http://i56.tinypic.com/2mm8t50.jpg A full scale, old school style RPG inspired by the likes of Zelda, Demon's Souls, Dark Cloud, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Dragon Quest, Xenogears and Final Fantasy. The title is "QUEST" with the subtitle "Of The Crystal Ball". Hoping to make QUEST a series if the project goes well. A DEMO is live now - http://lbp.me/v/w6d46z And is getting great feedback! Better and more impressive than the Zelda level. Technical innovations and originality! - MagicalHamster "Lots of potential here...Really excellent work so far" - MrFinkle1 "Amazing rpg, the best!" - Axel_Magic "AMAZING! I cant wait to play the full version!" - Dedlock420 "Awesome game play mechanics" - molvas "Fantastic job, so far, I can't wait until its completed with different towns & everything." - ApeCheese The story revolves around a Crystal Ball (obviously) that holds the power to ancient gods which also keeps evil from roaming the earth. The shrine inwhich it is held is eventually overrun by an army of demons and corrupt humans, a cult a century in the making, but the protectors put up a good fight which ultimately leads to the Crystal Ball being shattered and the power within being subdued, allowing evil to flow through the land. The cult retreats and the protectors collect the shattered pieces and hide them within the most protected dungeons in the world. You, a dedicated citizen of Kilka Village, adapt to life of uncertainty, many years after that event, like everyone else. However, upon learning that your father, who had been missing since that day, was a member of the cult, you set out to descover the truth that ultimately sets you on the trail to save the world. You will be visiting towns, villages and lonely cottages that hold colourful inhabitants and side quests. Many dungeons that represent the classic Zelda approach with a boss at the end, puzzles etc. You will be levelling up. New skills will be learned as you progress. New weapons to collect in dungeons. Large non-linear areas full of secrets. Great old fashioned story full of twists. Classic vibe. Included in the massive DEMO is my test environment, which i used to to test my logics etc and to receive feedback from you at the time to see where i can improve as i develop. The community was great! It's only an experimental playground and represents little of the main game, but the main character was 99% done. It will feature a load game feature as it will be about 7 levels long, roughly. Lastly, I need a skilled music composer to do some town/dungeon themes, someone who understands the JRPG sound. UPDATE: Screens *Represent an early build, detail polish will be had once completed* http://i52.tinypic.com/169g3k7.jpg Classic style title screen! http://i53.tinypic.com/15q5abp.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/2en9ijb.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/rumaf7.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/106apzb.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/55w0l.jpg Side interactions were unique in glory day RPGs, expect many here! http://i54.tinypic.com/2eogoww.jpg Zelda style introductions! http://i55.tinypic.com/16mqg7.jpg Lots of non-linear environments with many themes! http://i53.tinypic.com/al15xy.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/k37vy0.jpg http://i52.tinypic.com/2qjhro0.jpg Many mini games. Wouldn't be a classic JRPG without the mini games! http://i54.tinypic.com/25q8ayb.jpg The dungeons will be straight out of the history books. I am an old school guy, i know my RPGs...expect the classic treatment. http://i55.tinypic.com/121v49f.jpg I ain't kidding, expect classic puzzles, riddles and difficulty. http://i55.tinypic.com/2zel84i.jpg Classic booby traps! http://i53.tinypic.com/2883287.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/ftmx1.jpg Many different enemy types. This one is a phantom in a whirlpool, it glides across the floor at random until it launches it's phantom hand at you that grabs you, hurls you back to it and begins to cremate you....not nice! 35% done. This'll be the 1st truly original, adventure RPG on Lbp. Ok, talk to me! http://i52.tinypic.com/29qcbc8.png

Just to let you know if anyone's interested, a DEMO is now live and is receiving incredible feedback! http://i52.tinypic.com/29qcbc8.png "Better and more impressive than the Zelda level. Technical innovations and originality!" - MagicalHamster More bragging comments above LOL! I'm doing this game all alone, but will welcome a music composer who understands the JRPG.

Just a quick note, if youre planning on a series, I would make it ": The Crystal Ball"

I played it earlier today, and I have to say that it feels very inspired. Honestly though, your HUD needs some work, being attached to the character doesn't look very good aesthetically, but for the most part I see lots of promise.

Brian: No, that wouldn't work. every subtitle will have "Of" at the start, you see? Rob: I've tried it every which way and it doesn't look good unless it's like this. I don't want any menus etc to get in the way, i want it all visible and a style that is unique to me. Anyway, there was a massive glitch when you played it, selecting new game only shown you the intro, but took you back to the main menu after. This has been fixed. Also, a new lock on feature has been put into place. My level stats are shooting up fast and feedback has been fantastic and extremely enthusiastic! Don't know if that's anyone here, but thanks! Gonna put the demo in the level forum soon. Just want a little more feedback.
