My first project thread ever *shivers*
Opening:
This game was originally planned for the birthday bash event, but due to time constraints I asked for it to be moved to the project development sub forum.
For the event I chose to bring back from the dead one of my earliest concepts; in "The messenger and the cursed one" you'll take the role of Riev, a misterious wanderer who has to deliver a life or death message. He is joined by a cursed woman, and hounded at every step by brigands and law enforcement alike for there is a price on his head. The story is mostly a tale of friendship I don't intend to make some grand epic, but to make you care about these people. Hopefully, I've succeded at least partially. The original concept included a branching storyline, but I've settled on one storyline during the early develpment stages of the game and I'm very happy with it. So now it'll be a linear town-dungeon-town deal, with both dungeon crawling and sidequesting included. It's not a very revolutionary game, I admit.
Character Bios:
Riev
A messenger commited to his cause, he may seems too obstinate and single minded at times and he struggles to understand that duty and honor don't trump common sense and good will. Still, his heart is in the right place.
During battle Riev is a jack of all trades, able to use magic and melee skills, he'll be there to support whatever other party members need of him.
Gia
A mercenary with a misterious past and a carefree attitude, she tries to get Riev to smile more, which will not always be appreciated.
In battles Gia is a stereotipical warrior, big and tough, but known to faint when a rabbit is pulled out of a hat in her nearby area, her curse actually bolsters this as she takes an extra 25% magic damage.
Soanna
An envoy of the mage's guild in the town of Levin, she joins the duo in their attempt to protect the town from orc attacks. Scatterbrained, yet extremely intelligent and a little ruthless Soanna will puzzle (and even entice a little) Riev.
As magic user, Soanna is exactly what you would expect: a glass cannon, nonetheless she's very powerful and her spells will be a necessity in order to explore the forests of Levin.
Screenshots:
A very determined hero
He ain't so hot in combat though.
Don't be a jerk, Riev.
She knows her stuff.
A bleak morning.
Ever played Luxaren Allure?
Testimonial:
"I liked talking to the hermit's cat. It was cute" - Tenshi
Demo:
Once you talk to Aldes after meeting the thieves guild PR guy the demo is officially over. But there is quite a bit of city for you to explore if you haven't done so already.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
