I have finished that demo update I posted about. All the bugs of the previous demo should be gone now. As well, I’ve revised some of the script. The beginning of the game looks rather different now as well.

One more possibly important note: It’s longer than the previous demo.
That, and your saves from the old demo are not compatible with the new one.

This is due to many of the events I changed to remove bugs and the like. So my apologies.

Just go to the Shadowgate ReBorn page, download, install, and enjoy!

EDIT: Uploaded a hopefully glitch free version.

So I had planned for yesterday to be the day where I release something ReBorn related. Namely, an updated demo. I have even mentioned that in an earlier post.

Suffice it to say, I missed that date. Due to me being sick, I didn’t get any work done. Thus, the update has been delayed to a date I don’t know yet. Probably a week from a now or something.

Sorry gaiz.

I’ve started work on the full game. The first thing I did was remove the demo’s ending.
My apologies to Lina. XD

People who’ve beaten the demo will understand my apology.

Anyways, when taking a break from working on the game, I had gone to EF.
One of the users there had notified me of a bug in the demo. It was a pretty major bug. XC
I fixed it in a few minutes though.
I then decided to go bug hunting through the rest of the demo.
Finding a few bugs, I soon fixed them.
However, I will not be uploading the bug-free version of the demo.
This is due to what I said about the ending.

So, I’ll tell you about the major bug, as it’s gamebreaking. XD
Whatever you do in the demo, do not enter the cave on the other side of the rickety bridge.
On your way back out again, you’ll have 0 HP, and die as soon as you use an item or spell.
You never have to enter this cave in the demo, and you can’t do what’s needed to be done in there anyways.

The other bugs were minor, and you may not even notice them.
So I won’t mention them.

Anyways, in the full game, the Fire Room’s events are now complete.
Progress has slowed a bit, as the game needs more complex events now.

So I have completed the demo!
But first, screenshots!

Title Screen
Main Gate
Warlock Lord
Subscreen
Item Screen

You can download the demo here.

EDIT: I completely forgot to post the controls. XD

Arrow Keys are used to move.
Z is choose. X is cancel.
X also brings up the subscreen.
…I think C also does that, but I forget. Just ignore this line. XD
Oh, and you can hold Shift to dash. I had forgotten that. Sorry.
And, no, you don’t need any other programs to play this game.

So, I was without internet for a couple of days. Again.
As a result, I got lot of work done in Shadowgate ReBorn.

The entire game is mapped out now. This means that walls, doors, objects, etc. etc. are all placed.
Most of them do nothing due to not having any events set.

Now then, I’ve fully completed events for all of the rooms that you can get to without entering the EPOR Room, the Room of Mirrors, or the lake with the skeleton in it.

I’m playtesting it as well, to make sure that the events work.
I’m also doing a second run through the original game so I can properly set the events.

Next, I’ll address some changes I’ve made.
For one, I’m leaving the torch system until last. Then I can make two copies of the game. One that uses it, and one that does not. This assumes I can implement a torch system of course. Torches will still have other uses regardless.

Secondly, the suicides via your own weapons (Sword, Spear, Hammer, etc.) have been removed. This is simply because RPG Maker VX won’t let me use a weapon as an item. I’ve thought of a couple ways to get around this that I haven’t tried yet, so hopefully it won’t be a permanent removal.

Lastly, there’s a few script changes, and object changes. Don’t worry, nothing major.
I do plan to add a secret area that wasn’t in the original game though.

I guess that’s it. When next I work on it, I’ll be starting on the EPOR Room.
