RMMV Dungeon Dreams

[WereWorld]

Hello, everyone.
I'm working on "Dungeon Dreams":

A JRPG that features:
ROGUELIKE elements
DATING SIM system
TOWN BUILDING
NON LINEAR plot
OPEN-ENDED quest system

Plot Summary
Ecallia. A town visited my many adventurers. Here lies the Dungeon, rumored to be the prison of the so-called "Forsaken God". Either a prison, or a lair, and no one knows what that monster may be doing down there. All we know is that everytime you enter, its structure is different. And his magic is so strong that not only precious loot and monsters are generated inside, but the "Dungeon Curse" is spreading faster affecting all the Ecallians.
You're the new adventurer in town, and your story is up to you.
Does the answer lie in the last floor of the Dungeon? Or in a peaceful life in Town, perhaps with a girlfriend and new friends?

About the town
Different Jobs to earn gold
Day-Night Cycle
Each NPC has their own routine (some may leave or arrive later)
Open-ended quests that have real impact on the game world
Buy furniture at Nina's shop
Invest in building opportunities at the carpenter's

The main character
You're the main character. You get to write his story, from the background to one of the possible endings.
Here's a quick video about character creation and how it affects the game (it's less than 1 min long)

Meet some of the other characters

Grant is the protagonist's rival - they'll be competing in gaining popularity.

Some people enjoy numbers:
65 titled sub-quests
14 recruitable party members + 10 temporary guests/summons
5 romance options
38 classes
45 pieces of furniture
8 building opportunities
350+ pieces of equipment
And counting! (all numbers are from the current demo I'm having tested)

A few final comments:
I originally made this game in Rpgmaker2003 back in 2007, but now I’m remaking it!
I love working with RpgmakerMV. I find it incredibly flexible. I'm using Garageband to make the music, and I'm paying an artist to add some customized busts - but this (the graphics department) is going to be though on my skills alone.
Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun making this game! And I just hope that people like me will enjoy playing it!
It's kind of a "tribute" to some of the games I grew up with, so please allow me to cite my influences:
Izuna, Persona 3/4, Saga Frontier, Growlanser 3, Thousand Arms, Suikoden, Rune Factory, The Guided Fate Paradox / Awakened Fate Ultimatum, Baldur’s Gate 2, Dragon Age 2.
My favourite game is "Azure Dreams" from PS1.

Thank you so much for your attention, and I hope I didn't take too much of your time.


I will be crediting these people and offering them final copies: (please contact me if I'm forgetting anyone - I'll be double/triple checking again)

Hello,

Demo out soon! =)

 

[MMMm]

Do I only get to date one person, or can we have multiples? I want to enter dungeons with my three wives.

 

[WereWorld]

Ahah!
Characters interact with each other, so: it's possible to date multiple girls, but you have to be smart.
For example, if you ask a girl out in front of another one, and you're romantically involved in both of them, the second one will get mad.

Girls get jealous and argue with each other, but then it's up to the player to make peace doing the right choices.

There's only one girl who doesn't really mind. Let's say she's "open-minded":

We have a demo out, in case anyone's interested.

Any feedback is appreciated!

I gave the demo a try today and I'm loving this!!
I love rpg games where you can build/furniture your place and ofc have some sort of relationship with the npcs walking around!
(I would love it if one day you would make it so we can decide the gender of our character.. there's some cool boys that I really liked in the game too! I would love to get closerrrr to them! XD)

Some stuff/bugs I better mention too:
- After you get the little quest about finding the sister of the guy that was eating in the restaurant, and after you find her and she is gone (to her brother I'm guessing) you still get the dialogue if you approach some other girls. In particular I found this happening with one girl in the temple and one in the furniture/book shop
- I got a "FAILED TO LOAD ERROR" when I tried to enter Samuel's home
- The old lady in the lovely charm kept walking in between the green tables on the left side of the shop lol

I look forward to see updates to the game! I'll be keeping an eye on this game!

I like it. Always great to see people trying new and different things in RPG Maker.

Thank you so much for the honest feedback! It means a lot, and I'm so glad that you're having fun in Ecallia! I'd really like to make it so that you can create the MC or simply switch gender in the beginning (fun fact: I already have the female version ready, because there's a special item in-game that will turn you into a woman for a few seconds).
As you can imagine, this means a lot of work editing all quests and interactions in the game. But never say never. I'm having a blast making this game and the potential/ideas are plenty.

Who are your favourite characters, then? =)

Thanks for the bugs. Working on them right now.
By the way, if you played all the way to the last day, why don't you send me your final score? =) I'll put you in the raffle!

I like it. Always great to see people trying new and different things in RPG Maker.

Thank you for finding the time to try Dungeon Dreams. Rpg Maker is a great, flexible tool, and I'm having lots of fun with it. I actually already made this game in Rpgmaker2003 but with MV it feels gorgeous and with endless possibilities.
Same here, if you reached the end of the demo, feel free to share your final results =)

This Game is Great, but in the Dungeon the monster i think is too aggresive lol. and Maybe you can add map for the dungeon. starting from black fog and if we already go there we can see the map.

Btw how to get the password to bypass the Day11? or Is it limited? Thanks for making this game. I love azure dreams in PS1 too.

Thanks for playing! It's nice to meet more Azure Dreams fans!
The password is there because, for now, that's how the demo ends.
=)
I'd like to add the map for the Dungeon, but I'm not able to do it unless I find a plugin that fits.
How was your final score? Do you want to submit it to try and win a full copy of the game? =)

 

[Racing_Lontong]

where to post the screenshot? im already got score of 400

Edit: NVM im already tweet to your twitter account with #dungeondreamsrpg
Is it right?

 

[WereWorld]

Congratulations, well played! =)
Yes, twitter's perfect.
If you want/like, I'd love to read some feedback about what you enjoyed (or didn't) in the game. You can send me a PM anywhere or email gardenofdreamsrpg@gmail.com
