Like retro style RPG video games? Try Elu'Ra!
12 years ago
Some of you may know that a hobby of mine is making RPG video games. My best friend and I have been working on a project for the past few months and have finally put together a playable version!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uva4h4xay.....v/Elu%27Ra.exe
Meet the first chapter of Elu'Ra - Morituri Mundus: a 16 bit era style JRPG video game. Approximately 1.5 hours of gameplay in this first chapter, with more to come! A working playable alpha, we've playtested thoroughly, so there should be no or few bugs left. All that remains is to add more flavor NPCs and items to the chapter and implement the custom content we have planned.
Credit my best friend for most of the work here, but I've done a good bit of work in creative consulting, artwork, music, editing, and playtesting. We'd both appreciate it if you guys would take a look, and give us your input on any bugs or things you might suggest to improve the game. Just use the link above to download the project files if you'd like a peek! Send me a note if you need some help figuring out how to play or if there are problems with the link.
From Michael - I'd like to thank in advance everyone who gives Elu'Ra a chance. With about 200+ hours of work over the course of a year, all to culminate in just a couple of hours worth of gameplay, this project has been a literal labor of love. I, and everyone else involved, appreciate your interest in this game project.
Read more about the game below!

Chapter 1 Story:
Eliquinn Bannor, Cade Lorran, and Vance Creighton are hunters of demons, monsters, and nightmares made physical. Now the three have to face a dangerous foe, a conspiracy for power, and their own clashing personalities. With each step they take, they come closer to a horrible truth of human cruelty and ignorance. Only by putting their differences aside and coming together as a team will they have any chance to overcome such ridiculous odds.
Currently implemented features:
Branching storyline! Your decisions and how thoroughly you explore the world have an impact on both the depth of the story and the difficulty of the game!
New game plus! Carry over your stats for a second playthrough. See what you missed the first time!
In future releases:
A game divided into chapters, each of which is replayable! Missed something? Replay with improved stats and uncover all its secrets before moving on to the next chapter.
A rich storyline including numerous player choices! Each chapter has a different objective and theme, from completing straightforward guild quests to solving a murder mystery. Every stage of the game builds on the overall plot, slowly revealing an unseen threat that the three must face for the sake of the world.
A diverse cast of characters! The main party members each fill a specific role in battle, but also have their own pasts and personalities to be revealed. Explore the world of Elu'Ra to learn more about the trio and the various secondary characters surrounding them!
A 100 floor bonus dungeon that expands on the lore of Elu'Ra awaits those who play the game to its fullest! Brave the Tower of Focus to earn the best equipment in the game and learn the whole truth about Elu'Ra, the main party, and the conflict they face!
A guild! Recruit guild members to choose from when you need to bolster your fighting party, or skilled workers to provide useful services outside of battle. Merchants, crafters, healers, magical quick travel, and more! Accept guild quests to further your guild's reputation and influence, as well as strengthen your party! Your choices throughout the game influence how it grows and what it can offer!
A gathering and crafting system! Want new and better equipment? Need items? Don't buy them. Make them yourself at the guild! Craft items unavailable anywhere else!
A skill system rooted in hard work and realism! Learn new abilities to use in battle via training, magic texts, or other means, rather than just automatically gaining them upon reaching new character levels. Earn your strength!

On behalf of my bud, I'd love it if you guys would give us a hand, whether it's just to play and comment on the game, to tell us about bugs or issues, or to help us get custom content (music, battle graphics, map sprites, etc).
