Majd 🏰 PARAGON STORY

Harvard GSE LDIT Ed.M. '27 Developing PARAGON STORY in RPG Maker MZ: Wishlist now on Steam! Creator of EXCALIBURIAN!!
A protagonist of humble beginnings. #SuperDevDay #ScreenshotSaturday
I'd be extremely impressed by anyone who could identify this reference.
This is actually a reference to a bug in the Japanese version of Dragon Quest IV. Casino prices are stored in a 24-bit value (the max is 16,777,215). Buying 838,861 coins at 20G each should cost 16,777,220G, but that overflows the counter: 16,777,220 − 16,777,216 = 4G
Why is it called PARAGON STORY? In my Dragon Quest-inspired game, instead of the legendary hero being bestowed the title of Roto or Erdrick, He is called the Paragon. If you played EXCALIBURIAN!!, the Paragon is very similar to Alexander, whose lore was inspired by Mirsa from Romancing SaGa.
Now begins the tale of a brave old RPG. Announcing PARAGON STORY: a passion project made by a Dragon Quest fanatic, featuring a job system, monster allies, a day-night cycle, marriage, and even a wagon. For your first quest, wishlist PARAGON STORY on Steam!
A fun fact: I might have been partially responsible for the port of the G-Mode remake. In 2020, G-Mode ran a campaign that allowed fans to submit games for consideration, and my pick was among those selected!
Do you recognize the Grape Slimes from my last game? Since they're so tasty, they can't help but eat themselves. If you somehow manage to defeat one before it's gone, you'll be awarded a heaping bounty of EXP. If you're exceptionally lucky, it might leave behind its heart!
Dragon Quest's wagon meets Final Fantasy's Mode-7-style airship.
Before you start your quest anew, pick your frame: black, green, or blue. #rpgmaker
For Screenshot Saturday, I'm revealing a new monster: Ailurion!! These red pandas are a must-have for your team, akin to Slime Knights in Dragon Quest V.

Happy Valentine's Day! I might not have mentioned this before, but my project features marriage. The protagonist chooses between his childhood friend, Alma, and the Princess of Granstiel, Marn (short for Marlina). Any resemblance to Dragon Quest V is purely coincidental.
A free graphic asset pack from RPG Maker 4 (PS1) will be released for this year's RPG Maker Festival!
I've updated PARAGON QUEST's itch page. Here are the main changes: ・Quick Turn! system ・Enmity management ・Main/sub jobs à la FFXI ・Monster recruitment replaced with monster hearts that can be equipped as accessories ・Party size decreased from 8 (4 in reserve) to 4 total
I took a hiatus from posting updates. Development is slowly but surely moving forward, and I’ll be sharing more soon. For now, here is the fishing village Pescarte, the protagonist's hometown. #screenshotsaturday
I'm creating Steam page assets for PARAGON QUEST. What are your thoughts on this as the main logo? While the pixel art characters provide a more accurate representation of the game, would hand-drawn characters instead be more catching to the eye?
EXCALIBURIAN!! has been selected as a featured title for #RPGMakerFestival2025 on Steam!
PARAGON QUEST's font is an authentic 8x8, which imposes some text character limits, but aesthetically, I am pleased with the result! My next goal is to sprite portraits for all party members, as the 16x16 character sprites seem a bit small within the status screen.
