The Great Jaded Dragon
By Dragon Soft

Description
 Three guards and a dead women enter the Dragon Temple. None of them come out. One comes back to earth in his armor, insane with the rage. The other lays in a pool of blood chanting in a new form. Another runs to the top of the temple fearing all that surrounds him. The women seems to have been ripped apart...with dragon's blood at her feet.... In general, I'm trying to create not just an RPG, but a work of art. It won't contain your standard RPG elements such as buying a gold full mail or talking to an NPC and having him reply with "Welcome to Redundantly Named Town 1." The story unfolds like a great epic, not a stereo typical save the princess plot. In other words, a more sophisticated RPG. Can you handle it? ;)

Features
Custom tiles - not taken from RPG Maker, etc. (i.e. its a tinge original)
A first rate plot - it harbors symbolism of all kinds, poetry, etc. (i.e. not your standard "Hey I'm NPC!" RPG text)
DirectX 7.0 powered - then again, its standard :)
Armor components - don't buy it, build it!
More too!

   
Development Status:
10%
Expected Release:
It's a sin to give one for an indie RPG :)

 - Thinking of doing a quick scripting demo and such
 I'm laying out plans for the exposistion to be a quick demo, which should introduce all the main characters (except of course, for the ones you meet much later...heh) and then some. Not really any playing involved. But you could walk around, no? Uploading more onto the section on the Web site. Just added a sketch of Yamato, and the other two guards shall come soon. A pic of Boboli would be nice, no? :)

 - Screen shots coming!
 I just got the map editor about 95% complete today without script functionality, so expect some quick screen shots of the tiles or something of that nature soon. :)
