Maradice Isle's demo is out NOW!!

[bulldozerman185 41]

Thanks to the work of our wonderful volunteers, the demo of Maradice Isle has JUST GONE LIVE!!

If you wish to download the game and enjoy it up to the end of the prologue, you may do so here ( Don't worry; We checked and triple-checked it for viruses. It's clean ): https://mega.nz/#!CJRGWChD!U2MSQO-tD5JRSA6a3Qsza6_CSXAj8HTV-QyaaEcmhTM

Truly, if it wasn't for the amazing volunteers we found here on this site, this would have never come to be. And while the game does have a long road ahead until it's completed, we'll stand strong and see it through to the end, if for no other reason then so the game can not only serve as an excellent story of one young mares journey to save her island home from an evil she has no hopes of comprehending, but also as a nostalgic love letter to long-time fans of MLP: FiM, and one final hurrah to Generation 4 of MLP.

Sadly, I cannot guarantee you all of the features promised in my earlier forum posts about the game, mainly because they're simply impossible to implement into RPG Maker VX Ace. But rest assured, we will be thinking up unique and creatives ways to compensate for this lack of promised features!

We still need more volunteers to help us with the tilesets ( now that the project is moving onto Equestria ) and the character sprites, so if you think you've got what it takes, and are familiar with RPG Maker VX Ace and how it operates, please feel free to join our development Discord server to stay up to date on everything that's going on with the project! Or even if your not, feel free to join in with us anyway as a supporter. We could always use more friends to talk to and to pitch around ideas as development continues!

Once again, thanks a lot for making this happen, and I myself will see you back here real soon for the full release of the game!

***
NOTICE FROM BULLDOZER STUDIOS: While not exactly featured in the current demo release, this game is heavily story-driven, and will feature a unique storyline unlike anything you've ever seen in an MLP game before! Therefor, we firmly request/demand that all spoilers to the games plot be kept to a minimum, so as not to ruin the experience for those who have not played the game yet.

An update for the game (Demo V1.0.1) is being uploaded now, to fix a few issues found with V1.0. I'll make some sort of reply to this topic when it's gone live.

In the meantime, here's some screenshots from the current demo build!

I was going to edit my original post to include this new info, but for some odd reason I can't edit that post anymore. If anyone knows why please let me know.

V1.0.1 is now live, complete with several fixes from V1.0! Be sure to check it out:

@bulldozerman185 I'm going to need to try this game!  (Some time when I don't need to get to sleep fast so I can get up for work before 6am )

I've been working on a game of my own (on my own) for almost seven years, now---I've been adding features to it over time, so I know what it's like to pour a lot into a project like this!

Roughly how long is your game, at the moment?  And how long do you want it to be when it's done?

HI-HO, everypony!

It appears there is a glitch in the current demo build of the game that's causing the wrong battle theme to be loaded in after the cut-scene where Instrument Strums chews out the two colts ( after the Vile Spider Queen boss ) in his office, resulting in the game crashing when you attempt to enter a battle!

Fear not! A hotfix has been prepared to remedy this situation, and a new demo build will be uploaded shortly to the games page on GameJolt!

In addition to this bug fix, this update will also included:

- GUARDS! The Maradice Royal Guards are finally in the game! You'll see them stationed around the island doing their normal thing.
- A new event has been added to the Mt. Winter Western Pass! Make sure to check it out!

- Monster stats have been fixed to properly reflect their classes. Ember monsters will no longer take less damage from Ember spells.

 

Keep your eyeballs peeled on the games GameJolt page for when this update goes live!

Quick update: Demo V0.1.2 is now live, with the hotfix included!

EDIT: WHOOPS! Didn't upload the correct build of the game! I'll get it fixed lickity-split! ( no pun intended )
