You are Eric Loire, a veteran of the ten year war. Two years has passed since and the two kingdoms have sought peace. But it now appears that peace could be broken. Having been falsely accused of stealing the Dragon's Tear, the symbol of truce between the two nations, you set off and try to find the real thief and clear your name.

Made with Rpg Maker 2003.

Posted Image Eric Loire

Eric is a charming, dashing man with a sharp and cunning wit. Eric comes across as cocky and self-centered at times, but his trust in his partner in crime Aura & brother in arms Hawke is absolute. Eric is a burglar and a manipulator who waltzes through danger nonchalantly, as though the world cannot touch him. Searching for treasures & gaining notoriety as a thief ever since leaving the army during the war, Eric is an opportunist at work.

Posted Image Aura Renault

Aura has a mysterious past and she likes to keep it that way. Having grown up in an orphanage in Laray, she has always had to struggle to get by. Learning the hardships of life early on chosing a life of crime, partial to theft/burglary. Aura prefers to keep things professional between her and Eric, although there are times it is hinted it could be more than that.

Posted Image Hawke Forres

Grew up with a wealthy and privileged upbringing. His father was a very well respected, upstanding man & Mayor of Coleridge. His mother left he & his father when he was just six years old. Growing up with a very restricted lifestyle, knowing how much pressure he was under to succeed. He was taught by the best tutors in the country and was top of his class every year. In the eyes of many, he looked like he was heading on his way to becoming a worthy successor to his father.

Which is why when his joining of the army was such a shock to most. His father though, wrought with anger disowned him and denied him his lineage.

Posted Image Cole Revera

The son to the great king Gerald of Revera. Prince of the great nation and perceived as a kind hearted individual to his people. But beneath that farce lies a hunger for power & desperation to ascend to the throne. Opposed to the peace agreement til the end knowing full well his country could have won the war, Cole envelopes himself in finding his own limitations.

Posted Image


So what have I been up to:

Well hungover as hell but I've managed to post this topic. Happy New Year everyone, my resolution is to finish this game and to stop myself from throwing up.

Small thing: it should "Our stuff's in here then?" or "Our stuffs are in here?"

"Stuff's" always sounds a bit awkward to my ear so I prefer just saying "stuff is" or "belongings/items/ are".

Ah, I was wondering when this game might get its own topic. I can't really play RM games on my computer right now, but...
...Oh snap. I forgot that they work on my laptop. I shall have to go download Kasper's game and give it a try.
But yeah, as I was going to say, I always enjoy seeing updates on your game. xp
Is there a demo available (now that I've remembered I can actually play it)?

I like the first screen better, but that's just me. I can see the grassy details more than in the second.

Would have posted when I first saw this, but I was feeling groggy and paranoid. xp

I concur with Kamau. Also the darker grass in the first one goes better with the water tiles, methinks.

EDIT: On the other hand, the brighter grass in the new version matches the bright trees and the other green accents better. Tough call.

I think it matters on whether you want the feeling to be more bright and happy or dark and pessimistic.

I think the new grass looks garish. The first one is more easy on the eyes, which is what grass should be.

I'm curious, what was your reasoning?

I took every ones advise and for some reason whenever I ask these questions regarding DT people always go 50/50 except when it came to the title screen. I'd like a more vibrant feel for that particular area basically.

Thank you guys for the continued support and patience & for almost 50 subs, wow! So to commemorate this little milestone I decided to take a quick video of the town I'm(still) working on. The town itself isn't currently finished as I still have to make the interiors for the rest of the houses/shops other than the inn. Create the sewer dungeon underneath the town as well, add more detail and NPCs, etc.

Story behind the water going trough the town is it was built at the edge of the island along the river. Hope you guys enjoy it and.. Keep checking back!

The new title very much makes me think of Uncharted, but I like it regardless.
