Hiya guys!

Well, I am using RPG Maker VX to try and build my own very first game,

FireHeart - Legend of the Paladins
from a novel by me: Andry Chang

I have the preview of it in:
http://fsaga.blogspot.com/2009/03/firehear...s-prologue.html

The novel itself, the English Version excerpts are in www.fireheart.tk, my blog and the Indonesian Version, book One has been published in print.
So, maybe I shall need assistance and ask lots of questions, because some of the game systems are not built-in in the engine, i.e. banking system.

The FireHeart - Legend of the Paladins Project comprises of three books of a trilogy:
- The Bounty Hunters
- Masks of the Soul
- The Lion, the Eagle and the Serpent

For details, please visit:

The video and story really intrigues me.

Hey, I just started playing your demo so I thought I'd post my thoguhts so far. I gotta say the intro really rocked, I wish I could sketch like that, it was amazing. The instantaneous transition from one scene to the next was kind of jarring though. Next, the first dungeon was fun, I always like fighting slime but the bats were annoying with no way to cure blindness. I hate running from fights, so when Chris was alone fighting them it took forever to score a kill. Still, a nice little dungeon to start with.

The game really started to shine when I arrived at Rand. The dialogue is terrific and well written, I'm also assuming all the stairs, ladders and doors leading nowhere are because this is a demo

. But I had fun talking to the people, there weren't so many that it felt like a chore or so few that the town felt lifeless. The strange woman in the guild on the far right kept playing happy music and saying she was going to give me 100 gold.

Also by this point all I remembered was that I had to rest in Rand, so I did that then had no idea where to go

. Later I restarted and found out I was meant to go to the forest but it would have been nice to get a reminder =P. Instead I looked for the Orc slayer guy but couldnt find him so I ended up heading up north and got smashed by some scorpions in a cave...which was totally my fault. I knew I wasn't meant to be there

. Unfortunatly, when I tried to load a save it didn't let me so I'm not sure if it's just me or what. So I won't try it again until I have enough time for a long run through, just in case I can't reload it either xD.

But this is shaping up to be lots fun, I like the story and am looking forward to seeing where it all goes =P

Well, it's really this far, looking at this video:

Chapter 6: The Spirit of Temperance
Barabus and the Scarlet Letter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrjMVcqWrL4...player_embedded

Ok, thank you for reminding me that the early scenes need reminders... I'll try to fix that in the next demo
Oh, btw if you play the latest demo, make sure u play it from the start again because if not, there'll be a bug I can't fix that will lead to an error.
So far I've been concentrating on the main story, so I'll add up many people, animals, events and quests in towns and guilds etc to make the game more lively. I've also made some mini-games which I hope will add up to your excitement. Well, back to work!

Hi, guys, I've uploaded the new DEMO! (The link is also in the spoiler of the first post)

Version 4.0
FireHeart Paladins DEMO v4.exe
Up to the end of Chapter 6, approx. 13.5 hours of gameplay.

I uploaded another demo to fix the bugs in chapter 6:

Version 4.2
FireHeart Paladins DEMO v4.2.exe

Hope anyone reaches that end of chapter 6 under 13 hours of play (unless someone is addicted to the minigames...)

OOps, the previous version 5 demo has a fatal fault on it, so I replaced it with a repaired one,
and here's the link:

FireHeart Paladins DEMO v5.exe

For those who already downloaded the faulty version 5 demo, just download and add these datas to replace the files in DATA folder:
Map051.rvdata
Map107.rvdata

CommonEvents.rvdata
MapInfos.rvdata
System.rvdata

Map051 is the starting map, so Map051, Map107 and System might be most essential.

By the way, Merry Christmas 2009 and Happy New Year 2010! (The project is 10 months already and nearing finish)

FireHeart Paladins FULL Version 1
http://www.mediafire.com/?d2myozwodnr

At last, I completed the game in January 21, 2010! After 1 year of development.
Thanks to the ones supplying the scripts etc, which I credited, of course.

Well, should I make a new thread in "complete game" or should the moderators move this thread there?

That's it. This is the final version. I have fixed all the bugs I could find, and if there are more bugs or imbalance in the game, I'll collect the feedback first before making corrections if necessary. Time to move on to the next project.

Thank you all for downloading, critique and feedbacks. It's precious to me.

FireHeart Paladins FINAL FULL Version
22+ hours of gameplay, 65 MB with RTP

After completing the 3 trolls bounty there seems no way to proceed to alceste?, can't see it on the world map and all toll bridges are still closed.

that's strange, because I've already fixed that toll bridge... after the 3 trolls there's supposed to be a scene, after that the switches will open. if not, just try to talk to the toll bridge guard and make sure robert is in the party - and on to the tricky hotshot pass. i'll re-check the switches again because other players didn't find a bug on it.

In the game I went from Chapter 3 or 4(whatever chapter started when you go into alceste city) to Chapter 7 somehow by just talking to a girl in a red roofed house in alceste city(the house where you can change party members) and now I can't go back to the chapter i was originally on.(I'm pretty sure im in chapter 7 after watching a video on youtube of you fighting monsters in chapter 7)

whew i hope u saved the game before u went into that house because it was a test map to test events. dang, i shouldn't be so tricky as to put it in the game when I beta-tested it... sorry for the inconvenience (trapped u!).

wah law! I did add a party management menu with the minotaur in the start of saturn's space area, but i removed it (i think) because I created a party log book as item. just talk to the minotaur, and if a party changer menu is still there, just add whoever u need to add (which is useless becuase the option to choose the high-level chars like alexis, sheena and dar'gum is still locked)

if u can, please retrieve the save game from files other than the alceste/chapter 7 files because you're still a long way to go to overcome cosmo guardians and dark elf ninjas... and once again, i'm very sorry for my carelessness... oh, maybe i'll slip a savegame download from my beta-tests in case anybody needs it.

pikutersty, tell you what, i've posted a savegame of my beta-test in saturn's space (click above and select "files") to download it. i happened to have one to bail u out of the fix...

You need to include three screenshots, a list of credits and a list of features.

Ok, I included them all, though I already did in the RRR Game List.
However, the "Spoiler" got wrong, like the BB Code for opening can't be recognized.

Stuck. I have Robert in my team. I went to the Hunter's guild, and picked up two quests - rid Rand of the rats and the culprit, and one Robert wanted to do - something about Vesertine or something similar. Completed the rats quest and got the bounty, but Robert's quest does not show up in my items, and I can't go anywhere else in the town, or outside the town save where I've already been. Toll bridge is still down. What to do?

Oh, maybe u should check with Sansarine Guild for the Forest Troll quest in Lumien Forest.
Then u get out of Rand and move north (through the tent), make a round trip through Trident Cave and an important story event in Arkvale Village
Then u check in the Walthorn Guild in Varestine about the quest, go to Lumien, kill the trolls and move on.
Feel free to ask if you're stuck again.

I think a walkthrough is in order.
