to Solace, they become quick acquaintances, and Cyrus decides to join them on their quest.

Baron Forloin
The Baron of Isledon, the young, charismatic leader is very admiring and very caring. He welcomes Sophia with open arms, and acts as a mediator for the early party.

Baron Hawke
The Baron of Solace, the mysterious Hawke, or also known as General Stragus, left the Isthian army soon after the war began, because he refused to serve under the flag of a corrupt government, which he believed it was. Hawke became a diplomat for Sifia, and helped create the peace treaty that exists today.

Characters - Antagonists

Corias Venditti
Age: 47
Backstory: Corias Venditti is the founder of the Kiltias. He used to be in the Isthian senate, but was framed for the murder of a diplomat and was relinquished from his duties as a senator. Corias grew poor and turned to thievery to support himself, landing him into a lot of trouble with a lot of the slums' nastiest villains. He began to organize a group of bandits and assassins, which started to grow exponentially. Soon, they ran the underground of Isthia, and soon threatened the government itself. As big in numbers as they were, they were no match for the power of Isthia's military. The Kiltias ran away, never to be seen in Isthia again.

This is where Corias met the profound Brock Solias. They became close friends and Corias appointed him second-in-command. The Kiltias grew strong, unchallenged by anything. Corias waged war on Isthia, attacking its villages along the coastline. He then began targetting members of its senate, slowly killing them off. The king felt it was time to take action against these anarchists. Once again, Corias proved no match for the fighting machine that was the Royal military. They retreated, never to be seen for quite some time.

Fast forward thirteen years later, Corias and Brock stood in front of each other as enemies. A decisive battle, Corias slain Brock, ending a fragile alliance within the Kiltias. The clan was divided, and began to fight within each other. It is here that people say the Kiltias was desolved. No one has heard of Corias since.

Your story is brilliant, it seems very well planned. As is the case with the description of the world and the characters. This looks like a very solid project and I am looking forward to seeing this in action.
 
I laughed at the 27 year old dude who got his ass kicked by the 19 year old and now vows to beat up the kid as his lifelong goal.

Also looking forward to this game.

=D, yeah, its turning out WAY better than I expected. The database is almost complete, so I'll start working on a few maps and such, and maybe do an introduction. I'm expecting the introduction to be about 10-15 minutes long, maybe longer. Its pretty much going to portray the past of Dante's father and how he was ultimately double crossed by Corias, and then introduce Dante and Sophia.

Anyway, here's a screenshot of the title. It's not much yet, but it'll do for now.

Simple Title Script made by WeissRaben
 
I thought about that, but that'd completely change how I want the game to portray the story. You get to play some of the intro as well, so it'll be more interactive then just a boring narrative.

Customized Catchm's FFX-2 CMS. Might leave it as is... or play with it some more.

Taken off because its no longer in use.

Scripts are almost all done. Once I have all the scripts I need, I'll go ahead and give credit on the top post.
 
Roy Vendolver is considered to be the most strongest man on Priteria....

im sorry people im not one to look for errors to point them out it just...that im the one actually reading it.... not saying that no one else is reading it im just saying... but yea i love the story very indepth describtion of the world and the quote unqoute evil team.. also as for you goal of making a game/project not too cliche not cliche in the least bit....so all for all i definitly watching how this project/game moves along ;)
 
So after about two years of not touching anything RPG Maker related, I decided to dive into the world known as RPG making once again. This time, instead of making worthless projects that wouldn't even make it through two weeks, I decided to play games and do some research before brainstorming some ideas. I wanted to make a game people would enjoy and not too clich?. So after much planning, I've decided to put my ideas up on the forums to see how much support I would actually get.

Your story seems similar to mine although it seems as if you have done more planning etc. I'm kind of jsut winging it and having fun while actually creating something decent. Only I don't care that some starting bits of my story are cliche, it will all even out.

The story seems interesting but I'm waiting to see how you execute it. I like Dante's character set though ^_^ The facesets you made seem to suite the characters well.
 
Bumped because of a MAJOR update.

No, I never gave up on this game, so instead of making a different post, I just editted my first post and bumped it.

Currently uploading the demo and such... editted my top post for a ton of more information. Check it out!
 
Aaah, I remember this. Still looking good.

However I don't really like the fact you're making It In VX. I believe the theme of the game would be better portrayed through XP.

But It's your choice and If you're happier making It In VX, go right ahead! 


Umm, also you may want to remove Enterbrain from you're title as they ask not to be mentioned. It may be different for VX though, I'm not sure.

Thanks :D

Yeah, the mapping on VX is veerrry different from XP so, not surprised if it looks bad, but hey. As I keep making maps I'm getting better at it, so I'll probably just go back and remake a few of my maps.

Uploaded the demo, hope you guys enjoy! Comments and feedbacks appreciated.

Question! *raises hand*


Over 100 MB?


W....T.....F.....is in this project...

*collapses*

Sound files tend to bloat things up real fast.

Edit: After playing a while I get this bug that make it impossible to continue the game. The screen turns black after talking with the baron. The menu still works but I can't see a thing.

Awkward... weird I didn't spot that when I tested it through.. I'll fix it :(
 
So when are you going to fix the demo? I just played the existing one and got to the black screen after talking to the baron.
