@shaz: So is Amanda working on all of them in some capacity, or are only some of them from her and others are just from other Amaranth Games team members? Just curious.

I'm super excited that we're getting apparently three new RPGs, at least one of which is not set in the Aveyond universe. I love Aveyond, of course, but it'll be great to see something fresh.

Hmmm ... I need to clarify. Aveyond and Edolie are the games I know very little about. Obviously, Amanda is making Aveyond, and it's already been stated elsewhere that Edolie is being made by Eridani.

I am working on the other two games, so I know plenty about them

I think it's safe to say there are three new RPGs coming, one will be in the Aveyond universe, and the other two will not (I am working on the assumption that Edolie is not - I might be wrong).

It's definitely not, shaz. Edolie is the name of the world in which the game is set. Aveyond is set in the world of Aia. Unless the Goddess plans to be mischievous, that is

Edolie is indeed a RPG from a brand new world and universe

I wonder how the guilds will feel to get a game to match their guilds. This seems like a rare treat.

Omg that's just a joke.

Still, joke no joke it's happening!

You're assuming it's happening. Nobody has confirmed that, and it's unlikely anyone will - if it turns out that way, it will be completely unintentional.

Well. This is the first time I have seen 4 games being in progress at once!

That's true, and we're just as excited about that as you are However, the only conclusion you can draw from that is that we have enough stories, and enough developers, to make it happen ... nothing more. I am confirming Aisling's comment - we are not making games for the individual guilds (sorry guilds).

Besides we have 5 guilds, not 4 And it wouldn't be very nice of us to create a game each for 3 guilds, and make the other 2 share a game.

Especially if it might lead to an all-out civil (cookie) war

Ugh! *shudders at recollection of the great cookie war of '10*

Well what can we wait for? I bet some of these are like Aveyond.

Aveyond, Edolie and The Dragons Among Us are all RPGs, made with either RMXP, RMVX or RMVX Ace. I don't know how much further the similarities will go than that.

I know AV will be made with XP. It's the other two that are mysteries.

The Dragons Among Us (which I'll call DAU for short) will likely use XP. Edolie will probably use XP as well, especially if that's the maker used for Eridani's previous games.

Good observation Shaz! That may narrow down some clues to figuring out the system (if it doesn't use add on scripts to change menu experience).

I don't really understand your logic, or your concern with what maker it is, and whether there are any scripts that alter the menus.

Since we are looking for engines that will allow us to make games for other platforms, it's entirely possible that NONE of these games will use RPG Maker at all. I just said maybe they'll use XP since both developers have used XP for previous games.

I'd be more interested in hearing about the story and the characters in the game, than in the engine used to make it, to be honest

Um remember the Multi Platform gamemaker (XP adapted to more than PC). That's still a possible candidate.

Back on topic. I wonder if any dragons will do something stupid like a belching contest (seen in MLP:FiM Dragon Quest). If so... I am going to laugh like a hyena!

lol! The dragons in this game are a little more ... "regal" than that. However, who knows what they do in the privacy of their own caves?
