Hello everyone, this is Dark Kyu with a few updates on the game.
Well, it's not looking good but it's not bad either. I'm still missing one more sprite to complete the game's third chapter before moving on to the next chapter. I still need the character sprite of Electro (from Spectacular Spider-man).
This is how he looks without that 'mask' of his.
But if it's too difficult to make, then you can make a character sprite of him in his hazard suit.
So for now, the game has been officially on hold until I get Electro's character sprite. I really need him for the game's story. If anyone can make his sprite, either his real looks or his hazard suit, will definitely help and progress the game's development even more.
To make it up for this, I've added a few more screenshots and news on the game.
New Features
-Quest System-Throughout the adventure, Judith (from Tales of Vesperia) will hand you some quests/jobs given by various people in Rakenzarn. A new option is opened from the book, so you can go there to take a look at the quests.
This is how the quest information looks like. You can see which one is new, accepted, and complete from the pic symbols. In addition, you can see what the quest is all about from its description and the rewards for completing it. However, you need to talk to your client in order to accept the given quest to complete it. Once you complete a quest, you will be given the reward.
While most quests are optional, there are some quests that are related to the story. You can find out that it's a story-related quest by the following screenshot.
When everything is labeled '????' in the description, then it means that's a very important quest to complete in order to advance the story. Not all quests are related to the story though.
Whenever you complete a chapter, don't forget to talk to Judith since she always gives you new ones in every new chapter.
Lastly, some quests are related to other quests. For example, there will be one quest where the party investigates a certain phenomena. When that's complete, another quest will be unlocked later on and it will be related to the previous quest, which will conclude the mystery of the phenomena or continue to the next quest.

KK20 for
the Organized Quest System. Truly one of the best scripts I've ever seen.
-Battle System-As you pretty much know if you played the game, Kyuu isn't much of a fighter.
Even though you have your friends from different series, you still need to mind Kyuu as there will be times where he'll be engaged in a one-on-one duel.
Fortunately, his class is one of the rarest and best in Rakenzarn, the
Arxus Rogues. The class has an uncanny ability to wield various weapons and use multiple skills. There is a catch though, some skills can only be used when a certain weapon type is equipped.
You can see that some of the skills in the screenshot are transparent. Right now, Kyuu is using a sword so he obviously can use sword-type skills.
Double Slash and
Midnight Stab are part of them (the former is a standard double slash attack while the latter is a Dark element attack.
Spread Shot is a gun-type skill that's very useful against multiple enemies, but as you can see, you can't use it unless you use a gun-type weapon.
Ravage Smash is an axe-type skill that has brute strength and brutally wound an enemy.
You can learn these skills or more by talking to some characters in Rakenzarn (mostly who are experienced fighters). You can also learn new skills by finding and reading items called Skill Scrolls, which are secretly hidden throughout Rakenzarn.
Noel here is one of the characters who knows about gun-type skills and she can teach you.
The weapon types so far are:
- Sword
- Twin Blades
- Knife
- Axe
- Spear/Lance
- Gun
- Bow
- Crossbow
- Staff
- Gauntlets
- Hammer/Mace
- Whip
You have the freedom to use any weapons you want from these types, but be aware that each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Starrodkirby86. Weapon Specific Skills is a pretty good script.
-Overdrive Concept-There's this concept I've been working on, it's called
Overdrive Mode. It's mostly for most bosses.
Whenever you deplete enough HP, the boss will get furious and will start to throw his best moves at you. This is where the fight will get more intense as the attacks may deplete most of your party's HP.
Cutscenes
Not to mention, here are a few scenes and screenshots from the game (mainly Chapter 3 and some planned scenes for Chapter 4)
Lastly, the game will also feature a Dating System. You can date various girls from different series (mainly singles). This will not affect your alignment but it also affect the ending. Planning to have a total of 15 girls you can date.
Here are the confirmed girls that you can date in the game, each has her own rewards for you in terms of skills (don't worry, I won't spoil the endings or their story arcs)
1. Megumi Minami
- Crossover:
Detective School Q/Tantei Gakuen Q- Bio: The girl from the 'real world' who's gifted with the photographic memory, which allows her not to forget and memorizes everything even after she has a brief look on
something. However, such gift does possess a curse.
- Gift: learn 'normal' attacks and increase all your status. It's essentially the 'jack-of-all-trades'
2. Dark Magician Girl
- Crossover:
Yu-Gi-Oh!- Bio: One of the famous cards/characters in the series though she's not related to the anime or the manga series (though I will make a few references to it). She's incredibly gifted with magic though she's a bit sensitive.
- Gift: learn black magic (mostly 'good' Dark spells) and increases your intelligence.
3. Reiko Hinomoto
- Crossover:
Rumble Roses- Bio: 19-year-old wrestler who is one of the main playable characters in her game. She's very energetic and enthusiastic both in and out of ring. Her ultimate goal is to follow her mother's footsteps and become the world's greatest wrestler.
- Gift: increase your strength and dexterity, also learn grapple moves that can deliver tons of damages.
4. Fabled Grimro
- Crossover:
Yu-Gi-Oh!- Bio: While I haven't learned much from her, she's essentially a young queen of her race. Personality still under development.
- Gift: increase your agility and learn fast skills
Well, that's all for now. Hope this keeps you excited.
Until I get the sprite, I'll see you soon.
