RMMV Lantern of Worlds

[Fasoldgames]

​

Having been in the Early Project section of the forum, Lantern of Worlds is now ready to be moved to the Project development section!

Lantern of Worlds is a computer game based on Arabian mythology and the tales of 1001 Nights. It is a fantasy RPG inspired by older games like Quest for Glory and Eye of the Beholder. The most important aspect of the game is storytelling and narration, combined with a simple to understand combat system.

​

In the game, you are one of the royal adventurers of king Valdemar of Idunia. You you are send on a diplomatic mission to the courts of Sultan Mehmet the Magnificent.

On your way there, however, dark forces plot your undoing, and you are left in the middle of the ocean, in a small lifeboat, with nothing but your wits and your determination to survive.

Luckily, you spot an island in the distance...a desert island, where many adventures await you!

​

In the game, you will travel through a great desert, fighting monsters and bandits, finding ancient tombs, crumbling temples and glittering oases.

You will gain experience and become more powerful, you will find weapons of both mundane and arcane quality, and you will embark on dangerous quests that will hopefully aid you in escaping the great desert alive.

But during during your adventure, you will find that great events have been set in motion, and that you have a grand role to play in the undoing, or salvation, of the kingdom of Idunia, and indeed, the world!

​

Lantern of Worlds is supposed to be the first in a series of games, like a series of Fantasy books, that spans several world mythologies.

The first game will take place in a desert setting, based on Arabian mythology and 1001 Nights.

The second game will take place in a land based on Slavic mythology, a place of mist and moonlight, of distant howling of wolves and red eyes lighting up in the darkness.

The third game will take place in a land of Greek mythology, of sunlit plains, glittering oceans and mysterious islands, where you will find wonders beyond imagining.

And the games after that? Who will know where we will venture. But great adventures undoubtedly await!

​

In the demo of the game, you will start at the very beginning. At the Great Tournament, where you must do battle to become the new Royal Adventurer of Idunia.

Woah, your game looks amazing) Please, continue to work on)

 

[Fasoldgames]

Thanks! Will do!

Currently working on a story branch with a magic carpet, that will take the player to a kingdom in the clouds, with
strange, magical cloud islands!

I like the original graphics. Good luck

 

[Fasoldgames]

Thanks!

Oh, and by the way, here's an introduction movie I made for the game. It tells the story of the dark dream of king Valdemar.

It works very well.

 

[Fasoldgames]

Thanks, more coming in the future!

A new trailer for the game, by LoosPls. Also working on the Cloud Gardens and Cloud Palace, places you can visit via flying carpet.

I grew up playing EoB, Dungeon Master and Might & Magic series (which your character art reminds me of btw).. Love 1001 Nights tales since childhood. And having completed QfG1 a month ago, I think I can finally say: my body is ready Bring on Lantern of Words!

PS:
Let us know if you need feedback or beta testers. Carry on Fasoldgames!

 

[Fasoldgames]

Thanks!
Working at the moment on some smaller things, but I could really use beta testers in the near future!

If you just completed QfG1, I can really recommend Quest for Glory 4 : Shadows of Darkness. My favorite game of all time!

I never finished QfG 2, the city maze thing was a bit much, but I did finish QfG 3. One thing I would love to incorporate in my game as well
is the ability to carry over the hero to next game, like in Quest for Glory.
(that is the only way to play the Paladin in QfG4 too, if I remember correctly)

 

[Fasoldgames]

A new demo is out! With bug fixes and new female voice acting. Also, you can now visit the first part of the
Great Desert in the demo!

It is available here: https://gamejolt.com/games/LegendsofIdunia/239550

But what I could really use right now, is beta testers! And people willing to really point out all the flaws in the game, as strongly as possible!
That is the fastest way for me to learn!

Best regards and thanks,

Fasold

 

[Fasoldgames]

The game is progressing nicely, here are some new Hero images!

But.....testers anyone? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?
I really need some testers who are willing to be ruthless and unforgiving!

'I shall destroy thee and torch thy game', something along those lines!

Sadly, my budget is dwindling and I am unable to pay you, but you will be credited and have my everlasting
gratitude!
(of which I don't know the current market value, but it should be quite high indeed)

Sadly I don't have time to be a proper tester but I've played the demo and sent you some feedback (check your Conversations inbox). Hope the others will follow and you'll find testers soon. This project definitely deserves it.

PS These new character portraits are pretty awesome

 

[Fasoldgames]

Thanks

And thanks once more for your great feedback! I'm working on the character creation now, and I can see it is indeed much better when you can skip through the lines and voice acting!

I'll tone down the full voice acting in the game too. I wasn't really thinking about it when I did it, just: 'What the heck, I did this, I might as well do everything'

Best regards,

Fasold

Looks amazing!

 

[Fasoldgames]

Thanks!
Busy working on implementing the advice and criticisms of Milk Bar Prophet, which really make the game better!
I hope to upload a new demo soon, with some new images and an updated story system!

 

[Fasoldgames]

Almost, almost done with the improvements!

Busy with some new voice actors, and the last bit of fine tuning. I hope to publish the game somewhere next month!

Meanwhile, here are some of the new Skill Icons.

Hear ye, hear ye!

The king is looking for volunteers! Brave men and women who wish to try their might and magic at the game Lantern of Worlds!

This game, created by the foul blackguard Fasold, is a devious thing, threatening to overthrow law and order in the kingdom of Idunia. Farmers and craftsmen have been seen playing it and forgetting their duties, soldiers have left their posts, heroes have disappeared without a trace. All to play this devious game.

Now, the king wishes YOU to play it, to find its weaknesses, its flaws, and destroy it with biting criticism!
Save the kingdom of Idunia, and be rewarded the grand sum of 5 gold coins from the royal coffers!

(Exchange rate: 5 gold coins = 5 USD)

Okay, without the above nonsense this time I'm looking for play testers and will pay $5 in exchange for criticism. I would pay more, but the royal coffers are sadly filled with little more than cobwebs at the moment...

Thanks!
