Heyyyyyyyyyyy what's up guys. That title, amiright?


In all seriousness though, I do have to say that I am working on something as we speak. Mostly due to my recent sleepiness problems, I've had a lot of random time to start doing this. 

BIG NOTICE: If you do not trust this file hosting website, please let me know if you still want to try it out. This has been done just for ease. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WILL PROBABLY BE REWORKED BEFORE I FIGURE GIVING OUT A POLISHED, FINISHED VERSION.

ALSO, GET THE RTP FILES HERE. THESE WILL ONLY NEED TO BE DOWNLOADED ONCE. JUST SAVE THEM IN A FOLDER SOMEWHERE. THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE GAME.

(The Download's free and from the maker's website. Safe.)

Okay, now... What should I call this build? Probably Alpha 0.0.1. If I'm gonna be honest.

THINGS TO KNOW

Spoiler

HealthPoints- Obvious, ain't it?

WillPower- These are basically Technical Points. The more you hit and get hit, the higher this goes. All the way up to 100. Mainly used for weapon techniques in this game, but I'm hoping on adding a more dynamic approach to how this will affect combat. Mesalians get them faster and passively gain them each turn as a mechanics balance against Lucins and Xitians. 

LifeForce- While in technicality eveyone should get this, this is mainly just a way for Lucins and Xitians to dish out their powers. Again, wanting to do something more dynamic in the future like tiring themselves if they use it too much.

Most of the remaining stats are pretty run-of-the-mill. ATK, DEF, MAT (For the powers), MDF, AGL. I have been reworking LUCK to make it seem to work more as a "Skill" sort of stat. You didn't just randomly get a crit, you damn well knew how to!

Now, actual talk.

Got a ship, dock, the open world and a single town made. I have random encounters set up on the open world, and they go up... to a fourth or fitfh teir of monsters. I think anything teir 3 and above atm is too much for Lucius (And if you figure it out, Karmen as well) to handle on their own. Not even grinding will save you.

There's a LITTLE bit of dialogue here and there. This version, overall, is pretty much just to give a look around on.

Everything except the Open World bit has been hand-crafted by myself. I even redid all of the items, weapons, armor, characters, classes, and enemies (And look at the lack of those things! for now, at least.) Notably, there's no armor or weapons yet you can obtain, and the only things you can buy are bandages and mushrooms. 

I encourage, if you do try this, to look around. I've hidden a few goodies here and there (And the way to get Karmen as your buddy). I plan on MANY more things to come, in fact I was hoping to get a max crew of around 8 peeps for an entire party, each with their own unique feel and niche.

Due to the nature of this being a RPG-MAKER game, doing anything with actual characters from the RP can be tricky. Mostly because the faceart for the toons has to be just right to look any good. I can do Pixelart just fine, it's that bug however that would plague me should I include anyone.

All proceeding updates will be made on this thread as new replies. Feel free to comment as well though.

Sick Pics.

I've spent a lot of time working on the Battle window. Lol.

BUILD 0.2.1 (We're gonna start like dat.)

Also, if you're wanting to use this version i suggest downloading the RTP files, as it will be needed from now on. It's a one time thing, and it saves a lot of time by taking away all the base files from the game and putting them off to the side. Any RPGMAKER game works with these files. Most are actually required you have these.

+ Lots of new places to roam around. You've got several encampments, a lone house, another town, several forests, and a mine area. The town's not finished, but close enough.

+ Enemies have been update and go into the 4th teir.  This means going out far enough will, sadly, not spawn anything other than slimes on the main world map.

+ You can now get Levi and Marcus onto your party. Though much like Karmen they are not in their final spots. it'll be taking much more than what it is now to actually get them.

+ Weapons and items are buyable. 

+ Bootiful new Battle GUI and Window art. It no longer looks like the basic RPGMAKER game's window.

* Some places are inaccesible as of yet due to me not being done with them.

* Fixed some animation issues with attacks.

Noted Things needed Fixing:

- The Battle GUI for the actor windows seems to be slightly offcenter. I've been looking, but now dice as of yet.

- The added creature teirs ofc.

- Some of the graphics do not work right/not animated. Will get on with that when I can.

- Needing to slightly redo some of the stat distribution for leveling.

Hey Dark, I'm trying to download this again to try cause I hadn't the time to earlier. Link no work?

[Dark]

Heya Zark. Seems the link dies after a week or so. Don't worry, I'm getting more done on a newer version.

Might need to find a better way to keep these files, if anyone would like suggesting. Don't exactly have money for a premium cloud.
