Alright, this is my project I've been gathering resources for lately. I haven't really got far mapping-wise yet, but I'm concentrating fully on it now so I'll keep it updated here.
For starters: I tried to use as less RTP sets as possible, and you can expect all music custom, but I can't find my needs in custom tilesets, so the tilesets are plain RTP, at least until the first demo.

Intro
Welcome to Destino, an Earth-incarnation planet where everything can happen. Nothing too crazy to be called fantasy.
On Earth, you'd be totally frightened by a living tree or trashcan. However, on Destino, nothing is impossible.
Destino, the world where everything is possible and where people gather their courage to face up to their destiny.
Plot
Eight elements on the planet: Fire. Ice. Thunder. Water. Earth. Wind. Light. Darkness.
In the dimension of the Goddess, each element has it's shrine with it's relic.
These relics keep the environment in order. However, it is said that those that posess all relics can turn the world at their hand and will receive total immortality.
Two demons, Damion and Sheila, have somehow found a way to acces this godly dimension.
They infiltrated shrine after shrine, stealing the relics. The elemental Goddesses tried to stop them, but were overwhelmed by the immense power of these demons and were sealed up in their very own shrines.
Damion and Sheila's intention? To turn the world into a demon world where they rule over everything and everyone. Total chaos and destruction.
However, by a stroke of luck, some people find out about what´s awaiting for them.
They eventually meet each other and decide to travel together to do whatever is in their power to stop Damion and Sheila.

Features
- Caterpillar
- CBS (Not sure on this yet, depends on how it works out)
- Fully custom music I'm sure everyone will like
- Eight playable characters; either I'm going to have to find out how to make eight-man parties, otherwise you will be able to substitute between characters.
- AMS
- Each character has it's own unique story: This means you don't start out with the whole team going after Damion and Sheila, you get to play with every single character solo before they find each other.
- Special weapons for certain characters, each weapon with it's own unique quest
Screenshots
I haven't really got much screenshots yet, but I'll show you what I can.

------------------
Update: I created a sort-of updated Chrono Trigger message box to match the CMS. As the developer of this project, it's only right I tell you what keeps me busy from releasing a demo: The CBS. RMXP's battle system is simply bad and Destino Temps deserves better, I think. That's why I'll focus on the CBS for now, when that's done, the first demo will probably be released soon.
This looks like a reasonable start, Need some screenshots though. for the characters they look okay, the plot is fine, good luck with it.
Thanks for your comment, I added the rest of the characters, the features, and two screenshots.
I'll post more screenshots and updates tonight or tomorrow.
Another screenshot here, this is a perfect example of another feature in my game;
The choices you make sometimes have effect on how people act against you or on things later on in the game.
If you talk to this guy and you go along with his story, you'll receive some potions, if you don't he'll just nod at you.

I expect a demo very soon... I've been all busy with the music, so I hope ya gonna like it ^^
UPDATE: Major feature added: ~Chrono Trigger-style CMS! Hell yeah. And yup, like it was in Chrono Trigger, the save files display chapter names too.

this looks good..I will message a mod to move this to the main forum
This game looks great, I'll keep posted on its progress.
TIP: When adding updates, add it to the main post. This is what people see first, so you need more info there. To bump the topic so people know of the updates, simply post a reply saying there are updates on the first post/page.
Good pics!, cant wait for the demo, I hope it comes out soon,
I agree. This is a great looking game. But, why is it here? There is another topic of it here, saying its been moved, but its still here...
All right, I did a slight update in the main post, also I can tell I'm confident I can release a demo soon, wich will introduce you to Cynthia, the female pirate.
It will probably let you play through a certain part of her character story. I have yet to decide whether I will release demo's for each character's story introduction, or just to create one demo which I will keep updating.
It doesn't really matter in the player's point of view, though.
I made more then one demo, but I could have just updated the first. However, my first demo was made as a demo, as a new project completley.
lol looks like my game!!! a lil bit... lol its ok. it looks cute. i think the green bandana guy i re-coloured lol ;) ummm looks good, but the title screen is a little cheesy, like u can hav the title there, but a caption under it makes it cheesy, a lil bit. lol and i noticed you used the pirate girl charset straight from the website. if u noticed in my game i made her white top a little higher up on the charset cuz her boobs hang out. lol so use that one instead cuz the one from the website bothers me :P but otherwise looks good ;D
Thank you for all the tips.
I have to mention though I can't work on the project for a while, and probably won't be active for a while here too, because my PC has problems and I need to format it somehow.
Until then, my friends.
Looks good. Can't wait to try it.

Ok, good luck.
Sorry for double post, but wasn't this moved back to New Projects?
My internet is having slight problems, and I may have to format my PC.
I really want to show you what I have been working on, but I cannot continue for a while, rather, I have to back up everything first (and that's pretty much considering all the special music I put in)
Also, do not think I quit this project while my activity here smallens, because that is not true.
I will continue as soon as I can, but with the spirit I have now, I can't continue anyway or it won't be as good as it should be.
Thanks for understanding.
Looking good, good luck on the project and demo release. :)
One comment about the beach house -ish screenshot though, the beach yard west of the house is a bit too square-ly, I think it can be covered by importing the animated ocean water autotiles into the tileset.
I added some more characters in the first post, neutral Demons this time.
Also, I'd like to hear ideas for CBS'es from you, after all, I want a CBS comfortable for the player.
@Reives: I changed it, I think it looks better now.

~Winged
As I've probably already said, I agree. I can't wait for a demo.
Well, I still haven't resolved my save/load problem yet, so there won't be many updates since I'm trying to figure something out. Although I'm slightly losing motivation, but I'm thinking of adding some more characters on the neutral side.
How come every game has to have fat joe as a "bad guy"?

Lol I dunno, I wanted to include him in the game, so first I was thinkin' about lettin' him work together with Damion and Sheila, but he'd be a little outclassed then. I think he looks to evil to be on the good side, so I made him a so-so idiot that screws up most of the time.
Edit: Update: I removed the CT CMS. Maybe I'll add it again later, but I can't proceed like this, so I had no choice. Expect more updates from now on, I'm thinking of trying some CBS'es.
