Ruined

A silly RPG with a weird and funny story.

Follow our development in https://rg-games-official.itch.io/ruined

PD: This game was once called Maurice Quest Reborn. Now, the game has turned into another thing. The game’s devlog before the remodelation won’t be deleted. But, i already talked about this topic in another post here.

What is Ruined?
Ruined is a RPG with a modern setting in wich you’ll visit an alternative version of the earth, where magic is a normal day-to-day thing and ridiculous stuff happens to the people.

Spoiler free synopsis
Max, a normal guy from Palmer city is out of burguers and heads on a mission to buy more. But, it all goes wrong and he ends up travelling trought the world to find the leader of a worldwhide mafious group that meneaces with putting the world’s economy at risk.

Characters

%{font-s
He’s your normal day-to-day dude with magic powers. He has two PhDs and has a normal life on the enormous city of Palmer. Wich is the capital of the U.S.A in this universe.

Bob

Currently a worldwhide “Criminal” that did nothing bad. He lives in Tumbapiedra, Mexico. He’s part of a small group of mutants called the soulkills. The soulkills will come back to life if the wounds in their bodies are not that bad.

Kad

He’s a hyperactive policeman from Снежная деревня, Rusia that comes across the rest of the group while looking for Bob.
I don’t wanna spoil too much of him.

Black

Black is part of the royal guard of New Abrahama, India. He’s actually south American, but lives there.

Features

• A storyline where you play as the different characters until they meet like in mother 2. (it will have small segments like the one with Poo)
• A simple turn based battle system.
  *Ridiculous boss fights, like the manager of a mall or a mad PE professor that was turned into a supersoldier.
• The player would be able to visit the various parts of the world (a city in most of the relevant countries to the story)
  
  Content
  The game ocurrs in the world that we talked about before. The capitals of the countries you visit are completly new. You will fight only humanoid enemies, no rats, bats, etc.

Screenshots

Instead of making screenshots without context, I’ve made a video of spoiler free gameplay that shows the entirety of Palmer City, the hotel mechanics, fights, Etc. Mainly what you can find on screenshots.

Heya!
I don’t think i will make updates as much as in my other game, Mother S.H.A.R.K, but i will update when i have something.

Well, i will list the advancements on here:

1. I’ve created 13 songs for the game, and i will upload the songs so you can listen to them.
Two of those songs will not be used in the final game, but i will remake them again or something
if i find a place for them.
(Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/maurice-raptor/sets/maurice-quest-reborn-alpha-1-1)

2. I advanced with the game’s storyline a litttle bit ( A little bit means a new overworld and starting the
scene of obtaining the fourth character)

Here i want to say something, You obtain the full party very soon, because the story is like that xD.

3. I fixed all of the bugs on the prototype. It includes graphical bugs, colission bugs, proggraming bugs, etc.

Well, that’s all! See ya later!

And again, all the huses of the game are accesible and i wanted to say something else:
The game has TOO much exploration.
For example, you can find weapons and apples in the snow, water guns on the leaves, you can enter secret dungeons in different places and in different ways.

Also, we now have a discord server :v
https://discord.gg/CMEA8e

Because the other game won’t work because no character had an introduction. So i decided to make this game taht will introduce all of the characters that will appear in other games, and then, i’ll continue this game, and actually, it will have the opportunity to include cameos, references that the new players would understand, etc. Because all of the characters will be introduced here. Also, new players won’t understand most of the references in Maurice Quest Reborn, because they came from another game i WON’T publish here. So, if i create this game first, the other games will gain quality opn storytelling, and also, the characters can grow more presonality because they have appeared in other gam,es, i guess.
Actually, the form of working i have (and it weirdly works for me) is to design a game, make a prototype and, if i have a better idea, i pause this, and then start the next one, and finally, the final game i publish, is better than the others, because it includes some ideas from the other games i have designed. And finally, i am very young in age, and i create games as a hobby so i have more experience for the moment i have to work. (I wanna be a game designer, not a proggramer) and i publish my games because i like to show my works. I hope i cleared some questions now xd.

Heya!
The game is going under renovations, so the demo is not avalible anymore.
The renovations are on the storyline so it is more enjoyable. The characters, battle system, etc. will be the same, but it will be a little more earthbouind-esque. I mean, the maps will be different, so you can stay on them more time than one minute. It will be better. Stuff from the original story will be kept, for example the plan of the villain, the objective, the ending, the way that the characters meet, some maps will be very similat, etc.

Here’s the video:

There will be a new video soon…

Heya people!
I have something to say:
First, the game is doing a great advancement.
Mother SHARK is very crappy compared to this, but i wanted to say that if someone is intrested in helping, you can PM me.
I am currently in need for a musician. I know hhowwow to play the piano, but still, I don’t currently know how to compose. And working with my 90’s piano to record is a little bit hard xd. But, i can also include more members in other stuff like graphics, storytelling, dialogues, events, etc. If somebody is intrested, PM me. Thanks ya’ll

Heya!
Finally, I’ve finished Chapter 1.

Also, I’ve tried to publish it on android, but I couldn’t get it to work :’(

Anyways, the game is 20 – 36 mins long if the player just makes the obligatory stuff, and most of the battles, wich is the way i tested it.

So, I hope you enjoy this, and I ’d love some feedback :)

Have a good day / night!

PD: I’M STILL LOOKING FOR STAFF IS SOMEONE IS AVALIBLE!

Finally ,I fixed all of the bugs that surged when optimizng the game.

Also, the quality of the songs is not the one on the video, thay sound better on the game, is just that I had to convert them form .ogg to .mp3 and that lowered the quality.

Heya!
Happy (late again) New Year!
I’ve recorded the tutorial for combos in ruined.
This combos can be done on chapter 1, so, there you have an advantage while farming xd.

I am currently uploading the 1.1.1 update for chapter II.
It includes new enemies, bug fixes, new enemy dorps, etc.

Heya, just wanted to say that the game is going trought a HUGE rebranding. Mostly everything will change, so it’s better.
Everything you’ll need to know it’s on the first post, so if you can, look at it.

TOPIC BUMP REASON: Basically, I couldn’t post anything because I didn’t have anything to show. But, in the main page, I’ve posted everything that I can about the new version of this game. And instead of just listing everything here, I just wanted to tell y’all that The stuff it’s there. But if it’s needed, I’ll list the new stuff in a new post.

Little update.

We’re preparing the second boss area (Palmer’s airport)
Here are some screenshots from the surrounding area.

Country roads, a little town where you can buy goodies for the dungeon.

The airports will be a recurrent place. Since you’ll be able to return to every part of the world.

Drivin’ around!

Here’s Brian’s work on the saving machine!

Heya, I’m almost finished with ciudad Tumbapiedra (a very specific spanish reference to pokemon). The name of the cities will be translated into the lenguage spoken on the country its located in.

What I have left to do is on the next video if you’re curious:

https://youtu.be/2op46mX34qM

Good luck on your stuff!

Thanks a lot!
It’s awesome to know that others like what I make!

Heya!
Remember how yesterday I said that we’re working in graphics?
Well, we’re doing it slowly but surely.

Might change the Burguer Shop later.
Also If you want to see the differences, the original graphics are in the video at the first post.

EDIT: Also, I’m trying to make them better, but not to exagerate.

Final update for today (since i’m going to sleep)

I think the only thing left are the shops at the mall and a tileset page that Brian worked on.
Those tiles are not inserted yet because we have ti meet up at discord so he can send them to me and then I put them un the game.
