Overall Search of Serenity Realm is game I'm developing. It started out as a cliché joke game. But as I developed more, it turned out actually my priority project. It was started in summer of 2009 and I have done it with changing interest. In it's most basic form it tells about a boy who's trying to find and kill the murdered of his parents. He's helped by his sister and two friends who join him during his quest. PROGRESS SO FAR: STORY: 100% MAPPING: 95% CHARACTERS: 100% DATABASE: 95% OVERALL: 95%
BETA RELEASE http://www.mediafire.com/?om386512b82n8 Patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?2kkfbf33scvys5g Full of Bugs and missing files, but features the full game. If you want quick access to new updates give me your email and I give dropbox link to data folder
Story
Spoiler:
Kios wakes up into dream where he confronts Madoushi. A evil mastermind who has lived for millenniums to gain access to Serenity Realm. Soon after waking up he lefts to deliver a package to his sister who lives in other town. Kios and Movrelle (his sister) decide to go back home, but as they arrive the house is destroyed and everyone is killed. Soon they found a diary of their father which explains something about the incident. They are told about Madoushi and he is needed to be stopped, in order to save the Serenity Realm. Only advice they get is to go to the nearby mountains. Several miles later they confront Infarga a fire spirit who is being captured by Madoushi. Kios and Movrelle save her and Infarga joins them. Pretty soon they arrive to a village where people seem little mad. One boy especially. He turned out be controlled by Madoushi and after fighting him, he also joins the party. Now that the party has been gathered they start a quest to find the realm. It takes them from ice cold towers to scorching desert. Never forgetting the evil spying them.
Characters

World
Spoiler:
The world is a rather fragmented place. World consists one big continent and a few smaller isles. Bigger cities work as leading place for the areas near it. Mostly lead by kings and queens. A big thing is Grand Volcanoes and the Ashed Lands behind them which are deserted and rough areas. No one is ought to live there. There's a lot of variety in the different parts of the world.

Great to see that you put it up here, PP! Wow! I never knew that this was so close to be done! Remember to give contact to Oblivon3O or me when your game is released. That way, we can move it to the "Completed Games" topic
I'll wait for the final product before I play. Good luck on it!

I would be very pleased if someone would play this trough and would give me some feedback. Because I'm living mostly to my own intuition and would like to have more opinions about this overall. I'm starting to play this trough again so I can see if it's possible to play it trough and find those little glitches but all help is appreciated.

Needs tinting and fogging in the maps. Especially the snow and the caves. Going to try the beta and see.
Subject: Re: Search of Serenity Realm Tue Oct 25, 2011 7:11 pm
I'll try it out now. Looks promising from this side.

I've played up till the inside caves of the mountain(forgot the name of the mountain). It's pretty good so far. Battles are fun but there are still some stuffs that could be a little improved on.
1. When I was running around in the fields and it became night, I couldn't see a thing, literally. Make it less darker please. People who wasn't that strong eyes might actually not see a thing. 2. Check the grammar. There are grammar errors a little here and there. If you're having problem with English as not your first language, I suggest finding a proof reader. 3. There are lots of errors with your BGM files. Alot of them are missed, even though I placed ALL BGMs you posted for download. 4. Add some tinting to your maps man, and fogs can do wonders too! It's not that hard Some animals would be nice too 5. When I became able to learn skills,(I don't know if that's is supposed to be that way) Kios had live OVER 9000!! AP :O Wow, I actually learned like 20 skills or so there! 6. Sometimes it feels that your just using to much different BGMs. Your scenes aren't that long, but still some had like 5 different BGMs which I somehow find a little annoying listening to one from another in just one small scene.
And that is all for now. I hope you take constructive critisms seriously, don't get me wrong though, It's just to help you out with the project.

Thanks for feedback. I can take harsh critic so don't worry. 1. This is an issue I don't have cause I can see it from my own screen. But I'll change so everyone should enjoy it 2. Yeah, I've improved quite a bit since I started the project and I notice all the time my grammar mistakes. 3. This is an issue I'm very acknowledged and I said it even in project description. I'm sorry about it, this happened mostly when I tried to remove all unnecessary files but couldn't remember which ones I had. 4. Doing at the moment. But I'm not very good with them so it's little slow. 5. This is a hard problem for me. I tried to give less AP but then it gave too much, so this needs fixing. So feel free to dig into the script and give me suggestions if you feel like. BTW do you enjoy the skill AP system overall? I thought it would be more fun than let the game decide which skill actor could learn. 6. Okay, I'll see what I can do. Never actually thought of this, but probably true. I've tried to change it in later parts of the game, but thanks for noting. I'll make a small patch today for some of these and other small bugs I've noticed. Please tell also what you think about the dialogue and story. No one has said pretty much anything about it to me.

It seems that the final bosses are actually beatable at normal levels. That's a relief, hadn't tested them before. Patch number three hopefully appears today, be sure to get it. Contains lots of bug fixes and important stuff.
