Hello everyone,

I hope I'm in the right section.

Aedemphia, four years in the making by a single man, Sylvanor.

I am merely translating this epic tale (22-26 hours for demo 8.5) but I would like to share this game with the community.

Note that this game is free and won't be sold in the future either.

FAQ:

What's so special about it?

-18 hours
- 141 monsters (each and every one of them hand made, no rip. Monsters are also animated)
- 134 books (in a style similar to Elder Scroll)
- 1151 maps
- 260 side quests
- 703 items (including the equipment, note that items are all hand drawn).
Sample:

- More than a 100 spells.
- 30 Short animations
- 10 Optional bosses (not including the compulsory bosses)

Note that the author is in the process of creating everything by hand, instead of using pre-existent art.


The current demo still has some bugs in it. If you spot any, it would be cool if you could point them out so that we can fix them for the next release.

CLICK THE PICTURE TO DOWNLOAD THE DEMO.

So what's the story?
Here it is, a summary of the prologue:

Irzyka is the protagonist of this epic tale, the daugher of the Great Urtypzall. Born in a ruined world littered with garbage, she is spared the atrocities or her homeland, sheltered in her father’s castle, Isoloir.

Raised by a duo consisting of her own brother, Alzarith, and a local scientist, Irzyka was never in direct contact with the realities of the outside world.

Her tranquil lifestyle was suddenly shattered when she was finally kidnapped by a young man named Erun. He opened her eyes on the miserable lifestyle of the others living outside the castle, the Inferiors.

It wasn`t long before Irzyka became close friend with Erun and the Inferiors.

A short while later, Irzyka and Erun discovered a project taking place in Castle Isoloir, under the direction of Creas himself; establish a “bridge” between Irzyka’s homeworld and another one, Estarzall, in order to migrate to finally leave the wastelands of her homeworld.

It is then revealed that Erun was created with a sole purpose in mind: he is the Key, he is meant to power the Bridge, the contraption designed to act as a portal between the two worlds.

Erun ultimately sacrifies himself and a Breach is created between Irzika’s homeworld and Estarzall. The experiment has a disastrous impact on the filth covered homeworld; it is entirely destroyed along with its inhabitants.

Irzyka is the sole survivor of a world which has now ceased to exist…

After wandering for a while in this estranged world, Irzyka discovers a small village, Iflare.

Before long, she becomes acquainted with Ufa and his master Egaj. Ufa reveals that he is wandering the desertic lands, raising an army to avenge his deceased parents, killed by a mysterious individual known only as Heartless Soul, a bloodthisty tyrant of Hyurne, capital of the desert.

And so she once again became friends with two strangers from a world not her own and thanks to them discovered the world of Estarzall.

Throughout their numerous adventures in this world, they were confronted by the Four Avatars, four semi-gods, awakened from their slumber for some unknown reason.

As years went by, the army thrived.

Ufa eventually a fully grown man and was finally leading the army he sought all those years.

His army was formed of people from the four corners of Estarzall and supported by the village of Iflare itself.

With such a force under his command, Ufa and his comrades marched upon Hyurne…

The environments alone are frontpage worthy.

Was this done in RPG maker? I recognize the look of the menu screen and the text box below that screen.

And yes, the environments are very well done.

That guy can make some purdy landscapes.

Here's hoping it's not as tightly-scripted as most Japanese-style RPGs.

Aedemphia, four years in the making by a single man, Sylvanor.

This sounds so god awfully familiar.

Unlike a certain other project, this looks really good though. Reminds me of the old RM2k days. The limitations of that maker sparked so many good ideas to get around this limitations and for being a pretty text-book RPG creator people created so many innovative and complex RPG systems with it.

Sorry if it's not a RPG Maker game, but that one screen with the message box kicked off a nostalgic moment for me.

Looking forward to a full english version.

The website says it's RPG Maker 2003. If the graphics and overall concept are anything to go by, this will be a great game.

I usually hate JRPGs, but I think I might make an exception with this one. Those environments are absolutely breathtaking.

There's such a contrast between the beautiful environments pictured in this thread, and the clunky animation and deformed characters in the videos ... I don't know what to make of it.

Thank you for your interest!

I wouldn't exactly describe the game as being a JRPG however. It's more like a mix of different genres including table top rpgs.  Smiley

For those who don't know, RM2k3 is the one where the default battle system is based on Final Fantasy 5, basically, with the class system and side view and so on. If you never do any custom scripting, it's actually better than the one in XP, I think. Hopefully this game is a good one, too. However, it has limitations in that animations can only have so many frames, which is why it looks a bit clunky in motion, and there's no way to change that. If you play a lot of older RPG Maker games you just get used to it Smiley

I kind of have the same reaction. But regardless, I think this is a really impressive effort. I'm totally blown away at the amount of effort that went into this, and I find it very motivating!

Some of that background work is really beautiful.
