The Secrets of Kankara is a project that has been in development for 3 years. It started out on RMXP, but is now on RMVX Ace (and it was recommended that I start a new topic for that reason). It uses a number of scripts, but the primary one is XAS Ace Edition.
The backstory is, an evil court mage is attempting to release an evil into the world from Tenebris (the dimension of shadow and corruption). The main character is the grandson of a former court mage who is trying to stop it from happening. The main character sets off on his adventure after he hears a plea for help echo in his mind.

Music From The Game
IMPORTANT NOTICE
I realize that some are downloading the project strictly for the audio, you have to check the ending credits in the game to see their usage stipulations, as most of them are in the creative commons under a CC-BY or CC-BY-SA License, both of which require a link to the artist's page.
Also, some of the music that is/will be used in the game was obtained through license purchasing, so not all of what's in their can be used legally unless you pay for it like I did. If it's not creative commons, it probably isn't safe to use without the license. Just a friendly warning, take heed or not.

Updated to Ver. 1.1
Minor bug fixes as well as one game freezing one. Minor graphical update as well; sword swing graphic for hero (not finished).
Note: If you encounter any bugs or problems in game and would like to help me find them, just press the "S" key (or LB/L1 on controller) and write down the number, this is a map id number that I can use to find the problem to help fix it.
When you come across any problems, just type up a message with the map number included like so:
"Name of Problem"
Map: (number in message box)
What you did when the bug occurred, if it can be repeated, and where you were in the map.
Thanks for helping with this! I hope you enjoy the game.
I've updated the demo to v1.0, the change list is as follows:
- Full time and weather system (time moves at a pace and effects things like shop openings, events that occur only at night, etc., weather will change on it's own depending on where the player is)
- Item creation (the player will have to craft some of the items used in game, using materials that are often dropped by enemies, bushes, etc.)
Credits are too long to list here, however there are credits at the end of the demo.
This game tends to be process heavy because of some screen effects. It will likely not impede running programs, but other programs will interfere with the game's frame rate. It is highly recommended that you play it with no other programs open.
I fixed your video link.
To embed a youtube video on RMRK, you take the last tag in the URL and put it in a tag.
For example:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL0tx7xpci4
into
[yt]PL0tx7xpci4[/yt]
and the result is:
Anyway your game looks neat, it shows you've put a lot of time and work into the gameplay components. :ma:

Aha, ok it was "yt" lol. I wondered what it would've been, I was typing "youtube" as the tag. I've never seen "yt" before, but thanks for fixing that and showing me. ;D
And thank you, I have (not sure what I typed here now, my posts keep getting spammed with imageshack stuff?). It took the longest to really put it all together, but since the basis is now done, it won't take too long to finish the main story. The next biggest part is adding side quests, but that'll be added after the rest is finished already.
