[oddler]

Edit: Chapters 1 and 2, the latest demo version, can be downloaded from my latest post here. Get moving.

For anyone that is not aware (and interested...), I'm currently in the process of creating a new Fantasy RPG called Hero Spirits. Any and all updates concerning this (completely solo) project will be posted in this thread. As for now, I'll just post some minor details and progress so far. Ready, update!

Installment will boast:

50+ hours of gameplay
Plenty of sidequests based on a "Fame" system
Huge area maps
Large cast of villains and helpful NPC's
900+ equippable items
Lengthy list of techniques/spells
Completely original world and storyline

Here is part of what I have created so far:

1 of 8 "Cities" (Lorna)
5 of 71 area maps (Orchard, Hill, Forest, Temple, Valley)
1 complete sidequest (Brew)

Total Progress: 4%

Also, a demo version should be available by August 2006. This will be about 10 hours long with a good look into the storyline and sidequests.

The full release is expected to be completed by July 2007. Argh.
Updates will be posted weekly-ish.

Edit: Demo is available for download here... http://www.freewebs.com/raseaudio/Hero_Spirits_Demo.zip

Edit again: The demo game up to the end of the second 'chapter' should be ready by September 15th. Far, far beyond the first time I set but better than nothing.
