Plot
NOTE: The following is taken from the cover art I made for the "Can UB a Game Maker" Compertition, this subject to change

On the continent of Sadrasia, a shadow is beginning to fall as Meta Heads become more violent, Ninja Clans prepare for war and the Sanctum unable to do a thing.

The only hope for Sadrasia is the young girl Aria and the "Grafix" arm to find the mysterious "Twilight Temple" and learn why she was chosen to wield the Grafix arm.

The Legend Begins
After leaving her home town of Celesta and accompanied by her childhood friend Sain, Aria set off to join the Sanctum hoping to leave her old life in Celesta behind. while amking their way to the Capital of Sandresia and the centre of Sanctum Opporations, Eden, the 2 was ambushed by a Meta Head, being stronger than they, the 2 fled to a near by ruins however the Meta Head chased them inside, as they fled the floor beneath them gave way, plunging the 2 deeper into the ruins.

As the two wake up, Sain notices that the technology used in the ruins are slightly more advance their their own. with no way abck up the hole they made, the 2 begin to explore, hoping to find a way out. The two eventully come up to a big open room with a weird bird statue in the centre, with no other doors left to proceed though, it looked to be a dead end. suddenly the statue comes to life and the 2 ready themselves to fight.

After defeating the giant bird, Aria hears a strange, what could only be described as, charge up, the wind stars being sucked out but not from the way they came in but behind the walls in the back of the room, as the wind becomes more depthening and dirt and dust begin to cloud their sight, Aria and Sain loose sight of each other.

Aria wake up in some unknown space, motionless and floating, a voice of unknown origin begins to talk to her, claiming that hope has not yet been lost, a strange orb appears before Aria, suddenly Aria feels a force pulling her right arm, the force becomes so strong it rips her arm off her body. almost soon after, a feeling that eclipses the pain takes over Aria as a new metal arm reforms where her old arm was, before a blining light engoughs the space, Aria hears 3 words "Grafix, Twilight, Temple".

Aria wakes up once again but in the bed of a strange house, as she stirs a little girl bolts out of the room calling out for her brother, when the girl returns with her brother thry introduce themselves as Re and Cain. They explain that Aria is in their house in Vale, a village to the far south of Sandresia, miles away from Celesta or even Eden ans that she was the only person the siblings found.

What was the voice that spoke to her? What is the with the "Grafix Arm" which now replaces her own right arm? What has happened to Sain? Where could this Twilight Temple be? What was she chosen to do? and What is happening to Sandresia?

With these questions in mind, Aria joins Cain in hopes that traveling with him and aiding in his job to be a Ninja may answer some of these queries.

Downloads
CUBGM Version - http://www.mhoultramega.com/downloads/view.php?id=1
This is the entry i submitted into the "Can UB a Game Maker" Compertition. Version CUBGM takes you though a small bit of the first chapter of the game and allows the user to take place in a test version of a boss battle. After you reach a certian point, you can free roam. You can't Use Tetra Abilities.
This version has been untouched since i submitted it and recived an Honorable Mention on it so any bugs and/or glitches you find was there when it was judged (No one at my uni won because the comp was for the entire western side of the state and other entries was school projects that was financed, a few of my friends got the same mention as me and they used the UDK, their game is called Hard Rock), there will be 2 patches avaiable, one that fixes some of the bugs and makes it more stable, in other words, fixes up all the bugs and chnages i made after submitting the game and one that will make it compatible with Pandora. you'll find the links for these 2 on the download page above.
Pandora Trophies avaliable: 11

Demo Version - <Pending>
Prelude + Chapter 1, unlike Version CUBGM, when you reach the end of the demo, the credits will play and that is it. The game is completed when you beat a certain boss. You can't use Tetra Abilities.
Pandora Trophies avaliable: 11

Full Version - <Pending>
Full game.......what else do you want me to say

to anyone who saw this post before up updated it either time, sorry for messing with you, i pressed Save and not Preview

anyway, i'm double posting to add some notes about the download that i don't think should be in the first post, simply because these will be fixed at some point and they'll just cutter the first post, anyway,

1. the RGSS102E.dll may be unstable, we tried to pack it after changing the DEADCAFE key with ASProtect SKE 2.59 but we got an error message, Div IX was able to pack it with the Neo Arcadian Cross Matrix but it's not ment to be used for packing .dll files, anyway, if anyone knows how to pack RGSS102E.dll in ASProtect SKE 2.59 without getting a message saying Error: 3# (can't remember if it's 32 or 39) then contact me so we can fix the dam thing for the demo

2. then you press the download link on my site, don't worry if it takes a while before it starts, at home on my computer while using wamp, on adverage it takes about 7 seconds to start, not sure on the web cause my home net connection is crap, anyway

that said, can i also ask people who download the game to post up their computer status in this topic alonf with how the game performed, it's for the userguide and my computer i work on is kinda like Crysis when it first came out, it kills other computers with it's epicness and power (never thought Starcraft 2 would play so well in full quality) and not really a good judge of the min specs
