[SIZE=12pt]The Dragon Heretics Awakening doesn’t play like a lot of RM games I have seen. This was purely by design. I wanted the project to attempt different concepts not commonly employed.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]For starters, this game will not hold your hand (well, outside of the tutorial really). It is up to the player to find secrets and be smart about their next course of action.[/SIZE]



[SIZE=12pt]Got a key that unlocks a door? Maybe you found something a quest giver has lost? Well, the door won’t unlock itself and the quest giver won’t search you for the item. You have to do it yourself with the “Use” system.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Want to walk past sleeping guards to avoid a fight? Sneak past them! Want to stab your enemies in the back? Sneak up to them! Want to sneak past all the enemies and only fight the boss? JUST SNEAK![/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]You can literally sneak past anyone. The game doesn’t punish you for doing so (but you don’t get rewarded either).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]You heard me right! No more pesky random encounters or complicated commands! With Khas’ Sapphire Action System (with add-ons) you can hack and slash down every opponent you can find. Each of the major characters has their own unique style of fighting and requires you to consider each combat before jumping right on in.[/SIZE]



[SIZE=12pt]Want to get your hands on some rare stuff, or perhaps earn a little money? You can use the hunt system to take marks from the hunt board, locate your target out in the vast world, and turn it in for chips. (Chips are a special currency for hunts).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]          ·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Huge parallax world and larges dungeons to explore.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Side quests that you sure won’t forget easily.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Map system to go with the very large maps and dungeons.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Camp system. If you find a campfire, your party can take a break and talk about the state of things. This also fully recovers the party.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Region oriented dialog display.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]And a bunch of other stuff that doesn’t come to mind.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]This may be a bit tricky to explain. The Dragon Heretics Awakening has 4 separate stories that all run in parallel with each other. Consider this; you encounter one of the protagonists in a cave. How did they get their? What where they doing beforehand and what is their reason for being there? You won’t find out until you unlock that specific character's story line and find out for yourself. This will leave a lot of plot holes, but at some point (probably in a different story line) that plot hole will be filled in and stamped out. When you play all 4 stories, you then learn the overall picture.[/SIZE]



[SIZE=12pt]What good is a story if you don’t know the time and place you play in? I am not too good at explaining this right off the back so I’ll give you the super simple, easy to understand, dumbed down version of the setting.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The game takes place in the Kingdom of Espar. Not only do the residence of the region live there, but also a race known as dragons. Simple right? Well, these two communities don’t exactly get along. In fact, one is trying to wipe out the other. With dragons on the brink of extinction, they used an artifact known as the eye (explained in Kaze’s tale), to take on a human appearance and hide in secret villages.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt](This doesn’t mean I got lazy and didn’t actually include dragons. There are dragons in here) =)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Not all humans hated the dragons however. Those who commune or live in harmony with dragons are branded as heretics. 4 protagonist become entangled in a secret plot to use the eyes power to wipe all dragons and heretics from the face of the earth. Well, I think that’s the secret plot, plot twister? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]I won’t be getting into each protagonists story individually. As I said, they each run in parallel but they each of a specific story unique to them.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]I will only talk about the main 4 as the story heavily evolves around them. I also don’t want to reveal too much about the villain Yami. (No not you Dr. Yami. I came up with the name well before I heard about you. I get this comment a lot, had to say it. ^^)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt][/SIZE]

Nothing here yet, I kept the game under the hood for to long for anyone to know to much about it. If you would like the game and want to post some fan art I would love to do that ^^.

As for the mod bits, that's for the voice acting function. This game is capable of voice acting but because I don't have any voice actors on hand so I disabled it in the demo. However, this feature can be turned back on in the console. If anyone wants to voice act some (or all) of the characters, I can put it here as a mod. (I wont actually include it in the project as this is just a demo). If you would like to voice act some of this stuff, send me a message and I will be more then glad to send you the sheet that labels out the dialog and the associate voice files.

Because this is a demo, the following features have been disabled.

~Camp

~Achievements

~All Audio Options (excluding voice sound option. I know some people cant stand system beeps)

[SIZE=12pt]** If you find the game to be acting very glitch, such as the dialog not displaying correctly, run the game from the shortcut. It will run it with a higher priority. When the fps drops below 30, some parallel processes will time out with other processes. I have yet to see this happen on any machines yet.[/SIZE]

These are some common questions I get so if you have a question, check right here first ^^

Why cant I see this or why cant I do that.

If you are still in chapter 1, everything is brought up slowly to introduce the player to the mechanics of the game. Stuff like HP, Money, Battle, will all be turned on one at a time as you complete objectives. This is usually the first question I got from testers.

Why cant I transfer maps!

Because this is an open world type of game, I restricted the game to a confined area within the demo.

I bout potions but they don't appear in my bar.

The small potion that houses your usable items such as potion is the "Flash Use" system. If you run out of potion it set's it to empty. Use "D" to toggle back to potion when you obtain more.

Ashe keeps killing me! Her attacks are way to fast!

Kaze drops a hint before the fight starts. You can't approach all fights like you would with normal enemies. Some requires you to probe for weaknesses.

If you still cant figure it out, this spoil reveals the how to. (the only how to I will provide).

When the fight starts, run from Ashe around the platform in a hexagon pattern. Wait for her to tire out then go in to attack. Note that after a certain amount of attacks she will resume the assualt.
