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.
Now it's 2008 and I can't believe I've been working on this thing so long. 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 then I think you'll like it. 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 based on my life. Most of the characters were my friends from high school and it takes place in a fictionalized Aptos, California 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

------
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

lol, looks interesting. When I've got time, I'll download it and give it a try. For now, I'll move it to finished projects board, since it's complete.

I actually find this great because it's an awesome concept. Most people make medieval war stories, I don't like that much and appreciate this.
I'll definately try this out.
Not being sarcastic, you little bishes.
Glad to see 2K3 still in use
This game makes me laugh. Nice job, something away from the typical RPG genre.
