VXAce - The N.E.X.U.S. Project (8.2.0)

(formerly Delta Origins - Rise of N.E.X.U.S.) Project is in slow development. Parallel post on itch.io: https://nightblade50.itch.io/the-nexus-project "Any planet is 'Earth' to those that live on it." - Isaac Asimov Click to expand... Announcement: I'm currently looking for voice actors. Click here for details if you're interested and PM me or comment on that thread! The N.E.X.U.S. Project is a sci-fi RPG that takes place in the year 3000, approximately a thousand years in the future. The human race has become highly advanced, and large portions of the universe have become charted. Yet there is still much out there to discover. Commander Eridanus sends three talented individuals out on a search for other planets. But while they are gone, a terrible event strikes. (spoiler free) Spoiler At the start of all, the beginning of everything that is, was, and will be, things were created. Not all of these creations are on Earth. Ever since man had thought, man had wondered about what the universe had hidden within its vast, cold expanse. What might be there, past the sea of shining stars. Desires like these have burned in the bellies of humankind, leading to discovery after discovery Man has uncovered more than could ever be counted. Finally, after so many turned to dust, burning away in the flames, chasing after the secrets of the universe, man’s dream has finally come true. Man has unlocked the door of the stars. It is the year 3000. Earth has placed their hopes in three brave explorers; hoping they can find and charter the mysteries of the universe. They are to find new planets, to explore them, to learn them, to charter them. This operation is known as "The Project for New Exploration of Unknown Systems" - Project N.E.X.U.S. Their names are Nova, Pandora, and Andromeda. Spoiler Fast-paced, action-filled sideview battle system of real difficulty that keeps you on your toes No RTP! (besides sound effects) Beautiful maps of a fiery alien world A dramatic storyline Hidden treasure! Custom menu system Gorgeous character busts And last but certainly not least... Squashable alien eggs! Spoiler Spoiler Every individual listed here was important to the game, but there are a few people who have encouraged me and/or generously have provided custom-made resources for my game specifically. Special thanks goes to... @SmashArtist , the artist behind the outstanding character busts and enemy graphics @Sauteed_Onion , who created music for my game and has supported me throughout @Jchurch9 , who did a whole lot of work on the dialogue for my game @Guiguimu , a great person who has motivated and supported me throughout development @Puruiro , who drew a fabulous battleback - appears in the fourth screenshot and in most of the game's battles @Starmage , who made some resources and has just been a huge supporter @BrandedTales , who helped write some of the dialogue too - specifically, the excellent first scene where they're told of their mission. (I only edited it very slightly.) @A-Moonless-Night , who wrote a script patch for me combining Neon Black and Galv's menu plugins - resulting in a completely unique menu And everyone else (in no particular order) Avery Hyde Sixth Dekita McTricky Dopan Neon Black ShinGamix Kevvviiinnn PandaMaru Allusion Apoc Usui TheBrogrammer OCS Yanfly Moghunter Nicke KilloZapit Galv TheTrueCyprien TheoAllen Maker Systems - RPG Maker Source Kadokawa/Enterbrain CoolText GaryCXJk Tsukihime Matseb2611 Celianna Sherman3D Soichi Jet Ms Littlefish Rabosion NoiseForFun.com (for a couple of sound effects) wanderer-arts (game icon) Firb Darren Curtis Lokif Guiguimu Victor Sant NeoFantasy DianteC JEIA_CORP Vlue Andy Chen Michael Galefire Joel Steudler Spoiler Nova Nova became a soldier almost as soon as he became an adult, but when he was discharged from the military, he became a mercenary. He left that life behind too, and now he's been recruited by the Commander as the "muscle" for the mission. Pandora Pandora is an outstanding pilot, one of the greatest on earth. She's flown numerous missions in the past, so she seemed the perfect candidate for the mission. Andromeda Andromeda is an expert mechanic and an overall tech whiz. She's coming on the mission in case any technical problems arise.

And a new version is out! Updates:

Changed enemy and actor sprites. Thanks to @Starmage for making the new actor sprites and one of the new enemies.

NOTE: The animated battlers script has two issues, none of which crash the game, it is where the pop ups are off center for the actors and the enemy collapse effect is broken. I am working on fixing those.

I'm so glad you have finally made an update, Thomas! ^_^ It is an honor to work with the actor sprites for this game!! XDD :) Wow, they look good in the game along with the enemy battlers that you made!! :o

I seriously hope that you can fix those problems, Thomas!

I fixed them by changing the animated battler script! :kaojoy: The version with that fix is uploaded, just have to add it to the dev log and make the announcement!

New update is out!
1. Changed the animated battlers script to fix a couple of issues. (New script is by Galv.)
2. Also changed the battles so that only the battleback is tinted.
The issues that have been annoying me are now fixed :)

Whee! It's a new update! Changes:
1. Improved on some dialogue.
2. Fixed a passability issue.
3. Added an options menu.
4. For those people who like cheating in video games - I added a cheat system. Activate it from the new options menu. It causes "cheat bots" to appear, allowing various cheating options.
5. Added a rating splash screen.
6. Changed the silence speech balloon. Thanks to @Rabosion. Only the silence one has been changed (which will look weird with the RTP balloons) but as soon as Rabosion finishes the rest of them, they will be released.
Anyway, that's it for now!

Didn't expect the update to include my custom silence bubble yet haha. So thanks for putting it in so soon, I'm glad you like them!

Keep up the good work, Thomas. The game is becoming greater with each update:rhappy:

I'm also happy to announce that the other balloons are arriving to the game pretty soon. :rhappy:
