innocent_royal | Millennium Soul RPG Project

Millennium Soul is a independent non-profit RPG produced by me (StorytellerKit/KitMishima/CrazyChronicler) and developed on RPG Maker VX Ace (Google recommended for best info). With collaboration from resource makers generous enough to share with the world their creations.

All characters featured in Millennium Soul are created and owned by me (StorytellerKit/KitMishima/CrazyChronicler).

You may find this to be rather impressive, or not, since I have done this without any artists (with the exception of the Anastasia and Nina artworks below) or music composers.

The game features a young girl, not so much pleased with her life as a royal and wanting to be free to do as she wants. Over her journey, she learns what it means to be both compassionate and a leader.

She was originally designed within her own world with her own friends and unique abilities and weaknesses. Details have been under development for roughly 10 years now, so it's been quite a joy to bring them to life in some form.

Please note that the game is still under development, therefore, not even a demo is ready. But this topic is updated fairly often with new videos cataloging certain processes.

UPDATE NOTE: A demo is available, but distribution is on hold until the completion of an extended demo.

Change Notes:

-Some sprites are receiving minor edits.

Known Bugs (but you don't have to worry about these): Besides eventing and graphical errors, there is nothing to mention.

CATASTROPHIC BUGS (These are the most critical problems I'm facing and will be the primary cause for release delays):
- Later in the game, entering a random battle encounter while Dashing may cause a crash. Trying to shift characters while Stunned or Frozen will give up player control entirely until the AI party wipes.
- The new Particle engine is crashing the game despite past successes. This isn't expected for most instances.

Approx. Playtime so-far: 31 hours

==STORY==
In Ancient times, the world of Nevus has been carefully monitored by the Great World Spirit, Pankosmia, and her 11 enforcers of material matter. Every so often, three High Priests from the three great nations of Nevus ventured to personally meet with Pankosmia and return to their respective countries with declarations for the future.

One of the High Priests became seduced by the blessings of Pankosmia and sought more power. This High Priest tricked the World Spirit of Ice into a pact with him, and used its power to blanket the world in a terrible blizzard in a effort to kill Pankosmia. The three nations united against him, and after a 3 year war, the fallen priest was defeated and sealed away. However, the damage has already been done. Pankosmia retreated into her domain connected by the Great World Tree and the three great nations eventually collapsed, plunging the world into a dark age that lasted thousands of years.

Several thousand years later, the world has rebuilt and divided between 6 Master Nations. As tensions rise, a dark force bent on reviving the "revolutionary war hero" is on the move. Their biggest threat is nothing more than a young girl, a Princess, the first of her race's evolutionary transition back into magic wielders thanks to the magic infused in the eternal snow of her country.

As her country is invaded and conquered, the princess and her guard have to survive long enough to build a new army and counter the dark forces before their Fallen Priest fully re-awakens and brings about a war more devastating than the last.

==PLAYABLE CHARACTERS==
Anastasia Leonheart: The Princess of Eternal Winter. She is the second known human undergoing a evolutionary transition to acquire the lost magical gene once held by her ancient ancestors, allowing the use of powerful "Destruction"-class magic. Distrusted by the Elven civilization and despised by the male dominant governments, she has to prove she has the means and willpower to lead an army and rally both allies and enemies alike to her side following the fall of her country. With only her heart to go on and advice from her young guard, is she really up to this task?
=Equipment: Rapier, Small Shield, Grimoire, Cloth Armor, Magic Armor.
=Advantages: Using a rapier allows her better survivability. Has her own set of Strike Artes (non-magical). Elemental magic spells cause Soaked (double Thunder damage), Burn (HP loss per turn), Shock (weakness to water) and Freeze (physical vulnerability). Highest Magic Attack.
=Disadvantages: Extremely poor DEF and HP when going Mage. Elemental spell effects can cancel out other effects (such as Fire spells removing Soaked). Using either Rapier or Grimoire will greatly downgrade the other (such as using a Rapier will greatly decrease magic attack).

Noah Diago: A rookie knight of 17 years of age, and one of Anastasia's retainers, he is a gifted kind of man. Very few possess the unique ability to call on Pankosmia's Might and unleash shockwaves of energy. The power simply called "Strike Artes." Flirtatious on good days and critical in bad days, he struggles to keep his relationship with his mistress, Anastasia, professional and keep her on the right path. As if protecting a princess wasn't hard enough, he has to protect his young sister as well. What kind of brother would he be if he left her in a warzone?
=Equipment: Swords, Large Shields, Heavy Armor
=Advantages: Highest HP. Highest DEF. Possesses an assortment of combination skills, involving the use of 2 or more Strike Artes in a single attack.
=Disadvantages: Small mana pool, preventing continuous use of combos. Poor Magic Defense.

Isaac Conway: A 32 yr old Musketeer who survived the destruction of his nation's capital out of the pure chance that he was captured weeks earlier. When he met Anastasia, he was quick to rally to her side, claiming to because it is his job as a soldier to protect those in power. He's a family man who lost his wife and daughter in the recently resolved Bandit Wars.
=Equipment: Musket Rifle, Bayonets, Light Armor
=Advantages: Powerful gun abilities. Highest AGI, so he can attack multiple times before others have a chance.
=Disadvantages: Very small skill tree. Skills have a long cast time.

Nina Diago: A gifted little girl who can call on Pankosmia's Love to heal and support allies. Despite technically being a cleric of Pankosmia, she can have a mouth that would make sailors blush. Though she is carefree and very outgoing, causing problems for her brother and other party members, she only does so because she is hiding her limitless love for her big brother.
=Equipment: Staves, Axes, Cloth Armor, Magic Armor
=Advantages: Huge assortment of support abilities. Buffs are fast cast. High AGI, MATK and MP. TOY HAMMERS!
=Disadvantages: Poor stats. Heals are weak early on.

Luna LeBane: A enigmatic girl claiming to be a researcher from the Holy Land. She is highly intellegent and also rather perverted. Luna enjoys taunting the other females of the group into pursuing their romances (only refering to sex to throw others off from questioning her). Sporting a Spear equipped with the terrible machine of Magitech, she can perform almost as well as Anastasia, Noah and Nina at once.
=Equipment: Halberds, Spears, Large Shields, Light Armor
=Advantages: A jill-of-all-trades.
=Disadvantages: But a master of none.

Sean Kai: A native of the Warrior's Federation. Sean posseses a Sword Whip and trained in his country's fearsome "Scorpion-style" of swordfighting. He is foul-mouthed and rude, having only contempt for female members and rivalry towards the males, but no one can deny his skills to enduce Sleep and Poison and easily hit multiple enemies.
=Equipment: Sword Whips, Heavy Armor
=Advantages: High assortment of other status abilities that Anastasia can't cause, such as Sleep and Poison.
=Disadvantages: Most of his statuses can easily be broken.

Pankosmia: A Pastorian nomadic performer whose tribe was slaughtered by the Eruleans. Pankosmia, who goes by Pan, is not an exceptional fighter but chooses to use her Dance skills to boost the party.
=Equipment: Bows, Greaves, Light Armor
=Advantages: Dance skills effect entire party.
=Disadvantages: Poor fighting ability.

Madeline: Chief maid of Castle Archangel and one of Anastasia's retainers. Madeline is a calm and collected woman who prefers to make sure younger girls stay on the right paths rather than find love for herself. Her wisdom is second to known when it comes to cooling heads. Madeline specializes in shield spells to protect the party and mend wounds.
