Facebook Page RMN Page Official Website The Magi Chronicles Original Soundtrack The Magi Chronicles follows the story of an 18 year old boy, Daryl, in his quest with an unlikely party of heroes to solve the mystery of a great evil that threatens the continent of Raethol, and the world itself. This evil revolves around a single a man who is referred to as a "Dark Lord." Though the party does not know his true name they will travel the world attempting to break his hold over it. Prologue: During the time of war many ways of the past were lost and the six Spirits of the Realm were forgotten. These Spirits were the creators of this world and protectors the its Aura. Now that the Spirits are no longer being worshiped by the majority of the population, they have grown weak, thus weakening the world's Aura and leaving it vulnerable. Major updates incoming [05\11\2016]: Spoiler We will be finishing the game in VX ACE, sorry for the confusion! The game will be FREE! Setting: Spoiler The Magi Era After the wars of the Sensou Era there was a great peace. Many ways of the past were forgotten. Magic was now the means of everything, solving the worlds greed and poverty. Though some prejudice may still exist, this peace has been long lasting. It is the year 1522. Raethol is divided into three nations; Brathea, Theocia, and Protia. These three nations were born from three very diverse races. Bratheans, stuborn in their ways, are known for their strength and hardiness and are typically frontline warriors. Though Daryl is of Brathean decent he does not fit this typical mold.His parents moved to Friasia, a small city located in Theocia, two years prior to his birth. Daryl's mother had passed away shortly after giving birth to him. Much like the Theocians he lives among Daryl took to magic at a very young age and developed skills faster than most of his peers. He is one of few Bratheans in the world to possess such abilities and has grown up with the grief of his father wishing he was more like him. Character: Spoiler Daryl - 18 year old mage that attends the school of magic in Friasia, a small town in the nation of Theocia. Born and raised among Theocians, this Brathean boy has taken more quickly to magic than his peers. A rare gift that many Bratheans lack. Corran - The Captain of the 9th regiment of the Brathean army has come to Friasia to recruit Daryl on a secret mission across Raethol. Knowing Daryl's father from long ago, Corran feels that he can trust Daryl with the task while not arousing too much suspicion. Little is known about the mission and what Corran's goal is. Naomi - A cast away from her nation of Protia (Cat-Like Nation of Monks) has traveled to Vincia (a rural town in Theocia) to study as a nun. Her boisterous and rude demeanor provides the party with some frustration while her abilities as a cleric are well needed.

Thanks! We are aware of that bug and have fixed it (not in the latest demo) but it is good to know any small detail! Glad you are enjoying the demo! A fully polished version will be available in the near future with a better balanced synthesis and some tweaks to improve over all experience. Stick around for updates!

I downloaded and played the dome yesterday, so i think the version i have is up to date.

The game looks nice so far, but there was a game-breaking bug.

When i entered the inn in the second city (vincida), a cutscene started playing, or more like part of it. My hero was standing fixed in the entrance and i watched a dialouge with at least two other people (including a head priest), but none of them were visible. Also the dialouge didn't made any sense, for me.

After the dialouge, when i left the building i was transported back - at least i got the map-display name on the upper left but the rest of the screen was black. Opening the menu was possible, but playing further was impossible.

Seems to me there are some conditions set wrong on these maps.

Thanks MagicMagor! That bug is fixed in the editor but not on the demo you have. If you decide to continue the game I recommend (for now) avoiding Vincia Inn until you finish that area. Its running an event you'll see after completeing some other things (which is why it doesn't make sense) first but the switch to allow you to enter the inn is incorrectly placed on this demo. Thanks for playing and thanks a lot for commenting!

Edit: In addition to fixing that, there are a few more issues that have been brought to our attention. So, there should be a more polished demo update in the near future. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for the players out there!

I don't know if you already fixed these, but i found another three issues.

I'm currently at the tower of venus floor1.

The save-option in the main menu is enabled, even when saving is disabled, due to being in a dungeon. I know i can also load through the save-menu but i still find it a bit odd. Maybe rename the save-option in the main menu.

The second nun in the catacombs after being rescued uses her faceset only for the first message box. In the second no faceset is shown.

And the third, which stopped me from playing is a script error.

I was in battle against a man-eater and a snake. The man-eater was currently casting sleep and i had just ordered corran to cast "block"

Script 'Yanfly Area of Effect' line 423 NoMethodError occured. undefined method input for nil:NilClass
Oh and arcane bolt still feels a bit too powerfull compared against the other spells, considering his extreme low cost.

But i have to congratulate you, the battles in the catacombs were easy, but required interesseting skill-use.

That script error's not something I've caught before, yet abuse Corran's tank-like abilities. Nice find. Would hate to have got it in their finished project.

The Frina forest Save Crystal introduction lets you know that's going to happen so you can load/delete saves from anywhere. Unless they just rename the menu item for it, "Save / Load."

I never though AB was all that powerful; strong enough for a Mage or cause too many rounds to pass in battle before fights were won, weak enough not to be overpowered or let too few rounds pass.

I've tried to replicate it but could not get it to happen for me. Looking at the script, I'm not sure what could cause that but I'll do a google search and see if I can find anything. Thanks again MagicMagor!

Edit: It's actually not a bad idea to rename the menu option to "Save/Load"... hmmm....

It looks really cool... Can't wait to play it... XD...

btw, I just really find the sideview actors + front view battlers quite a bit uncool... just a bit anyways...
JacobM

#88 Jun 25, 2013, 03:25 AM Source

Uncool is right! Lol. Unfortunately we're working with what's available at the moment. On one of the battle screenshots you'll notice some funny lizzard monster... that's my only contribution (drew it myself and a friend colored it) to the game as far as battlers. I would definitely like all side view battlers for the end product eventually it's just not a priority as we work on story, mechanics, eventing, balance and mapping. Glad you think the game looks cool and thanks for the awesome slip damage script ;)

#89 Jun 25, 2013, 03:55 AM Source

yeah, we really lack side-view battlers... anyway, the game is still cool overall... currently downloading the demo... :)

Rock on! Let us know what you think! Just a fair warning... there are a few bugs in the current demo so please be patient as we work on clearing those up and while we work towards releasing a more polished demo!

The reason why I have not downloaded this demo is because of the instructions, I'm sure im not the only one too. Just a pointer.
JacobM

#94 Jun 25, 2013, 10:31 PM Source

It's not a requirement, just a recommendation. The font files are for the font of the game. In the final version we may include a self-installer to do that for you but at the moment it's only for a visual aesthetic. You can play the game without the font but I may add that into the description for the instructions. Thanks for pointing that out! I do hope you'll play our game tho, don't let "instructions" deter you. :D

I haven't played the demo in quite a while, I'll try this newest one out. I'm lovin' how committed to the game you guys are. Keep it up, if this never gets released heads will roll.

The players are the inspiration! We also love our story... which is driving a lot of it as well. We want to tell it in a way that will be fun and exciting to keep a consistent level of attention. It's a lot of work but it's well worth it when you get good feedback and constructive criticism to help move the project along! Thanks as always Jarrad.

I am actually really excited about the story we have laid out! I feel like it could potentially be good enough for a book or fantasy novel. I can't wait for us to be able to show it to you guys/gals in all its glory! :)
