Dragon Hearts: A Daughter's Promise
A downloadable game for Windows
Synopsis
Set on the floating islands that make up Aethera, Dragon Hearts: A Daughter's Promise is an RPG in which you take control of Isacaiah, a young girl who promised her parents to seal an ancient, mystical crystal. Unfortunately, the crystal was stolen, so she has to venture out and retrieve it first. She will give it her all to get that crystal back and fulfill her duty. It was a promise, after all...
Dragon Hearts: A Daughter's Promise is a short (1-2 hours) rpg featuring a linear story and turn based battles in which you use various skills to defeat your enemies. There is not much in the way of unique features, except for the minor wrinkle that you will be running with a party of one for the majority of the game. The game is not intended to be difficult, but be careful: game overs will happen if you overextend and run out of MP at a bad time.
Characters
A 12 year old girl, and the protagonist of the story. Despite her age, she has an incredibly strong sense of responsibility, and is not very keen on asking others to help fix her own problems.
The antagonist who has stolen the crystal. He is a bit of a nut case and has illusions of grandeur, but his magic is the real deal and that makes him a force to be reckoned with.
A pair of masked travellers that Isacaiah meets on her journey. Where they are from and what they are doing is a mystery, but they seem all to eager to involve themselves in Isacaiah's situation.
Some more words
This game was made in RPG Maker MV over the span of ~4 weeks and released for the Release Something Event (RSE) that coincided with the 31st birthday of the RPG Maker series. I really enjoyed making (and actually completing!) this game, so I hope that you guys will get some enjoyment out of playing my game as well.
The plan is that this will be the first in a series of games featuring characters and stories from all over the world of Aethera and beyond, but I admit that that is still very far away. For now, please enjoy this game!
Regards,
Flaming Chicken Sword Lord

I played this recently, found it by chance here first then saw it on the RPG Maker forums. I really enjoyed it, the mechanics were all balanced very well as others have said and the story kept me curious and interested. I think Infinity character could be expanded upon further, but otherwise very well done. Good job and thanks for this! :)
This game is really nice. It has good pacing the story is simple yet elegant. The Exp gain and damage output is really well balanced. The only thing I personally would have liked to see was the west side of the small town but that might also be because I became invested in the story. The characters all have nice designs and work really well in the simple story. I really am looking forward to a sequal of sorts. I am curious about the world and the mystery left hanging in the post credits scene.
The final boss was kindoff easy in my opinion but every battle was still fun planning around the mp gain and loss.
Finally I would give this game a 8/10. Very well balanced fun battles and nice and simple but very short. I really am looking forward to seeing more games from you flame chicken sword lord. (amazing name btw)
I randomly ran across this game while surfing through the newest uploads and decided to give it a try. Here are my thoughts after playing through and finishing it, as someone who doesn't often play RPG Maker games:
Overall, I enjoyed my experience with this game, and I'm certainly interested to see what you do in the future with these characters. Well done on completing this game!
