Story
15 years prior to the story, the Great Hero Melvin defeated the evil Daemon King and brought peace to all the kingdoms. Sadly he disappeared shortly after, leaving many people sad that they could not have a parade. The Heroine, Princess Lyanda, decides that Princess Academy is far too boring and wants to seek adventure. She finds this is problematic as the world has been assailed by a new game craze called Wallet Monsters. It is so popular that no work gets done and the economy is in decline, even her personal allowance! She decides that finding the Great Hero Melvin will be a great time killer and will also let her get filthy, stinking rich.

Setting
The world of Faeladis is split into seven major kingdoms, each with an important contribution to the world. This world seems like a fairly happy place, despite the occasional monster attacks. Each of the locations is influenced by a real world country and I hope this displays when playing the game.

Characters

Biography: Lyanda is the princess of a kingdom of Yandaral. She is a bit tomboyish and spoiled, demanding things to go her way no matter the cost. She has a dark side that desires to rule the world, but she keeps this a secret from everyone. Yandaral was once a very rich kingdom and as such Lyanda grew very spoiled. The current economic decline has her up in arms at her low allowance, causing her to embark on her journey in the first place.

Her real name is Maybell but she didn't think this stood out enough and changed it to Twilight Sprinkle. She hated her job as a librarian and decided to join Lyanda on her quest just for the purpose of getting fame. Her personality for being the center of attention constantly has her bumping heads with Lyanda.
Biography: Twilight Sprinkle seems like a normal horse to anyone who sees her. The one thing that made her stand out was the fact that she was able to talk. She quickly discovered that she could read and learned many things. King Myndaril was so impressed with her that he made her head pony of the Royal Myndaril Library. Twilight Sprinkle hated this and wanted to stand out, she believes she is destined to be the biggest star in the night sky. She sees an opportunity to escape and fulfill this dream with Lyanda and joins her party.

Features
A few features are different from standard RTP as stated in the credits above. I am using Yanfly's subclass system so jobs and learn-able skills are in. I am also using Yanfly's battle stats so the game is very low numbers. The maximum for any stat is only 200, while hit points and mp only go up to 999. I believe this will add a nice feel to the game.
The game also includes a quest log, along with day/night by Rafidelis, which effects when certain quests can be found or completed. The game is quirky and fun, but that does not mean it's not a full fledged rpg with a good story.

Known Issues
-Lags a bit on the world map, less then five seconds, but being looked into regardless.
-Hospital displays the incorrect number of 'cleansed' this does not actually effect the game and is being looked into.

I don't think "Fairy" and "Princess" are valid genders, you may want to replace that word with "Race:" instead.
Other than that, the story sounds pretty good, but the protagonist is definitely does not have the feeling of a... well... a protagonist.

So "Wallet Monsters" is just a video game right? That's what it seems like.

The motivation of money is well-placed though.

I put those as genders intentionally as a bit of humor. They are both female. Yes Wallet Monsters is a video game inside a video game. I am trying hard to give her the feel of an anti-anti-hero and see where it goes from there, so far her personality has developed well. Thank you for your feedback it's much appreciated!

Just wanted to let everyone know I was alive and still working on this. Made some good progress, added in a few new classes and several new maps. The story is starting to get nailed down into something cohesive and coherent and all the other co words out there. Enjoy a few screen shots and tell me what you think so far.

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything on this project. I realize with the lack of comments that many people probably don't even know it exists, that's ok, once I have the demo out you will all know my POWER! Ahem....sorry.

Anyways, I've been really busy with life and just general lack of inspiration lately so there has been little progress shown. Though the influx of great games coming out has really inspired me to start working again, good job all you game makers! While I have only made a slight progress in the actual physical portion of the game, I have gotten a lot of the world itself created and thought that I would post this in here, I'll try to keep it in a good format, but sadly it does not involve any screen shots, at the moment, so I hope you'll actually read through it and be interested and inspired and such.

The following section reveals some base details about the kingdoms and a few towns in Princess Dreams.

Kingdom: Myndaril

It has grown in size and popularity from a small kingdom that focused on stonework to a major activity center and cultural authority because of it's mass tourism.

Unique Feature: Seafood Harvest
Biography: The hometown of Lyanda and once the greatest of the seven major kingdoms. It has since deteriorated in the past few years and has slowly lost it's power. This has cut into the budget for Lyanda's allowance and has raised her ire enough to cause her sudden interest in adventuring. The kingdom is still popular because of it's Fish Harvest which is a yearly gathering from all the kingdoms and a week long party is had, but this seems to be the only draw to the kingdom anymore.

I will have more posted later, I hope this information is interesting to any who read it.

bump, added a nice long demo, should have very little bugs as I had a few people test it and tested it myself. I hope you all enjoy, and I hope to have the full game added soon enough.

Edit: Also, do I need to do anything to get this moved to long demos? The Demo is about 5 hours long if you do the side quests. I think that counts as Long Demo.

Found a few small errors with some skills being way over powered, despite the amount intended. I found the solution and am working on a fix, will update it with the next demo release, just wanted to point out that the issue is noted.

So, I am reworking this entire mapping system with parallax maps and in doing so, I've decided that I would also like to rework the art style for enemies and maybe even sprites. Sadly I lack the talent to do this and with reworking all my maps, I don't have the time to learn at the moment.

This leads me to start recruiting for my game.

I am looking for a spriter and a combat artist for enemies, or someone who can do both.
It is a front view battle system for combat and the game, as you should see, is in RMVX.

I'm not expecting someone to drop everything and constantly work on the game, as it's still quite a bit from finished. It is an ambitious project and has quite a bit to go.

If you'd like to help out, please PM me or even post here, I'll respond as quickly as possible.

Thanks.

Moved to long demos by request.
