Game Name: Legend of the Demon War (Ok, so it needs some polishing)
Maker: RPG Maker 2000
Story/Concept:

In a plane of existance unknown to mortals, one young man will shape the destiny of somewhere he's never been. A place where peace reigned in, until a Dark Knight began a plot to bring back an ancient evil. Oh, Chosen One, bring forth your light

Additional Information:

Ok, so this is my first game. Literally, I started it in 2007, and I had very little in the way of skill at the time. Mapping is horrendous, no additional features, just a beginner's effort.

Progress: 85%

To Do:

-Replace all of the game's soundtrack. As awesome as having the final battle be Killswitch Engage's "This Fire Burns", WAV files are too blasted big.
-Debugging. a fair number of bugs to be worked out, some make the game really unfair.

Characters:

Spoiler

Protagonists:

Chris: A man from another plane of existance. Chosen by the gods to fend off the machinations of darkness.

Abby: A kind-hearted mage. Dealing with many personal issues, as well as duties as Wolvenvale Court Mage

Kenzo: Assistant to the king of Wolvenvale. He once was a journeyman from the kingdom of Jutsu, but ascended in the ranks quickly.

Scott: A well-traveled man of many forms of knowledge. Not many know his lineage is one of royalty.

Antagonists:

Devon: A Dark Knight of unknown origin. His plot to resurrect a great dark power is nearing completion

Fortmortiis: The Demon King, sealed away in ancient times.

Features:

Stock 2000 everything. Oh, and if you beat the game, a battle arena with random "guests" is unlocked.

EDIT: Just remembered you need the RTP 1.32 Add-on to play as well.

Screenshots:

I'll add soon as I take them

PROGRESS REPORT:

-I have removed all of the WAV files from the game (sans a few that were within size constraints) and am in the process of finding suitable replacement music.
-Almost all bugs fixed, including a phantom switch I had messed up with that had been a debugging nightmare for a long time.
-Fixed the Colosseum in the post-endgame. It now requires a special item to access (Granted after beating the final boss)
-Generated an ending movie.

CURRENT HINDERANCES:

-Lack of good MIDIs on my computer
-Unable to convert ending movie to a format RM2K can use (unlike opening movie)
-Lack of time able to fully commit to fixing this at present. Once the holidays pass I may be able to finish it easier, but until then it will be a miracle if it happens before then

Just thought I would update on this

PROGRESS REPORT #2

Yes its been 6 years 10 months and still its not finished. I have been in the process of moving and currently have no internet at my house to log on here (logged in at my mom's)

Anyway, current progress.

Current total progress: 95%

Alpha Release: Coming very, very soon.

-Soundtrack is complete. And totally epic, btw. Admittedly its mostly MIDIs of heavy/progressive metal songs and songs from games, both well known and not.
-More bugfixes complete. Fixed not one but TWO whoppers that would allow for infinite gold

NEW FEATURE!!!

-once the Endgame is finished, in one of the pubs will be a Music Stone. Using this will allow you to listen to any song in the game... for 50 Ryos a song. But by that point that price is pocket change.

Current Hinderances:

-A single bug that is eluding me presently, that results in a game lock up. I and my younger brother are both looking into a cause.
-No way for player to know what number is attached to what song without an included txt file, which I can do but it kinda looks bad... I'll get over it I guess
-Mapping is atrocious. May be moved to Known Issues in the future, if I continue being as lazy about it as I was when I started.

At my rate of work, unless I start remapping, I can probably have this done soon, provided I don't get distracted further.
