itch.io

Hey there! Nope, I just never uploaded the newest version here because I didn't think people cared :) It's up to date now with the brand new "final" version released today.

Full version!

Sorry to necropost, I haven't been back on itch.io in forever. I didn't include any anti-cheat methods in Forever Home, so I'm not sure why you'd be unable to load the game after making changes. I used RPGMaker VX Ace, so maybe if you're using a different editor it's corrupting the files.

Thank you so much for this write-up! I appreciate all of your kind words and am glad you had a great time! :D

Hey everybody,

I've had my game up here for a while but have never really posted. There have been lots of discussions over on the Steam message boards here so feel free to join in there or post questions/topics here on itch. I'll do my best to answer anything or give feedback.

It was a huge 13 year development cycle to finish this project and it took nearly everything out of me. I put every bit of my passion into its completion, taking much of what I've learned from the huge library of RPGs I've played over the years. I always love hearing feedback (good or bad), answering questions, and doing my best to update or balance things. Don't hesitate to drop a message with whatever random thoughts pop into your head.

Happy playing! ^_^

Throughout our lives the moments we share with others paint bold strokes across our canvas of memories. They define our personality, our existence, and shape our futures. Our greatest desire is to find that moment, that perfect instance, we wish to relive forever. That moment, no matter where you are or what you're feeling, is home.
After a series of tragic events, our hero Xero and his best friends are thrown from their homes into the middle of a war between nations. A general on one side of the conflict obtains an incredible power and then goes rogue, threatening humanity's very existence. The future of the planet is in danger and the only way to save it may involve killing your best friend.

Forever Home is a retro RPG that takes inspiration from SNES and PS1 classics. The battle system is influenced from Squaresoft style action turn-based systems such as Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger. It uses a skill learning system similar to Grandia II and the Final Fantasy VII Materia system. Forever Home includes item and weapon crafting, monster catching, a rank based Colosseum, and numerous side quests.
The 30+ hour character driven narrative contains a deeply emotional and adult-oriented story mixing tragedy and heartache with overcoming personal adversities and lighthearted humor. The theme focuses on the meaning of survival and finding a place you can call home. A powerful original soundtrack mixing classical instruments with alternative drums and guitar helps push the mood.

Key Features:
- 30+ hour main story
- 30+ hour sidequests- Weapon / Armor / Item crafting
- Turn-based combat with a modern take on action-time systems
- Challenging boss battles requiring well-thought-out strategies
- Retro style world map with ship and airship travel
- Powerful original soundtrack

Cons:
- You might cry a lot
