This originally started as a small project for my FC peeps, but I wanted to continue to test my skills beyond writing (and my VN project) and thought to share it and its development with the greater RPG community.
This project is still in pre-alpha.
Royal Astrologian's Eso-lit Room in the Moondrop Kingdom. Four plugins to create Eso and fireplace effects, based on Eso and EsoTech availabilities.
EsoTech Knight's Mission to Beliek under miserable conditions. And still needing to remove old name tags for Yanfly's and Somerandomdude's message plugins lol.
A pre-alpha mockup in getting Mr.Trivel and Yanfly's scripts to create a more engaging system that the Deathwalker can raise a Skeletal Warrior to fight by the player's side for 10 battles. Can levelup, upgrade the Death Minion's equipment and skills in the menu while raised. Somewhat customizing battle back on the list.
More to come as development progresses or upon request :)
That's it in a nutshell. Feel free to critique, suggest, or comment. After helping out the Painted Heart project on the other RPGMaker website, you won't offend me or hurt my feelings. : )
This project is still in pre-alpha.
You find yourself caught in a whirlpool of energies called Esoterics, or Eso, that are beyond your understanding. Slowly, your numbed, ethereal mind begins to understand how it works and manipulate sentient lifeforms on an underdeveloped planet. You select four souls to seek out the Elemental Spirits and unshackle the chains that which entombs you. Once you set the pieces in motion, will the fruits of your labor grant what you desire most?
This is a story about adventuring with troubled companions, encountering fearful creatures, and longing for the mythical word called 'Peace.'

*Note: You get to name the characters (and seeing about char creation in-game too)!
EsoTech Knight: An experimental class participant in mastering Eso into technological barrier devices. Having served the Ecium Government, you joined the military to support your parents, yet the recent violent direction of Ecium's policies makes you wonder what you should be doing with your life.
Royal Astrologian: A simple and content princess of the Moondrop Kingdom in the tundra northern continent. Learning the ancient art of Eso, your days are full of knowledge and intrigue, yet charitable of talent. Threats of Ecium invading over trade disputes is worrisome to see on your father's face. But on one night...
Mystic Blade: A self-proclaimed Lord over San Monti and its prairie and desert landscape. Having overthrown the last corrupt puppet regime to Ecium, you strive to better your people and fight off your former cutthroat pirate connections.
Deathwalker: Once alive, now cast into the Underworld to wander for a death you don't recall, you strike a deal with the Lord of the Underworld to be revived as a Deathwalker. Going out to re-balance the recent increase in mass killings, the mission is to seek out 1,000 demons and the one responsible for your death.

Create 4 prologue chapters that shows the breath of the game mechanics while introducing the characters' backstories and lead-up to the main story.
Once the prologue chapters are completed, a demo will be released and change project status from pre-alpha to alpha.
It will be a long development, but I like the challenge, and I hope you're with me lol.
