What do you think?

DeliveryQuest and KillQuest are spoofs that make fun of most MMOs that are very competitive. Their intention is to take the most boring parts of MMOs and make a 'game' out of them (something like a Mystery Science Theater showing).

You hit it right on. I plan to approach it with the third game making fun of raids at some point to finish the trilogy.

For a good reference of what I'm spoofing (making fun of):

Also, almost everything in the game (art/map/music) is stock that came with RPG Maker. I wanted to demonstrate that something could be created almost solely with RPG Maker and it's included assets.

It's quite possible the game you mention uses the same textures. They are actually the stock textures that come with RPG Maker VX Ace. Part of the goal with DeliveryQuest and KillQuest were to make playable games using primarily just the stock resources that come with the game engine.

There are a few extras that come with third party resources, such as the compass that comes with the quest/compass scripts.

Just about everything else though you will find in RPG Maker VX Ace http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/products/rpg-maker-vx-ace

If you like the look, grab the engine. The textures, images, music, sound, etc are all free to use, and royalty free, for anyone that buys the game engine.

Hey there textures look like they off Ahriman's prophecy.

Note: This game is a satire on a commonly disliked trope in the MMO Genre. It is not meant to be the pinnacle of entertainment. What's more, it also uses primarily stock graphics, music, even a map, from RPG Maker VX Ace to demonstrate the ability to make a playable game (or satire) without adding a lot of third party resources. Not everyone will enjoy this type of game.

tldr; It is a boring, stupid, sometimes funny project that points out parts of MMOs that people tend to dislike. Don't take it seriously or expect it to be very fun.

DeliveryQuest was developed as part of the #OneGameAMonth Challenge (January entry) - challenging developers to create one game, simple or complex, to completion each month with a beginning, middle, and end, starting in January 2013.

It is intended to be the first part of a series of single-facet games poking fun at common themes in modern MMORPGs.

It is entirely free (non-commercial) using only RPG Maker VX Ace, it's default RTP assets (including one of its maps, modified somewhat), and a few free scripts available for free non-commercial use by other RPG Maker VX Ace developers (see the credits). This was decided upon in order to demonstrate that a complete game could be made using the engine and its assets without having to create or purchase new assets.

The quest system uses the freely available BSD licensed HACK item list, which adds to the amusement of the game.

A long time ago in a mystical (fictional) world about the size of a small island...

Delivery Quest

Part of the Hero of the Mundane Saga

In this world, full of great magical beasts and many great heroes... well, the fact of the matter is that in this world, almost EVERYONE is a great hero. There aren't really any average people, only those that are heroes-in-training or those that are heroes-in-retirement.

This world was once home to a great massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, or MMORPG for short. That meant that there was no room for the ordinary... everyone wanted to be the hero, and as such, nobody was special.

Now that the world has settled down, there is a great crisis looming across the land. Since everyone is a hero, there has been nobody to deliver packages between towns in a really long time. Communications within the kingdoms have broken down nearly to the point of collapse.

It is now time for the age of a new kind of hero.. a hero that can deliver the world out of chaos.. a hero that can face the world with great courage, no matter the weather.

Rain or shine, snow or sleet, the world needs its

Delivery Hero
