Legionwood: Tale Of The Two Swords, Console style RPG with over 15 hours of gameplay and heaps of quests&a Options

[Dark Gaia]

Game Overview
Legionwood is a console style RPG made using RPG Maker VX. Legionwood is my attempt at creating a nostalgic and familiar RPG experience reminiscent of the classics of the early 90's such as Breath Of Fire and Chrono Trigger.
Legionwood features a massive world filled with adventures and side quests, and is expected to contain over 20 hours of gameplay and four huge story driven chapters.
While it isn't revolutionary and contains gameplay that is for the most part bog standard RPG fare, Legionwood is designed to be that way; familiar and fun for RPG fans looking for a casual game to play.

Storyline
The world of Legionwood. Once upon a time, it was prosperous and full of technological wonders. About three thousand years ago, a mysterious phenomena demolished most of mankind's cities, and as a species, they had to start again. This much, archaeologists and scholars know from the ancient ruins of technological cities and fortresses dotted throughout the most barren parts of Legionwood's surface.
After at least two millennia had passed, mankind had begun to re-establish itself as the planet's dominant species. Major inventions were being rediscovered, and technological development had finally reached a medieval period. It was at this time when everything began to go wrong. Legionwood has always had war, but suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere began a furious and unpredictable world war that raged for years and devastated cities and nations worldwide. This terrible conflict, known as the Great War, ended as suddenly as it began, with no mention of its cause or conclusion to the public, and mankind began to pick up the pieces.

Now, one thousand years have passed since the Great War came to an end. Since that terrible time, makeshift peace treaties have ensured there have been only minor conflicts over the last centuries, but once again technology is on the rise, and half truths and legends about the Great War and its origins are prevalent in popular culture.
Each country, empire and kingdom fears its neighbours, and only reluctantly are peace ties held in place. In a last ditched effort to try and maintain some sort of peace between the rival kingdoms of Charn and Trevelle, the king of Charn has decided to hold a celebration and
festival to honor his new daughter's birth. Everybody in attendance is expecting a good time, but a key figure linked to Legionwood's dark past of conflict and death has been biding his time, and has decided that now is the perfect time to stage a new Great War and political upheaval. Simply looking for a way to wind down after months of hard work, Lann and his sister Liara come to enjoy the festivities, but soon they will both be pulled unexpectedly into an epic saga which may just have a battle to decide the world's fate waiting in its wings.

Game Features
- A character driven story full of twists, turns and red herrings, and an intended gameplay time of around 20 hours.
- 6 playable characters, each one with a distinct personality, which you can mold into your own custom character classes to suit your combat style.
- Turn based combat with an emphasis on tough opponents and using skills, rather than mashing "attack" over and over. Think, don't button mash!
- A custom soundtrack, composed entirely of non comercial game music, some exclusive to Legionwood.
- Collect, raise and summon 5 elemental spirits to aid you in battle! Summon level up, learn skills and fight just like your party members!
- Innovative Ability Point system by KGC allows you to choose which bonuses you gain in level ups, so you're free to decide which role your characters fill in your battle plan.

Sorry for the late reply lol. I will work on testing it now. I just now checked RRR . Looks like I have some catching up to do. Anyways, dling now and I will let ya know more soon. Mostly minor bugs so far, but being officially involved in testing, I will track down even the smallest things. The game looks good though. Good mapping, and it can really draw you in. I also like how you did the world map. It makes it look big.

1.When you first load the game, it shows the hero in the bottem left corner (new game). Tiny bug, but I will find every little thing.
2. An npc was able to walk on the party member behind me (not sure if me being in a conversation with an npc impacted that at all). Also when you finish the quest, the cat went through liara instead of the owner. Perhaps this was due to where she was standing/facing at the time, even if I had to give her the cat from the front.
3. Theres an npc thats moving around that seems like she shouldnt be. She mentions the town well, but when I talked to her shes not next to it. she wandered off a bit on her own.
4. When wolf defends (i think it was defending), an empty text box comes up. I think there are other empty text boxes in battle, such as when a character uses embrace.
5. On the seletan plains, there is a cat that you can walk through. It fixes itself after you accept the quest.
6. Not sure if theres a bug here or not, but in the inventory screen, I cant figure out how to switch it from all to something else. I tried a few things.
7. When I use double strike, it only hits once, but it does seem to do extra damage. Not sure if it was intentional, but thought I would post this since it says it hits twice.
8. Not sure if this was intentional, but in the first town the first skills you can buy are medium damage instead of low.
9. There is a mapping error in charn, inside the house in the bottem left. The mapping error regards the bed.
10. Inside the building where ark and the guard captain talk a bit, there are barred windows that you can walk on.

More coming soon, as I dont plan to let them elude me. Mayby I should change my name to buglord5000 . Taking a break for now, but great game so far. Just feeling a bit lazy. Dont want to make a new post yet, so I will edit this for now. With me on your side, those elusive bugs shall be found!

Well I guess the demo ends shortly after you beat the assassin =(. Fun game so far though. I took out efreet before the assassin lol. Good mapping and it seems fairly balanced. I am hoping for more challenging boss fights in the future. Anyways, I will be ready to test it when ya release more.
