[RPG Maker MV] Thread of Destiny DEMO v0.2b[ElisarStudio]

[ElisarStudio]

Hi to everyone! We’d like to present you our game for adults in a fantasy genre created on the bases of RPGMaker MV core.


The whole plot currently contains 1500 pages. We have already come up with the story of the world and its development but there is still much work on graphics and translation.
In our game, there will be several cities, large forests, islands, mountains, steps, farmlands and villages. All of them will be filled with the content and spectacular stories that will make up an exciting adventure.
Imagine…What would happen to people if everything that they were used to disappeared at once.
The story of the game starts almost one thousand years after horrible events that once caused a complete destruction of people’s magic in the world called Neutras. Humanity has accustomed to life without magic… But the magic hasn’t gone once and for all.

The game takes place in an entirely new, but already thoroughly thought-world, where things aren’t as simple as they seem at first glance.
The Threads of Destiny are drawn from the past to the future and weave all around in an intricate pattern, picking up the characters and bringing them into the cruel world of the struggle for their lives and future. Adventure, battles, economic development of personal possessions, new friends and a lot of different juicy situations await for the main characters!

Although, the game was created on the core RPG Maker MV, all the graphics in it was drawn from the scratch and most importantly, in an isometric view.

Looks nice, downloading the demo now, will this be free to play once it's done or patreon only, if you don't mind me asking.

[ElisarStudio]

Thanks!
Later on, we are planning to post the updates for our followers on Patreon. As you see, the designing of the game takes lots of time and costs.
The idea of a free downloading is still in the air, because we don't know how many people will find the game interesting and entertaining.
If it is possible, we will upload free versions of the game but in some time.

So first thing I noticed is that you can use the mouse in the options screen and to go back and forth between new game, load game and options, but when I try to save the option changes using the enter button I get: "Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Elisar Studio\Threads of Destiny\www\save\config.rpgsave' For more information, push F8 (I was trying to turn down the music and set dash to always)
...

Cons

No way to escape from the intro? I was nice the first couple of times. Okay once you get to the city scene ESC will fast forward you though the text.

And after I get that error the next time to load the game the game fails, but then if I restart again I get the starting menu.

But F8 does nothing, moving on.. In game, moving requires the arrow keys, so no mouse movement yet?

ESC / right mouse click brings up a Save / Quit menu, but when I try to save neither left mouse click or enter allows you to save.

Getting the token prompts me to save the game but I can't save using any keyboard key or my mouse.

Keyboard: Razer Black Widow Ultimate / Mouse Razer Naga, both work fine for other RPGMaker games

Pros:

Convincing story, and great artwork, the game looks like it has an epic potential.

Thank you for spotting these errors! We apologize for having them and we will get rid of them in the following version.

Alas! This is the plugin’s error. This error appears because of the mouse that is in the main menu. Later on, we’re going to use a plugin of another author and we’ll change the main menu completely. Before that, the gamers can use a keyboard in the main menu.

We will add the option to skip the prologue soon. Also we’re planning to add more images into this part of the game.

The mouse movement was shut down, because it arose many visual troubles and the sprite characters could stuck into environment.

Could you please make a screenshot of the game where you can’t save the game. Or describe us exactly where this problem occurs. Thank you in advance!

I can get to the save screen, just can't do anything there, here you go.

Probably, your user account doesn't have the full rights of an administrator. If not, then try to move the folder with the game from Program Files to the hard disk C:/

Okay, that was annoying, I ran as admin and could save. And yes,moving the game to C worked as well, tyvm! That resolves my biggest Con for the game.

I'm glad to hear that everything is working now!

We are glad to inform you that today you will be able to get an access to 0.2 version!
In this update, we did the following things:
- The title screen is improved and animated;
- The prologue was expanded and completes, as well as we've added some new art;
- Now you can skip the prologue if you wish;
- The main menu was completed;
- You can adjust the control keys to your preferences;
- We've added a mouse control, but you can use it at your own risk, because sometimes there are glitches with it, which can lead to a freezing of the character. In the future, we will try to find a solution to this problem.
- There are two new locations with some animations;
- You can get to the Alley of Fame, through inventory with the help of a pendant from Sardo or jewelry from Elli.
- In this update you will meet four new characters. Each of them has its own unique character and history, which will be revealed during the game.
- Version 0.2 and the other ones will also be available for MacOS. We don't have a chance to test it. We hope that the game will work, but if there are any problems, please inform us.
- The quality of the first day's translation has been improved;
- Also at the end of the second version the ability of free movement in the locations was added. Some attentive players will be able to find a couple of surprises, access to which will be opened in the next version.

Best wishes, ElisarStudio.

Version 0.3 Released!

Greetings! We are pleased to announce the release of Version 0.3 of Threads of Destiny on Patreon!

Much of the work during this release cycle has been focused on the technical structure of the game, and the background systems that drive the game. The team has been working tirelessly on both sides of the game, and we are extremely excited to show you the fruits of our labor. Devian has been writing both code and story elements, and Agnessa has been making full use of her new tablet to bring you fabulous art! Juliana and Siawn have been talking themselves hoarse while reading the scripts of the first three days, refining and re-refining the script.

You can look forward to seeing this new version come to this site in one month, or you can feel free to look us up on Patreon if you don't want to wait!





FEATURES:
- The plot of the third day has been added and drawn in full. New adventures, scenes, and locations can be found.
- We made the city more alive and filled it with some surprises.
- The movements of chibi characters around the locations have been optimized to look better.
- The script of the first two days has been refined to a more natural English.
- Animations!

TECHNICAL:
- All the bugs from version 0.2 have been fixed.
- We have changed the font of the text to a more readable variant.
-An additional thank you to one of our subscribers who helped to simplify the system for adjusting the translated text to the game. Thanks to this man, we will save much time. Previously, we had to program and maintain two versions of the game, one in Russian and the other in English. Future development times are drastically reduced with this new consolidated system!
- We have decided to turn off mouse control until we find a better way to implement it. In comparison with what we had in the beginning, we managed to improve it, but, unfortunately, some players still get problems from this function, like getting stuck in some places, not to mention some other inconveniences.
- The save system has been also changed. Now you can save at any time: in the middle of a dialogue or an event. The Esc button will bring you to the save menu, which has also undergone some modifications and changes. At the beginning, it was impossible to save the game at the answer selection box, but we found a way to avoid this problem, so now you can play more comfortably 
- Devian identified and fixed a bug that led to accidental scrolling of the choices in the events. Now, when you are offered a choice in the dialogues, the game won’t be able to ignore your choice and make a different one. This bug couldn’t significantly affect the development of the plot in the prologue, but in the future the outcome of many quests will depend directly on your choices, and such a bug would make you return to your previous save.
- In some locations the ability to use the teleportation items to enter the Unknown Place is blocked.
- The pathfinding of followers has been significantly improved.

CONTROLS:
- To quickly scroll through the dialogues, you can use the PageDown key. The Enter key no longer significantly speeds up the output of the text. This will help avoid accidentally skipping dialogue lines. PageDown skips some dialogue screens, but in some places there may be times where this creates odd behavior of the chibis during events, so use much as you like.

*** Please note that if you are experiencing lag it helps to close any other programs you may have running, especially internet browsers.


Best wishes, and happy gaming!

this is a very good game. very good (and believable) art. good music. and while the story line is short (day 2 in the free demo) there is a real story. a few minor typos here and there but overall a very good game.

the art. i cant tell you how good the art is but if you cross "sweet games" and "loki's corruption" (if youve played those 2 games) then you have some clue on how good this art is. also the women are fairly accurate in how proportinal they are. tho to be honest i didnt -yet- finish the first day, but you only see the purple and pink haired girls as well as the kitsune. oh and the one f/f scene near the beginning. so fair warning if you want massive breasts... not here. shure there are a few with largeish ones, but not unrealistic or super massive.

unfortunatly i dont have money to throw at ppl's patreon. but i do think that this could be worth seeing the end product.

one small bug i did find tho was if you use the jewelry to go to the hidden room, then use it again while in said room... you get stuck in there and cant leave.
