November 2009
Excited and Nervous, scientists in europe fired up what could be argued as man's largest scale
experiment in history.  The Large Hadron Collider.
All systems checked clean and the recent repairs and modifications were holding well.
Soon thereafter, the first protons were entered into the system, and were collided.
The Science Team hadn't the time to react to the readings, as the rift opened and engulfed them all
in an instant..


The characters of Planeswalker have all been changed by this new dimension.  Each have lost
the most important aspect of what makes them who they are.

Meeting up by chance, they have decided it's time to go.

Amaranth

A freelance reporter who snuck through the portal in an effort to break the story of this new dimension.
What he lost is a mystery to his comrades.
Starting Element - Wind
Starting Strength - Speed

Sydney

A young poet who made the voyage into the new realm in search of new inspiration.
Sydney has lost her emotions, becoming a restless sociopath.
Starting Element - Savior
Starting Strength - Special

Claire

A historian looking to catalogue quite possibly the greatest historical event within the last
hundred years.  She has lost her long term memory and cannot recall anything before having stepped
through the portal.
Starting Element - Fire
Starting Strength - Physical

The title of the game reminds me strictly of Magic the Gathering.

[tSwitch]

It has absolutely nothing to do with the modern Planeswalker cards.
I have had this story in my head since Highschool (well...the main story, this is a prologue to it)

[Grafikal]

I wasn't really referring to the cards as I was just the MTG lore in general. Planeswalkers have been since the beginning of MTG. It's only recently that Wizard included cards as them.

Regardless, I totally love the screenshots and features you have in this. I'll definitely be downloading this later sometime when I can get a good hour or so of free time in.

ninjabump: download link added.

That story is probably the most interesting story I've ever seen in an RPG Maker game.
It's looking quite good, good luck on getting this thing finished.

[Ryosis]

I like the prologue. I don't think I've seen a game that uses the LHC as a plot device of sorts, so bonus points for originality. Other than that, I like the battle system. It seems very clean.

[tSwitch]

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves.
(Also glad the topic is getting attention lol)

[joy]

Played through the first zone so far. Really digging this battle system and the mapping.

[tSwitch]

thank you joy, that battle system is going to be a staple across the Planeswalker series.

(this is the prologue for a larger story "Planeswalker Chronicles")

I played this during the GIAW as a judge, and I thought it was impressive then.  Suberb mapping and grand choice of original music, plus with an excellent and unique battle system and motivating story. Lets see how you've improved it since the GIAW.

Also, why is this still in RMXP Projects? Come on now, Nam, you're a super mod, move your shit to the finished projects board on your own.

I sped up leveling a bit, and lowered the random encounter rate to make it easier on players.

Also it'd get Zero attention in finished projects.  I'd like the game to be seen and played by interested people before moving it into a dead archive of projects that nobody reads about.

Loved the Mapping in this game. Those battles had made me think rather than 'spamming'. :0 Loved the Music, and liked the overall story, I have to say, that ending sure was surprising :3

I'm glad you liked the game Karo

[Sebastian Cool ^-^]

you went to the game

your image is kind of offensive, if it's that important to you, make it a little smaller and place it in your signature.

[tSwitch]

I went to the game?

[Grafikal]

yeah sorry, i can't fix his stupid outside of the VX forums. I've been cleaning up random spammy videos and images that he's been posting like mad in the VX forums.

[Karo Rushe]

you went to the game

Don't spam great Game Thread with offensive cr*p

[tSwitch]

I don't get it.

[NPC]

Great game, it was fun and felt really original and unique. Loved the battle/advancing system.

Only problems I could find were some slight mapping/eventing errors that you overlooked with simple solutions.

1.[spoiler]
That is no bird (change to directional fix)[/spoiler]
2.[spoiler]
Clair steps forward... onto the top of a rock (move the rock one space down or to the left)[/spoiler]
3.[spoiler]
all papers on the wall of the jail are climbable, this is just one of the few times you can get two in a row (make non passable)[/spoiler]

[tSwitch]

thanks for the feedback, I thought for sure I had fixed that bird thing, and I didn't know about the last mapping error so I'll go fix those now.

as for the battle screens, I put them together in a rush and there are a couple where she walks over something she otherwise shouldn't.
Basically the battleback is a 640x480 screenshot of a map you can't go to in the game.
I just didn't get around to fixing that one before I finished the game

Edit:
> passability fixed
> bird fixed
> beach battleback fixed
-- uploading version 1.04

[Grafikal]

When you have 1.04 uploaded, I'll download and play =]

[tSwitch]

v1.04 is uploaded and the download link is updated.

[Karo Rushe]

I must say Namckor, this is one of those games that I wish it just didn't finish >__>;;

[NPC]

Am I the only one who saw the ending coming... and does that mean there is something wrong with me?
(What, you don't know the ending? Then play NAMCOR's awesome game to find out.)
