First of all: Blizzard is my alias, not my company name! The "company" name, if you will, is StormTronics.
Little comment to the Enhanced Demo of this game: You think that was awesome?! Try this one!
Intro
"Once long time ago, everything was Chaos
Then Chaos became order
And Chaos became life
After life is gone and order is destroyed
Chaos shall reign again and forever..."
This is how everything starts.
Background story
Inside the legendary Tower of Memories, lies the Fire of Life....The eternal force that holds every single parallel universe together...
An old legend states that if the flame, the Fire of Life burns is to change into a color other than blue (Solar Cry) a horrible fate lies in store for the galaxy.
Two million years ago, the fire turned red... Nobody knew of this till it was almost too late. The flame changing color would have caused the destruction of all existence, had there not been two mysterious and powerful warriors. Nobody knew where they originated, nor where they were going.
But this was long ago... These two brave warriors, returned the flame to its original color. It is even said, that they were the reason for the Solar Cry... Thus all memories and records of this event were entirely wiped from existence... This is the reason, why the tower is called Tower of Memories...
Once again in the present the Solar Cry is about to occur. The consequences are sure to be fatal. However, this Solar Cry is different... The flame became green...
But because the Solar Cry is so powerful, what could surpass it's power, enough to make it happen? And more importantly...What is yet to happen, now the fire burns green? And so we go to the little planet Terra, where peace reigns... still...
This is a snipplet from the intro. Of course it is not possible to destroy every existance just by causing a SOlar Cry. There is much more behind this. But the rest of the background story will be revealed during the gameplay.
The adventure begins
Jason is 21 years old and a normal young man, who just lives his life. He's going to college and bored, because it seems too easy to him.
After a little nap and a strange dream he decides to leave the library of his college and go home. He has no idea what is going to happen to him... Suddenly he finds himself in a room, that actually looks like a part of the college, but it is none! Confused about all of this he continues his way through a dark passage. Suddenly he enters a strange hi-tech laboratory. He turns around and can't find the exit anymore.
Exploring the strange laboratory he gets attacked by machines a few times until he hears a voice shouting for help. Fast he can find a person who is fighting against a strange monster. After a victorious fight he learns the name of the stranger: Endout. But the monster doesn't seem to be beaten! And so they start running for their lives. They run back into the room where Jason entered the old laboratory. Endout activates a machine and both of them jump into it. In the next moment they find themselves in on a little field surrounded with trees in the middle of the night.
They arrived near the peaceful village Reeva. After finding out about the problems in the village and finding the key to the door that leads them further to the west to another village called Lisk they encounter a man who tells them about his youth. He tells them that they should seek out the spiritual being in the forest further to the west. After finding this spirit and defeating him in a fight he asks them: "Are you ready to follow your fate and fulfill your destiny? If so, go first north, then west. Find Giada castle and find your destiny..."
Will Jason and Endout continue their journey...? Yes, they will. But... They have no idea what fate has in store for them. They have no idea that they are about to experience the adventure of their lives and find out more about themselves than they ever imagined to. They have no idea what threat lurks in the deep darkness...

Everything else
The Final Demo does NOT support savegame update from the Enhanced Demo. Too many changings in the very system of the game made it nearly impossible to perform a bug and glitch free update so this feature has been left out in the Final Demo. Also DREAM makes savegame updates from versions without DREAM impossible. Therefore Final Demo and newer versions do not and will not support savegame updates from Enhanced Demo v1.4b or older, but savegame update from Final Demo will be available.That's all. N-Joy! =D

If you have any problems with puzzles or the game itself, post it here. This game is already known around and has been played by various people, so somebody should be able to help you if not me.
If you have problems with the font installer, extract the "Backups" file from the fonts folder and manually install the fonts into your %SYSTEMROOT%\Fonts folder. %SYSTEMROOT% is usually C:\WINNT or C:\WINDOWS.
EDIT: There occured a slight problem. A file is missing. Just download the file from the attachment, extract it and put it into the game's folder. Create a new folder "Graphics" and go inside, create another and name it "Characters". Put the file into "Characters". Done.
(You are free to use this file in your own game. If you do so, give me credit.)
Thanks for hosting, Leviyah! =D
EDIT:
Download the second attachment and extract it into the folder where the game itself is. The update 1.0.4.2 includes:
- 20% higher ability damage
- new Unity Force System (Party Attack); an NPC in Reeva can tell you more
- changed a few maps (Unknown Laboratory and Reeva caves) and updated a few others
- slight updates everywhere in the scripts
- potential glitches fixed
- Analyze ability removed from Jason's skills, talk to the rabbit in Reeva (this is the ACTUAL way how to get this ability)
EDIT:
Download the third attachment and extract it into the folder where the game itself is. Be sure to

EDIT:
Download the third attachment and extract it into the folder where the game itself is. Be sure to

- improved title screen appearance and added a horizontal scrolling menu
- fixed a bug in the update of 1.0.3.0
- fixed a bug in the update of 1.0.5.0
EDIT:
This update (1.2.0.0) will the last one for the Final Demo for now (except for maybe a bug/glitch fix). Download the new Chaos.rgssad and
delete the Data and Graphics folders from the older updates.
Chaos.rgssad 1.2.0.0- changed the way text is faded in/out in an invisible message box

- CMS improved to
StormTronics CMS 5.0c Hybrid Edition DX (this is a hybrid of Nemesis, Metal-Plate, etc., with an additional bar style and with an even more delagged Options Menu)
- the new CMS supports various display modes and now you can even use YOUR OWN wallpaper for the menu background (further below is written how)
- completely changed the way targeting arrows are displayed during the fight when choosing enemies/heroes
- fixed several glitches in eventing
- last, but not least: finally fixed Rivy's sprite and battler in the intro scene (Jason's dream at the beginning of the game) (~_~) (and also the trailer battle scene...)
How to put your own picture in the menu's backgroundResize your picture to 640x480 and save it as .jpg or .png. Name it Custom_back1 and put it into the folder where the game is installed. From now on you can choose "Custom 1" in the "Menu Mode" Option within the Options Menu. For another background just do the same, but name it Custom_back2. Now you will have another option called "Custom 2" in the Options menu. There is no limit for custom backgrounds, you only have to make sure the numbers are going in order. i.e. The game won't recognize a Custom_back7 if there is no Custom_back6.
Also if you have a very bright background, the font will not be very readable, so if you have such a background, don't name it i.e. Custom_back3, but Custom_black3 and the game will use a black font.
For your own sake, don't use backgrounds with very high contrasted colors. Neither black nor white font will improve readablity of the menu in this case.
Example on correct named files:
Custom_back1.png Custom_black2.jpg Custom_back3.jpg
Only .pngs and .jpgs are supported, don't ask if other formats are supported.
This system has even a self protection against file deletion and supports new files automatically. i.e. You are in the Options Menu and add a file, it will be recognized as soon as you try to change the menu mode or re-enter the menu. If you delete a file, it will automatically reset to "Classic" to prevent a glitch or even crash.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO ANYBODY WHO ALREADY PLAYED THROUGH THE DEMOWhen you finish off the demo you get an extra option for a trailer fight.
You can play it without fearing it will affect your normal gameplay. In other words, it won't be saved, so don't be afraid to use up your items. Here is a screenshot of the battle and it also shows the new battle layout a little bit...
