Hello... I have not posted here in a long time, but I actually still read the forums regularly to hear you guys' thoughts on new games and such (I have yet to find a community with a more knowledgeable userbase on eastern RPGs).  I always wish I had been more social here, but what can I say?  Anyway,  I have been working on a game for a while now and recently released a new Chapter.  I figured some people here may be interested.  It's for PC but also works on Mac and Linux.  (I'm at work on an Android version, but it's on the backburner a little)

Motrya started out in 2003 as an idea I had for a game about a wizard who couldn't use magic. He'd be able to read magic scrolls and all his friends could use spells, but he couldn't. From this idea, I created the world of Rieyath and a story about its three races, some gifted in the art of Forlae (magic) and some not. As of now, I have released the game with two of its eventual four chapters complete. There are presently about six hours of content.



The main gameplay gimmick of Motrya is that every battle is challenging and significant, from the "generic" mobs of enemies to the important storyline battles. You may die in what appears to be a simple fight, but will have the chance to retry and use a different strategy. There are three difficulty levels for different kinds of players (I would recommend Veteran for most players here).

Story

It's the day of Murlor's graduation from Yormus Academy, a school that teaches its students the art of Forlae. He's been unable to use any of the techniques taught, and is very nervous about the final practical exam. However, Murlor soon learns that the practical should be the last of his worries, as a dark secret has been discovered that will not only explain his shortcomings, but affect the fate of everything he knows. With his goofy best friend Dayang and the brilliant, lovely Icebird at his side, Murlor must travel the world and find the secrets of the past before an evil menace can.

Thanks for at least taking the time to read the post... I have found it very difficult to "sell" people on playing games of this style, as most of them expect typical cookie-cutter RPG Maker stuff.  All I can promise is that this game isn't one of those.

Just posting to say I have read your post and am interested. I may give this a spin if the right mood strikes me. :) Is this a one-man project?

No, I have a couple of people working with me (listed in the Staff section on the website, not that you'd probably know any of them).  I'm a terrible artist and not musically inclined.  I used to make games on my own, but I've learned over the years that it's foolhardy unless you're naturally good at everything.

Luther Lansfeld:
Looks cool! :) I definitely like the concept of all of the fights being challenging; it's one of my biggest beefs with the genre.

VySaika:
Downloading, will play in a bit.

Wanted to toss out a question, though. On your site, it has a download for chapter 2, and a download for a save from the end of chapter 1....but I see no download to actually PLAY chapter 1. Is that included in the download of chapter 2? Or something separate that I just didn't see?
