Alternate Title Picture
F.A.Q.
What is Legacy? Legacy is a fantasy RPG focused around the turmoil of Illyria, a mystical land that is under the control of The Shadowborn. The overall story line is still in development.
What engine is Legacy made on? Hymns of Illyria is going to be made using the RPG Maker VX Ace engine.
Is this a serious project? Of course it is, and with this intent comes quite a few challenges and hurtles that we must overcome. Development could take up to a year or two to finish.
What should I expect to see from this project? Hymns of Illyria is going to be a fantasy RPG that will be made in a similar fashion to the older Final Fantasy games, in the way that there's an evil villain, some dungeons and a good guy that has to run through all of the challenges he is faced with in order to save the world from total destruction. Legacy will have it's own unique characters, plot and setting, though, so don't worry about copyright issues with us. Originality will be key to our success.
What features should I expect to be present in this game? Hymns of Illyria will boast a few new features, and a few old ones. These include, but are not limited to, the Sapphire Battle System, a bazaar to sell items and craft more powerful versions, an in-depth puzzle system within the dungeons of the game, a Massive Open World Format and a deep story that is sure to captivate and entrance you into the world of Illyria.
What, or who, are you looking for to help you with Legacy's development? Well, all good RPGs need a team of artists, scripters, character designers, script-writers, voice-actors (okay, maybe not voice actors for this) and such, so that is also what I am looking for. There will be roles that will need to be filled, each with their own special areas of designing for the game. See the 'Cast & Crew' section for more.
What are your plans for Legacy, as far as pricing goes? The Development team has decided that our first game will be free, even if further games within the series will not be. If you would like to donate to the team for aid in the projects, you may do so. Contact NathanW if you wish to Donate. While Hymns of Illyria will be free, there may be add-ons that may not be, but these will always be cost-effective, and no more than $10.00 for a full release or $2.00 for a DLC-type addition to an existing game. We will strive to make games of the utmost quality, regardless of whether they are free or not.

The Story Behind It All
New Story in development...
Character Bios
(Soon To Be Renamed) Protagonist
The main character. A student of the blade and a manipulator of magic, this young man found himself strewn in the midst of the chaos that broke the realm. He will find it to be a difficult path, with plenty of puzzles to solve, people to meet and evil to beat. He travels with Syrea, an elven archer.
Syrea
An elvish woman who was saved by Loki and travels with him in debt of her life to him. She is a capable healer and uses the bow in battle. Very quiet and introverted, she has very few lines in the game, but she does a lot to help the party out.
Mysterious Kitsune
No one knows who this lady is, but she has begun a hunt that will end in only one way. Though she is a master of stealth and assassinry, she lacks the means to hide from our heroes forever. It is only a matter of time before she is seen.Fayte
"The goddess Fayte was once mortal like us, but she shed her mortal shell upon the fall of Illyria long ago, to watch over us from the heavens. It was she who split the Dark Tablet into four and entrusted them to the guardian temples. It was she who brought us the light." -An old proverb on Fayte, Goddess of the Light.

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.
