    Hello everyone. So this is the first game DEMO I have made with rpg maker -- The Drones.

    Update:
    -Renewed the character sprites, since I think tall sprites look so much better.
    -Minor change to dialogues.
    -Will replace the tilesets later on as the project continues.

    Synopsis    :
    The game is a FF tactics, Fire Emblem, SRW like tactics game.
    And of course I did not make the battle system myself, it came from veteran member embxii.

    The game requires "Tactics". LIke in Fire Emblem, your characters cannot simply rush into your enemies and gain your victory.
    Most of the enemies are no weaker than the protagonists in the battles.
    That makes tactics and formation utterly important in this game.

    I am presenting the DEMO of my game, which has around One hour gameplay.
    The game has a scifi, politics, and school themed story.
    But since it is just a demo, I cannot express them all in an hour.

    This game surrounds the growth of protagonists and how they are involved in the society.
    The story starts with the war between them and the unknown enemies.

    Story:
    Story spoiler alert!! Don't recommend reading it!!
    I am putting the plot here just in case anyone wants to read it without playing it.

    The game takes place in Providence Academy, where "Seekers" are trained to explore the entire universe with warping technology. The protagonists are the students of this academy, hoping to be one of the Seekers.
    There were just 3 days until their final test, after passing the test, they can fulfill their dream of travelling through the galaxy.
    Everyone thought it was just another day in the academy, but they unexpectedly discover something bizarre with their friend-Lyanna.
    The secret of a bigger plan is starting to unveil.


    I hope whoever tried out the game will enjoy it and give me some feedback.
    I do this project mainly for fun and fulfilling my dream of completing a computer game.
    More importantly, to tell a story of my own.

    Just a quick update, mainly for updated sprites and reduced file size.
    -Sprites from VX style to old style tall sprites.
    -Correction of dialogues.

    Using any image editor. The description of how to format your character spritesheet is in MV's help file: Help -> Contents -> Documentation -> Asset Standards.

    That is basic
    I mean if there is any generator or something like that style.
    Anyways it really looks handmade

    Well, the OP described it as older than VX-style sprites, so you can look for character generators for RPG Maker 2000, XP, etc.

    The problem is that most of those are so old that their Web sites are no longer online, and also the resolution was so low that the sprites are small/pixelated.

    There are a few expanded generators made for MV that can work with tall character templates, but no one has drawn a collection of generator parts/clothing to go with them.

    The only kind of complete tall character generator I know of is VisuStella's Character Generator, and...well, I think the map sprites look good, but the battle motions look lousy. You can form your own opinion.
