It mostly uses Default RTP, but comes with a few custom songs, and some plugins!
This game will be free, once it's fully released. It's free right now, too. So you can play it if you want! Though, the whole game isn't finished...
There are only a few playable chapters as of currently.
If you wish to know information about this game, open the Spoiler below!

- You play this game like a regular RPG Maker game, but there will also be a few out-of-battle puzzles and mini-games.
Most of the RNG in this game is removed, such as damage variance, critical hits, missing, dodging, state durations, and even the chance to apply an effect is 100%. Because of this, the game is very strategic and requires a strategy to beat. The only random element is the attacks that the enemy chooses from.
Random encounters in the game do not give EXP, but they do give Doubloons. (the currency)
All of the EXP in this game comes from forced fights, as well as quests. (even some side ones)
The main character of this game is Norman, who is a Mage.
He meets another character in the game, that ends up joining him, which is Lily.
Around 2+ hours of gameplay.
The game is very story-rich, and there are some fun characters to laugh at, as well as some custom music to listen to.
In the future, there will also be a new class feature called the "Joint Class", exclusive to the Mage type classes. You obtain a Joint Class when you combine two elements into one. For example, if you combine the Fire Mage with the Cryo Mage, you will become a Water Mage.
There are also a lot of secrets in this game. In the future, I plan to have a secret chapter, that you can play once you find at least one secret in every single chapter.
There will be a total of 7 Chapters, and the game's release date is still unknown.

PLOT
- Spoiler Alert: The following is a description of the entirety of the game's content. If you wish to play this game, you can play it before reading this. Nevertheless, enjoy!
Chapter 1: Pirates and Magic!
The story of the game takes place in the pirate ages, in the years 1600 through 1677. Pirates live in this world, but a certain island was created by the god of this world, bringing magic into the world as well. Some pirates decided to use this magic, to become even stronger, and some pirates despise magic, and never use it at all. Norman's born into the world by his parents.
He lives in the town of Mithan together with his parents. Norman decides to go outside and visit the castle. He then receives a quest from the King of the town. The quest is to defeat a group of orcs. Norman finds the orcs, but he also finds a girl that is being attacked by these orcs. He fights the Orcs, to save that girl from danger, but she shows him very strong Ice powers. After the battle, she introduces herself as Lily and explains that she is Norman's childhood friend.
There is a flashback scene of Norman saving her from some bullies.
After the flashback, Norman realizes he has to go back to the King, to complete his quest. He waves goodbye to Lily, and then she realizes he's leaving. She asks him to join his party, to which he agrees, telling her "The more, the merrier!".
They return together to the King, and he gives another quest to Norman, telling him about an unconscious man lying on the beach. They go to the beach and look for the man. They find him and decide to bring him some fresh water to get him to wake up.
He identifies himself as the Captain of a ship and explains that his ship has sunken during battle, but he tells the two about another ship, that is soon going to set sail to attack the enemy ship. Norman and Lily aboard the ship, and find out that the enemy has already invaded that ship! They defeat enemy pirates, and eventually find the enemy captain, named Nimbus, and defeat him in battle. He then reveals that he is a part of the Dark Zealots cult and that their goal is to poison the entire world, leaving nothing alive. Nimbus teleports away and Norman concludes that they won.
They return to the Captain, and he tells them about a small pirate town that needs their help, so they agree and sail there.
They eventually arrive at this pirate town, also known as Larton. Norman and Lily find a hotel owner that stands right outside his hotel and they ask him what's wrong. He says that he had to close down the hotel, because of a pirate group called the Killer Whales, that were stealing the supplies of said hotel. He tells them about a possible location of their hideout, the Shark Isle.
So they go there, but they don't find it, they instead get attacked by the native Sharkonians! They defeat them and travel further. They arrive in Seadog Bay and find the Killer Whales' hideout. They find many chests in this hideout and collect the loot, which appears to be stolen things from Larton. They travel further through the hideout and encounter a pirate duo, named Pongu and Jacky. Norman and Lily hide from them and listen in on their conversation. After the conversation is over, the pirate duo starts walking over to their boss, but they notice Norman and Lily. They then realize that they're not a part of the Killer Whales. Pongu and Jacky then go to their boss, to notify him of the intruders.
Norman and Lily then enter the room of the boss, and they fight with Pongu and Jacky. It was a difficult battle, but they eventually win.
They bring the hotel supplies back to the owner. The hotel is opened up, and they decide to enter it. They find a pool, that they go in, and Norman and Lily then talk about their plans. They have decided to visit Glaciandia, to meet Lily's master, Polarius.
They ask the Captain to sail over there, he comments it might be a bit too far, but they travel there anyway. They enter the ship, and while on the way to Glaciandia, they talk about all the things they could do together with Polarius.
But suddenly, a Demon appears in the sky. The Demon introduces himself as Naki and explains his entire plan, saying that he needs Norman's brother for a ritual, to sacrifice him and obtain his immense powers.
He then notes that they are trying to stop his plans, so he decides to get rid of them, right there and then. He fires a fireball at the ship, causing it to start burning.
Norman loses consciousness, and wakes up after many hours, landing on a small island.
SETTING OF THE GAME
- At the beginning of all times, there was a God, a very bored one. One day, he thought about creating an island with people on it, but he was bored with having just one island, so he created more... After about 1600 years, things still weren't that interesting for him, so he decided to create an island containing magic! That island was known as Glaciandia. On it, there was a strong mage named Polarius... He ventured to a massive desert, known as the island Alluar, to fight an enormous Dragon... During the battle, the Dragon attacked with a powerful poisonous breath... And turned a part of the Alluar desert into a poisoned one... At some point after the battle, a cult named Dark Zealots is founded, and they start recruiting members to it, their ultimate goal being to help revive the Dragon. Members that are a part of this cult, keep summoning more and more poison onto the lands, aiding the Dragon in its quest of ravaging the lands. After a few years, the Demon World is formed, created by a Demon named Khazar, as he wanted to have a place to live in. He meets other Demons, and recruits them to his Demon World, eventually gaining a massive army. After another few years, Polarius returns to the same location, to fight the Dragon, but doesn't find it there. He instead finds a little girl named Lily, who he decides to be a master of, and he teaches her Ice Magic. At some point, a group of pirates called the Killer Whales is formed, and they start plundering every town that they can find, starting from Larton. Norman, the hero we play as, who also wishes to save his brother from a prophecy, has to save these islands, by visiting them all and defeating members of the Dark Zealots cult.
