Soldier's Quest 1.5.09.2008 DEMO 3 PLAYABLE TEASER

[DISCLAIMER]

This is a game I made back in 2002, it was in spanish language, then now in 2007 it was just sitting on my computer, then I decided to translate it and do some sort of remake, while keeping the old look, but just better. To know about the version update of the game, please refer to the What's NEW section below... if you decide to play this DEMO, if you give feedback, focus on the game itself, the bugs/errors aren't as important as I beta test this game all the time. Exclusive custom resources for Soldier's Quest, are not to be used in your games without permission. For more concrete information, check the credits section at the end of this post.

-Official in-game Prologue-
Long ago... In ancient legends, it tells of the existence of powerful dark power capable of destroying anything it touches. Bloodlines, the legendary magic Only known by mysterious owners of a vast and powerful land... the Nox hierarchy.

It is unknown how the Nox, inheritors of this power, could handle such magnificent energy without being consumed by it while casting it. Although They could have conquered the world easily with this power, they only used it to work on making their land the most advanced civilization on earth.

As time passed people became amazed by the Nox's knowledge and power, up to the point that greed took over them and the world was engulfed in the flames of war. As the battles continued, casualties increased great enough for both sides, including members of the Nox hierarchy, causing it's ruler to take drastic measures against the rest of the world.

The Nox ruler casted Bloodlines, unleashing chaos and destruction to everything that was across it's path, to the point that the world itself would become extinct. But not everything was lost. Seven maidens with the power of Light  reunited and casted a powerful magic in order to seal this malevolent power.

With Bloodlines unavailable the Nox hierarchy was defeated, and their land was forsaken in the dust. For generations the holy maidens were there to protect the seal in order to prevent humanity's greed from causing future catastrophes...

Many years have passed after this great conflict making these tragic events part of the past, but not for long, as once again rumors have arisen of the existence of a survivor from the Nox hierarchy...

Looks really good!
keep going!

Those cutscenes look really great. And, despite being a little empty, the maps also look excellent. I'll download it and try it out; Nice work so far, and I'm impressed. Good luck with the rest of your project.

And, as this meets the requirements for being moved to the regular projects section,

* modern algebra moves

thanks i hope you enjoy the game man. And yeah this is a beta version, so most things are basic and the maps are sort of empty, compared as how im planning they will be, but i assure you thats for now, i promise to make this project as enjoyable as possible... and i know i ended posting this in another subforum from this section, its because post new topic is disabled in this section, really. And i apologize
well if you manage to play the game, please give feedback, for the game in general, bugs and other technical problems will be fixed

No, no, don't apologize. That's the way it's supposed to be 

In order to reduce the clutter of games that aren't going anywhere, all projects have to be posted in New Projects and then if the project meets requirements it is moved by a mod. No need to apologize.

Looks neat.

That was fun. I played through the demo. It was kind of short and I think levelling occurs a bit too fast. All in all though, it was really enjoyable and I liked it. I also liked seeing good grammar and spelling. That seems somewhat rare in RM games lately :-/ Anyway, I am intrigued and am awaiting the next installment.

Glad you liked it. I'm currently working on the next installment, it will have a lot of improvements in the areas that is needed, I know that there are not as many NPCs, and some little things like that, but it's cause of the beta version, It's why also the only playable part is the prologue, which is about 20 mins gameplay, as much I would say.
I will keep you updated for the next installment! Thanks for the feedback.

hey everyone, I have released a new demo about S.Q. just now, check it out if you are interested! I fixed many things around this time.

I am downloading now. It looks very cool.

Though, your link has quotations around it, so it's a little broken.

HAHAHA, I noticed that, thanks for letting me know man, oh and please give me feedback if you manage to play this new demo!

"Heath Warfare". What a cool name.

I didn't noticed that you guys still checked this thread out... well, I updated it, with the new info and playable teaser of the upcoming version demo #3.

the screens look good.
I like the use of Tales of- side view battlers, they're some of my favorite

Yeah, I'm a fan of the battle characters from tales of the world games, my ultimate goal is to learn how to make them from scratch without needing to edit them haha, but that will take a while. Either way, hope you enjoyed the game.

EDIT:

The link to download the game seemed to be down or erroneous, I fixed it now:

Download the game here...

played it, but meh, won't give it more then a 10/10

I mean, really. The maps are so good and the game has so many good elements, i mean. And there's comedy too, like the old guy saying that Lucia has a good rack. I mean c'mon.
Then, birds fly around. We've never seen that in a game, so this game is creative. Awesome.

The musics excellent, i mean man the music...Also, the cutscenes are awesome. Whenever we enter a new map, there's a small saying at the bottom of the location we are in.
i mean


Lol jk man, i meant that all in a good way, ofcourse. This game rules~

I'm downloading as I type this.
This game looks to be quite impressive
