Some of us ancients are still working on program such as Rpg Maker, yes! I was too lazy to look well around, but I doubt there would be more suiting board for this anyway!

This is fruition of what I have been working for a month, non-stop, for a Halloween game creation contest

Elegy's Eve

Status: Complete
Estimated Playtime: 1 - 2 hours
Engine: Rpg Maker, but the game runs without the program or RTP installed, as well.

Download Link:

Those who need fonts for standalone game:

Category: Puzzle / Story

Description: The game tells a story about Hollows, a scarecrow never attending the celebration of Halloween, and a young girl, Mia, whose family travels to Uncle Bismar's estate to spend Halloween. This but which is a pefect place to feed the rich imagination of young Mia.

Gameplay:
Avoid the ghosts and other creatures of the same ilk. You have 3 Life Points, presented as pumpkins on top left corner
of your screen.

If you faint from damage received, you may use a "Continue" option, in case you are currently playing through a level. You can
use a "Continue" for 9 times. "Continue" cannot be used at the playability bits outside of the actual Levels.
Levels are a kind of "restricted" gameplay areas, that you need to accomplish as fast as you can, and taking as little
damage as possible. They start When you see a countdown, and end when you have accomplished the goal of the particular level.

Collecting a small pumpkin rewards you 1 point of Life and cuts 10 seconds from the time elapsed.

Note:
This game's focus is on the Halloween theme itself. Please understand all of the levels aren't likely to be very balanced,
nor accomplished in comparison to each other, because of the given timelimit and the related development issues, but I hope you can still enjoy the game as whole!

Another Note: If you are not a friend of difficult games or a lot of reading, this might not be so much of your thing, but I still
recommend the game to everyone.

Gameplay-wise significant known bugs: About in two cutscenes you cannot move, unless you call the menu from cancel button. So if the game freezes, call the menu.

One more note: The game has been translated by an english person too, in case you were worried of my bad english. :)

Moved to Game Making forum. =p

I really like the way the game looks in the screenshots. I'll have to try playing it after I get back from class (have to study for a test at the moment). My computer doesn't seem to like RPG Maker games right now, but I can still try it on someone else's compy.

EDIT: By the way, nice to see you again, Rei.

Well if you want to, sure you can. But it's already hosted in RMN as well. Even so, why not?
It'd be cool!

And hi Star, good to see you! :P

And yeah Monkey, it's made in Rpg Maker 2003, but the game mechanics have pretty little to do with the program, and you can play the game without having the program itself at all.

What I was really looking forward to was especially comments of the MP people about the game. ^^"

I'm sorry Rei-, I haven't had time.

I got through the beginning cut scene just now...and then kept dying. >_>

So I'll try when I'm more awake. Seems great though.

I beat this a day or two ago. I've already given Rei my comments, but to you other people, Levels 1 and 2 are the hardest, and you will probably die a lot on them. Keep trying though, you'll get it eventually.

He's still around, and actually, is planning on releasing a demo soon. I don't think it's for his main project- just another contest thing, but I might be wrong. I was due to beta it, but he never hit me up for it. Hm.

Do you remember what his last game was called? *looks up* Nevermind. I was thinking of The Puppet, which was apparently cancelled. =(

That aside, you should all click on the banner in Rei's sig and watch the videos if you haven't already. Impressive stuff.
