Story:


It has been 50 years since the great destruction brought by the nuclear war. Despite the catastrophic damage and death,


mankind has somehow managed to survive. After the war between the forces of Law and Chaos, one hero managed to


unify the survivors and bring balance to Japan. The survivors finally began to rebuild. However, all was not well.


The demons were still a threat to humanity. Japan's renewed prosperity also caught they eye of other surviving nations.


The European Federation, and New Soviet Union, both had their eyes on Japan and its resources. 3 Years ago,


the hero was killed while fighting demons. All priorities were then focused on finding a replacement leader.


However, no one could agree on who should lead, and Japan soon fell into a state of chaos, with the hero's former


subordinates becoming warlords who fought for power and territory.


The Federation took advantage of the chaos, and launched an invasion of Japan's mainland. While the Federation was


occupied with this, the Soviets captured the smaller island territories. The Federation then offered the regional lords


some autonomy in exchange for driving the Soviets from the islands. In just one month, Japan was conquered


by the Federation.


With most of its troops busy fighting the Soviets in Europe, and the rest keeping Japan under its rule, the Federation gave the


warlords the task of keeping the demons under control. They were also tasked with recovering pre destruction technology and artifacts.


Rather than risk their own resources on these tasks, the lords created new mercenary groups to do the work for them.


These were called hunter clans.


Recently, the Federation began hearing rumors of an artifact that could grant its user powers that rival even God or Lucifer. 


The Federation ordered the lord of Okinawa, to begin searching for this artifact. Unconcerned with the demands of the Federation,


lord Takuya, gave the job to several freelancers, whom recently left the Black Cat clan.


Their search has led them to a a small island cave off the south shore of Okinawa.....


Setting:


the game will take place between the original smt, and stmt 2. It will take place in the wastelands of Okinawa. Knowledge of these games is not required. The story will follow a group of freelance Hunters, who merge with a dysfunctional hunter clan. The new side story will feature the ability to recruit demons, and add them to the party. Both stories will feature fights between demons and other survivors. Dungeons will take place in both natural formations, such as caves, and ruined buildings and other man made structures. Gameplay


is first person, with yanfly's addons.


Characters:

Haruka Rotama:
Age: 17
Alignment: ???
Origin: Japan Mainland



A former member of the Black Cat Clan. She left along with Joshiro, and Yin, after an internal dispute. Haruka is skilled with curative magic, and has considerable experience for her age. Haruka, is a bit of a wild card. Sometimes thoughtful and understanding, and at others belligerent and hot headed. Currently working freelance while trying to find what she


really wants. Working on the mainland as a freelancer proved to be a very tough competition, so she set off to Okinawa to find work. After a chance meeting with lord Takuya, who


offered her a job she could not refuse, she unknowingly set out for her toughest job yet.

Joshiro Niwa:
Age: 19
Alignment: Law
Origin: Japan Mainland

A former member of the Black Cat Clan. He left along with Haruka and Yin after an internal dispute.
Joshiro Is the heavy armor of the team, and attacks with close range weapons. Hot headed, he tends to act with out thinking. Joshiro has been working with Yin for several years now, and with Haruka, for about a year. Currently, he is working freelance. Joshiro was starting to get bored from the dull jobs they were receiving as freelancers, but meeting lord Takuya has sparked his interest in the rumors floating around about the artifact the Federation is trying to find. Joshiro is one of the few who believes the rumors of the godly artifact.

Yin Yano:
Age: 21
Alignment: Law
Origin: Japan Mainland

A former member of the Black Cat Clan. He left along with Haruka and Joshiro after an internal dispute. Yin is a Gunman, who prefers to use assault weapons like shotguns and


machine guns. Unlike Haruka, and Joshiro, he is bitter about leaving the Black Cats, but keeps his feelings bottled up. Currently working freelance while looking for other


opportunities. Yin has taken an interest in the Federation and once considered joining them. Yin is suspicious of lord Takuya, and doubtful about the job he has been given. The only reason he even accepted it, was because he badly needed the money.
 

Sunanomi:
Age: Unknown, believed to be in early 20's
Alignment: Neutral
Origin: Unknown, believed to be European or American.

A member of the Red Earth Clan. Sunanomi is a skilled marksman, capable of using both normal ammunition and elemental charged rounds. He was found injured by Kio and Lelu, and was recruited shortly after. He has no memories prior to being found. Dasu starting calling him Sunanomi for no reason, and the name just stuck. Sunanomi rarely trusts others, and most people outside of Red Earth, see him as cold and unfriendly. He is fiercely protective of the few he does trust. Completely shocking both Dasu, and Connor, he decided to trust Haruka, shortly after meting her during the island expedition and is in favor of joining forces with her team.



Daisuke "Dasu" Hiraga:
Age: 18
Alignment: Chaos
Origin: Okinawa

A member of the Red Earth Clan. Dasu is Red Earth's offensive mage. Like Sunanomi, he is often seen as unsocialible and cold. Selfish and arrogant, he tends to drive people away and as a result, doesn't have many friends. The only people he answers to, are Kio and Lelu. While his ego is extreme, it is not with out merit. Dasu also has a problem controlling himself around women. If he isn't fruitlessly hitting on girls, he generally trains his demonic magic in his free time, when he isn't bickering with Sunanomi or Connor.



Kio Raikatuji:
Age: 24
Alignment: Chaos
Origin: Okinawa

Leader of the Red Earth Clan. A former follower of the Gaian faith, he later gave it up after meeting Lelu, and has been a working soldier ever since. While he tends to be fair, he does get tired of Dasu picking fights all the time.



Lelu Sekigawa:
Age: 23
Alignment: Law
Origin: Okinawa

Second in command of the Red Earth Clan. A former Messian, she gave up her position after meeting Kio in a skirmish between the two factions. Fast and nimble, Lelu is the scout of the group, and has saved them from ambushes on several occasions.



Connor Mackey:
Age: 20
Alignment: Chaos
Origin: Europe

A member of the Red Earth Clan. Connor is the information gatherer and negotiator of the group. He came from Europe hoping Japan would be more peaceful. Connor is generally easy going, but has a short temper when dealing with Dasu, or people with authority who abuse their power.



Xia Fong:
Age: 21
Alignment: Neutral
Origin: China

A member of the Red Earth Clan. Xia is the groups doctor. She came from china to find work as a doctor and to get away from the chaos in China, after the New Soviet Union took over. She joined Red Earth as a means to get her foot in the door. She is the only person Dasu doesn't fight with, apart from Kio and Lelu.


Others:


Ira Yasui, Esler Steiner, Amag Gregovich.


3 Rookie hunters that Haruka picked up in Naha. Some of them Haruka knew from the Black cats.


Aria Kuzunoha, and the Okinawa Initiates.


Leader of the Kuzunoha Detective Clan, and her underlings. This hot headed devil summoner, is the MC of the side story.


Takuya Yamato and Nakaido Gara.


The lord of Okinawa, and his right hand man.



Nekomata????
A demon?

wow Aria !! 

 

[freezingfeathers]

Woww a SMT spinoff!


I'm gona try =w=

 

[Chigger]

Didn't think it would get approved this fast 0_0. @ freeezingfeathers hope you like it! @ Lunarys. Nice to see some1 else who knows that series!

If anyone is stuck, the readme and guide are in the WWW folder. Not sure how they ended up there...

Playing your game, its decent. Difficult but not unfair, nice music and sprites. I am up to 

Spoiler

the second base.

Some negatives that i can think of are.

• On level up new skills learned can cover up the character name.
  
• Can only do the demon recruitment on the side story.
  
• Character portraits clashing, some are looking straight ahead others off to the side.
  
• Recruit new members quest. I beat it without finding the last member, just returned to the base and mission complete.
  
• Steel helms description in the Naha armour shop's, has a typo, steal instead if steel.

I was going for it being difficult but manageable like the older titles in the series, so I'm glad to see i got that right to some extent. Though I know some people complained about the hit rate (MV has some strange calculation as the original vx version was fine.)


"On level up new skills learned can cover up the character name."


Seems to be an issue with the yanfly plugin in. Might have been fixed in a newer version by now.


" Can only do the demon recruitment on the side story."


This was originally a VX game and my first project, and at the time I had no idea how to do summoning. When I remade the game in VXA I did the side story as a means of testing potential ways to add summoning in a possible sequel. I thought about adding it to the main story in the MV port but that would have required completely changing both the combat and the story (Humans having to cope with out comps was part of it).


"Character portraits clashing, some are looking straight ahead others off to the side."


Used 2 different facemakers for this. One made good females and bad males and the other was the opposite. tried redoing them in the MV generator but I couldn't get them to look right. Didn't think it would be an issue, but I guess that's just me .


"Recruit new members quest. I beat it without finding the last member, just returned to the base and mission complete."


Strange, I tested this several times and never had any issues. This goes on the list of things to address if I make a patch/updated version.


" Steel helms description in the Naha armour shop's, has a typo, steal instead if steel."


I swear, now matter how many times I try to proof read and edit the script, something always gets missed.... another thing for the list.


Thanks for the feedback!

Haven't tried the game out yet, but I noticed that "Leanin Sidhe's" name is spelled wrong. Sounds kinda like a weird rap name lol. I love SMT though, so I'll give the game a try sometime.

*Facepalm* the things I don't notice.... Welp that goes on the list. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[barnzie8]

Got a bit further in the game, up to the boss who use's armageddon. What level should i be to take him down, level 37 now. The Virus boss could also be a pain depending on what the rng throws at you. Kept using the full party full heal, took me two tries to kill it.

 

[Chigger]

Like the school boss, the virus was supposed to be a speed test(try to kill them before they use something like megidolan) but it did end up more of a luck battle. As for the arma caster.... I would think that's high enough, but I don't remember where I was at during testing. Only tips I can give is to have the caster reduce his defense on the first turn, then have him concentrate on hitting his weakness, rather than reduce his power. I would also go with having the healer buff def first turn, then raise either attack or magic power next, if you can go another turn with out healing.

 

[barnzie8]

I didnt buy new equipment for the arma caster fight, that seemed to make the fight harder. The old spear's description text is cut off.

*Adds to the list.


I guess these text screw ups are better than something game breaking, but still... ugh.

Hi. Have a missing animation file. img/animations/Special 8.png Can you help me please

Hi. Have a missing animation file. img/animations/Special 8.png Can you help me please

Odd... I never encountered this with stand alone testing, nor has anyone else reported it. I'm guessing the files didn't install correctly. Try re downloading.


if that doesn't work. stick this in the animation folder

 

[LunarClassic]

Looks nice! I'll give it a go.

Thoughts Dropped 11H 18M (the game is tedious)


I did not like this and it needs a lot of polishing with dialog.


as i'm not a fan of pointless battles and this has a lot of them it didn't help things.


it just keeps going and going and its not fun.


i would not recommend this.


Random thoughts

Spoiler

some characters learn a lot of skills (not a fan of this)


i like how when you visit some places you can talk to your party members. thats cool


a shame there's nothing to negate random battles...


i wish you could save before choices


leave it to a neko to make the game that much better!


hmmm not really a great idea the way the choices are designed to effect the ending with the length and battles being in the way.


Dasu can use Debilitate outside of battle


the world map is too large. its especially bad once you go to the new region.


a lot of grammar mistakes


you added a way to control chaos and law! great move!


if only we knew what it currently was at


sometimes in single lane exits npcs block it.


i can't believe we just allowed some douce bag soldier to take the evidence from us this late in the game...


dropped this at the marshlands. this games tedious.


the game is too long and dragged out

Yeah, won't defend this. Think I sorta did better with the side story.

Thanks. Got that idea from persona 1/2 though.

At the time of making the original version, I didn't know how. Meant to add items for that, but It slipped my mind it the remake. You're right though.


leave it to a neko to make the game that much better!


Yep


hmmm not really a great idea the way the choices are designed to effect the ending with the length and battles being in the way.


Original didn't even have that, so affecting the ending was all I could really do with out completely changing the story. Planned to have multiple routes in a sequel.


their text when planting the bombs in the basement is instant (does not let you read)


Added to the list. Probably happened due to removing the auto format plugin and bad proofing.


Dasu can use Debilitate outside of battle


Added to the list.


the world map is too large. its especially bad once you go to the new region.


I would have thought it would be the other way around, since old school rpg fans Like that kinda thing.


a lot of grammar mistakes


True. I fail at proofing.


you added a way to control chaos and law! great move!


if only we knew what it currently was at


Talking to the blond guy in the bar (Hideout first floor at Nago) gives a hint at this, similar to SMT4.


sometimes in single lane exits npcs block it.


No defense of this. Really should have fixed that.


i can't believe we just allowed some douce bag soldier to take the evidence from us this late in the game...


Bad plot line, I admit.


dropped this at the marshlands. this games tedious.


the game is too long and dragged out


I guess. Was kinda going for a full fledged game feel. Since I have a lot of "believable" dungeons, I wanted to have at least a few that were mazey, but that one was pretty tedious, I admit.

Thanks for the feed back. Sorry you didn't enjoy it. Response to your feed back are in the random thoughts section. A shame you dropped it there, as you were about 4 dungeons away from the end. At your pace, I would guess around 4 hours? Maybe the side story would have been more interesting based on your review, but idk.

 

[barnzie8]

Got up to the hostage situation mission. It was nice to have some puzzles to change it up but the last floor was annoying. There are lots of places to check and not even a clue as to where the bomb is. When you press the wrong place you get kicked to the title screen and have to load your save, i just read the guide, far less hassle. I am in the subway now, playing when i can.

Yeah... I really need to get better at puzzles... Pretty much why I included a guide in the first place
