Bhavacakra (Meaning the Wheel of Life) is a fantasy RPG game made in RPG Maker MV.

The game is typical in a sense that nothing stands out. It has a main plot, choices, and side quests. The focus of this game is lives, people's lives. And their lives are side quests. This game boosts 100+ side quests in around 30 ~ 40 hours gameplay. There are also three endings with one ending leading to post game world.

There are several things I focused while making this game.

  • The game world is consisted of four nations, with each nations containing about 2 major cities and 3 ~ 4 small villages. There is an exception though; there is an off world nation. All in all, I consider the game world to be fairly large.
  • I did mention 100+ quests. They are side quests. Few get complicated and will go into post game. Some are hard. Some are simple fetch quests. But side quests will have stories to tell. This game is about lives. Oh, and defeat the big evil thing. Actually, no, there is no real evil being to defeat in the game. But the wheel of life works in mysterious ways.
  • Monsters do not drop money at all. Why should they? They drop their body parts instead. You either sell them to proper places (trading posts) for bigger profits or use them to cook.
  • Main characters and other important characters have unique CG portrait. The game also contains CG scenes I made.
  • You can pursue your relationship with your heroine all the way into marriage if you so desire.




Characters





This is Juan, the main character of the game. You will control him and make decisions for him. Depending on your choices, he can become an adventurer or he can fight for his country against a national invasion or even fight against his country.
21 years old at the start of the game.






Sue is pretty much the heorine of the game. She becomes Juan's girlfriend shortly into the game and marries Juan if it is his choice later on. Seemingly carefree, she has some darkside to her due to her lonely upbringing. She starts out as a village hunter and later becomes a professional archer.
22 years old at the start of the game.






Decon is a scholar from Alcella. He is intelligent but sometimes lacks common sense. He is found captured by Red Turban bandits and rescued later on by either Juan or Maco. After that, he tags along with Juan. Depending on Juan's choices, he may leave the party.
29 years old at the start of the game.





Marat is a weapon vendor. Well, she is a weapon seller in Cizna department store. She is under heavy debt when found by Juan. After getting her out of debt, she joins Juan and Co. Depsite of her petite physique, she acts mature and can persuade people a lot better than others.
Age unknown.





Equa is a self-claimed "true-born werewolf". She isn't exactly a werewolf but both of her parents were, inherting full werewolf abilities without much drawbacks of being one. She is a dedicated member of Cryo police and aims to find cure for werewolf curse.


Age 72.





Baba is a mercenary who is initially a caretaker of Ezona mercenary division. As a war breaks out and Eton mercenary guild HQ relocates to Ezona, he is relived of his duty as a caretaker and is asked to assist Juan and Co. He is completely loyal to Leona the guild master.


Age 39.

Your game looks pretty different, mostly because of the art choices, but i look forward to see this project completed.


Although 90% is a lot done, and i'm wondering what else it needs to be completed.

Each NPC, except for guards and default servants, have their own faces. So, it takes more time to place NPCs. Once the world is done, the next step would be adding more side quests to NPCs.


There are also 3 more dungeons to complete as well as adding associated quests to them.


And then working on plot branch 2 and 3 quests. Plot branch 1 is complete actually, so the game - can be - completed by chosing plot 1 path.


The current roadmap is like this.


~ ver 0.4.0: I aim to finalize skills and action animations. Finish the game world.


Ver 0.4.1 ~ 0.5.0 : Adding non-story side quests.


Ver 0.5.1 ~ 0.6.0 : Add plot branch 2


Ver 0.6.1 ~ 0.7.0 : Add plot branch 3


Ver 0.7.1 ~ 0.8.0 : Add the game to Steam greenlight and actively seek testers to iron out bugs.


Ver 0.9.1 ~ final release 1.0.0 : Polishing (Adding more CG arts).


Meanwhile, here are more screenshots.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
