I'm proud to announce the first build of Rising Star's Gambit is finally out!

This game is my entry for the 30 Day RPG Maker RTP Game Jam and let me tell you, I am SO excited to finally be putting an RPG Maker game out into the world after spending more than half my life playing with it. I put my very best into making RSG with as much quality content as possible in this little time. It was not easy, but I'm really glad I was able to complete it! I really, really hope you enjoy it!

The game is available to play on browser (not mobile friendly) and Windows (.exe). No other platforms as I have no way of testing on them. (Let me know if you're interested, we can figure something out!) Have fun and PLEASE report bugs cause you are NOT GOING TO BELIEVE how many bugs popped up on the last day of the jam. I am not going insane, you are.

Now, if you came here because of the warning in the main page, let's get into the boring tech stuff I need to warn you about:

Known Issues

• The browser version may have issues that I personally haven't experienced yet. So, just to be safe, make sure to report to me anything that could be an issue! Please!
• As a temporary fix to some incompatibilities, the title screen and a few other windows look a bit different in the browser version. I will probably figure this out eventually, but I couldn't run the risk of missing the deadline so try to ignore it.
• You may experience issues with actors vanishing between the two fights in the quest "Prove Thyself". This is not game breaking as it comes back to normal eventually, but it IS super weird and I have no idea what's causing it as my brain has become juice about a week ago.
• Be wary of Client Quests, okay? If anything feels off about them, please let me know as they weren't tested as much as I wish they were.
• The browser version is generally more laggy than the .exe one. It's nothing major, but you'll notice a bit of delay on loading audio, for example.

I will keep updating this version for a while in an attempt to fix all of these and any other bugs that pop up, so report anything you need to me. And typos, too! We all know there's probably a few of them. It'll help out a lot! If you were only here for the warning, that's pretty much it, by the way. Feel free to enjoy the game or keep reading for a little more info.

Jam Version? Huh?

Yeah, you read that right! When I first started working on this, my mind ran wild with ideas. But somewhere down the line I realized "Huh, it's humanly impossible to do all this in 30 days!"

So I made a compromise. Consider this a "finished game" as much as it can be for the jam, but I do plan on adding more content eventually. No promises, though! Don't wanna let anyone down. But if you do end up enjoying the first week, please stick around! I promise it's a nice place to be in. We got cake and soda. Or juice, if you prefer.

That's it for this devlog. Now go on, have fun with the Rising Star Guild! Have a great day and stay safe.
