Update: Version 0.1.5. Is now available which also supports MAC OS X. You can download the new versions from the website.


New additions include: Some updated dialogue. 


A new fishing system.


A new auto save system (not fully implemented).


I've also hidden a "Mystic Stone" in the new version. If you find it, you'll be able to summon a mystic beast!


I'd like to note: I have not extensively tested this version as I did the original, so I apologize if it's not 100% working.


I do not have a MAC so I can't test to see if the MAC version works.


Please let me know about any bugs or issues you find! Thank you.


I am currently in the process of uploading the Windows version, so please be patient if it's not up yet. I'll update this post once it's up.


The MAC version is fully uploaded though. Windows Version is up!


Hello all. First I would like to say, this is technically my "first" rpg maker game. It had originally started as a VX Ace game and since then has undergone many changes.


I have worked on it's current form for about a year now, and I feel it's finally time to put it out in the world and get some feedback on how it's coming along.


Whispers of Fate is a game inspired by classic JRPG's like Final Fantasy and the like. I aim to create a world that really brings the player in, makes them want to learn more about it.


I want to create a great story with memorable characters. I want to add loads of exploration, fun combat, and ways to interact with the world around you.


Story


Without giving out a ton of spoilers so you have nothing to look forward to while playing the demo for yourself...


Whispers of Fate is set in a world 1000 years after a crystal meteor eclipsed the sun. The sun scorched the planet and forced all civilization to live in manmade caves in the mountains.


After the eclipse they descovered pillars made of crystal, these pillars had restorative powers that could bring life back to the land.


This game focuses on a party of 9 characters. While not all of them are in this demo, you will meet the four most "Important" ones to the plot.


All these years after the crystal eclipse, something very odd is going on. Towns and villages are being completely "destroyed" and their citizens have vanished.


Characters


I will now introduce you to three characters.


Seth(or whatever player names him).


Seth is a young outgoing man, he has been struggling with strange dreams plauging his sleep of late.


He is someone who would do anything for his friends.


He was raised by the head of the church in his hometown of Kaeda (Father Maru) and looks to him as his father in all respects.


Lu


Lu is the "big brother" figure to Seth.


His oafish ways and humor keep life fresh.


Lu has taken over ownership of the (poorly up-kept) tavern in Kaeda, so he can keep an eye on Seth and Rain.


Rain


Rain is a childhood friend to both Seth and Lu.


She is very gifted in the mystic arts of magic.


She has been raised by Father Maru as well, having been found on the church steps wrapped in a blanket with nothing but her mothers locket.


She has become the town healer of sorts and is respected by all who live in Kaeda.


Screenshots


Here a few screenshots of the areas you will visit during your playthrough of the demo.


Fathrin Lake.





Here's an example of a custom battle back. 





And here is the hometown of the characters introduced above, Kaeda.





And last but not least, the current (obvious work in progress) world map of Toria.View attachment Toria.jpg
