Game Overview
Legionwood is a console style RPG made using RPG Maker VX. Legionwood is my attempt at creating a nostalgic and familiar RPG experience reminiscent of the classics of the early 90's such as Breath Of Fire and Crono Trigger.
Legionwood features a massive world filled with adventures and side quests, and is expected to contain over 20 hours of gameplay and four huge story driven chapters.
While it isn't revolutionary and contains gameplay that is for the most part bog standard RPG fare, Legionwood is designed to be that way; familiar and fun for RPG fans looking for a casual game to play.

Storyline
The world of Legionwood. Once upon a time, it was prosperous and full of technological
wonders. About three thousand years ago, a mysterious phenomena demolished most of
mankind's cities, and as a species, they had to start again. This much, archaeologists and
scholars know from the ancient ruins of technological cities and fortresses dotted throughout
the most barren parts of Legionwood's surface.
After at least two millennia had passed, mankind had begun to re-establish itself as the
planet's dominant species. Major inventions were being rediscovered, and technological
development had finally reached a medieval period. It was at this time when everything began
to go wrong. Legionwood has always had war, but suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere began
a furious and unpredictable world war that raged for years and devastated cities and nations
worldwide. This terrible conflict, known as the Great War, ended as suddenly as it began, with
no mention of its cause or conclusion to the public, and mankind began to pick up the pieces.
Now, one thousand years have passed since the Great War came to an end. Since that
terrible time, makeshift peace treaties have ensured there have been only minor conflicts over
the last centuries, but once again technology is on the rise, and half truths and legends about
the Great War and its origins are prevalent in popular culture.
Each country, empire and kingdom fears its neighbours, and only reluctantly are peace ties
held in place. In a last ditched effort to try and maintain some sort of peace between the rival
kingdoms of Charn and Trevelle, the king of Charn has decided to hold a celebration and
festival to honor his new daughter's birth. Everybody in attendance is expecting a good time,
but a key figure linked to Legionwood's dark past of conflict and death has been biding his
time, and has decided that now is the perfect time to stage a new Great War and political
upheaval.

Game Features
- A character driven story full of twists, turns and red herrings, and an intended gameplay time of
around 20 hours.
- 6 playable characters, each one with a distinct personality, which you can mold into your own
custom character classes to suit your combat style.
- Turn based combat with an emphasis on tough opponents and using skills, rather than
mashing "attack" over and over. Think, don't button mash!
- A custom soundtrack, composed entirely of non comercial game music, some exclusive
to Legionwood.
- Collect, raise and summon 5 elemental spirits to aid you in battle! Summon level up, learn skills
and fight just like your party members!
- Innovative Ability Point system by KGC allows you to choose which bonuses you gain in level ups,
so you're free to decide which role your characters fill in your battle plan.

You can download this game from the page here:

Attention!

The beta testers I used at school seem to have not informed me of a few audio errors which occur in the mid areas of the game. As a result, I've released a new 800kb self applying patch to fix these. This patch will also perform the same operations as the last one.

If you're downloading the game from scratch, please get this latest patch. Unfortunately the patch will not work for those who've already used the first patch I posted yesterday. You can still fix these problems without redownloading however, by following these steps:

1. Go into Legionwood 3.1/Audio/BGM folder.
2. Copy "jbsm024" and rename it to "Crysta".
3. Copy "jbsm010" and "jbsm026" and rename them to "06a-Battle-Field" and "Terranigma - Sad Theme" respectively.

Gotta remove the quotation mark from the end, then the link works fine:

Same problem with these other links:
www.bluesophia.net
www.rpgrevolution.com

Why do we see that problem constantly on this message board?
Links not working because of an added quotation mark that shouldn't be there?

Sorry, I just copy and pasted the thread contents from RRR, which uses a different hyperlinking system. For some reason, it leaves " marks on some forums. Anywhoo...

Update!

I've realised that I actually posted the wrong patch to download; it doesn't fix the tree blocking Hawkshire. I've released a new patch (which I should have posted initially) which I had mistook the other patch for. I don't keep a very organized computer. Sorry about the problems!
Check out the original post for a link.

This new patch will work on both the original unpatched version of the game AND the version already patched with the previous patch.

Update!

To circumvent all of the patching that has to be done, I've uploaded a new version of the game with all of the problems fixed and at a smaller size too (58MB).

To move your save files over, do this:

Copy and paste the Quest*.rvdata and Quest*.bmp into the new directory, or simply reinstall over the old game's directory.

Update:

I discovered the problem! My RPG Maker VX was for some reason failing to save changes to my game (no doubt since it's in Program Files and my Vista changed security settings lately) so every time I thought I was fixing a problem pointed out by my beta testers, I really wasn't! I reinstalled RMVX, reset the security settings and released a new patch which fixes the few problems left in the game's final areas. Just apply it to the latest version of the game. (Either the raw download or one that's already had patches 1 and 2 applied).

I am sorry for this very much. Damn Vista...

This game looks promising, but when I try to leave the first town, a message appears saying "Unable to find file Audio/BGM/jbsmc033," and the game closes. I applied that new patch you just released but no luck.
I checked and the file IS there.....any ideas?

Is that comma at the end supposed to be there?

jbsmc033, <--- comma at the end

If it is, then try adding a comma to the end of the file's name.

This whole topic is a mess of posts, patches and i'm not sure what the fuck is going on. Dark Gaia, can you pre-patch the corect version and upload, then get one of the mods to delete all the confusing posts? I mean is the 8+ hours playtime including 6 hours figuring out which version to patch?

Funny you should say that as I've actually downloaded this game 3 times during the past week.

I was about to download it yet again, but when I saw that DrgnSwrd found yet another game crashing bug just now, I figured I'd wait for the next patch or version instead.

No, there wasn't a comma at the end of the message. The comma's just there for grammar reasons. I guess it's cause all my teachers were grammar nazi's, and I guess it rubbed off on me.
There was a period, though, so I tried adding the period to the end...still no luck...

I'm sorry. I have an internet speed of 20kb per second. This means it takes me about 6 hours to upload a new version of the game, which lately I haven't had time to do, so I've been uploading patches instead. Currently, there is one download, and two patches. Download the game, and add the two patches in order and you're done. I really would like to do more, I normally would upload prepatched files but I don't have the connection for it anymore.

If somebody wants to, I'd appreciate it if someone could download the latest release, apply both patches, and upload it somewhere, then I can post the link here and it's more convenient for everyone. I'd really appreciate that.

@DrgnSwrd: I've fixed that. For some reason, RPG Maker VX was having a script error and wasn't processing sound files properly. I don't know what caused it, but I reinstalled RPG Maker VX and it fixed it. So, I've released a patch to fix the problem. Just apply it to the version you've been playing.

Now, since I've fixed both my RMVX and my Vista which was causing the problems, the game is fully working and I've had players successfully reach the end.

Update:

The final version of Chapter 3 is now out with all problems fixed. Simply download the installable file, and then download Patch 1 and Patch 2, apply them IN ORDER, and the game is ready. I apologize for my slow connection.

The second patch won't install.

I get this error:

You did install both patches in order right? With the new version? I've tested it and they work. If not, you CAN play the game with just the first patch, simply take the one MP3 file in the BGM folder, and rename it to "jbmsc033". Thats all that patch does anyway.

You are restarting your computer after each patch application right?

I followed the instructions you gave after re-downloading the game from the new link.

First, install game.
Then install first patch (Legionwood_3.1_Fix_4)
Then restart
Then install second patch--which is where I got that error.

I just tried the whole process again, only this time I also restarted after installing the game, but still got that error with the second patch.

So, I just renamed the mp3 like you said.
Hopefully that will work.
