I've been keeping busy the past few weeks. I hammered out some further details with the story and implemented some new cutscenes at the beginning of the game to ramp up the drama and spectacle a bit. I've also been working on mapping the Tomb of Anubis out right now, one of the dungeons you will find and explore on your adventure.

I'm testing out puzzle elements and combing platforming with traps. This is a WIP, but all feedback is welcome.

Wow. Looks great. Good job. Im really anxious to play this.

Happy Saturday everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

I wanted to share some progress on the opening Prologue. If anyone has been following along, my writing skills are admittedly not my strong suit. However, I've been working on the opening section of my game, that sets up the rest of the story.

Here's the tagline so far: "Our hero suffers a grizzly fate after he unleashes the mighty Blight Demon from his prison.

You're greeted by Death in the Spirit Realm, only to be swiftly kicked out and sent to Purgatory for your actions.

You must seek redemption and return your soul to rest by slaying the Blight Demon and restoring peace to Serenity Falls."

Please let me know what you guys think... I'm trying to keep it short and sweet, to the point. I'm not a big fan of opening sequences that overstay their welcome or try to over-explain everything to the player upfront. Any and all feedback is valuable, so I'm open to suggestions.

That was awesome! But I need to ask you something:
1) About the jump, it's better than other's (some plugins can jump not freely, like RPG games. And there are some of the games can jump freely, like platform games.) plugin, how did you make jump just like the video? Is it a plugin? Or not?
2) About Climb (like a robe, ladder, etc...), How did you make it? Is it a plugin? Or not?
Just send me an email: vegetapowerup@gmail.com
Detail: I am doing a project just like you, but using a level up and some technique.

Holy crap. This looks really good. One of the most professional-looking RPG Maker games ive seen in a while. Congratulations.

Hi everyone, thanks for the kind words. I've been working hard the past few weeks, but wanted to keep you all updated. So I took a stab at making a teaser-trailer yesterday. I've never had any experience with video editing, so it was certainly a learning process. I have a new found respect for those who create trailers for a living, it's definitely an art... especially for game-trailers, where you're the director, the actor, and the producer all at the same time. I feel there's room for improvement, but let me know what you guys think!



Yoooo! That looks fantastic! The bits of humour are just my flavor too! Nice! Can't wait to play this!
Thank you! Admittedly, writing is not really my strong-suit, so I tried to keep the dialog really short and simple. Glad the humor wasn't too dark, haha.

That was awesome! But I need to ask you something:
1) About the jump, it's better than other's (some plugins can jump not freely, like RPG games. And there are some of the games can jump freely, like platform games.) plugin, how did you make jump just like the video? Is it a plugin? Or not?

Both the jump and climbing systems are built from the ground up for Odyssey. Unfortunately, it's not a plugin or anything I can easily share, as both systems are designed and integrated with the rest of my action battle system.

it's amazing what you can do with this program.

I agree, I love seeing what people are capable of doing with RPG Maker. Limitations breed creativity!

Holy crap. This looks really good. One of the most professional-looking RPG Maker games ive seen in a while. Congratulations.
Thanks you, I'm really hoping to release a playable demo soon!

Looks awesome! :2k31:

Sounds pretty epic, I can't wait to see what you've been working on!

great work ace of spades! Very inspiring.like wise writing is not my strong point so coming up with clever dialog and situations is my struggle at the moment.

i find I am usually drained by the time I get home from work and then spend time on pixel art, my brain usually can’t come up with the clever bits I need! Haha

Awesome stuff, I will purchase your game upon release to support your progress!

Hello, your work on Odyssey is very good.

I would like to know if you will offer make available a running, jumping, swimming, climbing and battle system? This system is ahead of its time.

I would like to play the beta of your game.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

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.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
