As part of my return to Save Point, I'm going to show off the game I've been working on. Deceit x Justice, my third RPG Maker game, has been my main project throughout most of my creative writing degree courses and I'm so close to the end. I've got a big, fat, two-hour demo that'll hopefully be out tomorrow but until then here's a little glimpse of what I've been working on: an old school-style RPG with plenty of characters, a handful of secrets and a plot written to explore just how evil an authority can truly be and how power can change its wielders...
All life on the world of Terfing possesses a soul known as a Fetch.
It is from these spirits that their shepherds took their name. In time these guides, the Fetchers, learned how to use the spectres' power to control the world's natural forces and establish a great imperium.
Twenty years ago, that nation was overthrown by Balir: the Hero of the Hynes. In the aftermath of his victory, he established the Grand Aegis League to protect his people from the fearsome power of the surviving Fetchers.
Since then, Balir's League has expanded to maintain order across the world. While they are beloved by thousands as protectors of the powerless, there always insurgents who sympathise with the fallen Fetchers and secret plot to restore them to power.
Characters
Content Hidden
Rash Quinn Age: 21 - Weapon: Sword
A spirited young man who dedicated himself to resisting the League six years ago. While he questions whether justice or revenge drives him, he maintains an upbeat and sociable personality and is easily motivated by the prospect of doing good.
Juna Bellacroix Age: 26 - Weapon: Dual Pistols
A woman pursuing a rogue Fetcher named Rowan: a goal she pursues with a serious, often single-minded and sometimes hypocritical, determination. Despite her focused personality, she is unafraid of displaying her emotions around those she considers her allies.
Sion Refalse Age: 40 - Weapon: Hand Axe
Sion is a well-connected rebel of many contradictions: none of which he is ashamed of. Although he rarely speak of his motives for taking Rash in six years ago, their similarly cheerful personalities and appreciation for beautiful women have created a strong bond between them.
Noah Grey Age: 19 - Weapon: Spear
A young mercenary with an affinity for technology, Noah has been hired by a mysterious backer to assassinate Balir. While his personality is mature and efficient beyond his years, he tends to slip into more theatrical methods of getting his job done.
Ingrid Arthuria Age: 18 - Weapon: Cannon
Blunt, crass, sarcastic, perverted and proud of it all: Ingrid is a haughty scientist researching the incredible power of the Fetchers. While she makes little secret of her opposition to Balir, she has an unusual habit of defending him from wild accusations.
More coming soon...

Also, woo~.
Let me put it this way. A chance to use scissors in our class? A chance to practise our discus-throwing. Our edjumacayshun was real gewd it wus.
So, anywhoo. About the demo. You'll get three towns (and a mini-town), seven and a half dungeons and five bosses. There are also a handful of mini-areas, in which you can find new treasures, or battle/recruit new Fetches.
