[size=8]Echoes of Time[/size]

An RMXP game with a kind of cliché story



"Tenebris, pavorem faciam infirma...

Tenebris, lux fortis, lumen e sapiens...

Tenebris, vos animas succumbant...

Tenebris, lumen quod excaecat consumet infirma..."

                                                                             - Fragment of the Song of the Dark Mages

 

Background Story
 
You're settled in a magical and ethereal world, to be most exactly, you're in the country of Bellugia, where the wisest mages and the strongest warriors are raised for the good of the world. This colorful country is the stage of many miraculous events, being one of them the origin of magic, wihich happened lots of eons ago. Also, the most horrorful battles also took Bellugia as stage, causing many deaths, destructions and reforms. 3 millions of years ago, Ahrion, the god of darkness, corrupted by the evil naure of the element he wields, betrayed the gods. His thirst of power led him to take the throne of the Potestes by killing Redeum, the leader of the gods, thus causing a big disorder in the universe, being reshaped to it's distorted image and likeness. The men and the gods, in an unbreakable alliance, managed to defeat Ahrion's kingdom of shadows, which lead to the signing of The Underworld Treaty.
Ahrion was condemned to the Underworld for the rest of the eternity, and men finally lived in peace. The throne of the Potestes was taken by Lucena, daughter of Redeum.
Everything was peace in the world, until... (the rest of the pages are broken)

 
The Present
 
Today is the Light Fest, the most important celebration in Bellugia's cult, when all the people in the country go to the capital to worship their deitys and witness the king's offering to the holy statue, which grants a propspeous future to the kingdom.
Arshes and Alice have to go walking from the Shalok Village to Vahnra, because Arshes woke up late and there are no dragons left to the capital of Bellugia. After a really long and tough walk they arrived, and in a wink the Light fest begins, but what they don't know is that this year's one, will fatally end, taking them to a mission to save the world of the clutches of the dark. Does that mean that the will of an evil being is taking the world to succumb in the shadows once more?

 
18 years before...
 
"The War of Shadows has ended with the sacrifice of my good friend Rodrik to seal Ahrion in a crystal prison with an ancient spell, The Seal of Thanatos. I'm stuck here in Tasmir after my mission ended, maybe for the rest of my life. It's a pity that Rodrik left his wife, my sister, pregnant of twins, a boy and a girl, my nephews. 8 years after that event, I saw what they are capable of, maybe they will save the world. I can see it... "

Just right off the bat, at the title screen you can see the blizz abs HUD. Dunno if you wanted to hide that or not.

I tried to workaround that bug, nothing helped though. I'll try to fix it

$game_system.hud = true/false

Unless that just doesn't work o.o

I have tried that, doesn't work in that scene but in the others works just fine

Doesn't work as in the code does nothing or it errors out the game?

I use a common event to turn off hud during cutscenes, I tried using that and script calls.
Don't judge a game for it's dumb title screen ;) Don't worry, I'll have that fixed right now

EDIT: Got that fixed!! It was my fault by not using the right script call (Using Winkio's Party Hud)

Hello ! Looks good :)
Is it normal that in the Title screen, when I was searching the key settings, I pressed Z and then ... BOUM the HUD appears in title screen ? XD
blindly follow his heart can lead to the loss
