Village Brave and the Escape from Dread Mountain, My first foray into RMVX Options

[kentona]

The forlorn village Brave Red Hawkwind from the Buffalo Plains tribe recounts the tale of his journey to Dread Mountain in search of the boon needed to lift the curse on his village. He will face many foes but also find many friends, like the Ice Man from the beyond the mountains named Babby whom no one but Red understands, and the beautiful Chief's sister Running Fox from the rival Raven tribe whose dances commune with the spirit world.

Grab your spear and brave the dangers of Dread Mountain!

Thoroughly enjoyed the game. Good mix of action and riddle, neat idea of picking up better equipment from the monsters battled. My only complaint, it was too short and I don't feel that way about too many games. Cheers mate.

You need to include information on the characters, as well as, a list of features and a list of credits.

....it's there...?


But, if it appeases you, I can reformat the information in point form:

Red Hawkwind - forlorn village Brave from the Buffalo Plains tribe. Wants the boon of Dread Mountain to cure a curse on his village.
Babby - Ice Man from the beyond the mountains that no one but Red understands. Tags along with Red because he is loyal.
Running Fox - beautiful Chief's sister from the rival Raven tribe whose dances commune with the spirit world

Script Credits: Yanfly, KGC, Woratana, TDS, GreatRedSpirit

As for features:
-traditional RPG
-front view battles
-about 2 hours long
-puzzles
-riddles
-stealing, mixing, throwing, magic, skills

It's all pretty standard fare.

EDIT:

Thanks for playing! You are the first person I've heard from actually who has completed the game (I wasn't sure if anyone would). This being my first attempt at using VX I purposely kept it short and simple. Undertaking a massive project your first go-round with a new engine usually just leads to project being abandoned.

Apologies, I thought that was your story section. If you consider that just about your characters, we still don't know much about their background, class, age etc. Nonetheless, you need to include additional, detailed, information on your plot, as per the rules.

Well, it is pretty much the whole story too! This game really is as small as bernheart suggests.

I will sexify the OP later this afternoon, I suppose.

Oh, kentona! Didn't know you posted here. (I lurk on RMN, so I know who you are. ) Been meaning to try this out for a while . . . so I think I'll download it now.

Your son is adorable, by the way. I voted for him in that contest thingy.

[kentona]

Thanks!

I forgot to mention...all the in-game dialog of Babby was written by my 8-month-old son (as he smooshed his hands over the keyboard).

I figured.

I like this so far . . .

[Bio Wolfz]

Tried the game it was pretty good but please work a little bit harder on your interior mapping.

[kentona]

What's wrong with the austere look? They do live in simple log cabins, sleep on bed rolls and cook by firepits.

EDIT:
By which I mean you're comment offered absolutely nothing meaningful.

The interior maps are too big, I think.

(I've not played this yet. I intend to, just... very busy with PhD things).
