Cliche Quest

Description
Crapsoft Studios Proudly Presents...Cliche Quest Episode 1!
A project 5 years in the making and now immutable proof that I can work on a deadline!

Only you can stop Dark Lord and his minions from finding the 5 Cliches of Power and taking over Cliche Land! Kill the bad guy, get the girl, save the world, you know the deal!

*Also available for non-RPG Maker owners at:
http://rpgmaker.net/games/5464/

*To load Workshop games either use Search and enter "Cliche Quest", check Program Files(x86)-Steam-steamapps-common-RPGVXAce-Projects or open RPG Maker, select File-Manage Projects and it should appear in the project list as a loadable/playable file.

*Check out the Cliche Quest Let's Plays by GameDawg!

*Don't forget to fave and rate if you enjoy Cliche Quest!

Features:
A hilarious world of RPG cliches including but not limited to:
Enemies that are slightly different colors!
Potions of Uselessness! Vendor Trash! A...herring!
Innkeepers who are *definitely* NOT vampires!
NPCs that say different things!
An Intro! ...that you can skip!
A fully working slot machine so Ralph can foster his gambling addiction!

The Ultimate Sidequest!
The most devious sidequest ever imagined! Help NPCs with banal quests that only you can complete!

A Clichiary with 50 unlockable Cliches that are uncovered as you play!

A quirky narrator and snide Save Crystal keep you company throughout your quest.

Also includes:
Custom "cute" pixel battlers, because I friggin' hate the VX Ace ones!
A fully mapped game world (no overworld)
No auto-generated dungeons! Yuck!
No unnecessary grinding, impossible puzzles or meta-gaming! But hey...if you wanna farm/grind...you can!
Unlock fast travel options as you progress through the game.
Save anywhere! Save points appear in the game as visual cues, giving healing and snarky advice but you can save at any time.

*Check the discussion tab for this project for Game Tips for Episode 1!

LOL Cliche Eternal!
I hear that! Indecision and art are my bane, if I had a one person that could sprite better than me, I would have published by now.

I started working on this game in 2001-ish. But, I'm just one person. Imagine if I had the 3D Realms development team that worked on Duke Nukem Forever. Cliche Quest Forever. :P

You know, I get that, but you're still here. You can finish, when you do, I will partake.

Will you be updating this soon?
BossGalaga  [author] 20 Jun @ 12:03pm 
@Diamondback: Parody games were already a thing in the 80s/90s. Still, it might have been slightly novel if I had finished it in a timely manner, but since then there have been so many parody RPGs published on Steam that it's a cliche of a cliche.
Diamondback 18 Jun @ 1:58pm 
LMAO I am hating you so much right now!
I came up with almost the exact same conept... LMAO
Bravo for getting to it first!
