This demo only has 40 - 60 minutes of playtime.
(Without optional easter egg hunts, there are storyline developments that you could skip over.. if you're not a story buff. Yet, 30 minutes is still dedicated to the storyline.. give or take walking distances.)

Most of the features are cut out as well (CG cutscenes, Voice actors, Original Music)

Yet, the demo is here.. because I hate delaying things too much. Especially to those who have been faithfully waiting for me to release this game. This game is one of the few RM rpg's that balances storyline and battle. I guarantee you have never seen RTP molded like this.. well.. often >.>. <3

Without further to do.. wait .. wait..
CREDITS.. eh, its all in the prelude.

OKAY lets go.

Rest in peace, this is for chew Mary.

My grandma
You too grammy! RIP

My uncle.
<3>.< I'll finish it one day. I promise. What ticks me off is that there are four other major castles in game <.< I DONT WANNA DO THEM.

Tips:
There are 3 bosses in Poroure's cave. One hidden, one optional, one mandatory. There are 8 hidden items in game.. some hidden in plain sight.. others only discovered when you look around the castle. There are one or two items that you can get after an optional event.

Enemies do drop items (sometimes at a low chance)
Soldiers drop soldier restoratives
The chicken drops restoratives of the health and reviving restoratives.
The wolf drops attack boosters
Mice drop Skill restoratives.

Pleads:
Please tell me if there is any errors in game. I kinda got lazy towards the end.
Also, please provide a screenshot of the error so I can hurry and fix it =X.

I want to say 3 things.

1. Welcome to the site.

2. That's one hell of a first post. Congratulations on making it.

3. Your art style is quite nice.

=D Thank you.

I tried to upload this to the manager but I couldn't.

What happened when you tried to upload to the site? Did it time out?

It just kept loading for 30 minutes.

I will look into that. While I do that, I will likely upload your game for you and then set your page up to edit as you need. But it's too late tonight.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Huzzah!

That looks really well done. Congratulations.

I'll play it as soon as I have the chance to (most likely in a couple weeks' time).

For now, I can say that the screenshots look good (I know how annoying it is to map in RPGMXP), and the art is definitely a rather nice touch.

And one technical question: what CBS are you using? Have you made it yourself?

nice marketing. its good to see someone going around to different sites and promoting their game as well as youve done. this is how you generate release hype.

Honestly yeah it's easier to be motivated to finish something as big as an 24 chapter 100+ hour game when people are actually counting on you to finish. As long as I feel wanted, I'll finish this thing.. in fact I'll do more than finish it.. I'll make sure that it'll be the best game on RMXP.. in any language.

Coincidentally. You must be a member of many sites/ googled me.. I'm amazed that you showed so much interest.

It's not much.. but we do have an animator for the project.. I hope this will get you psyched to play the final product.

yea i am a member of quite a few places though the main one is here and the pavilion.

100 plus hour game better have the type of stuff your proposing. if anyone is going to sit through half of it then it has to be good and be known to be good - its a tough sell otherwise.

It has to be good if its not my blood sweat and tears in this game would be for naught.. and overhyping it as well. I have to put this stress on myself because if I dont I'll half-ass.

As soon as I can get some things settled, I'll be sure to give your demo a compete runthrough. I'm looking foward to it.

One heck of a necro post coming but its a good reason. >.>

I changed battle systems and now I have a few videos up.
