Hey there! Glacia is a project that has been in development for more than 3 years now. We have released the final version of Chapter One, and we are posting this here to draw more attention to it. If you have not previously installed the RPG Maker VX RTP (Or don't know what that is), download the Glacia: Chapter One v2.2 RTP Included version of the game below. If you download the regular version, you will also have to download and install the RPG Maker VX RTP from the RTP Standalone link below.

Glacia is a retro/old-school JRPG style game following an epic tale of kingdoms, magic, and betrayal. This is the first of five chapters.

Glacia was initially conceived and developed by CaptainRegal in September of 2008. Since then, several people have assisted with parts of Glacia's design, and the game is currently being developed by CaptainRegal and DarkBox.

We've estimated Chapter One to provide between 5 and 7 hours of game play, and we'll be keeping it around this same amount of game play for every chapter that we release hereafter.

Rain Garshon, the naive young prince of Glacia, awakens to find his wife strangely absent from their bed. Unbeknownst to him, this marks the beginning of nation-shaking treachery that will turn his once blessed life to utter ruin in a single night.

This perpetrator of this betrayal, none other than his very own wife Lailah Garshon, has made it impossible for Rain to return to his kingdom. Now, Rain must travel the world of Elesca searching for proof of his lineage.

However, what he finds is something sinister waiting in his family tree. Before Rain can take back Glacia's throne, he must first discover if it was ever his to begin with.

Spoiler for Glacia's Characters:

- Completely customizable characters.
- Hundreds of build paths for every character.
- A massive game world, split into five unique chapters.
- A fun and easy to use alchemy system.
- No random forced encounters.
- A cool new skilling system, similar to LOTR: The Third Age.
- An entertaining mini-game in every major city.
- Puzzles in each area to provide fun and unique game play!

Looks nice, I love the GUI for the battle system as well as the lighting in Flora Forest Base Camp.

The glow on the letters unfortunately doesn't look so good on a darker background... :s

This looks.. Outstanding!
It appeals to me, but maybe because of those pretty graphics.
Anyways, good work, and good luck in updating it!
PS, The game link is broken.

The link is not broken, just incorrectly formatted. In SMF links do not require / work with quotation marks. The correct link is just this.
This does look good. I see some good mapping technique in here. Good luck with the project.
I'm a little bit curious about this 'Save' folder thing. Surely the script you're using as a save system (is that Neo Save System?) would create the folder itself if it's not there?

Good catch on the link thing. And yes, it SHOULD and it DOES, but not before it errors out and crashes the game.

I got it during battle with Horest. One character was K.O. after Ember Fire, I tried Adrenaline and Horest was killed in this moment... I got second same error in battle with Bashroom, after last enemy was collapsing.

Wild woods. Empty crate was commented by Gaven, even there isn't him in the party:

I completed quest with Antiect Tome, but the bill doesn't dissapeared from inventory. Also, is it was last quest?
Can't find eagle key. I missed, or it's from next chapter?
