Rivers of Time Overview
|
Rivers of Time is based on a surreal drawing that I did in Grade 10 art class. The world
consists of layer upon layer of floating islands, with rivers flowing between them.
Rivers of Time features some of my original music as well as some of the default RPGMaker2000
music.
Special thanks go to Brian Huisman for creating the item/weapon/armor lists, as well as for
proofreading and editing the dialogue.

Three Paths
|
Another unique thing about this game is that it has 3 storylines. The order in which you do
certain "tasks" near the beginning of the game determines which of the 3 paths you follow.
These paths are as follows:
The Path of the Adventurer
This path is the easiest to find and follow. The storyline focuses on
strength, courage, and friendship, much like the typical RPG. Although there is
a moderate mix of puzzles and decisions, the focus is on defeating your enemies
in battle.
The Path of the Judge
This path is somewhat difficult to find, and moderately hard to follow.
The storyline focuses on issues of morality and decision. To find this path,
you must follow your priorities rather than your impulses. To survive, you must
make many choices, but have adequate physical force in case your bad decisions
catch up with you!
The Path of the Mind
This path is the hardest to find. Many puzzles seek to bar your way to finding
this path. Beware, a single mistake could crush your chances of reaching it.
The storyline focuses on puzzles, riddles, and creative thought. Though you still
must ward off your enemies with physical strength, you must also use your brain
to survive certain obstacles.
