LINUS is a project I've been working on for quite a long time. It's a story-driven game focused primarily on drama. My main goal with LINUS is to tell a memorable story. This is mainly because writing and world-building are my favorite aspects of creating games. While the game will feature battles and puzzles, they will be a bit light in number. Thus, I would think that people who prefer more gameplay in
their games won't enjoy it as much as people who like to experience a well-told story.


STORYLINE

The storyline of LINUS centers around the most ancient and wartorn empire of Terragama. The game's story in itself is basically the history of this empire as it intwines around the destiny of one person. That person is the main character, a man by the name of Linus Milhaven.

Linus Milhaven is a man who's life is tied to a cruel and violent legend. The people of Terragama curse his name for the actions he commited during the latter years of his life. His story is one that every soul in Terragama claims to know all too well. It's conclusion brought about the catalyst that has resulted in the dark age the people of the empire currently find themselves in.

Still, despite the terrible crimes which he has commited, not everyone in the empire curses at Linus' memory...

His mother, now an old woman, remembers the bright, loving, and intelligent boy she once called her son. Now in her fading years, Emily Milhaven has set out on a journey to write her son's final remembrance: A biography that will showcase Linus' journey from a bright and promising adolescence to a dark and murderous future.


FEATURES:

- Sideviewbattle system.
- Custom soundtrack composed by Joerao1.
- A realistic, dramatic storyline with a large cast of nuanced characters.
- Lengthy and involved optional sidequests which enhance the storyline of the main plot.
- Split into three volumes- Each lasting 10 hours in length for a total of 30 hours of gameplay.

The level of professionalism, meticulous planning, and dedication in this game rivals a Stanley Kubrick film. My hat is off to you good sir and I desperately hope you finish this.

Although this demo was very short, I got hooked very quickly by the quality, attention to detail, and intelligent dialogue and storyline. This is the best game I've played from RPG Maker to date, and I look forward to the next release. This game is on the same level with those I would pay to play.

Dude, this is the best story I've seen since I'm playing some non-proffesional rpg's. Beside that you've done some great mapping.
Still, sometimes I was getting a little bored beceause of the little fighting and all the other stuff you do in rpg's, like optimizing characters and things like that.
Don't get me wrong. I love the stories and I think they're the most important part of a rpg. But you've got to find the balance to make the ultimate game.
Well, you're doing a great job. Keep going!

Added some screenshots finally.

Thanks for the comments. Smiley

The final game will be split into 3 volumes, each representing a period in the main character's life.
Volume 1 isn't finished yet, as I work kind of slow
and am a bit of a perfectionist.

This current demo is only about half an hour long. I am working on a full demo which will include the full prologue as well Chapter 1. That one will be finished soon.

Anyway, thanks for trying out the game. I really hope I can figure out this screenshot problem though. :|

Holy crap! This game looks awesome! Great job from what I've seen so far, this could easily be one of the best VX games I've seen, although it's somewhat customized with XP tilesets. Too bad you can't upload any screenshots, but if anybody's reading this comment you should definately check it out. Blueperiod, great job on the prologue. The execution scene was well played and caught me by surprise. I do have to ask, though. Your download says Prologue demo, but your comments indicate this is being split into 3 volumes. Is volume 1 complete yet? If not, any idea when it will be, and when we can expect the other volumes?
blueperiod (Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:32:32 -0400)
I would, but for some strange reason the site won't let me upload any. Can I have some help with this?
Starscream (Wed, 07 Apr 2010 12:32:38 -0400)
Please add more screenshots to your project. Five should be enough. Thank you.
