Story

Ghost has been isolated from society for years, with memories blanked before the seven years in Malphia Island. Before that he got treated by an orphanage that closed down five years ago. One day suddenly, a bandit troop attacks the Island of Malphia.


Ghost was introduced to this conflict by a shear surprise attack by Akrus vile bandits 'The Heganes". Now allied with the vile magicians of the Guargar Ipitoth Canyon, 'Trickery Arts'.

The objective for the Trickery Arts is hard in theory and hardest in practice. They seek out the spirits of the ancient kings, to claim the crowns into their collection.

Characters
Ghost
A hero with no memories of his past.
Duran
A member of Katies team hideout - a rebellious opposition of the Ebsa Kingdom. He's cunning and a sharp talker.
Katie
The leader of the opposition. The planner and the moralest person on the team.

The game is available on Itch.io.

NEED TESTERS FOR FEEDBACK!

It may be helpful to be more specific about what you expect the co-producers to do.

 

[MiBa]

Thanks for the feedback. I have edited the post now.

 

[rpgmaker20221]

Which engine are you using? Rpg maker Vx ace or mv?

 

[MiBa]

Rpg Maker MV.

 

[rpgmaker20221]

Rpg Maker MV.

Oh, i only have vx ace

 

[HexMozart88]

@rpgmaker20221 You don't need to have MV to be able to event or write, it's only if you want to script.
I mean, I'm a pretty decent eventer, but it honestly seems like you've barely started. I have no idea what those random pictures are about.

At this very moment I am really in need of a title screen and an attractive icon for the Steam Workshop. Both should have the Engineer Workshop (5th screenshot on the topic) as the theme. On the foreground are the following characters: Gurg, Duran and Bertolos. For you who have played the game, you have met Gurg, Duran and Bertolos. You have heard of Katie.

Don't do Katie as a layer in the painting software that you use. We'll talk about it later. I do think there needs to be a girl on the title screen, but I haven't decided yet if Katie will ever set foot in the Engineer Workshop.

The purpose of this is advertisement. The more people interested, the more help and feedback I get.

 

[HexMozart88]

I only see four screenshots...?
Actually, never mind. The fifth one just took awhile to load. A title screen probably wouldn't be too hard, but I don't know how big steam icons are.

It's as big as the icon in icon folder that is in the project folder.

By the way, I'm on discord if you want to talk more.

Added a demo of the game. It can be downloaded on the topic post. All feedback appreciated. Even new story branch feedback too.

 

[MiBa]

Done with the prologue.

 

[MiBa]

Uploaded the new version.

Pretty soon I will be needing the crafting table. Duran has a weapon but no armor. No rush, but I think I'm keeping the game on hold until I get a crafting table.

Got it sorted out. Found a plugin for crafting.

 

[Chris-Kun]

wew...
it needs a lot of work there buddy, i can help on events and mapping.
i can't really fully help, but if there's any problem with plugins or maybe you need to make some complex event then i can help

Spoiler

not to be rude, but the story is a "little" all over the place and seems very childish

I do need help with mapping, a bit eventing wouldn't hurt either.

 

[Chris-Kun]

i would be glad to help every now and then

 

[MiBa]

New demo. Changed the characters and audio to Times. Not much changed except for that and full screen support. I don't feel like building story branches yet so the long break from that continues.
