Announcing Legionwood Build 5!

I'm currently working on a "director's cut" of sorts for Legionwood. See, while the currently released build (Build 4.1) is playable from start to finish, it's rather unpolished at the moment as I was mainly interested on getting the game functionally completed and released. Thus, Build 4 contains some annoying mapping errors, some niggling bugs and a lot of ellipses in the dialogue that I don't like. There is also a fair bit of content that was cut to get the game out on time.

Build 5 seeks to fix all of these things. It includes a full script rewrite, remapped areas, rebalanced battles and all the little bugs cleaned up. Ultimately it will be a more polished version of Build 4 but it is otherwise identical - if you currently have Build 4, you're fine as is and you won't have to download Build 5, which is aimed more towards new players.

Build 5 is now out!

If you were waiting for Build 5 to come out so you can start the game, or if you were turned off by the many ellipses and misc. bugs in Build 4, check out the OP for updated links now!

Hey everyone!

Just reminding you that although the game is complete, I am still supporting it. Please leave suggestions and feedback and I can implement it!

Announcing the Tower of Trials expansion pack!

Hey there, Legionwood fans! Today, I'm happy to official announce the upcoming expansion pack, Legionwood: Tower of Trials, which is almost completely finished and will be released on December 15th, 2010.

Tower of Trials is an optional expansion pack for Legionwood: Tale of the Two Swords. It will not be distributed with the main game, and will instead be offered as a seperate download. It will not be possible to play Tower of Trials without having a copy of the main game handy; installing the expansion will simply add to your existing Legionwood game.

Tower of Trials adds extra post game content to Legionwood, in the form of an additional chapter that can be played after the ending scene of the main game. The storyline of the expansion pack takes place six months following Castoth's defeat and sees Lann and the group join together once more to investigate the mysterious titular Tower of Trials, a strange dimensional rift that has inexplicably appeared in the land of Rhasphodus. You can expect hours of gameplay as you explore new dungeons, learn new Techs, find new equipment, recruit a brand new summon and build your characters stronger than ever before!

The quest in Tower of Trials takes you beyond the world of Legionwood, into realms where only the fiercest monsters await you, including the land of Taltarus from Legionwood 2 and the deadly mansion from One Night 2: The Beyond. These are in addition to several more original locations, making for one huge dungeon crawl, a concept new to Legionwood.

Tower of Trials seeks to resolve the loose ends of Legionwood's plotline and expands upon characters that recieved little development. Fans of Zanthus in particular will be happy with what the new storyline offers.

So that's what awaits you in Legionwood: Tower of Trials, coming to infect your Legionwood game this December!

Today, I'm officially announcing the closure of Legionwood's development. After almost four long years and two different game engines, I'm finally proud to say I'm happy with the state of the game and with what I've managed to accomplish. Thus, I've now uploaded what should be the final ever release of Legionwood (Build 5.5) which includes some final tweaks, small additions and some resolution with regards to Zanthus (making me feel much better about the game's "completed" designation). Unfortunately, I must inform you all that a hard drive error has resulted in the loss of the planned Legionwood expansion pack. As such, I've no choice but to announce its cancellation. It's now time to move on to bigger and better things, such as Legionwood 2 and an as of yet unnamed literary project I'm working on.

Thank you for all your support, feedback, beta testing, criticism and inspiration that you have given me throughout Legionwood's development. If it were not for you, the game would be very different and probably worse off than it is in its current iteration. Keep an eye out for the next big Legionwood adventure!

That surprises me somewhat too, as I would have expected more feedback if that many views had clocked up. It's too late now... I'm finished with the game.

Nice nice , is there anywhere a download link for the world map theme ? Its beautiful :)

[Dark Gaia]

There is no download link for it as such, though if you go into the Legionwood directory, and go into the Audio/BGM folder, you can listen to all of the game music in your media player.

Hi, everyone! I haven't posted any updates on this game for a long time, but I recently overhauled it and thought I'd pop in and copy/paste the update from the game's blog so that you all know what's going down. Here it is:

Hi there, Legionwood fans! In celebration of Legionwood being featured on the front page of RPG Maker.net, I'm happy to announce that the Final Edition of the game is now available to download!

The Final Edition is the definitive version of Legionwood. This updated build of the game completely fixes the last of the remaining bugs in the game, restores a smattering of cut beta content to the game (such as the extra floor of the Pirate's Cove and the Adventure theme music) and, best of all, features a completely rewritten script, with every line of dialogue in the game addressed for clarity, brevity and spelling and grammar errors. Each of Legionwood's characters now has a more distinct personality, and there is more emotion and characterisation in the game than in previous builds. Foreshadowing and references to Legionwood 2 have also been inserted into the game, to create a stronger link between the two titles.

All of this work, including rewriting the dialogue and tightening up the game code took me about a month to complete - it wasn't a small task, but I've wanted to update the original Legionwood for a while, so I placed the sequel on hiatus to get it done. Now that the Final Edition is online and ready to play, I'm inviting all Legionwood fans and new players alike to give it a try and pass the time until the next release of Legionwood 2 with a more polished, better written RPG that I'm sure they'll enjoy.

With that said, I'll get back to work on Legionwood 2. Now that the Final Edition of Legionwood is released, I'm happy to move on to the future and make some long-awaited progress on the sequel. Keep an eye out for Beta 3.0 of Legionwood 2 some time in October, and I'll bring you more news on the game's development as it happens.

So, if you haven't played the game yet, now's the time to do so :)
