I realized I’ve never made a satisfactory pinned post. So here we go.

I am Edmund! I’m making a game! And this blog is for said game! My main blog is @edmundthearchwizard.

So, what exactly is this game? Well, it’s a tactical RPG(Y’know, like Fire Emblem or Dungeons and Dragons(Yes I know that D&D doesn’t technically require a tactical grid shut up)) based off of the Greek myth of the Trojan War. You know the Trojan war.

So, how I making this game? I’m using RPG Maker MV, with a large menagerie of different plugins, primarily SRPG Engine MV and it’s related plugins. Why MV? Because that’s the one I own and am used too.

My current plan is that the Main Story will be 16 chapters(So, 16 major maps), plus the tutorial. But, that may very easily become larger. I also plan for at least 6 post game chapters based on the Odyssey. So, while it won’t be huge, it will hopefully be a fairly satisfying size.

I have no images with this post because, one, I already have some early images on this blog, and two, because, as said in my previous post(https://www.tumblr.com/thetrojanwarorsomething/744868777379971072/been-awhile-since-the-lost-update-hasnt-it) I’m working on transitioning away from using the RTP(Default RPG Maker MV assets) to making my own custom assets, and I’m. To exactly a great artist. So it’ll be awhile before I have any close to final images to show you.

How long do I think it’ll be before I can release the game? No idea. I hope at some point in 2025, but knowing me, it won’t be until 2026.

Oh! And I'm taking title suggestions! I'm currently calling it Troy Story, but I'm hoping to find something better. If I pick your suggestion, you get to be in the credits! So! I hope this post has got you interested! If you have any questions, send them in! I hope to make a Ko-Fi at some point as well, so stay tuned for that. Thank you for reading!

Been awhile since the lost update, hasn't it? Anyway, I'm still working hard! The main thing is that, well, I'm doing a complete overhaul.

Up until recently, I was using the RTP(default assets that come with RPG Maker). Now, I'm working on creating my own custom tilesets and characters. And, well, I'm not exactly a very talented artist. so things will take awhile. So, yeah.

If you have any questions, ask away. I'll share more when it's ready.

Damn these are old screenshots. I'm using an entirely different core plugin now- I was using Arleq1's Tactics system at first, but I'm using SRPG Engine MV now, mainly because it allows for more control and also is compatible with Yanfly Battle Engine Core and Yanfly SV Enemies.

Hello everyone! I decided to create a side blog specifically for this game! If this is the first you're seeing of it, I'm making a tactical RPG based off the Trojan War in RPG Maker MV! Also, I don't have a good title, so I'm taking suggestions! If you have an idea and I pick it, I'll put your name in the credits! Anyway, here are some promo images(Plus the very first character design I'm showing off). Enjoy!

And now... Behold Odysseus!

Anyway, thanks for reading this post, And I hope you enjoyed and look forward to seeing more!
