More to come...

• No Money System: Being the rich prat you are, matters of finance are of no importance to you. It's assumed that you have enough money to purchase whatever you want. That being the case, items can be in short supply and unlocking better ones may require trading or finding the proper materials to enable shopkeepers to develop them.
  
• Customization: Build Dakura's stats however you please. You're free to focus on any stat you want with him and freely select which abilities he learns.
  
• Equipment-based Skills: Learn new abilities by equipping different weapons and change your equipment in the midst of battle to alter your skillset on the fly.
  
• Reaction System: Determine how each party member reacts to attacks by setting them to guard, dodge, or counterattack.
  
• Personal Abilities: Each party member comes equipped with their own personal ability which is unique to them, such as enemy scan or item theft.

Wow the characters are so pretty! Korelli is so cute!

I'm curious about the no-money system, that's something new~

Can't wait to try the demo when it comes out!

 

[Nemau]

Hello! In the credits you don't tell about the tilesets: they are from Benben (Ben² or ²) aren't they?

Anyway, all looks really great, I hope you an excellent continuation!

Look forward to it! A demo isn't too far off.

Oh, good call. I only listed the original content creators under credits.

 

[Lunarea]

Ooh, I had absolutely no idea this was in the works. I'm really looking forward to playing.

Where does this game fit (timewise) in regards to Contention?

 

[Sailerius]

I was keeping it secret until we had enough to show off, so I can't fault you for not knowing.

This is set roughly 2000 years before Contention and covers the events that were discussed in the memoir room of Maladorr Manor in Act II.

 

[Lunarea]

Ah, a prequel. Awesome!~

I hope you'll also be posting Contention here sometime, especially since all Maker projects are welcome and encouraged.

 

[Sailerius]

Certainly! I'll probably wait until the Complete Edition is finished first, though.

 

[Hirei]

Look forward to more nifty characters being introduced later

 

[BulletPlus]

this looks really promising. can't wait to play it.

 

[Nemau]

Oh, good call. I only listed the original content creators under credits.

I don't understand. ^^' (but my bad english doesn't help xD) Is Benben not an original content creator?

 

[Hirei]

Original content means that you make it yourself from scratch usually specifically for your game. Since BenBen isn't on the team and not made specifically for this game, it is a borrowed asset, and not original.

 

[Nemau]

Oki, I understand now. Thanks for the explanation! (and sorry!)

...But, when I'm thinking about it, Benben still deserve to be named somewhere on the topic, don't you think? [/stubborn] (don't worry I'm not here to annoy you Sailerius ^^ - I just want to represent Benben who is a friend)

 

[Sailerius]

There was a section for other resource authors, I just didn't copy the whole thread. Fixed now.

 

[Amalrich]

Just keep making good maps and the good ol'benben will be proud of ya! :B

(All he asked for when he offered his rtp-modified tilesets was a little "gratitude" and some effort put into mapping)

Bad Sailerius! ;p Copy the whole thread next time!Also might fix up the portraits later...some of them I want to redo ;-;

The reason we've been so quiet lately is that we've been busy building up for today - pushing development on the game, the art, and the music to put together our first trailer and to start fundraising for the game.

We need your help to bring this project to life. Donate and spread the word - every little bit counts!

Dear Photobucket Bandwith:

Anyways, I assume your story etc are within the pictures? Regardless the features shown look amazing! I love the whole you're rich thing, very original! And who doesn't like looking for materials to better their items? Hope you can get the info back up somehow!

 

[FinalHeaven]

I can't see the pretty pictures

Am I the only one? Says bandwidth exceeded where they should be.

 

[Hirei]

This is due to the fact my photobucket account ran out of bandwith. The images should be back up and running 6/10/2012. Sorry for the inconvenience.
