Restarting Development + Early Preview


Hello, everyone. I'm back to let you all know I have indeed restarted development on the game. It will feature a new story, this time more carefully written (the dialogue from the 2014 was... uh not so good ), and also actual mapping.

That is correct. The previous versions of Crytals of Elements were lazy developed. I kept making promises I couldn't fullfil, didn't meet my own deadlines and so on.

RPG Maker VX Ace, like most recent RPG Maker software, I believe, comes with sample maps, and I just used them instead of making my own maps. That has now changed.

As you can see above, the map above is an entirely new creation. It was made by me in about a few hours. A few people did help with feedback, and I thank them so much for their help.

I'd also like to leave here an early preview of the story, by showing you the first lines of dialogue in the game.

See you all in the next devlog! Stay safe!

It’s January 31st 10457 HE. Two men are walking on a path in an unnamed forest. Suddenly, one turns to the other:

            Wedge: Gee. It sure is boring around here.

            Biggs: What seems to be the issue, Wedge?

            Wedge: Everytime we go on these patrols, we never encounter anything out of the ordinary. Not even some evil person some hero is supposed to defeat and bring peace to the land.

            Biggs: You know true peace is what all warriors strive for. And we are currently living in times of peace.

            Wedge: That is simply not true. Some warriors live for adventure, others for… well, the wealth.

            Biggs: My funds’ pocket disagrees with you, Wedge. I--

Suddenly, a noise is heard. It seems to have come from a branch…

            Wedge: Halt! I feel a strange presence near.

            Biggs: Hm, I did hear a sound. Shall we investigate?

            Wedge: Yes, but with caution.

Upon further inspection, it was just an animal.

            Wedge: Phew! It scared me.

            Biggs: I wonder why you assigned yourself to the patrol squad when you’re practically afraid of everything your eyes come across.

            Wedge: I did not apply to such squad! It must have been a mistake. Yes, a mistake.

            Biggs: You have been with this squad for many moons and only at this precise moment you acknowledge it was all a mistake on your behalf? You are one of a kind, Wedge.

A little far away, a boy is walking in the same woods.

            Boy: I could have sworn they were around here… Was I mistaken? I can’t go back to the guild empty handed. Especially not today.

The boy looks for something for a little while.

            Boy: It’s going to be one of those days, isn’t it? I feel it is. *turns around once and then twice* I wonder where Lya is.
