TRAILER VIDEO
INTRODUCTION
Tale of Vassya: A New Day is an older game I spent half a decade creating on RPG Maker VX Ace, and completed back in 2021. Since then, the story and characters have always been on my mind, as I have always envisioned them a bit differently. As I became more proficient in RPG Maker MV and Adobe Photoshop, I began thinking about remaking Tale of Vassya with a grander vision.
I ported my RMVX Ace file into RPG Maker MV and began the process! It took a few... hundred... hours more than I imagined, but the game began really shaping up, and now I have completed the REMAKE!
I mostly created this remake for myself and my love for these characters. It's very hard to envision a character's true image with 32x32 pixel sprites, so the chance to enhance their battler sprites in RMMV turned this experiment in to an entire game remake. The game is totally FREE, as I've used assets and music from other Ips. Even though I've probably spent close to $100 on it myself, I just want people to play and enjoy my story.

SCREENSHOTS & CONTENT
Here are some major upgrades and changes to the original game that really pop when I look at them this way:
Here are some upgraded features and systems that are included in the game:
- Charge Battle System:
This game utilizes the charge battle system to allow for more strategy and interactive battles.
- Weapon Switching system:
During battle, each character may use their turn to switch their current equipment, changing the type of damage they inflict like "slashing" or "piercing" type damage.
Enemies will be weak to certain damage types, allowing the player to take advantage of an enemy's weakness to certain damage types.
- Skill Balancing
I balanced a lot of the skills, gave new/different skills to characters that did not previously have them, and introduced ultimate skills for each weapon type.
*Note: Some of the images had to be re-sized smaller because they were too large to fit together with the VX Ace images.
- Various other upgrades and features!
- Re-Imagined backgrounds and visuals
- Increased Resolution and Mapping
- Re-Created all faces and sprites
- Enhanced battle visuals and battlers
- Boss battle balancing and visuals
- Soundtrack has been completely revisited, and most of the music has been changed out. Feels like a completely new game!

SYNOPSIS
Tale Of Vassya includes 2 separate campaigns, each with their own stories, characters, events and battles. Each of the two stories include around 15 hours of story and gameplay and at least another 5+ hours of optional content if you choose to continue on. There is a ton of content to find in each story line, and much of it works to expand on the story and the world. I was heavily inspired by the Game of Thrones series and the Final Fantasy series for this game, as you will quickly see.
STORY
The world of Vassya has been at peace for almost a century. All of the diverse city-states live and trade together to maintain a healthy world economy. One fateful night, King Orick Maxwell II, the King of Capitol City, was found murdered in cold blood. The culprit, a man named Dmitry Juleon, is still at large somewhere in Vassya. After the first royal murder in over 100 years, the world of Vassya is very much unsettled, and tensions are beginning to rise between the cities. It is up to our two main characters, Damian and Maxwell, to figure out how to restore Vassya to its peaceful time, and find their purpose along the way.
CHARACTERS:
Damian Marquis:
- Damian is a young man who has lived in Capitol City his entire life, and yearns to see the outside world. As an acting member of The City Guard, he helps watch the city streets and keep crime at bay. His mother tragically died of a mysterious illness when he was young. After his mother, he is one of the last remaining descendants of the Rhegar Lineage. He yearns to leave Capitol City and see all that Vassya has to offer.
Orick Maxwell III:
- Everyone he knows personally calls him "Maxwell". After the night of his Father's murder, Maxwell's life turned dark. Formerly the heir to the throne and captain of The City Guard, Maxwell abandoned his duties and fled Capitol City. Now a loner, Maxwell is searching Vassya for a purpose and answers as to why his family was tragically taken from him.
Pearce Yashra:
- Most known as the Genius of Capitol City. He is a member of the city guard and good friends with Damian and Maxwell. Pearce spent his youth moving around Vassya from city to city, and getting to know some of the world leaders personally. Pearce relies on logic to make his decisions, and specializes in precise weapon types.
Urian Triphe:
- Personal guardian knight of The Royal Capitol Family. Urian is very disciplined, and finds working with young, adventurous-types quite frustrating. Urian is incredibly loyal to the crown even after the King is replaced. He partially blames himself for the King's murder as he left the city on a mission during the night of The Tragedy.
Dmitry Juleon:
- He has been named the murderer of King Orick Maxwell II and many others. He has gone into hiding since the murder, and his motivations are unknown. All questions surrounding the murder of the King lead back to Dmitry.
Kiara Juleon:
- She is a kind, young girl who seems to want to follow Maxwell on his journey. She seems to know something about Dmitry Juleon, but it is uncertain what she knows...
The Red Hooded Man:
- A mysterious hooded man, who seems to know Damian, and appears to have supernatural abilities. His motivations are currently unknown.
