I made the Inn for the Pavilion's contest, but unfortunately I had to cut a lot of content to meet the deadline. Kinda sucks because I had a lot of ideas for it. Right now I'm taking my original ideas and bouncing them around with some new ones. I feel like the concept of a mysterious Inn and a mysterious protagainist is a good one. I want to finish this game.

I'm torn here, I could easily make this for RPG Maker 1, but I'm looking at the PC Makers which offer a lot of flexibility. I'm still trying to decide what to do :\

My goal with this game is to make something unpredictable that will confuse the player as the game gets crazier. You're not gonna know what the Inn actually is, and why everything is so twisted until you keep progressing.

Disha is the protagonist, and my idea for him is to make him the complete opposite of your standard RPG Hero. Crono is strong, Disha is not. Cloud is a master with his silly sword, Disha can barely use his own. He is a character that started out confident in fighting the big bad dragon, but his journey has whittled him and he's beginning to doubt himself. The whole word is on his shoulders, and he's feeling the pressure.

Bleh, I'm messing around with VX. Just not feeling it. Can't make the game creepy or scary. Guess I'll keep trying..

From what I can understand, you can use XP sixes sprites in VX as well. But I can see where scary/creepy would be hard to pull off. You'll have to try and work with color and lighting schemes to try and add effect.

Right now I'm trying to find a suitable tileset. This is hard. Most of them just aren't that unique.

EDIT: Looking at this game for inspiration
