Description :
The World of Bernesia has been invaded by giant insects, led by a Giant Bee. Krom, a warrior who belong to the Knight Assembly, have to fight them and kill the Great Bee, and to discover how they appeared.
Features :
-Turn-based battle system. 4 upgradable spells (4 levels for each spell)
-Levelling system, up to 10 Levels. When you gain a new level, like in Diablo 2, you can choose which spell your will upgrade.
-2 Principal Quests, 3 Optional Quests. If you complete the quests, you can unlock some extras (4 funny mini-games, informations about the enemies)
-10 enemies.
-25 minutes of playtime (15 for the principal quest, 10 for the optional). +10 minutes if you want to try the Mini-Games.
-Automatic saving system (in the Map).
-An Arena where you can fight the same monsters, but more powerful (try to fight the last Boss when it has even more HP and Power ^^)
-New item system : all the items are hidden, you have to search for them by spending MPs and then remember where they appeared. You can do this during combat. These items are necessary to finish the game !
So...have fun. I hope you'll like this game. (even with the GFX for MMF libs, after all, the gameplay is more important than the GFX, isn't it? ). And good luck to everyone who take part in the competition, creating a RPG in 5 days was really fun. I hope there will be other compos like this one.
Considering the response on this comp was a hell of alot bigger than I figured, ya, I'll probably hold more comps with the public voting, just because it's way easier on me instead of trying to review/critique 12 entries while listening to everyone bitch about how long it's taking to get results, and then the backlash when some don't agree with the results.
I sorta cheated on the Overland engine, you'll notice the ground changes redraws every time you leave a town too. I was working on a cluttered timeline here with little RPG experience... i'm not terribly proud of it.
I think it looks a little nicer than the other submissions, but the gameplay and quests are nowhere near up to par with them.

You control Arthur Smith, a posh Knight who works for the King. Arthur uses a Crossbow as his main weapon of choice and can learn new magics on his travels.
The game meets the requirements, with 2 quests, around 15 minutes of gameplay and a seperate battle system.
Features:
*Original Theme Tune!
*Almost all original sounds, music and graphics
*Nice magic effects
*Voice acting for Arthur in battles
The quests are very straight forward to complete, and its a Mini-RPG so theres no saving or loading.
The controls are the arrow keys for moving around and the mouse for battles.
It's supposed to be pretty funny, so I hope you enjoy it!
Heres a screenshot: (I'm sorry that it's geocities)
Id enter one . . .was working on one with a friend , was a day late on hearing about the competition . .. Could have been finished by now but he went idle and never came back :/
Battle was pretty much done , overworld walking , ideas , etc .
. . . Ill just post as a regular download when its finished , possibly a few days . . .
Well, here's what's finished of my RPG so far. I doubt I'll have it totally done by midnight, so I'll release the finished version on the downloads page in one or two days.
-ATB FF style battle with allies(can't get allies in incomplete version yet although it works when tested).
-3 quests:
++get out of Burnt Cookie Woods alive
++defeat the 12-year-old pker noob who's raiding the village
++save the royal refridgerator from the meteorologist imps
-has 5 bosses(some are optional)
-no saving system yet
-controls: arrows to move, enter to check/choose to do something, shift for menu, hold ctrl to run
Right now I'm about halfway done making the Meteorologist Imp Cave. At most I'll have that done by midnight.
I like yours, Snerlin. It's a bit hard, but pretty impressive. How exactly are you supposed to heal aside from the lone muffin in the treasure chest? I got the bejezzus beat out of me.
