Hi guys, first post here. I've been working on this game for quite some time, but then left it for a few years due to study commitments. Anyway, I've just come back to it, polished it off and released the completed thing online. I know this is an XP forum and this is a 2003 game, but I was halfway through developing the game when XP was announced. As such, I didn't really want to scrap all my work and start again. Hopefully you'll still be interested in checking it out. My next project will be in XP.
Anyway, on to the game. it is the result of my first attempt at using RPGMaker 2003, and was created for a senior high school year information technology major assignment.
It is a parody of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Set in modern times, it replaces Middle-Earth with my home town and the films' characters with myself and my mates.
This is my first real experience with creating something from scratch, and I wanted to see how well I could re-create and imitate the staples of the Japanese Role-Playing Game genre, whilst adding my own twists to the formula.
Gameplay consists of exploration and interaction with other characters, as well as traditional turn-based combat mixed with some real-time, Legend of Zelda-esque encounters. There is about one hour's worth of playtime.
