This is something that I've been working on here and there for about a week or so, it started out as something to just get ideas flowing for a different game entirely (wasn't planning on this one) and ended up becoming it's own project.

(Update)--As of 2/8/2012:
The plan is to release it onto the internet once completed, It does have an ABS style battle system courtesy of XAS Hero Edition 3.91 and will feature many of it's enemies, skills and weapons. As you can see I've updated the original post as opposed to posting a whole new thread or post with this stuff in it.

Gameplay Teaser Trailer-- ***UPDATE***

Youtube Video ->Original Video

An overview of the HUD:


1. Gemstones (currency in Kankara)
2. Gold Rings (collectible that can be sold for alot of Gemstones)
3. Gold Keys (collectible that can unlock any house, but these are rare)
4. Player Health (self explanatory, the icons are Gems)
5. Item HUD (shows what is equipped)

There may eventually also be a Magik Meter, but I haven't gotten to putting it in yet.

Thank you for your interest and stay tuned for updates!

I wish you the best of luck, good sir! C:

I'm going to save my criticism for when I see some more progress updates/demo/release, but I like your enthusiasm. xD

Thank you, a demo will likely be released after the first dungeon is completed (I'm just starting to put that together now).

I'm interested already. I love ABS. Turn-based battles can get annoying sometimes.

Anyway, I wish you good luck also and remember to detail the maps and take your time.

Thank you. I don't like turn based battles either, they seem to un-involved for me (one of the reasons I started using ABS style).

UPDATE: The project is still on, I haven't stopped working on it, I've mainly just been testing, finding music, etc. so it's taking longer than expected but I'm still here lol.

The whole project has been moved to include the XAS Hero Edition 3.91 and I'm redoing the maps so that they'll look better in the game. Some of the music and atmostphere has also changed but since no-one has seen or heard it, you'll have to take my word on that lol. A demo will be released once the first dungeon is completed as stated originally (had to start over when I switched to XAS and have been reconfiguring alot of enemies, etc.)

I'm working on this fairly diligantly to prepare for the demo release, but please also keep in mind that it may take at least another month or two depending on events that may unfold here.

As always, thank you for your interest and stay tuned for updates.

That actually looks really fun. Total Link To The Past intro too, love it. I don't know if you plan to, but your maps need to be gone over one more time and have a bit of detail added to them, their design is excellent, but they just seem a bit bare and empty. Big is good empty is not. I remember seeing this a long time ago, seems like you have made excellent progress. Keep it up.

-Cheers!

Thank you, I also think the maps still are a little lacking lol, I will likely go over them again a few more times before the demo is finally released, adding more ground tiles and generally making it less uniform and more natural.
