Paradise Blue

I actually did not expect RMN to come back, but here we go! So, a number of things have happened in the time span since the site went down...

I have a twitch channel now! Send a follow if you'd like, I am a silly Red Mage who plays old school RPGs, and occasionally Sonic games or Mario Kart.

Now, I missed the 15th anniversary of Paradise Blue which was on July 29th of 2024, which is wild to me. To be slightly fair, I think this site was down by then, i don't recall, but also it has been a busy few years. I've grown incredibly olde, I remember having just graduated university once Paradise Blue was released, and now I'm an old, old person, who is wondering if I need to start looking into senior homes

So, I wrote this on my previous 10 year anniversary:
Either I could make Paradise Blue and change up stuff in the 2k3 version and then make an updated version or a sequel in VX Ace or MV. Paradise Blue is not a small game and I wouldn't want to keep it 100% the same so it would take a while to make. I figured I could focus on Cast Ashore first, then Fragments of Mind and then Paradise Blue, but it is definitely something I still want to make!
And I have to say, I ended up pausing Cast ashore, pausing Fragments of Mind, and deciding to go full speed ahead on RM2k3 version of Paradise Blue. I will say though, I *think* this might be the last project I use RM2k3 for, because it is so restrictive I keep fighting the engine working on stuff.

There's a number of changes I made, so first things first: I'm going to keep original Paradise Blue around. The new Paradise Blue once it's properly out I think will have its own game page. I want to finish by this year, so please wish me luck!

Updates: There are still 15 classes, which have been altered a bit. Blue Mages are now Alchemists, but the way they learn spells is exactly the same. There are name changes for things like that, but other classes like the Thief class has been renamed to Rogue and have a new skillset called Tools. Some other classes like the Monk have also gotten a new skillset.

The graphics are all updated, and I'm updating quests and the story/characters a bit as well. I hope it turns out well!
