Futaiten: Book of Days & Faereality: A Modern Fairy Tale ~TWO Available Demos~

Futaiten: Book of Days  -->Download Now<-- (maker: RM2k3)
 

Due to numurous requests, I have uploaded another demo of Futaiten: Book of Days.  I want everyone at this forum to hava a chance to play my game.    I hope you enjoy it.  The artwork is just over a year old, and I'm not sure if I really like it...  oh, and I think some of the jokes are really stupid, but they seemed to make people laugh the last time around, so I didn't change anything.  This demo includes bug fixes and another dungeon (more of a half-dungeon), so I encourage even those who played through the previous demo to give this one a try, too!

Description:
The Kingdom of Longevity is prospering, as it is in an age of peace.
The divine rule of the Fair Queen of Elves has assured that this era of harmony will continue hereafter.
Of course, that makes for a very boring video game, doesn't it?
Experience for yourself the epic unfolding of events in this seemingly-ideal kingdom.
Deception, betrayal, and chaos are the true masters of this universe, and it's up to YOU to let the truth become known.
Become a part of the legend as you experience Futaiten: Book of Days.

Features:
~Action battle system (I tried to imitate the Link to the Past battles as much as I could, dunno if I did a good job on that, but in any case it's more interesting than turn-based battles).
~Multiple playable characters.  Dialogue and game progress changes depending upon which of the eight playable characters is selected.  Weapons and spells vary among characters; teamwork is vital for the many puzzles present.
~Custom menu system which displays characters, spells, a healing option, Save & Quit.
~Custom message system, accompanied by hand-drawn artwork.




Faereality: A Modern Fairy Tale  -->(Download via Attachment)<--  (maker: RM2k3)


I spent most of the summer working on this.    Artwork of the characters has been available in the gallery on my site, but besides that I haven't shared any information about this game.  If you're interested in a game that takes place in a modern setting, or just looking for a unique game to play, or if you're just a scary Yossy stalker, you should definitely give this a try!

Description:
Every day, human beings work hard to make their living.
So much time and effort is put into the work they do each day, and for what?
To put food on the table?  To provide for a family?
To survive?
The phenomenon is a mystery to onlookers, because, overall, the population of the human race is unhappy.
In times considered "ancient," by human standards, people began to create ways of excaping the mediocrity.
They were storytellers.
The storytellers set the foundation for what would later become known as "fairy tales" to the modern society.
Overall, the fairy tales are regarded as children's stories - naive and impractical.
One adolescent girl wonders ... what if?

Features:
~AMAZING action battle system: player must press keys which correspond with the enemy's attacks (up, down, left/right).  Each "syphoned" attack increases the gauge at the bottom of the screen.  Gather more energy for stronger attacks!
~Custom menu system which displays collected health and inventory, as well as Save & Quit.
~Custom message system, accompanied by hand-drawn artwork.
~MIDI's sequenced by Bridget.

[edit] Attached to thread =D

[edit] what, that's too small. *tries again*

[edit] okay wtf, hmm.. oh, so I got a corrupt file from savefile ~_~ which now isn't working at all ;-;

[edit] Geez like 10 tries from savefile (at like 11kb/s) to get a complete file ;-; wtf is up with savefile =o

Awsome. I played this during the summer.. It was reeeeaaall nice. Loved the battle system and face sets.

One question though: DO you like elves? lol. Just wondering. 

Yay! I will download laterz.

Okay, download Silverline's version I guess. 

I suppose I do like elves, but if you pay attention to the scholars in the city they explain that magic is only useable by elves, and there is a reason why all of the heroes require magic but I cannot tell it to you at this time.

I downloaded both demos.  Now I'm off to get 2k3 so I can play them. ~

I've been playing Futaiten, got killed ;_;

I'll go play again tonight =o

I'm gonna Dl this and play it during winter break.

i loved futatien, although the battle system annoyed me a bit when i wasn't used to it. My computer is...wounded...now, but when it is healed i shall play this game.

Something is wrong with this picture!!

Futaiten has been downloaded 18 times, but Faeeality only has 3 downloads.

Come on, I worked hard on that game.  :'(


Please play it?

Looks awesome Ill play it when I get home, I know you could end up putting alot of effort into a game that never gets played these days,

I applaud your awesomeness.  _{And Jing fandom.}

Downloading Rar now  but it looks good so far!

~Winged

*cries* my computer wont do rar, why is life so painfully cruel!

Alright I'll DL them, but I can't tell when I'll have time to play them.
Say, wasn't Futaiten the game made by you without the use of any switches?

Download winrar, it'll say the trial version is used up after thirty days but uh...who...cares?

Alright I'll DL them, but I can't tell when I'll have time to play them.

YES.  Bu don't talk about it... <_<  It is a hideous blemish on my ego.

They both look real nice: Lot's of effort and very colorful. I love the look 

AND...how is it a blemish to make Futaiten without switches?

I downloaded both, but have only played Futaiten so far... and I keep dying LOL. It's pretty fun though, and it has a nice look to it. And the choice of music is pretty awesome too. ~ Actually, I think I'll have a try at it again in a few minutes.

I'll play the other one tonight likely as well.

Oh man, the music. I especially like the Riviera themes. Where ever did you get them?

YES.  Bu don't talk about it... <_<  It is a hideous blemish on my ego.

BLEMISH?! You have to be an extreme 1337 to make a game without using switches. :O

Surprisingly, VGmusic.com.  I frequently visit the newly-uploaded files page.  It usually takes a week or longer before the newly-uploaded MIDIs are added to the regular database.

Maybe, but what it did involve was a million different maps all of the same town or whatever.  It's kind of embarassing that I put that much effort into it when I really didn't have to, especially considering my programming knowledge now.  Looking through the common events used in Faereality, I can't believe there was ever a time that I didn't understand switches or variables.

good point, so it is both a blemish and a...

good markie...thingie.

About music...

It just hit me. They never had more than a few Riviera songs on the page...lol, thanks for that tip

Playing Faereality now. Just finished the intro ~

The screen was like "Play the Intro?", and I said, "LOL, OK", and then there were flowers. ~

So the flowers threw me off when the intro started, because it's actually kind of sad. Whether or not it's 100% true-to-life, it's a very good intro. And now, I'm off to actually play some.

EDIT: Attached screenshot, because I laughed so hard at this, and I don't really know why. I think the delerium from staying awake so long is kicking in. !_!

BTW, I like your mapping and the tilesets, etc., which am sure are made by you.

EDIT EDIT: So far, I'm honestly liking this more than Futaiten. ~ The battles are more fun than I thought they'd be.

ROFL! thats great.
WHoa, pokemon styled character sets? holy shit im playing this.
