MOTH
A downloadable game for Windows
The moth king went mad and left his own kingdom to rot. Now, the once great land of the Moth is a ruin left for you to explore.
This rpg maker game takes some gimmick of the metroidvania genre - exploration of an interconnected world and the use of some capacities scattered in the world needed to progress - in a 2d-platformer style inspired by game like LISA, OFF or Orompaquenga.
My plans for this game are more "modest" than my other - mostly unfinished, lol - projects. I'll try to make it from the beginning to the end fast and then add more optional contents whenever I feel like it.
For now, the available demo let you explore four areas and fight four bosses.
The game is finished and contained multiple bosses, characters and two endings for you to choose.
I hope you will enjoy the game, I really like working on it right now, hope this will stay like this for a while !

I haven't finished the game yet and I'll most likely edit this when I have but it is actually quite a relaxing game with a chill vibe despite the content of the story and the more dark sections and atmospheres present. I've enjoyed it so far!
With that said, I did encounter a bug with The Biggest Tomb wherein you could not continue through the gate after feeding it the fish or the houses there either... It's a shame since it seemed something to do with the widow/witch was being built up...
Edit: There's another bug wherein you can get an unlimited supply of Beacon's Bowl. I'm not sure how I triggered it but I was allowed to continually make them towards the end of the game. You can also lose shells if you use them to upgrade a weapon but have no weapon equipped. The upgrade should be cancelled if no weapon is equipped.
All in all though, quite a relaxed game that I enjoyed playing. There's enough to the world lore wise to make one curious to explore it and I could definitely see it being expanded upon. The only criticism I have is that a running feature would've been nice.
I got the succession ending, but I couldn’t figure out how to use the white pearl
Yeah, you actually don't have to use the white pearl. Now that you have it, you can go back to where you fought the moth king, this is where it has an effect automatically. I'll probably change the item's description to make it more clear
i downloaded this first demo and i really really enjoyed it! i haven't finished it, pretty sure, but i really like the pixel art and the vibes this game has already
it's not particularly difficult, but certainly tense and challenging
i'd love to see you finish it eventually, it's looking great
Thanks for the comment, it means a lot !
Yeah, the game will probably be really hard, because I'm not that good myself at RPG lmao, but it will get harder in the other areas I think.
I've been working on it almost everyday for a week and a half now, I hope to keep it going at that speed to propose a new demo soon !
nice! :3c
