Introduction

Hey everyone, this is my game Radiant Arc made with RPG Maker VX Ace. This is my first game and I originally planned to not use RPG Maker seriously (used a few default maps at start of game) but after a few days, I got hooked and started to create it seriously. The game was going well until the announcement of RPG Maker MV. As of now, I am recreating this game in RPG Maker MV with an even more serious attitude with a proper writer. This game was created to recreate an old school RPG such as Final Fantasy IV. I am posting my game here with the hope of feedback to help me make a better version in MV. 

Gameplay

Radiant Arc is an old-school style fantasy RPG similar to old Final Fantasy games. It uses an ATB system with side-view attacks. As the game progresses, you will unlock more characters for the party. As you gain more, you can swap out members (except the main character) to create a suitable team composition fit to your needs. The game is designed to require little grinding as by progressing the story, the player should generate enough exp and rewards.

Synopsis

History tells a tale, of a grand treasure

bestowed upon the world; the Grand Crystal.

It emanated power to protect those who

possessed it - but also granted a destructive

power to the wielder. The Guild of Light

sought to keep the greater power from

falling into the wrong hands, so they

held it in safety.

However…

Savage, unworldly beings known as Demons

wreaked havoc and invaded the Guild, in order

to obtain the greater power they lustfully sought.

As a countermeasure, the crystal was split into

7 parts and was scattered throughout the world.

This however, did not stop the Demons from

purging all life from the world.

Legends speak of…

A legendary hero,

with a power gifted from the heavens above,

to smite the demons that plague the lands,

and to restore…

The Grand Crystal.

Filesize is a bit big due to use of voices and using .wav files.

The main reasons Remakes are made is to improve them and put them on a different platform while still keeping the main Story, Gameplay, and mechanics the same.

The only one of those you haven't done/aren't planning to is putting it onto a new platform. I'm sure mobile and Mac players would love to experience this game, so putting the game out for them is something that you should really consider.

Oh yea! Totally forgot! I'll make a Mac version as well at least, hopefully it can work on mobile, it was laggy when I tried porting something from MV.

This is exactly like what I'm making too.

Mine is going to be remade in MV once released :)

I wish you luck in development!

Sounds great.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
