Hi,


Wife and I have been working our butts off since the launch of MV (never used RPG Maker before) and I am done with an enhanced version of the third alpha of The Royal Petals of Greenrose (R.P.G.)


I made an android and web version, but those run horribly (one requires a strong cellphone/tablet to run at 60 FPS) and the web version is almost unplayable due to the constant loading (using the plug-in to load it all at once to reduce this made a never-ending Now Loading screen, so that didn't fix it.) So here is the PC version, if any are interested in trying it out:


http://www.greenrose.begeeked.com/The Royal Petals of Greenrose (Alpha 3+).exe Don't use the web version, it's not updated nor does it work as well as the PC version.


There are no towns/castles built yet, only the first continent is accessible and the battle coliseum is not a refection of how towns will look when we're done with this game, it was just put together quickly to have a place for the coliseum (originally it was just an NPC in the overworld, so I made a small area to house it/him.)


Also, the intro is rather long, so skip if it you don't want to spend 5 minutes reading. Any feedback (especially negative feedback) is very welcome and would help us improve things for the beta of the game that's coming in a year or so. Game uses all 6 buttons, btw. (Also may have to not use 720 anymore since it makes android ports work horribly, but the alpha will stay 720.) The alpha will take 2-3 hours to play through.


Here's the story and whatnot:


Four friends (2 of which are royalty) are forced to check on the water crystal since the scholars have discovered something wrong. They have to find out if the crystal is safe (full game will involve 4 additional crystals.) They will meet many additional characters along the way (the alpha only has 1 extra character, the final will have 20~) and ummm, that's it. If I say anything else, it would be a spoiler. There are built-in profiles for the characters in the game, so no point in posting them here and I have made a FAQ http://greenrose.begeeked.com/FAQ.txt that can be used to guide you through the alpha til completion.


There are 2 ways to go about this alpha, you can either keep the 5th character that joins the party until you are almost done with the alpha. or you can get rid of the 5th person as soon as they join and make the game more challenging for you. The final boss has 2 versions, normal and expert. Normal is if you breezed through the alpha and aren't that strong. Expert is if you finished the battle coliseum and geared everyone with all the lvl20 gear and that is around lvl25~ (which you get from battle coliseum drops only plus you can take a handful those off the 5th character and give them to anyone else in your party, before she leaves your party.)


The point of this game is to make an entry level R.P.G. so it's target audience are those that never played (or never finished) a R.P.G. before so the difficulty is intentionally lower than most R.P.G.s. For R.P.G. veterans the game is full of humor to keep you interested (however, the dialogue is limited in this alpha, so there's isn't really any humor in the game yet, maybe a little humor snuck in.    ) btw, the town names are temporary, the real names are still being worked on.


Here are some screenshots:
