The Fall of Terra, Released! Options

[ImmuneEntity]

RELEASED!

---Update on 12-23-11---
The download link for this game was broken for quite some time. I've re-uploaded the game to GameFront. You can download the game using the link below.

You can download the complete game here

The game is about 10 hours long and includes a lot of action.

Please take note that although the game has gone through extensive testing, there of course are still probably bugs. If you find any, especially ones that prevent you from progressing further, please let me know either by PM or by posting it here, preferably in a spoiler tag. If you feel there could be balancing tweaks (boss difficulty, etc.) feel free to let me know too. I do plan to keep working on this a little more and if necessary release an update with bug fixes and balancing tweaks.
--------------------


STORY SYNOPSIS
Damian is a young man born and raised in Terra, which has been the strongest nation for over a thousand years. However, in recent years a rebellious faction has taken over the northeast portion of the continent. Despite this, the king has not yet made any orders to retake this region, and some speculate that more attacks will soon come.

In a world on the brink of total war, Damian will use his new-found abilities to aid the Terrans in defeating the rebels for good, while simultaneously attempting to find the source of his strange powers. In his quest to find his place in the universe, strange events make him question the very nature of reality, and causee him to wonder if there is more to the universe than meets the eye.

--------------------

MAIN CHARACTERS
I would rather not talk too much about the characters and instead let the game explain them, but I will put them here for the thread's requirements.


Damian: As the main character, he has a very difficult task at hand. Haunted by the events of his past, Damian must strive to adapt in an ever-changing world. Despite his past, he must regain his confidence and find the good potential that he has within him, while discovering the horrible and evil potential of others.


Ciara: When Damian helps Ciara escape death, she is surprised when he goes on his way rather than asking for anything in return. Having not met any man like him before, she continues to try to learn about Damian throughout the game to figure out what makes him so different.


Brutus: He is the brother of Ciara. He constantly refuses to trust Damian, and believes Damian's only objective is to win over his sister.

PICTURES

The title screen.


KGC's Active Count Battle System. (This is not RMXP's default battle system).


Damian's home. This will be one of the few instances that I am using a cosmetic fog; I will try to only use them subtly in certain areas to enhance the map a bit.


A snow area.


A town being attacked.


A forest at night.


The battle at the capital city.


A conversation between Damian and Ciara.


The in-game menu.

--------------------

What will make this game different from other RMXP games?
Despite some obvious cliches, are some differences:

-This is a FULL game
-Lots of action-intense scenes
-You will be able to partake in several in-game cinematic battles (refer to the "Battle at the capital city" picture for an example of what I mean). This should be one of the strong points of the game; dozens of soldiers will be engaged in battle in a city or town and you must help your fellow soldiers out the best you can. These events are entirely event-based, and they have very complicated systems. The battle pictured above uses 7 Parallel Processes, each handling a different part of the battle (Soldier HP, Attacking, Reinforcing, etc.) It certainly isn't perfect, but I don't think this sort of thing has really been done before in an RMXP game.
-Unlike most games, you will not be sided with the rebels. You will be sided with the army of Terra, and they will be with you every step of the way.
-A good quality assortment of MP3 music from several different sources

--------------------

FAQ

How long is the game?
About 9 -10 hours; it will vary based on sidequests and exploration.

How big is the game?
About 160 MB

How long have you worked on this game for?
I started working on the game over three years ago, but I haven't been consistently working on it. Some months I did not work on it at all. However, I have definitely put a LOT of work into this.

I'll check this out when it comes out... I'm curious, so that, and I haven't played a classic RTP rmxp game in a while lol... I read some of the story, depending on how well is executed, this could be fun, we'll see. And also, you can still cut some size of those mp3s and still have them sound in good quality.

I cut them all down to 128 kbps. Bringing them down to something like 64 kbps just reduces the sound quality too much in my opinion. I can maybe look into changing them to something inbetween and see if the savings in file size is worth it or not.

And you are right though... I was assuming you had the mp3s as higher quality like most people though... still, what you can do is cut the repeated parts and make it loop nice and neat, I made a tutorial, is kinda outdated, but it might help you, if you want it let me know. And don't kill more quality, it will just make the sound sounds like ass... you can also not use that many tracks for the game...

EDIT: Oh, and don't forget to give credit where is due... I see some scripts in your game screenshots, make sure that you name the people who made those scripts, etc.

Of course, I've credited everyone I used resources from. I'll probably add those credits to the post a little later.

The game has been released a couple days early. Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think. The game certainly isn't perfect, but I think you will enjoy it.

How many characters are in it? Are there only 3 characters? If so, do they have alot of special moves.

There are several characters, but a couple I just didn't want to put in there because I'd prefer you learned about them in-game. But I should probably add more to the description. During most of the game you will have four people in your party. On average, each party member has maybe 12 skills.

Oh okay, thank you for telling me, I will give a review for you, when I'm done.

[eatatralphs]

Does anyone have this game or have an updated download link? It looks really well done and I would like to play it, but cant find a link that still works. Thanks

[ImmuneEntity]

I have re-uploaded this game to GameFront. The link is in the first post of this thread.
