Story
A chain game, sent from person to person, each putting in their part of the epic story in their own style.

When two mercenaries accepted an escort job–thought to be a swift and easy– they found themselves involved into a global conspiracy that would shake the very core of the earth.

Characters

Siegmund:
A mercenary for hire who was asked to escort Rise to the capital city. He’s a bit naive but has a good heart.

Reinhardt:
Siegmunds brother. He works together with Siegmund. He’s the more serious of the 2 and more organized.

Rise:
A magician girl, she needs to get to the capital city. She goes and hires some help because she knows the trip isn’t going to be so easy…

Domitian:
A warrior who is spoke of in legends. People know little about who he actually is. Domitian arrives to the capital city because of a letter.

Valeria:
A strong and calm warrior, she travels with Domitian for the same reason. While benevolent, she also has little tolerance for stupidity.

Screen Shots

Features
*New twist on the battle system: Each character is divided into 3 categories. Striker, Balance or Passive. Striker types regain MP in battle by attacking only. They’ll gain 20 MP this way, and are usually more for saving up for a big attack.
Balance types regain 10 MP regardless of what command is used. Their skills tend to cost less but are not usually focused on having a big final attack to use.
Passive types regain 30 MP when you defend. They also start with the most MP in a battle and are Mage-types.

*Encounter Gauge which fills up as you fight encounters (which are seen on the map). Once filled, you can open up a special chest in the area.

*Party changing system

Story
You are caught and accused of the murder of Sir Edmund. A trial happens which determines whether you are set free or whether you end up in Jail. Being as you aren’t the one who did it, it becomes a search to find the true murderer, and the feud between the temple and the palace.

Screen Shots

Beach map. You uncover more of the map as you explore.

Character Creation! Choose from male or female, from various hair styles/colors and initial items. Then a name.

A skippable intro!

Items you find in treasures and stores are all randomized. They vary greatly from playthrough to playthrough.

Battle system! Move your character close to the enemy so they can attack or use a spell. You can even hire a character to help if you find one.

About
You can create your character in the start. Being a roguelike, a lot of the elements are randomized. Where you go, what items you find in chests, how many chests appear in a floor, what items are sold in shops, all of that is randomized. While the areas you go to are randomized, the maps are hand designed with custom tiles.

NOTE: when selecting an item in the intro, press UP and then Z at the item.

In battle, you can move up to the enemy. Depending on what armor and what weapon you have will determine how many steps you can take and how long your weapon range is. You can hire a mercenary to join you temporarily, though they may leave after you fight the boss of the area.

You can move around up to the amount of steps you have. Press Z to bring up the attack cursor. If the enemy is in range, you can select them to attack. X to cancel out.

Press X while its your turn to bring up the submenu. You can use an item or spell (unless you have already attacked/used an item or spell in that turn), Pass your turn, Leave the battle (if you’re as far south in the battlefield as you can go or have defeated all the enemies), or view the enemy names.

You can hire a helper into battle too. So you go first, then your ally if you have one, then the enemies go.

This is an experimental game which I wanted to try when I saw the roguelike challenge!

Me and a few friends decided to do a game from Wednesday to Monday. So I released a private version to them, and went to fix it up a bit. Took a little longer to fix it up and just add the ending that I didn’t get to finish then. So it’s a total of 10 days for this game.

You play as 3 girls who are guarding a Mayor to his destination out west, where he is overseeing a war going on. After that, you can take on quests to raise up the money you need to free someone. Mina, a city Guard; Tonia, a Rune Knight; and Dylena, a Medic form the team.

Mina Mazzin
Age: 25
Personality: She’s both energetic and laidback. She tends to be hungry and comes from a rather poor family. She joined as a guard when most of the people have left to fight in the wars out west. She’s the fastest one in battle and is a decent physical attacker.

Tonia Arrison
Age: 29
Personality: She is more impulsive and more serious than Mina. She trained as a Rune Knight, which is both a powerful and magically adept warrior with high defense and can play either roles well. However, she is a lot slower than someone like Mina.

Dylena Geraci
Age: 32
Personality: She is calm but thinks the most of the group. She already has a husband who was sent out to fight as a Soldier. She is a Medic and has various ways of healing and buffing.

Feel free to comment and give suggestions for future games, but this was mainly a short break before I get back to Adalyn. Feedback is still okay though!

Story:

The nation is recovering from a very recent civil war, only two years ago, fought between the ‘Democracy’ and ‘Monarchy’. The Democrats pushed for a ‘modernization’ of their nation, trying to throw out the outdated government system that had been used before then. The war went on for several years, but eventually the Democrats lost, and the Monarchs strengthened their hold on the country, under the pretense of ‘rebuilding’ their nation, restricting resources and increasing taxes. Corruption and poverty is everywhere.

As Adalyn, you are a girl who has been labelled an outlaw. Looking to escape, you head down south hoping to avoid being caught. With a gun and a knife, you’re able to defend yourself against whatever comes your way…

Thanks to rhyme, linkz0r and Jihaus for assistance
Made in a week for a contest! Wish me luck!

What’s next?

Now what’s next to come, is deciding what game to do next. Should I work on fixing up Adalyn first? Rubi first? Work on releasing Azulea next? I will try to set up a poll for this!

Blog updates

Also, please check out Meridian Dance! There are new updates on it from various members. I have Adalyn on there as well, plus there are interviews, updates on new games, and articles to read. I liked the interview for David Miles Carter, i’d recommend checking that out!

I wanted to have a post with all my games listed for easier access. I will also place this on the sidebar as well for easier download access in the future.

Feel free to download and talk to me about my projects! Let me know what you liked, what you disliked, and any feedback would be appreciated!

Also, the main website is in need of an upgrade. I think I can either give it the same layout and add more content, or use it as a portfolio. I will decide this soon!

Summary

Azure Ocean

This is my current project. It is a comedic tactical RPG, following losely the events of Island Sky. Sabrina, Angela and Karen have to uncover the mystery of why their friends disappeared, the sudden huge wave, and more. Will feature customization options for each character, tactical battles, sidequests and more.

No download link yet, as it’s in the works.

Walkthrough written by IMAAK

Ever Blue

This is for a one month game project in Gaming World. It’s a simple space shooter, though a bit flawed due to lack of time and the restrictions of the engine. You play as a girl who pilots a UFO, solving various problems from her clients. She has a helper. You collect crystals to upgrade your weapons, or use skills.

Download

Island Sky

This is my first released project. It’s a simple tactical RPG. You follow the vacational disasters of Sabrina, Angela, Lisa, James and William, who get their vacation ruined by waves, earthquakes, boring geologists, tribal people and more. You can buy items at any time, read in game e-mails, play the music player, search for tokens and more.

Download

Alright, Paradise Blue is complete. I will be offering some bug fix patches too, but generally I can declare it done and the Paradise Blue blog will be just about finished.

If you have not downloaded the game:

Get it here

If you have, and want the patch:

Get that here

For the patch, you just overwrite the files in the project directory. It’s the map files here.

If you want, you can go to Game Jolt and rate Paradise Blue. Be honest, I’d prefer an honest critique/rating of Paradise Blue rather than one to make me feel good. But if you did think the game was good, I’ll be happy too. :3
Skie’s Project DOAD has an update, you can check it out here!

I have a new project in the works. Not really new actually, I’m working on Island Sky again. I want to polish it up a bit more and release that so it ties in better with Azure Ocean, and so that I could make a new story and adventure for Azure Ocean instead of retelling Island Sky.

I don’t have very much done right now, 99% of the game is still Island Sky. This is a testmap with a tileset I was working on. I need new sprites, new faces, and more tiles still. I’ll also work on the gameplay balance because I felt it was lacking by the end.
