Demo for First Act has been released

I am uploading the fix. Sorry guys.

Beta-Testing

I don't think there will be quite that many bugs, I've tried to thoroughly test as I go along - what I'm really wanting to test out is some of the balancing, and spots where I stray in terms of dialect (in this first chapter, the main races are the dwarves and the orcs, who are creatures from Niflheim that have gained passage to Nibelheim from a story arc - I wanted to use this mainly to bolster the surmounting army that is building up against Valhalla, since dwarves are depicted as weak and sort of foolish people in Wagner's play) - the dwarves kind of have a sloppy, ignorant sounding-dialect while the orcs, whom are really just the deceased who were sent to Niflheim versus Asgard/Valhalla, tend to have a blunt, rage-like approach yet with a semblance of intelligence behind them through words. The systems in the game are also something I'd like to see how people feel before I do a full release of the demo and then presentation - sometimes adding an extra second of wait time or eliminating it seems to do wonders.

I'm hoping by the end of the week at the very least I can get you guys a demo that may not include the quest menu - depending on how work pressures go.

What I'm really excited about is the freedom I have with the 2nd Act - between the creation of the Valkyries and beginning of the end of the act, I have some freedom to touch on aspects of not only the mythology the play was built on, but also some historical influence - my initial intro plan is to have a Brunhilde encounter with King Odacer of Italy (I am placing the story during the fall of the Western Roman Empire, which allows me to weave Dietrich von Bern into the story akin to the Nibelunglied) which foreshadows a historical event.

I will keep you guys updated.

What's next

While I haven't played the new game yet, I do remember really enjoying Demon Legacy, which especially at the time (with the exception of my own game) was probably the only game in the genre (dark fantasy) and if you would like to take anything from it - likely was a big help to put dark fantasy rpgs on the map in the rpgmaker realm.

At the end of the day, I definitely don't agree that the games you made were a waste of time whatsoever, and its impressive you were able to complete not just one, but two games.

Phantom Legacy is complete

Yes.

I decided to start working on a game as a release from the stresses of the workplace and poke around here when I can.

How have you been?

Phantom Legacy is complete

How long is it? I may be interested in testing.

I'm Starting to Feel Kinda Nauseous.........

I think the game is excellent and probably the first rpgmaker game I've played through even the demo since Demon Legacy...
I look forward to the next demo.
