Wow! It seems to be a good project. The music is really nice, I like it.
And the pun 'dragon-napped' made me smiled.
'Hope your project will flourish. :)

Thanks @Amy_Lizzy! I'm definitely going for a lighter tone for this project. I'm glad you like the music too. You know, it was a lot of fun to make. I got to record with a real orchestra and everything!

Waaaoh it's amazing ! :o
I thought computer assisted music made miracles. (Well I guess it does sometimes) It is so ambitious! Congratualation for that spirit, that energy!

It's a cute idea for a game, good luck with the development! :)

Thanks @starlight dream!

Updated with new info and some new art and music

That title theme is great, very cool to see an RPG Maker Game developer have an orchestra perform their title theme. The story seems simple enough, although I do want to know more about this boy, and who left the dragon egg in the well. In addition, the screenshots you posted, while the art style is great, I feel like they don't really show much of the game - it looks like we will be just walking through different environments.

What are your features? Is this a grind heavy battle game? A monster raising game? A puzzler?

I like the simple presentation, but it's too simple. Anyway, great job on the compositions and the art style, but without anymore info, it's hard to gauge this project.

@GoodSelf Thanks! It was great fun to record with the orchestra. With the story my hope is to tell a simple tale with great quality. It'll have the elements of all good fairy stories: adventure and magic and characters that I hope will delight.

The screenshots as they are currently show the visual direction I've decided to take the story in. Bright and clean and colorful. It's still early but I'll be adding a wider variety of screenshots as development comes along.

This will be a classic rpg in terms of gameplay: A magical world to discover, fun characters to meet, and monsters to vanquish. It'll have turn based combat with a party of up to 4 characters. There is one small change to the battle system which is that there will be no standard attack command. Each character (or enemy) will have a set of possible action they can take each turn. Each of those actions will cost AP. If any actor is unable to take an action they must select the wait command, which will recover AP while leaving that actor vulnerable to great damage for one turn.

Apart from that, there will be towns and dungeons to explore as well as treasure to collect and some quests to undertake.

When you say the presentation is too simple, do you mean the game or the thread?

@cddeat03 I think it's perhaps a little bit of both? Maybe if you added a planned feature section to the Post? This way we know what you're working on and what you plan to include in the game. this would likely give your readers a pretty good idea of where you're taking it, and get them excited and want to follow your post, as well as leave comments.

Professional. The music and the characters are so incredible.

Sorry for the late reply, been working out the balancing of the battle system, but thanks!
