Hello! Thank you for checking out my game. This game was made for  RPG Maker Themed Game Jam #2 hosted by  Beregon

The theme is Path of Light. 

My game is about a princess named Aeya who has difficulty manifesting her dormant Light Magick that she was born with. After a terrible kidnapping incident, she learned of a crystal made to assist a Child of Light. She must seek out the pieces, with the help of her friends and a mysterious light,  mend the full crystal, and hopefully discover her powers on the way. 

I feel that Aeya is following a figurative path to discover what she has been carrying inside her all her life. She follows a light toward the pieces, and learns her Light Magick by leveling up. She also wields a spear, but later finds an actual light spear (this isn't a big deal, you can find the two different light spears in a chest or fork over tons of Regnum to the Armor dude in the unnamed town to obtain them) I tried my best to focus on her path and the light that helps her. I would not consider her a chosen one. Cesta, her mom, has lived for a long time and has had many children. Any of them and Cesta have access to this quest. I hope I followed the theme well enough.

I buy my tilesets, animation, and audio from the Steam's dlc store or use Degica's defaults. My plugins are all by VisuStella. You can find VisuStella here on itch and they are amazing at pushing the limits of RPG Maker MZ, which is the engine I used. On tilesets I know I've used a lot of Winlu and KR, and KOMODO. KOMODO's audio was used for most of my sound if not defaults, same for the animations. I also buy from Gotcha Gotcha Games if I missed something. Main character art and the writing was done by myself. The two places I buy this stuff again is Steam dlc store or Visustella here on itch.

Also, I want to credit my husband for his QA work on this game, but I don't think he wants his name mentioned. Still, I thank him for his help seeing everything I miss from looking at this too long.

If I credited something incorrectly above please let me know, I'm still learning.

If you want to download the Windows Version: To launch the game unzip the download and click on Game right inside Project Light's folder.

There is one known issue, the game will crash if you talk to the boss in the cave inside the swamp area from above. There maybe more issues, so please let me know if you run into one.

I always welcome comments, questions, and constructive critique. Thanks for stopping by!

Fun game! I made a video getting through the first hour of the game

Oh my gosh, thank you! I really appreciate the feedback, and your video was super nice. I didn't get a chance to do a few things, and not only did I have little time to tune the combat, but I'm also still trying to figure out what is best, so thank you so much for all of your insights on my combat. Combat is the area I have the most trouble with right now.  Hopefully next time my grammar and timing will be a lot better too. Thank you so much for all your pointers, this means so much to me.

Congratulations on the result of the game jam! I hope you keep going forward with this project and other projects

Thanks!

great game!

Thank you!
