Title: The Chairman's Quest - completed game
Post by: RWildcat on May 23, 2006, 02:44:58 AM

The Chairman's Quest
a 100% complete project using RM2k3
Short preview video clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1AQtmW-4lc)


Brief Story Intro:   A politically ambitious young man makes the decision to run for a seat on the governing commission of his home region, also pursuading some friends to make the run as well.  Victorious in their election pursuit, they also sweep their political party into power.  This young man's friends banded together and elected him the Chairman of the Commission, the most powerful office of the region, passing over the senior member of his party who was expected to become chairman in the event her party took power.  This event proved, for some strange reason, to be unacceptable to a powerful member of another region's government.  This individual began plotting immediately to have the new Chairman thrown out of office.

Some time later, the Chairman got intelligence information suggesting that a powerful member of another government was entering his region's territory unannounced and was paying no official visit to the capital.  Sensing a threat to security, the Chairman secretly appoints 4 special investigators to look into what this person is up to.  As they will learn, it is far more than just unannounced visits...tracking her to a small town in the region, they find the mayor being threatened by this foreign official.  After the mayor refuses to given in to the official's demands, fiends appear and attack the town.  The investigators save the mayor and the town from certain doom (they just happened to be there at precisely the right time...imagine that) and then rush back to the region's capital to report this incident to the Chairman, only to find more problems on their way back...(and the story's complexity climbs from there as more of this plot is uncovered).

Additional info:

25 dungeons
4 main playable characters; 13 playable characters in all
30 towns
10+ hours of gameplay
WWF "hide-in-seek" game (highly recommend you finish this before going to final dungeon - item won is very helpful - if you get to this point and need hints just let me know...)
Other minigames and sideshows

If you are looking for a completed game with good grammar, dialog, and a decent story, you will probably like this.  If you are looking for a game with award-winning mapping...I'll be honest, that's not what this game has...but download it and give it a chance, play it awhile and let yourself get into the story and I think you'll have fun.  If you don't like it you can always delete it later.


Alternate Text Box:



If you prefer that text box (or need a version of this game that contains the full RTP) to the one shown in the other screen shots, click on of the links below:

Smaller download version available

If you have a slower internet connection, or the above links are simply too large for you, I have gone through the game and removed some of the extras, as well as replaced a number of mp3s with midis to cut the file size in half for the download.  You will miss out on none of the story should you choose to download this smaller version - just some of the extra features have been reduced and music changed in some places.  This download also uses the main textbox with the green background and silver border.  If you wish to download this smaller download version of the game, use the link below:

I have added some mirrors for the download - including one from zshare.net, which seems to be more reliable than the others.  Sorry if you attempted to download and had trouble.  Between those three, hopefully one will work.

 This is a really good game so far, I am looking for the salt right now, and so far I have been entertained.

Thanks very much for the compliment!  Let me know if you need any hints...the game will get more complicated later on.

The maps are really good, for if I could map that good, I would be so happy.

I don;t know how it's not your strong point...

i think your game sounds great im downloading it now

Yeah, some of your maps are a bit too empty. Basically, they're too empty, you have one solid tile as the gound. You want to vary it up a bit, for example, in the town, you have the whole ground the same type of grass, try adding some longer grass or vegitation somewhere, if the chipset has some dirt, ligher or darker grass, or some other type of ground tile, try to build that into the map.

This game sounds pretty interesting though, but I can't download it for a little while cuz I don't have enough time on my dial up right now  :(

Gah, that pink border to the text box is killer! I refuse to download it because I can do without the headache it's sure to cause. I mean, I'm irritated just by looking at it for a few seconds, and reading everything that runs past will kill me! Or make me go blind... I'll consider a download if you are willing to change the pink pain.

If I uploaded a version with that color text box would that be okay?  If so, I will do that and post the link.

I'll take that as a yes.   :)   I was just asking to make sure that one wasn't also annoying.

I'll get right on it and post the link.

 Download Link - half the size (http://www.zshare.net/download/chairmansquestsmall-zip.html)

This is an alternate version of the game for those of you with slower internet connections that cannot download the full version.  You will miss out on none of the story with this version - but some extras and music have been changed to reduce the file size, though the overall game remains fully intact.
