Rise of The Bard
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
The classic rpg feel in a more dystopian chaotic world. The classic trope of a hero coming to the aide of a land tormented by an evil ruler expect with more *flare*. A chaotic game full of memery, its as if the band kid from high school had his own personal fantasy.
Created in Rpg Maker

Thank you to everyone that has made this project possible, it's been fun expanding the limits of what I thought was ever possible.
I couldn't done it without the help of my friends and all of the wonderful resources I found
along the way!- James
Special acknowledgments to:
-Dr. David Servias, Thank you for being one of the best music professors we could've ever had and I'm glad you were able to hold such a big role in the game's story.

When I click the game icon, I get a "file not found" error, which I think might be a chrome extension but I'm not sure. I'm on a Mac.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
So sorry to hear thsi!
What might fix it is right-clicking on the application then
System preferences >
Security & Privacy >
Allow outside applications.
If that doesn't work then let me know!
In the forest, sometimes after a battle, it gives me the error, "Failed to load: img/weapons/JasonWiser_BassoonBlaster.png" I hit Retry, and it gives me a Now loading screen that loops back to the same error, effectively soft locking the game. Good game so far, I just want to get the ant legs.
Edit: If I had to guess the issue isn't isolated to the forest, but having Amber in the party causes it.
Just fixed it, the image files got left out when it was compressing.
Beautiful, I'll let you know if I encounter any more bugs. The music is phenomenal so far, and I'm interested to see where the story goes.
