History:

Spoiler: ShowHide

It is the year 212 AXW: the Great War that ravaged the galaxy of Xerxes has given way to contentious peace. One of the legendary heroes of the war, Arcturo Rave, now presides over Xerxes as the High King. His influence, though considerable, is barely containing a galaxy divided.

Much of the conflict stems from two age-old adversaries: the humanoid Errans of House Rave in Sector 4, and the lizard-like Draconians in Sector 1. To defuse the tension, Draconian Count Vorakia Estuuban wishes to merge two of the most influential houses from Sector 1 and Sector 4 through the marriage of Princess Ellemine Rave (daughter of the High King) and Prince Chad Zephyr (son of Lord Falric Zephyr). The High King approves of this union between the Errans of House Rave in Sector 4 and the Humans of House Zephyr in Sector 1. However, the Count may have an agenda of his own for this marriage, and may not have the best interest of the galaxy in mind. Could House Zephyr simply be a puppet of the Draconian Count in this union?

Story:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Klein Cryoz, the personal bodyguard of Princess Ellemine Rave, finds himself caught up in a twist of unfavorable events. Journey into the galaxy of Xerxes and enter Klein's life, as he finds himself caught up in a galactic feud. Along the way, the fragments of his long-forgotten dark past surface, piece by piece. Will he be able to do his duty, withstand the pressure of a brewing war, all the while having his past haunt him?

UPDATE!

Hello guys! You may now download the new version of the demo which includes the following changes:

- New battle system: Battle Symphony + CATB by Yami and Battle engine by Yanfly (Good bye, Tankentai SBS )
Reasons: While the tankentai sbs of the demo combined the Mog-hunter's atb looked really amazing (to me, at least), it has lots of incompatibility issues that is just too much of a risk in making the game buggy and crash-y. So I had to let it go, even if it hurts. But, thankfully, there were talented scripters that I found who have created wonderful battle systems that are able to duplicate the side-view active time battle system that I wanted for the game. They may be simple, but they're very clean and there was a bug fix patch released for the system that is done by DoubleX. So I'll stick with this for now, and hopefully, there won't be any more serious incompatibility issues.

- New simpler and cleaner menu as well as some smooth improvements from "Maker Systems".

- Enhanced game camera work from "Maker Systems" for a smoother and immersive experience when exploring the galaxy of Xerxes.

- A few dialogue changes that includes rephrasings and typo fixes.

- Battle system now shows enemy's atb gauge.

- The ATB is no longer real-time, which means that you may now take your time selecting your decisions in battle without the risk of the enemy wrecking havoc on you.

- Intro scroll sequences have been made a lot faster to avoid unnecessary delays.

And that's all of the changes for this version of the demo. (As far as I can remember.)

[Starmage]

Hi everyone! I just updated the texts of the game's title screen and logo! ^_^ credits to: cooltext.com

Here is the new titlescreen for the next update. xD

[Starmage]

Hello guys!! I've started learning spriting and will create some animated battler sprites for the characters of Rave Heart. ^_^

I'll have an updated demo soon where characters will no longer be using their walking sprite during battles.

Here's what I have so far:


If you wish to give some feedback or discuss the sprites, just leave a comment.

[Starmage]

Hi guys! I am pleased to announce quite a huge update for the demo of Rave Heart, which you may now download and enjoy.

Changes:

Version 2.0 Changes:

- Animated battlers for each playable characters are now implemented and ready for use in the demo. (During my journey in learning how to sprite, I have come to a conclusion: It's sooo stressful, but very fun to do.)



- Game is now played in High resolution (640x480), this should now remove the dark borders around the screen when playing on larger maps. (See? It is a huge update. xD)

- New and improved High res title screen.

- New game text logo implemented in the game.

- All battle-backgrounds and pictures have been adjusted to run in High res.

I hope you guys enjoy! Feel free to leave some feedback and suggestions.

[Starmage]

[Starmage]

Hi guys!! I just wish to share some of my progress for the development of Rave Heart right now.

First off, the town of Dorine from Planet Kardel:

(Don't mind the door-less buildings, it's still a WIP)
Klein and friends sets foot in this planet where crime is the norm, wish them luck in this dangerous escapade. xD

Manu options by Yanfly!

It is an additional feature that I should've used since the very start. xD But here it is!

Enemy health bars by Yanfly!

Another feature that I should've used since the very start. xD This will certainly help players calculate and invest the right damage on specific types of enemnies.

That's all guys! Hope you like it. ^_^

[Starmage]

Hello guys!! I just wish to share a very detailed and helpful first impressions done by Driftwood Gaming!! ^__^ I really enjoyed it and they were very helpful in pointing out the issues of the game that needs to be addressed. xDD Also, you'll be chuckling a lot in this video, as their beautiful voice-acting will leave you in awe. xDD Enjoy! ^_^

Hi guys!!! I have now started creating my very own website for my RPG Maker games with wix.com! ^__^

https://whitemagekyle.wixsite.com/starmagerpg

You may visit it now! ^_^ (I had reports that there were problems viewing the site using mobile x( )

Hope you enjoy!

[Starmage]

Hello guys!! Demo version 3.0 is now up!! ^_^

Here are the changes so far:

- New Intro Scene - A whole tutorial sequence that involves Bryan and Klein, fighting their way to capturing a Farian fugitive. Reasons: This is to add some action and hype at the very start of the game. Since the game is story-driven, I believe that starting out with some gameplay would be a nice touch.


- New skill and item icons

- New skill animations added

- Implemented an arrow pointer as guide for story progression

- Slight adjustments to the battle HUD (ATB bar is now at the lowest section)

- Typo fixes

- Dialogues now uses a different font

That would be all guys!! Thank you so much and I hope that you'll enjoy! ^_^

[Starmage]

Hello Everyone! ^_^ Here's a newb photoshop art I did for both Ellemine and Chad for my game Rave Heart. This is like, my first time trying out my hand at photoshop drawings as my way to cope with my recent streak of depressing happenings. X( Anyway, this scene is supposed to capture Ellemine and Chad's getting to know moment during the engagement party in the game. xD Hope you guys like it. ^_^

[Zexion]

Looks nice :b If you want to take your line art up a level, try the polygonal lasso tool for lines. If you prefer using a brush for now, try a harder brush. Something like this:

[Starmage]

Hi Zexion! Oh wow! I have never thought about that! ^_^ Thank you so much and I'll keep your advise in mind! ^_^

[Starmage]

Hello everyone!! Version 4.0 is here!! It has tons of new content (story-wise) and a few updates and improvements from the previous versions! I have all the reviewers and LPers to thank for the improvements of the game! ^_^

Changes:

Also, some screeny for you guys:

Poor Veronica, forced to marry the crazy Star-Raiders' leader. Veronica has no say in this cause she was intentionally muted. xD (And yes, that's a wedding in a dance club.)

[Starmage]

[Blizzard]

I was always wondering what you use for lighting. Is it a special script or just plain old eventing?

[Starmage]

Hello Blizzard! Haha, yup, it is actually just eventing! ^_^ I only used a lighting effect charset that moves. I think the effect is by Creative Ed!

I just wanna share what my little brother rewrote for Rave Heart history in Gen-z linggo! It's so funny! XD

"It's the year 212 AXW: the Great War that wrecked the galaxy of Xerxes has cooled off into a sketchy peace. One of the war's GOATs, Arcturo Rave, is now the High King of Xerxes. Even with his clout, he's barely keeping the divided galaxy in check.

The main beef is between two OG rivals: the humanoid Errans of House Rave in Sector 4 and the lizard-like Draconians in Sector 1. To chill things out, Draconian Count Vorakia Estuuban wants to link up two of the most SIGMA houses by marrying Princess Ellemine Rave (the High King's daughter) to Prince Chad Zephyr (son of Lord Falric Zephyr). The High King said "bet" and is all for this merger between the Errans of House Rave in Sector 4 and the Humans of House Zephyr in Sector 1. But Count Vorakia might have some sus motives, and this marriage might just be a power move for him to yeet his rivals out of power. Is House Zephyr just a pawn in the Draconian Count's game?"
