There's not a lot to see in the demo, but here:







Features
Battles that can take a turn for the worst or better depending on your skill and ability to command

Several different scenarios for victory

Short, but hopefully believable and memorable story

Progress
Since it will be 10 scenes in game, and this demo covers the first, a little over 10%, as the next scene is also there, but not finished, and not playable

Known Issues
The evade command does not work, and tells you in the description

In practice, a sort of Advance Wars with Mechs and Robots?
The story seem quite interesting. I'll definitely give it a quick try
It's difficult to find some good sci-fi game made with a RPG maker program...

Just a quick comment on the screenshots. In my opinion you should work on the units' thumbnails.
Seeing them cut isn't a good effect... you could try editing some Advance Wars or Front Mission unit to it the chessboard.
Go to Spriters Resources and give a look at these sheets:

The Spriters Resources - Front Mission Sprites

The Spriters Resources - Front Mission 2 Sprites

Here you can find some good robot miniatures to display on map instead of unit symbols.

Thanks,I will certainly look into this! The current ones were just placeholders anyway.

Fixed the title crashing issue(actually I fixed it awhile ago, but uploaded the wrong file...)Can I get some feedback please?

[Jens of Zanicuud]

I'll give it a try in the next few days. I can't promise anything, however since I'm busy with some study issues.
If you don't mind, I will give some feedback by next Saturday or before...
The project looks interesting, so it would be a shame if nobody gives feecback.

However... there are some issues regarding your post... an underline tag has gone away (the one near download Demo) and the characters section is empty...

EDIT:
Okay, basically I've found some bug right in the beginning... when you start your game, after a brief cutscene, the main menu appears, and then...
1. if you select Mail and then select the blank, you get an error and the game crashes;
2. if you enter the shop, you can acquire 99 Recovery Modules for 0 F. If you exit the shop, you're directed to a black scene and you have to press ESC (B button) to return to the menu; same for armory.
3. There's no introduction about the system and so I've spent some points in powering up abilities without knowing I was to do that.
4. After the main menu disappears, the game freezes. I wasn't able to continue...

Anyway, I'll properly try it once more, no problem. I'm not the kind of guy who leaves a game just because of some random bugs at the beginning
Just upload the working version
