Heroes of Cydonia

Heroes of Cydonia
Said to be released in June 2009, Heroes of Cydonia was the first to be made in the
Cydonian Series. Made with RPG Maker VX, the creator Nathan Jenkins (Sometimes known as Ripley)
wanted The Aviary Chronicales to be made first but due to several writing problems he decided
to create Heroes of Cydonia first.
Gameplay
The game offers several hours of gameplay, depending on the players knowledge of the
layout of the game maps, quests, ect.
With a turn-based battle system, Heroes of Cydonia is one of three games to have this
kind of battle system installed, the rest either have a Action Battle System or a
Side-View Battle System.
While other 2D RPG's only have the four-direction movement, the characters in this
game can move in 8 directions which opens up to further map possibilities.
Plot
It is several years before the Aviary Chronicales takes place (1800's), Cydonia is a large, peacefull forest city with many citizens. Roy has a nightmare about the Master being captured and held in a prison, Master is soon visited by Lord Kreator, a evil man who is posing as the once great, Lord Cydonia. After Roy
awakens from his sleep, he goes downstairs to find his friend waiting for him. It seems the Duke has requested a audience with Roy and wishes to see him
immediately, Roy attempts to travel to the Castle to see the Duke but it seems the bridges of Cydonia have been broken, so Roy has to fix them.
Once the bridges are all fixed, Roy travels to the Castle to see the Duke. When he arrives, the Duke tells Roy that his friends Aisha, Tilly and Taii have been captured along with most of the rebellious Fighters. Roy remembers his dream and asks about Master, the Duke seems very saddened at Roy's question and tells him that Master was seen travelling to Aviary when he was attacked, he seemed okay until a spy charged him, knocked him off his horse and they both rolled off a cliff.
Roy is enraged at the death of his Master and vows to free his Fighters and find his friends. The Duke has heard that Roy's friends are being held at a old temple near Farlong. Roy travels there to find that the "old temple" is in fact a temple built around a large portal! Realising that the Duke has betrayed Roy, he tries to free his friends but Lord Kreator soon surprises Roy, while Roy was knocked down, Lord Kreator tosses Roy's friends into the portal and jumps in himself. Roy only has enough time to jump into the portal before it closes, trapping them all.
Roy awakens by a Hunter, it seems that Roy had appeared out of thin air and landed near the Hunters camp. Roy asks the Hunter where he is and is soon told the Roy is in the 1500's, 300 years in the past. Roy travels to Cydonia (now a small town) and finds the old Heroes of Cydonia, a group of people who were said to have saved Cydonia from a pending invasion. Roy is tossed in the middle of a huge war between Imperials (knights, guards ect.) and Cydonians (barbarians, peasants, rebels ect.) and must find his friends to try and get back to the 1800's.
Development
Heroes of Cydonia is made with RPG Maker VX, the creator hopes to have it released by June 2009 although the date may be pushed
back due to creation troubles. The creator hopes to have the entire Cydonian series completed by early 2011.
Reception
The creator doesn't think the game will gain a large audience but hopes that after releasing the sequels the series may
pick up some momentum.
