It's another sunny day in Pleasant Valley, and young Dan's got a smile on his face! Today's the day he gets to go to the city of Brownstone to see his good friend Jack, someone he hasn't seen for quite some time.
However, it turns out a day of fun and games is soon cut short, as the two of them are caught up in a series of events regarding a mystical artifact known as the KiraStar.
Should be pretty simple for a couple of kids, right?
FEATURES
• Custom made sprites.
• An original soundtrack by BurningTyger.
• No complicated systems. Just straight forward, easy to use RPG action!
• A series of quirky events.
• Quests! Puzzles! Smiles!
• A lighthearted story about two friends growing up together.
A LITTLE ABOUT KIRASTAR
KiraStar has been knocking around in my head for almost seven years. It originally started out as a web comic about video games, and had a rather silly sense of humour.
Over the years, I started leaning more towards making a video game. Originally it was a side-scrolling RPG, then it was a traditional RPG (which some of you may have played), and has continued to be reworked and redesigned, though one core factor has remained the same: Keep it simple, keep it fun.
I've been somewhat of a shadowy stalker of the RPG Making community for a long time now. I've played quite a few awesome games made by some very talented people, but I've played more that have only been about the "systems" then the actual experience. It's cool that you've made this in an engine it wasn't designed to do, but why should I care? What does it add?
I'm certainly not saying that KiraStar is revolutionary. KiraStar has been designed around what RPG Maker XP can do. Many of the scripts sitting in it's database are there to enhance what it can already do, rather than replace what it did.
I'm not trying to set the world on fire. All I want to do is create a little adventure that should (hopefully) put a smile on your face.
KiraStar: The Polybius Problem (the demo) will be available on May 4th, 2013, to coincide with the Release Something Weekend.

Hmm, do you need resources of some kind? Clare's released his battlers though I'll admit they may not fit with your art, and i may be able to cook up some semi-randomized music.

Music is the one area I'm struggling with. I found some pretty cool tunes, but I must admit, I would rather have some original compositions.
If you're up for it (I may have quite a few requests), then let me know. :)
author=DSWaltonI'll see what I can do; I'll admit that with no access to a Midi keyboard I often start with randomly generated midi and work from there.

Also, make certain to check out the new Music pack- it's likely to have some good stuff and you might end up being the first to use it. I also realize I have an EarthBound Soundfont to use in rendering anything if you wish.

So when can we expect the next demo?
I'm planning to have a demo done by the end of March, early April time.
You cannot grasp the true form of the storyline. . .
I'll admit to not having actually played Earthbound. . .

Man, I wish I had XP! This looks so awesome.....
Edit: Must have remake for VX Ace once XP version finished! MUST HAVE IT!

Wes, you DO know that you don't need to own Xp to play Xp games, right? JUst grab the XP RTP here and you should be fine for any XP game. For that matter, this particular game looks like it uses little to no RTP resources.
OH and DSW I found EB based fonts if you wan them, as well as some other weird ones.

Oh god AWESOME. Thanks Tyger! Wait, where on rmw do I download?
Oh, never mind. Seriously, thanks, that's totally awesome!
Edit: Now I shall wait impatiently for a download. Subbed!
Editedit: Corrected misspelling. I await the demo.

Cooly! this looks like a great game :D
i can't wait to play it when it comes out ^^
have not played the earthbound series, if this game is good i might give it a go :3
so you made the sprites yourself? thats awesome! :D I also love the character pictures. Jack looks like quite the trouble maker XD

I highly recommend you check out Earthbound, as it is one of the best RPGs ever made, ever. A wonderfully charming experience.
Every single sprite and tile in the game has indeed been made by myself. It's been a lot of work, but I find it very enjoyable. Hopefully it's pleasant to the eye. XD
You're not wrong about Jack either, he's a bit of a scamp! :)
The RS W demo should include some new tunes and ideas as well, though I'm not promising it'll be as many as Earthbound; I want this to feel like play, not work. The final version may have more.
A download? A dooooownlooooooaaad!!! I will download this immediately! After I go out to eat and go to the grocery store, that is! :D
Yes. I just hope it cuts off at a logical point. Good job, Dan. I must go... I hope it doesn't require any RTP as I 'm hoping ot show it to my grandmother.
Sorry to tell ya this, but you've got some bug squashing to do in the Bugzy Backwoods!
Aside from the BUGS I like the game! At first I thought the enemies were a BIT overpowered but then I leveled up to level two and now those bees are a breeze!
One of the beehives (the one closest to the woods' entrance, I think) doesn't fall down and trigger a battle when you interact with it. Dan moves back and then the game freezes. Also, in the southwest area of the woods there's a path that leads west but when I go that direction a thing pops up that says "Unable to find Audio Memento Mori". Then the game shuts down.

Well I feel very silly! Fixed the bugs and am now uploading the new file!
Sorry about that! :(
