Version 0.9.x
Wildsilver is the fifth JRPG created by Great Potion Games. This is version 0.9.x of the game. It contains the complete story, all skills, items, equipment, enemies, locations et cetera.
It's a full gaming experience, but there will be regular patches with improvements.
Version 1.0.0 will be released once I feel like development is practically done and there are no 'should-dos' anymore. A piece of art is never finished, only abandoned, but this will be the point where I don't make changes proactively anymore (while still reacting to feedback).
Story
Velven, the female protagonist living in a forest near a village, is on a mission to save her sister Soire who has been poisoned by a Basilisk. In order to brew the Elixir, which is the only cure, she needs the Basilisk’s heart. On her way, she meets a little robot with a hammer and a brave knight from the capital who offer their help. Together, they venture into the lair of the fierce dragon.
From that point on, the story takes a few turns to gradually turn into a plot that is ‘god-slayingly epic as expected from a game of this genre’, in the words of the developer. Velven will actually get to see the capital herself, find out what ancient secrets it hides and, through courage, skill and, to be fair, some lucky circumstances, save the world from destruction.
Gameplay
Explore environments, find chests, fight monsters, get stronger, learn skills, buy items, customise equipment, solve puzzles, talk to people, break urns. In that order if played as designed.
