This is my biggest project so far! a COMPLETE RPG Game for the Nintendo DS!

No screenshots can be taken, cause the game uses LZ77 compression which none of the emulators support.

The battle system is poorly programmed due to the lack of time.
As a result, a magic system hasn't been implamented yet, but i plan to release it after the competition.
The game engine is very sleek and smooth, very customable: just change a few variables, and you are ready
to go with your own game.
This game is not a one man's project. Many developers and game artists had given their hands with this production
from the font tileset to the eyecandy graphics. I thank all the developers and artists who dedicated their time to
improve this game and become what it is today.

This is a real throwback to the good old days of Snes RPG gaming, make sure you try it

Dang, that looks amazing!

Looks very professional! I hope to see the author continue work on the game.

wow! .. good work!

I dled it, and played it some. An excellent start, BUT, there are lots of problems. Now, I'm not really going to knock the story (yet), but there are lots of random lockups during gameplay that just shouldn't happen. The music is so so, and I'd be willing to help with that (or the story, for that matter).

clearly made with RPG maker(a fairly easy program). I don't know how hard it is to convert it to nds format but and very easy program(RPG MAKER). Keep up the good work though i thought it was a nice homebrew app. since therew arn't very many good homebrew games.

ya that was made with RPG Maker XP.... looks good tho.

a RPG Maker XP -> .nds conversion program would pwn ~!~

Don´t know about that RPG maker thing, it look like they coded it themselves.
