Master of the Wind [Complete RMXP game]

[The Nameless One]

I downloaded the game last week, and am right in the middle of Arc VII.

All I have to say is wow. It's amazing how much effort was put into this game. The dungeon designs in particular were quite excellent; they've inspired me to explore

new possibilities and add a new layer of depth to my own game.

To anyone looking to download it, do it. The mapping might be a little rough at the begging, but it's all worth it by the end.

@TheNamelessOne: Thanks!

I'm all done with the Let's Play series for Clean Slate, the prequel to this game that has been unavailable until now. You can head to the complete (16 hour) playlist



, although I wouldn't recommend watching it in one sitting unless you're hardcore.It was a nice experience...hadn't played this for ages and forgot large portions of the story. And for you guys, I suspect it will make all the cameos and off-hand references to backstory in MotW more enjoyable. So if you're interested, click the link and enjoy yourselves - I didn't abandon this idea just cause it vanished from the profile feed. I got *****ed out because it was supposedly spam or something...guess I should have thrown some tables instead, that's a much more worthwhile use of the feature.

I will be hardcore one day and watch it in one day! ... Okay maybe not, but I look forward to watching it soon. I just need to free up some time! Must have been fun to replay it and either go "man past self, you were really stupid" or "wow past self, I underestimated you!"

Must have been fun to replay it and either go "man past self, you were really stupid" or "wow past self, I underestimated you!"

I'd say the first reaction was pretty common for the first half and then in the second half, I started feeling the second response. But I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself, I did start that game 11 years ago, I was much younger!

So far, the videos have been good for at least one thing- fanart! Here's some stuff I got just today, featuring Arius and Lysander. It's CG art by MotWFan.

And...because I realized I haven't posted any here, I'll add some Master of the Wind fanart as well...there's quite a lot, but I'll keep it to just a handful.

I watched the Let's Play of Clean Slate, and it was great looking at the previous cast still kick ass in MotW now that we've seen what they've been through in Clean Slate. I mean I don't know if it's because I've never read enough epics or what, but I thought some scenes in there still grip me even if it's from 11 years ago.

Spoiler

For one, the last part where Lysander's given the chance to mend his ways and lead the world towards peace, while I kind of wish he took it, his turning down was really justified in light of all he has done and become, and that really made things intense in the last part. Especially the part where his world practically comes crashing down on him. Damn.

I'm going to have to play Master of the Wind again to see how many people I can recognize from Clean Slate. This time round I'm going to do those History puzzles without actually trying to make heads and tails of them! Then I'm going to get to the part with Lock, Stock and TSB, and imagine TSB speaking like Arnold.

One of the best games on RMXP!

Played it since its release. I will download again to play.

 

[Shadowfire]

Hi Master of the Wind faithful! For too long we've been keeping you in the dark about a Master of the Wind Remake. Volrath and I have been discussing it at great length and we've decided to take the remake in a new direction from the original game. One we are very excited about and we hope you (the fans) will also be excited for too!

I plan on revealing the full details in a few days but for now I have a teaser image to wet your appetite

Spoiler

Who could this mysterious figure be?

 

[Nirwanda]

I'm not sure  what to think of this. On one hand I'm very glad you're doing something MotW related, on the other it saddens me a little that it's a remake instead of something completely original. (I really really wanted to give you guys money for World remade >_<)

In any case, I wish you best of luck on this new endeavor,  and I hope you're succesful with it.

 

[Stoic]

It's cool. We got something new in the works too. Although it's not World Remade.

Spoiler

Another mysterious figure emerges

Spoiler

And another

Spoiler

And ANOTHER!!

Who could they be?

 

[C-C-C-Cashmere (old)]

This is exciting stuff yet I have no idea who any of these figures might be. It looks like one has a bandanna and beads. Spiky hair... I got nothing.


I really want to know.

 

[Stoic]

I'm very excited to announce the new direction we'll be taking Master of the Wind in! That is... Mistress of the Wind!

When Volrath and I were discussing revising the game we knew we'd be updating the graphics, story and gameplay. But it didn't feel like enough. We wanted to do something that would fundamentally differentiate the Remake from the original game.

Then we had a thought. What if we reversed the genders of Shroud and Stoic? We were instantly very excited about the idea of writing our dynamic duo as female characters. But it still didn't seem like enough. And then it hit us. What if we did it for ALL OF THE CHARACTERS!! A gender bender of global proportions the kind never seen before! And at that very moment Mistress of the Wind became a thing!

Not wanting to waste anytime, I asked Maki to draft up art for the main cast. She delivered the amazing piece you see above. From the left-to-right you can see our titular heroes TRANSFORMED into their male/female counterparts.

I hope you're all as excited as we are about Mistress of the Wind! I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

You're going the ghostbusters way? Let me first say, that I'm immediately suspicious of such an announcement being made on april first...just saying.

Assuming this isn't an overly elaborate prank (Makio-Kuta really outdid herself this time, that artwork is gorgeous), that's a very bold move. Will it encompass all characters? There are, after all some supporting characters that would require it, unless you want to severely alter their story arc.

In any case, I'm very cautiosly hyped about it.

 

[Stoic]

Yep all the character genders will be swapped. I wasn't kidding about it affecting everyone in Solest. That goes for Arcadius and Perditia too!

 

[Makio-Kuta]

Very excited to have been asked to help out with this by working on the promo art! I hope everyone likes the designs and are as hyped as I am! <3

[amerk]

So to clarify, there is no connection between this and the last game? Or is it more like a reboot of the game, but a semi sequel at the same time?

 

[Makio-Kuta]

When I was approached this was for an April Fools joke, but they've never officially stated that anywhere so... Maybe they are really gonna do it *crosses fingers* I need Lady Finley to be canon...

 

[amerk]

Dammit, I didn't think about how this all occurred on the last day of March. Hoping not, but you're probably right about it being an April Fool's joke.

 

[C-C-C-Cashmere]

Well, I think it'd be cool as a spinoff. Like a visual novel or something. I know Makio's portraits will be exceptionally effective for that, since April Was a Fool is so exceptionally cute-looking. A Mistress of the Wind VN would fare very greatly I might think.
