Zilif Web
A downloadable game for Windows
A web of intrigue surrounds Zilif prefecture. News of the prince who's fourth in line for the throne of the Dimel Empire spreads quickly. The Dark Sun bandits make a raid upon their outpost, Ferdil, just north of Bisha Palace, where he would take residence. However, opportunists within the Dark Sun see an opening to remove a bounty hunter and newcomer to their order. All the while, there is a subfaction within the Sisters of Hope that is looking to carve out their own piece of the pie.
Combining varying systems from Might & Magic, Suikoden and Wild Arms, Zilif Web aims to bring a political drama to you!

(I'm not sure if i'm givin little spoilers to anyone but wanted to comment this game. So don't read this if you don't like that... i'm a bit tired of intentionally dense people in internet now.)
I liked the introduction! It's a way to start the story that I usually enjoy in rpg games. When I arrived at the village, I started exploring the surroundings and had a great time. I liked the characters Nari, Jodelle, and Natalie. I'm not sure why, but they were available for the party, so I thought, why not try them out? I really liked Nari's spells and the introduction of the other two characters while I was fighting a Dark Knight (if I'm not mistaken) in a goblin cave. I'd love to see how the lore/plot of this game unfolds. It reminds me a bit of the world of Mad Max, or the early Fallout games worlds mixed with classic fantasy.
Of course I know this is a demo but I liked that you can get the idea of the game while playing. The bgm music is not my personal style but i was having fun killing random monsters anyway and i liked that in different zones there was different kind of monsters while playing that make sense and not just random enemies.
I'd like to keep playing this and more updates in the future :)
Thanks for giving the demo a go!
Speaking of Fallout and Mad Max, I did consider a post-apocalyptic setting, but, wasn’t sure if I could pull it off.
Small update to the description that gives a bit more context to the game’s title. I may have been somewhat inspired by Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening in this regard.
ECN (Encounter?) Meter made me think of that, yes! ... Not sure how the names inspired you though.
"A web of intrigue surrounds Zilif prefecture." mmm.
Fourth in line being relevant? Rare!
forth > fourth
Kinda sounds like you might’ve figured it out, but…
Versus
That aside, ECN, and it’s related interface, is pretty much a direct influence from Wild Arms 3‘s encounter cancel system. I’ve this display/system in maybe two previous Ace games, but, this would make it the first occurrence in an MZ game for me.
*EDIT: Thanks for the spelling correction as well.
No prob! I'm not sure whether you didn't Reply right, so I didn't get the message... Good thing I checked manually!
Ah, I thought the connection would be more longer. Cool title though!
Looking at the pictures again... Nepholite? Is that a reference to this? It's the only thing I found online...

Another misspelling. The word I was looking for was “neophyte”, meaning beginner/novice. I largely presume the plural form would be “neophytes”? Maybe I just name that Unite “Neophyte”?
Regardless, putting that on the stack to change/update!
Ah. Note that Dictionary.com's example sentences lower on the page does confirm plural as "neophytes"!
May there be less typos in your future!
Whoa! Very nice! :) Can't wait to check it out, looks good dev!
Ooh, new Marrend game! Oh, not downloadable yet?
Intriguing meter! Ooh, Systems!
It wouldn’t be a proper “Marrend game” without systems!
