Welcome to ALTER LEGEND.

A tragic accident turns into a source of power. After a massive slaughter of an entire city, at the hands of an elusive titan, the survivors realize they can channel the spirits of the dead. The spirits take shape as monsters, as magic, and as chaos. Join Alek in a struggle to to find out why the great beast Igara, a once peaceful beast, would suddenly rampage, killing thousands.
Explore a massive world in a free roam system that still very much pushes a thick and juicy plot. Choose to sell old gear, or synthesize them into new powerful weapons. Explore dungeons, forests, castles, churches, temples and the depths of your own damn backpack as this game caters to those who like the grind and collect, just as much as it does to those who like to avoid that kind of thing and just soak in a beautiful immersion plot. Challenge yourself with quicktime combos that make skill a bigger factor then level, but still gain experience to multiply the power of that same skill your momma gave you! Not everything is as it seems in Alter Legends. Friends are foes, where foes are friends and the world is constantly changing to continuously bring new game play to the the table. We may have bit off more than we can chew, making this game, but by god were going to finish it, and give it to you for free.
Welcome to Alter Legend, and may your stay be increasingly epic.

(disclaimer**)

Yes there are some minor graphical bugs here and there, but this game is about as polished as it's going to get (not including game breaking bugs.)

I made this game to practice and learn. It's served it's purpose but It's time for me to start clean with all that I have learned. I'm looking forward to bringing you completely polished and professional work in the future, however, when i started this game, I had no idea what I was doing, and the frame work I built it upon has become very very limiting to me. I hope you guys can enjoy it as it is, she is my first child :P Cheers guys.

The Long Long Road.

So I am back from vacation and the first thing I did was PLOW through a mountain of let's plays of my game. ( I put it up privately on another site for lets players to beta test for me).

Now before I go on I need to state this. Alter Legend is my very first full length project and I only made it to practice and learn rpg maker.

I made it in VX and with the release of ACE my engine has become obsolete. Not to mention when I started the project, I had NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING, so this game is built on a really shitty frame work that would be far too much work to fix, so there are a lot of non game breaking kwirks that I never plan on fixing.

why will I not fix these bugs? Because I have learned all I wanted to learn from Alter Legend, it has served it's purpose. I want so badly to start on a fresh project with nice neat, clean ground work, where I can apply all my new good habits from the start.


there is a general consensus that the game is too hard. It's painful to watch as most people struggle because of terrible decision making... whether it's from not taking the time to look for the chests i scattered EVERYWHERE, or if its from not bothering to read the dialogue and then getting lost. Or some people that spam the chain attacks and never use spells at all. I do not blame the players though, How can I? A game is fun, or it isn't I need to investigate how to overcome different players and their different skill sets.

SO, that being said, I will be nurfing monster HP and the damage from certain spells. I will be making it so certain monsters don't respawn, especially monsters in puzzle areas.

I will be increasing the money dropped from killed creatures, and will make edits to certain quests to make things more obvious.

Eventually I will add more content to Mekana city. I will add more side quests, and will drastically expand the relationship system which in the current build is basically unused.

After these changes the game will go into hiatus while I work on a Commercial project with Galv. Alter Legend will be revisited from time to time to not only add to the story and provide more hours of gameplay, but will also slowly polish the game over time.

I want to thank everyone for your interest in the past year and a half of development. I want to thank all my lets players for putting themselves through hell playing my terribly inbalanced game in it's current build lmfao... those videos were hard to watch! And I want to thank Galv and my girlfriend for putting up with me for all this time :D I'm not an easy guy to deal with ^^

Sit tight, the final build of Alter Legend will be up in the next few days :)

WOW!

This game is even compatible in Joiplay too!

Keep up the good work!
Unfinished RPG. Mapping is quite good, but I had some eventing and battle issues. The part of the game that gave me the most trouble is when vance runs off by himself in chapter 2. There is a cutscene right before that where if you tap thru it too fast, arenna stops moving and blocks the shopkeeper causing the game to freeze. I was stuck in this part for a long time because the battle after that, where vance has to fight a villain in a duel, is hard and requires a very specific strategy. He had a 370+ damage attack that can easily kill me in 2-3 hits, so you had to hope he didnt do it too often. That part almost made me quit the game. The game is also a bit unstable and can crash with no warning. It also isnt too polished either, but its still a fancy looking game and I liked it, aside from that one part.
I see the last post on this board was over a year ago. Is anyone still monitoring it? I'm wondering how I get the key to the door in the sewer. It took me in there automatically and I can't get back out, so ... Key?

Please I was not trying to be rude or difficult it is just those are the colours upon my screen to me but PLEASE can you tell me how to move them- I would really appreciate the help. Also not all of us playing these games are youngsters( under 40's) - I for one am not and understand the difficulty in making these games and the time spent in development and appreciate the help that is given.

I DID IT!! I do not know how but I have got through that area - challenging puzzles.keep up the good work!

I literally did not make 2 different blues. there is grey, blue, and red. I am sorry you are frustrated. I will keep you in mind the next time I am designing a puzzle.

Help again please- have made it to the tomb in desert with the blue/purple pylons - can move some to get to the chest in room with green button but cannot move any others to get to red chest or green button - suggestions please


some pillers can be pushed and pulled, others can only be one or the other, red ones cannot be moved at all. If you cannot get through, it means you have moved the pillers incorrectly and need to reset them. Good luck :)

Thank you for the save - have now moved on in the game, but now need to find a pepper root where and what is it- I have found all the other requirements - I have found it!!


If you go into the main building of that town, there is a shop on the top floor, farthest east side of the building, they sell pepper root. Also, a bug was discovered where you need to have exactly the right amount of skitter eggs, you cant have too many. So before you try to hand in the ingredients, make sure you eat any extras that you have.

Sorry to be a bother, but I still cannot get through the part with the trap and snow storm- I get killed every time I try - I am not fast enough with movement to be able to negotiate the spaces. could you suggest any other way or help - many thanks
hold your arrow keys down in the direction you need to move, don't let go inbetween each square. It's very possible! I promise! How far do you get before it whoops you? Do you make it as far as the jump? Try using the ramp if you arnt already.
