I am new at itch.io . I discovered website two days ago and it blowed my mind. There are lots of amazing games in here . Your game is one of the great games. Drawings of your game looks great and I like those type of games. I will download soon.
Sorry to hear that. I don't have any difficulty settings planned, but maybe I can help you with a strategy to win the fight? Which fight did you get stuck on?
I stuck on the Fight right after find Angus the Enemy is really hard and i only have the Main Charakter and her sister +Angus but... he is not that strong ^^ 7 or 8 Trys i have allready
Thanks for giving it so many tries! There are many ways to win this battle, but here are a few things should give you a significant advantage. 1. Be sure to extract the Snake Stone, which gives you the "Bind" skill. Use this on the Cerberus to inflict the ATK Down status effect. 2. Keep some "Small Holy Balms" in your inventory to remove negative status effects 3. Be sure to use Angus' "Sludge Bomb" skill when needed. This can delay the Cerberus' next turn so that you have a chance to heal party members with low HP before it attacks. 4. Lastly, the Cerberus is weak to Fire elemental damage, so use Ysabel's "Fireball" spell as often as you can.
Hey uhh... idk why but i downloaded and unzip the game just fine but when i tried double clicking the "Haven" file its not launching the game. Can someone help me?
Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having this issue. I've just tried downloading the file myself, and it runs with no issues. I've also received some recent feedback from other players who managed to run the file. Out of curiosity, can you explain what's specifically happening when you click the file? Is there an error? Does your OS lock up? Is there any response at all?
The game file just simply wont run. Downloaded the game, unziped it, Opened the game folder, I double clicked the Haven file, my mouse cursor got the blue circling thingy that always means the file is being processed, then nothing. I waited for at least 5 minutes but nothing comes up. No error message, No file missing error, just nothing.
That's really odd. I'm going to look into this today. It'll be a little tough since I can't reproduce the error. But I'm sure someone else has run into this issue at some point. Let me do some digging and I'll get back to you! Thanks for your time!
I should ask first, do you use the RPG Maker Software at all on your PC?
I don't quite understand what you mean by that, do you mean the software that many game maker use to make game? if it is then nope, I don't think I have it. I never make any kind of game. But if you mean like a software that makes my pc run an rpg game i think i do have it but I'm not sure too, because I've played rpg game with pixelated texture like this although not the same and I can play it. It would be weird if I only can't play this game. Try checking a game creator called "VasantJ" , that's the kind of rpg game that I usually play. (Btw english is not my first language so I hope you can still understand what I'm trying to say, the game looks pretty cool so I'm hoping that whatever the problem is will be solved)
No problem! I understood perfectly! I've asked around about this problem, and it's possible that the issue could be linked to anti-virus software not liking the .exe file. So I'm going to reupload this. I'm quite busy with work/life so I don't think I'll get to it today. Hopefully tomorrow. I'll be sure to let you know once that is done! Thanks again for your time!
Can we take a moment to appreciate this underrated masterpiece?there's no way this guy spended all his free time to create an rpg all by himself for years on itch? °•°
This truly shows how this work is truly loved by the creator!
I generally try to reply to everyone, but for whatever reason, I totally missed this comment. And it's one of the best ones! So sorry about that. I know it's late, but I just wanted to show you my appreciation for this. Thank you!
I just downloaded the demo and haven't even played it yet but, I will say that I am grateful that even after 5 years you have not given up on this project and are still pushing through. As so many great games never get made because their developers give up on them. So truly thank you for putting all that you have into this. You are an amazing human being.
Thank you so much for this message! It's so refreshing to hear. The passion is definitely still there for this project. I don't see myself ever dropping this project, no matter how long it takes me to finish it. I "try" to work on it at least a few days a week. It's just that after having a son, and switching careers, my life has been pretty busy. I do hope that you enjoy the demo though! If you have the time, please let me know how it goes! Thanks again!
That's exactly what I'm going for, so when I hear someone say it looks and & feels like a game from the 90s, it's a huge win for me. Thank you so much!
Firstly I must say this game has bopping music. For the length I have played, the story was quite engaging. The gameplay follows the same style as a turn based rpg but still adds some new mechanics like the EP instead of MP which can be recovered by guarding. I think the difficulty of the game is quite manageable although I died almost not close to the end of the demo :| I enjoy for how long I've played and can't wait to see more :D!
No plans to bring it over. But anything is possible. My main concern with porting the game over to different platforms is quality assurance. I'm not confident that this game would work well on a console. Thanks for your support!
Thank you so much! I believe you left some feedback on the survey as well. Your feedback was great, and I'll be taking a second look at elemental affinities.
Honestly, this is pure laziness on my part. I never really took the time to dig into exporting to Mac. If it were as simple as clicking a button, I'd do it. But from what I'm told, it's not that easy unless you're developing on a Mac version of the software I'm using. I'll definitely make it a goal of mine to figure it out though. Thanks for your interest!
Love this game! My completionism is very happy with side quests.
I did notice that in the nova ring shooter game, sometimes it would continue the game after the timer stopped, and I had to restart the game from a save point.
I got so close to the 15 hits! But I could only manage 14. Any tips?
That's a really interesting bug. Thanks for the heads up! Super glad you enjoyed it. As for tips on the mini-game? Try not to travel too far between targets. :)
Thank you! You're the first to ask for a Mac release, actually. The final product should definitely be available for Mac. Just not sure about recent demos, because I'm still updating them.
Fantastic Demo. Everything about this game was top notch. The style was consistent throughout, and definitely evoked the retro vibe you were aiming for. The story unfolded nicely. The characters had depth and potential for some solid development. The battles were simple, but balanced and still required strategy. Solid, all the way through. I highly recommend this one. I'm looking forward to playing the full version one day.
Great classic feeling RPG! The immersive story and outstanding character development kept me very interested! The battle system and equipment are not complicated. No sharp learning curve. My biggest complaint is that it isn't long enough! Keep up the great work!
That's more my fault for misunderstanding. lol. A lot of the music in the game (including the title theme) is made by Phil Hamilton. He has some game soundtracks for sale HERE.
Glad you enjoyed it! I believe I've found the cause of the crashing issue. There was a memory leak due to some faulty code. Should be fixed with a new version tomorrow. Thanks!

Hope all is going well man! Still one of my games to watch! Hoping it is progressing well!
I appreciate the follow up! Things are going fantastic and I've made a lot of progress over the last couple weeks. Still going strong!

It run smooth. And look really good. Is there some Difficult Settings planed? I stuck in one fight

Nearly 5 years, still a demo?
Yup! Might be another five years before a release. Maybe even ten! Who knows. :)
Arguably one of the best RM games, and I don't say that lightly.
Looks great very 90s
That's exactly what I'm going for, so when I hear someone say it looks and & feels like a game from the 90s, it's a huge win for me. Thank you so much!
Is this 64 bit
Is it not, unfortunately.
This game is just beautiful and very relaxing.
Enjoyed every minute of it.
Thank you so much!
heya! which scripts didja use? i´m making an similar game and wanted to know.
It'd be too much to give you an entire list of scripts. I used a lot of them. But I also used quite a bit of my own code.
You did an outstanding job on your demo! Nice mapping, interesting yet simple storyline, enjoyable play.
Thank you so much! Simplicity is definitely what I'm going for. Glad you enjoyed it! Still working hard on it too.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it. Let me also say that I appreciate your dedication to playing RM games. Every little bit helps.
This game was super fun. I strongly recommend it to everyone looking at this game!
Looks interesting, love the song for the gameplay montage, can't actually try it though b/c I'm on a MacBook :(
Gorgeous art style and very nice battle mechanics!
Thank you so much for the comment! I'm still working very hard on this. :)
This project seems like a lot of fun to play.
Do you have any plans to bring your game to Playstation? It’d be a day 1 purchase for me.
Sorry for the late response!
No plans to bring it over. But anything is possible. My main concern with porting the game over to different platforms is quality assurance. I'm not confident that this game would work well on a console. Thanks for your support!
i love the story it makes me want to play more :)
old looking graphics are good too , like you wrote up it's like being back in the 90's for those of us who were teenagers back then.
great game :)
Thank you so much! I believe you left some feedback on the survey as well. Your feedback was great, and I'll be taking a second look at elemental affinities.
yes i did a feedback :) i think those are important for games :)
spanish version pls!
portuguese version PLZZZZZZZZ
Honestly, this is pure laziness on my part. I never really took the time to dig into exporting to Mac. If it were as simple as clicking a button, I'd do it.

Best RPG Maker game I've ever played
Wow... Thank you! These kind of comments are always so motivating.
Love this game! My completionism is very happy with side quests.
I did notice that in the nova ring shooter game, sometimes it would continue the game after the timer stopped, and I had to restart the game from a save point.
I got so close to the 15 hits! But I could only manage 14. Any tips?

This game looks cool. Any chance for a Mac release?
Thank you! You're the first to ask for a Mac release, actually. The final product should definitely be available for Mac. Just not sure about recent demos, because I'm still updating them.
Oh, look, it's commie Bernie! All these nazi sympathizers need to get out of our country!
Great game!!! Just right. When are you releasing the full game???
Thank you so much for the feedback! I've been very busy as of late. But I'm hoping to release the game by mid-2021.
Sounds great. I would rather it take longer and you work all the kinks and bugs out than rush it. Thanks for getting back to us!
i used the itch random game to find this
Quality game that gets better every iteration. This ones gonna be special.
Fantastic Demo. Everything about this game was top notch. The style was consistent throughout, and definitely evoked the retro vibe you were aiming for. The story unfolded nicely. The characters had depth and potential for some solid development. The battles were simple, but balanced and still required strategy. Solid, all the way through. I highly recommend this one.

Really enjoyed playing the demo...can't wait for the full game!
Glad to hear it! Also, I really appreciate the comment. Thanks!
Great classic feeling RPG! The immersive story and outstanding character development kept me very interested! The battle system and equipment are not complicated. No sharp learning curve. My biggest complaint is that it isn't long enough! Keep up the great work!
como se descargan los juegos desde este tipo de pagina
El juego se está actualizando. No hay descarga disponible en este momento. Lo siento.
It is wonderful RPG!
Who made your title theme?
A pixel artist who goes by the name of ConkerMich. His website is linked HERE. He works fast and is great with responding to messages.
Oh I was meaning to say who made your title music lol my bad.
That's more my fault for misunderstanding. lol. A lot of the music in the game (including the title theme) is made by Phil Hamilton. He has some game soundtracks for sale HERE.
Can his songs be used for commercial games?
Only one of the soundtracks. It can be purchased at the RPGMakerweb store.
Great game so far - it does crash occasionally, but I'm not sure exactly why.
Glad you enjoyed it! I believe I've found the cause of the crashing issue. There was a memory leak due to some faulty code. Should be fixed with a new version tomorrow. Thanks!
Great. :) Too bad the demo is so short. :) I can't wait until you release the full game. :)
