Tales from the Caravans (prototype)

These are the earliest stages for the development of my game Tales of the Caravans, modeled on the world of Elcart from a story of mine by the same name.

(Side note): Some doors are not properly finished, so they will require you to click on them or press the SPACE bar to go through. I think the only ones with this problem currently are the equipment shop, Inn/item shop, and ruined house. Just face the door and press space!

Currently, only the first "quest" of the game is playable. Larger parts of the game will be released as they are developed, though it may take some time as I'm new to this.

The game uses base assets from RPGMaker as well as a couple plugins from Yanfly (namely class changer and skill progression).  However I do plan to change the art style to something more unique later.

HOW TO PLAY:

Arrow keys move your character though you can also point and click. SPACE bar interacts with things as well.

When you start the game, you will find yourself in the middle of the capital city of Elcart. As a novice caravaneer, your first task is to get expedition jobs from the archivist found just northeast of your starting point, outside the Temple of Lode. However, as you have no lode shard, you will be tasked with finding one yourself.

You start the game with low stats and little gold. I HIGHLY recommend that you go to the shop to pick out some equipment before trying to find your lode shard, as enemies can and will kill you even with a basic weapon. As a caravaneer, you can equip any weapon type, so choose whatever you like. Different weapon types have different bonuses or restrictions so feel free to experiment over multiple play-throughs. A last note regarding equipment, a caravaneer only has access to light armour at the start of the game, so you will only have two armour pieces from the shop that you can equip for now (rags, peasant clothes).

Please give me whatever feedback you feel like, especially if it is a problem with the games systems. As I mentioned before, I'm quite new at this and have tried to keep the systems simple yet balanced.
