Greetings, friends...

Story

Spoiler: ShowHide

Enthrea, a suffering planet, disasters are continuing to occur because the pillars of the planet are already fragile.This fragility is caused by the greediness of its residents who are always exploiting the natural resources in Enthrea without doing any preservation.

The people who has been chosen to save the world by the elders of the planet has established a large organization called ZEFON (ZEbadian FOrtifier Nature). ZEFON has a noble purpose to provide energy to keep the planet's pillars from the destruction with an instrument called the ZEFON reactor. This reactor was being watched by several chosen people who called ZEFON ELITIA. They were located in every continent in Enthrea. But after several years of calm, these disasters begin to occur more frequently than before and the planet was become more vulnerable.

Millia, an agent of the organization named SOFRA (Soldiers Organization For Recovery Attemption) was given the task to gather the survivors to start REPRO (Recovery Project). Millia is always tries to find the potential people who want to follow the REPRO, unfortunately a lot of great people in Enthrea refused to follow her.

Finally, in her desperation, Millia was no longer looking for great people to follow the REPRO, she's just trying to find those who voluntarily want to follow it and find some people that want to do it although they have many weaknesses. These people have unique characteristics that made Millia trust them very much. But then they have absolutely no idea for what they should do except several instructions from the Great leader of SOFRA that Millia even hasn't known by herself. These instructions were always sent in weird manners.

Looks very well done.

Use Blizz-abs and it'll be an awesome game.

[impulszero]

Just one small notice: As from the moment the game (tutorial) let you play, the Razh start goning left (without intention to stop). All commands are available, but it continues to go left and refuses to go right.

[jasprelao]

@impulszero:
Thanks for the feed back
We'll check it immediately.

Ian Livingstone, the creator of Tomb Raider and Hitman, came to Indonesia, to give some speech about Game Developing Business! Eternal Grace team has a chance to meet him in Yogyakarta and showed him the demo in this event!

Here's some pictures in the Event. Want to view more? Visit the Events page about Ian Livingstone's roadshow in http://www.eternal-grace.com/p/events.html.

The game is available to the public... of course it was infected with socialist left controls. Ugh, I'm a bad person.

[This Side Backwards]

I didn't have problems with the tutorial... A quick few things to fix though, there are many times where small message codes (such as to change the colour of the text) aren't quite fully spelled out and end up showing in the text. Also, I find the game can be a teeny bit laggy, but nothing game braking at all. The hexacards minigame is well implemented (almost slightly reminiscent of pokemon) and plays well. I haven't had the chance to play to far into the demo yet though, I'll give more of opinion then. Up till now though, it seems to be a pretty solid game! Great job!

I thougth that the creator of Tom Raider was Toby Gard...

[cyclope]

Norton doesnt let me open the demo 

[Valdred]

Dude it's no point in showing the player who made, published and sponsored the game twice.

[Calintz]

I love the artwork.

[Subsonic_Noise]

You know what? I hate you.
I came here to see an average RPG Maker Game I could bash, but instead I see a nice looking, partially professional-level RPG, and no grammar errors so far. Normally I would be happy about this, but I CAMR HERE TO BASH. GAD DAMMIT

[Kett Shee]

SCIENCE DAMMIT

I like this. Looks interesting, the art is pretty damn good, and it has a real professional level feel to it. Good luck with this.

Thank you very much, we'll try our best to reduce the lag and to fix the tutorials.

Thank you, We'll fix it up and make it only once in the beginning of the game (before title screen).

I thougth that the creator of Tom Raider was Toby Gard...

Yeah, you're right, Toby was the creator.
Mr. Livingstone this is one of the important person in Eidos, the publisher of Tomb Rider.
Thanks for your correction.

Ooh, looks like lazcht changed the design of the chars. I hate giving other people props, yet I'm impressed at the look of it. Kudos and don't let this project turn into vaporware.

[Blizzard]

Either you are a very perverted person for putting it there, or I am a very perverted person for seeing it there. The latter is much more likely, but I still had to point it out. Some kids might be playing your game.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Other than that, what RoseSkye said. This looks like a very promising project, don't let it turn into vaporware.

Greetings, people! We brought some news to you. As we've announced before, our launching date would be november 2010, and in this last day of november, we want to apologize because we could not let the game out today because of some planning errors and unexpected problems.

The good news is that we have almost completed creating all the game assets, and we will give you some ingame screenshots:



Visit http://www.eternal-grace.com/2010/11/eternal-grace-latest-news.html to scoop more screenies, we'll wait for you there.

[WhiteRose]

I just downloaded and tried the demo. The music, graphics, and combat systems are all amazing - quite possibly the best I've seen in an RMXP game. However, the grammar and dialog aren't nearly as good. I had quite a bit of trouble understanding what was said. If you'd like, I could help you re-write the dialog. PM me if you're interested. Depending on the length of the game, it probably shouldn't take me more than a couple days; proofreading is pretty easy for me.

[jasprelao]

@White Rose:
We're very honored if you want to do that, but I try to discuss it first with my team.
And thank you very much...

Look at this, now Eternal Grace Episode 1 has it's game play video footage!

Alright, just PM me or reply here once you've discussed it with your team, and I'll lend you a hand.

Meh, some of the music sounds too midi in that video.

Doesn't fit too well with the graphic style you guys chose.

[jasprelao]

Meh, some of the music sounds too midi in that video.

Doesn't fit too well with the graphic style you guys chose.

The audio in that video is decreased when I render it become smaller size. I didn't do editing on the audio, so its quality is decreased.

But when you play the game, you'll hear the real quality of our game music, and I guarantee it's better than the music that you listen in the video and I'm expecting that you'll enjoy all aspects of the game.

@White Rose:
Thank you so much, we'll discuss it with the team soon...

Thanks...

[Spaceman McConaughey]

Played it recently. Pretty fun game.

[jasprelao]

Hello! We are happy to tell you that we are now in final testing phase, and we are working hard on :

bug fixing : maps, events, battle, scripts, menu
balancing : in-game database
minor polishing : graphics and audio
final checking : to make sure everything is smooth and stable

It is quite hard and time consuming, since we are working remotely, and we had lots of different features and systems to integrate into the game, but we are trying our best.

We apologize for our current news. We're fixing for your playing convenience, please wait patiently.If everything goes well. it should be done in about 6 days.

Thanks...

Enthrean Guardian

I would suggest waiting to release your game until after your text has been polished up a little; having proper grammar is going to get you a much better reception.

This is the truth.

When I played the game, I loved the professional feel and look of it, but just could not help but laugh hysterically at the grammar.

[jasprelao]

I'm glad to hear you're making progress, but I stand by my previous statement that the game would be much better if you should let someone help you fix the dialog and grammar issues.

Thank you very much for your attention, WhiteRose.
We have found 3 US native speakers to help us, they are Wavelength, Obright and Big Rick from RPG Maker Pavillions. I hope their filter can reach our heart
