The Book of Legends - due February 18, 2012 - is my latest story, turned into an epic fantasy RPG with the valuable help of Enso.

Features:

* Beautiful graphics and musics reminiscent of Asguaard or Millennium - if you like the production values in those, you should definitely enjoy The Book of Legends!

* 30+ characters to discover and play, including several optional ones and they are all pretty unique in style, and personality.

* Great interaction between the characters and huge replayability - characters have a lot to say in this game, and with quest-affecting choices and multiple endings, there will be plenty for you to play!

* Autosave after every fight (Casual Mode) or every 10 fights (RPG Mode) - and the usual gameplay goodness you've been used to: party splitting, secrets aplenty, myriad of items, questbooking, party switching etc.

* A colyseum - yes! Wanna test your skills? The colyseum is for you and what's even better, it shows up early in the game!

* Epic length - it's always hard to give a fixed number because some players are much faster than others, but the game is definitely of epic scope - think 3 Stars of Destiny, Laxius Force, think more than 50 hours and probably far more than this given the sheer amount of genuine replayability this game will offer. And with a questbook tracking your main quest, you will never be lost and can stop and resume later!

* Worldmaps - each of the 6 continents in the game has its map for you to check, and you even get a full worldmap!

* Awesome storyline - this game will have plenty of twists, as per my signature (hopefully), and what's even better, it will be completely stand-alone. No sequel to wait. Just an epic adventure of epic proportions!

Stay tuned!

Sounds really great!

Two questions:

Indinera wrote:* Autosave after every fight (Casual Mode) or every 10 fights (RPG Mode)

But I can still save myself everywhere? Or are there save points like in 3Stars? (I'm a save junkie you know ....)

Can they all be discovered in one playthrough or do the characters you get depend on choices you make?

The hero has a spell allowing to save and there are bishops that act a bit like the bunnies in 3s.

They depend on the choices you make. +::O_o

You want to keep us busy playing until you're done with the next game, don't you? +::biggrin

Great, graphics and music with high-quality is awesome. I'm even more excited.

I love Indy's characters, so it's another great thing and hidden characters are so exciting, because it's so rewarding when you find one of them lol.

When mutiple endings can be bad? Bring it on. +::biggrin

Wonderful, wondeful. +::YAY

And I hope the character who has that spell has about 1000 MP (or more)?
You have no idea how often I'm saving! In the end of your games I'm always called a coward! +::biggrin

Is there a special reason why you did it that way?

by **D-Squall** » Sat Feb 11, 2012 2:15 pm

Maybe it's because Indy want to make like old RPGs, that saves only in savepoints instead of everywhere.

50 hours of gameplay, high production values, multiple endings, big replayability - seems to me that this was the perfect game to win.

Yay!!!! i cant wait! +::Dance

does anyone have "egress"? god, i really miss this skill +::surrender

Jordan (the hero with the spell) is ok with MPs (not the highest value but certainly not the lowest) also he regains MPs after fighting! So it shouldn't be too hard. Plus when you get a tougher series of battles (boss fights) you're also allowed to save at certain time points for free! +::wizard

does anyone have "egress"?

No eggress but once you've been accross a certain dungeon you immediately get the option to "Go through"! +::Thumbup

Can they all be discovered in one playthrough or do the characters you get depend on choices you make?

Well, you get to pick one of 4 different schools to help you, so basically you get some characters that are mutually exclusive! Hence the high replay value and the beta-testing nightmare!
