So you finally did this?
AWESOME... and I was worried what this project is dead :3
In fact it was dead.
I am no longer using rpg maker any more. But the project was 90% finished, so I decided to digg it out again and add the missing parts to release it finally.
if its a side scrolling game than what's all the rpg elements in the first half of the video?
The first part of the video is part of the games intro. There is a small overworld, where you can walk around in standard rpg maker top view, but there are no rpg elements. The overworld is used only to access the different stages.
