I haven't posted anything for awhile now, and don't expect that will change any time soon. I did just post the 'Chapter 3 Script'. I just have a hard time working on something when I don't feel like it... And that is why I'm planning out the whole project first.
I've been playing around with RPG Maker VX a little more (It has been released in English!) and it definitely has it's good sides. Recently I opened RPG Maker XP to mess with the events, and after toying with VX, I didn't want to touch the XP event system. It's many of the same commands, and similar options, but VX is just cleaner and feels easier to use.
Anyway, back on the main topic, Chapter 0-3 complete what I call the "Introduction" part of the game. I've divided the game into 4 parts; Introduction, Item Hunt, Get the Villain, Ending.
Item Hunt is the meat of the game, gathering items, building up your charter, subplots and side quests. Get the Villain is that final part of the game where you get the villain (!). And the Ending is of course the final say.
So what I may do, before I press onward, is polish up the Introduction portion, as I fear I may already have created some loop holes in the story. I even have the bare bones of the ending planed out. The challenge will be to make sure I add enough stuff to the item collecting that you think it's fun.

Chapter 3 Script
Here it is, chapter 3! This script isn't as detailed as the others, I think it would be difficult to handle this one that way. This part of the game is really about reclaiming Luke's memories. Most of the scenes will be flash backs. The people introduced will only serve the purpose of exploring Luke and what he is about. Enjoy, if possible. ;)
CHAPTER THREE -
The past was just the present only yesterday.

Water Tower
--"We talked here."
--"We'd always be friends."

Baker's Inn
--"Brought in all sorts of heroes."
--"The place to hear stories."
Blacksmith's Shop
--"Taught me allot about weapons."
--"Talked allot about equipment."
--"We worked on some things together."
Her House
--"This is where she lived."
--"We ate together."
--"We talked in her room."
--"Her mother was kind, she raised her."
Candy Shop
--"I spent all my money here."
--"Nice owner, kind lady."
--"Fresh baked goods on occasion."
Someone's House
--"I've never been in here before."
--"I don't know anything about this place"
--*There should be some items to find in here, and ONLY during the flash back!
Home
--*You must gather the other "Memory Fragments" before entering here.
--"This was my home"
--*Luke has 2 pasts, I intend to confuse the player here, showing 2 separate memories.
--"My mother cooked for us. // My Father cooked for us."
--"This was my room."
--"Mom did this. // Dad did that."
--*After fully exploring the house, Luke acquires the last "Memory Fragment".
Once the player has all "Memory Fragments" Luke will remember where the gift is.
Luke must then return home.
LOCATION: Luke's Home, Torou
WHO: Luke(L), Luke's Father(F), Luke's Grandfather(G)
Luke enters his home to find both his father and his grandfather waiting for him.
G: How did you do.
L: I remember grandfather.
G: Good.
F: Good? How can this be good, now my only son has to leave to try to save the world!
G: You shut up.
L: ...
L: I brought the package.
G: Well?
G: Open it!
Luke opens the package and receives his starting equipment. Legendary Sword, Legendary Armor, Legendary Boots, etc.. Also inside is a "Green Tunic", but it won't fit Luke, it's too small.
L: I still have some memory issues Grandpa, I kept remembering Mom.
G: You've had 2 pasts Luke. You see, you've already defeated the Black Wizard.
G: But then he went back in time and tried to destroy you. So you had a life with your mother, and a life without.
G: And that's how I know that she's the only good thing that ever happened to my son.
F: That's kinda harsh old man.
G: Look who's talking, besides, I told you to shut up!
G: ...
G: So this time, you make sure he doesn't get another chance.
L: Alright.
L: So what do I do again?
G: You must seek out the Wizards, only their knowledge can help you now.
Luke get together the last of his things, says goodbye, and sets off.
