History: I started working on this game way, way back in 2001. I had a bunch of projects and wanted to actually finish one. Since then I have worked on it on and off when I had time. In 2003 I switched to Rpg maker 2003. in 2006 I finished it, but there were bugs and the sidequests weren't finished.
I don't think it's the best game ever made (that's AA2  :naughty:) but if you like games that don't take themselves too seriously like OMGZ final fantasy ripoff 9993984 then I think you'll like it. It's kinda like Earthbound. There aren't too many funny games out there anymore so I wanted to make a game that could be funny but still have good gameplay.

Story: The story is somewhat LOOSELY based on my life in high school. Most of the characters were my friends from high school and it takes place in my hometown of Aptos, California (though it looks nothing like it) located in the greater Santa Cruz "Archipelago". The year is 20XX, (okay, like 2003 if we're going by which of my classes are in the game  :gwa:)
Nick is an ordinary high school student about to start his first day of a new semester. Meanwhile his family is kidnapped by a vengeful teacher. What begins as a quest to rescue them unfolds into an EPIC BATTLE TO SAVE THE WORLD. Yeah, it's cliche, but what do you expect, I was like 16 when I started making this.
Aptos Adventures 2 will have a way better story, instead it's an EPIC BATTLE TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE.

Characters:
Playable
--------------
Nick- My alter ego and main character. Weapon: Giant Pencil. special: pencil attacks
Cooper- Nick's twin brother. He's 10 minutes older than Nick. Does that mean in 10 Minutes Nick will gain his knowledge? Nick and Coop can team up for specials
Brett- Friend of Nick and Coop. Searching for his lost brother riley.
Ethan-Friend of Nick and Coop. Searching for the lost kingdom of Jewjinia. (I'm being anti-antisemitic, not antisemitic, there's a difference)
Riley- Brett's long lost brother. Last scene in the Snowfalls region....
Tobin-A mysterious alien whose world has been enslaved by Welshbon and Goobindos. Not much is known about him other than he's a good guy
Satchel- Nick and Cooper's family dog. (Hidden character)

Non-playable
---------------
Good
----------
Crazy Nerd- Offers advice and items. Seems to know it's only a game...
Alex- Nerdy kid that sells items since there aren't too many towns. Think Toad in Mario RPG
Question Mark Guys- A mysterious race who speak like yoda. They wear black bodysuits to hide their true form. Friends of Tobin.
------
Evil
-----
Cody- A slovenly creature, Cody's dungeon is not a place you want to enter...
Goobindos- Not much is known about Goobindos or his race. They seem to snort alot and like pink. Enslaved Tobin's world
Welshbon-Cooper's 10th grade physics teacher. Lives only to make his students fail. He takes revenge on cooper and captures him and his family

Game Features:
-SUITS. Think jobs like in Final Fantasy 5/Tactics.
-Voice acting for cutscenes.
-Action Battles, action minigames where you have to take down a boss or solve a puzzle
-8 chapters, the game is about 30 hours long, but if you don't use suits, it makes game harder and 10-12 hours long (short but sweet. I hate games that have filler
-Newgame+

Features in COMPLETE version:
-bug-free (is that a feature?  :shh:)
-More voice acting
-more cutscenes
-more story (and more importantly no plot holes)
