[RM2k3] Grimorum

[Red-Cube]

Foreword:
Long ago in 2009, the golden age of RM game making (at least in Germany), the community was heavily flooded with fantasy rpgs which had their classics but mostley played the same. My intention was to create something different and especially to provoke by making my game a little less political correct. I gathered a lot of ideas from crime shows (which we have far to many in Germany) and some weird anime thus I played the "Dooms" series from MR BIG T which gave a huge part of inspiration.
Ultimately I ended up with a game called "Lemtingas Metas" which was ok for it's time but didn't age very well. After someone made a request for a LP I decided to change and tweak a few things and ended up with a complete remake of the original.

Story:
Germany, 26th of April, 1998.
The hardened detective Jonas Stark is on a hunt for a brutal killer whos ordered by a secret organization called "the Circle". Yet no matter how close his investigations get, the Circle always seems to be one step ahead and even the killer is much closer than Stark might think.
After he loses everything, he decides to solve the case on his own and stop the cirlce from fulfilling their terrible plans but,... can he?

Features:
-A dark and sinister story about a cop trying to do what's right, no matter what.
-Explore huge areas, filled with unknown dangers and some secrets.
-Six deadly weapons to fight your foes.
-The free decision to sneak past your enemies or to face them in combat.
-Visual novel segments.

Closing remarks:
Don't get confused about me talking about 2009. This is a fundamental remake of what the original once was. It took me days and countless hours but also let me experiment with new techniques and ideas.

Welcome back... again, Red-Cube! XD

It is nice to see you are still doing awesome projects with rpg maker. This time a remake of an old classic of yours! ^ ^

 

Did you animate also those scenes that appear at the start of the trailer?

Quite the frantic gameplay and several weapons... I'll try it as soon as I find some time.

Hey there. Yeah, it seems like every two years I pass by to deliever some games lol.

Yes, I animated this all by myself. But since it's so short it wasn't too much work to do which I can't say for the game.^^

Sure, it's also not very long and not that hard to beat either.

[Guardian of Irael]

Ah ah, yeah! XD

 

Good job with the animations, too, they give personality to the game, not so common to see! ^ ^

It seems very intense and action packed, and I have a thing for Rpgmaker 2003 so I'll add it to my "to-play" list too.

beautiful game! perfect combat system, well-made graphic effects, a plot that seems to be very well done.

Downloaded! I'll try it within the next 9 hours. Why do not you publish it on indiexpo and other indie sites? :)

EDIT: I was trying the game but, after the second kill, I found a bug. Basically, the movement remains locked to the left, I can move down, up but not to the right. It is as if a common event has been activated that moves the hero to the left.

except this bug, as I expected, the game is really well programmed. I'll try it again ;)

Bloccato nel senso che continua ad andare a sinistra anche se non premi nulla?

 

Se così è un bug noto, nel senso riscontrato molte volte sui giochi 2000/2003, su Pocket Quest, su Element of Chaos su Tales of Banalia, ma non dipende dal gioco, ma dal tool.

Per motivi ignoti raramente si incastra la direzione sinistra, pure su altri giochi se li avvii successivamente. In genere riavviare il pc risolve o si risolve da solo dopo un po'.

Esatto, proprio quello. Immaginavo fosse un bug noto, non è la prima volta che lo vedo.

Spesso dipende da periferiche attaccate al PC, ma non sempre, possono essere palesi come camere, joypad o simili o più nascoste.

Hey,

I'm glad you like it. Sure, try it whenever you feel like it. The game is not very long and not very hard to beat either.

 

@Loppa: Thanks dude!^^

I brought it to indie Expo already. Maybe I'll try some other sites too.

It's quite necessary I guess, cause the RPG-Maker scene seem to be quite dead these days.

 

Did the Bug remain or did it dissapear?

And where exactly did it happen?
