-What is Ill Harmony?-

Ill Harmony is a modern-day RPG inspired by games like Shin Megami Tensei- You play as Aaron Tenbrooks, a boy whose shadow has been separated from him for as long as he can remember, as you seek out people’s nightmares to slay them once and for all- lest they die otherwise!

Featuring a combination of turn-based dungeon crawling with the well-received “Harmony Battle System”, as well as daily time management as you befriend those around the city of Bayhaven, Ill Harmony creates a synergy between two unlikely genres for an intense adventure.

ILL HARMONY IS FINALLY RETURNING!!

After one long-ass wait, it's finally coming back! Ill Harmony is coming back as crazy as ever, with a definitive version of the demo to fill in the void in all your hearts from when the last download went dead- What's so great about another demo build? All the cool stuff added in just for you guys! More plot has been added! New art has been added as well as updates to some previous art, as a taste of the newer art coming to the full release! Gameplay has been improved with a more player-friendly interface! Lots of pointless fun bosses have been added to cater to the most hardcore of fans! We're skipping over version 0.1.5 because that much more has been added from my previous intentions for the next build. This'll be the last demo build before the game comes out, so play this as much as you can when it releases and get hyped for the next big announcement, culminating in the final release date! But are you going to PAX East? Catch me with my postcards in the expo hall on Sunday and snag the download code for an advance copy: one week before anyone else!

But if not...

Check back here April 29th for the free download of Version 0.1.6!

ILL HARMONY VER.0.1.4 RELEASE

ILL HARMONY VERSION 0.1.4 ALPHA DEMO IS HERE!!

DOWNLOAD IT VIA MEGA!

MEGA.CO.NZ DOWNLOAD HERE

Coming soon to IndieDB and Steam Workshop!

It’s time for a brand new killer release for Ill Harmony! Featuring a plethora of revisions and balancing as requested by the many players who helped shape the alpha to where it is now! While still the alpha itself, version 0.1.4 boasts many additions and visual overhauls that make it miles beyond the version 0.1.2 released publicly before! Just what’s been added, you ask?

VISUAL OVERHAULS

All sorts of refined visual components to better reflect the artistic vision of Ill Harmony! New window skins, more art, more animation, and an all around better looking game! Battle portraits, new battle music, all manner of artistic enhancements make Ill Harmony looking it's best yet!

MORE PLOT AND MORE BOSSES

New enemies emerge to stand in your way that shed more light on the forthcoming story for the full game. Just what do these enemies mean and just how fearsome are they in combat? As more is revealed, so too are more questions given to the story of Bayhaven.

WEAPON SYSTEM

That's right! After being asked about by fans, the weapon system is now implemented completely into the game! Strategize with up to 6 types of weapons, each with their own unique styles of play that can dictate your performance in a variety of ways: A new level of strategy is added onto combat to give players another way to seek a tactical advantage on their foes!

EXTENDED GAMEPLAY

Previous floors of the dungeon have been extended or altered, and an entirely new floor has been added as well! Not only this, but gameplay is prolonged with more hidden features unlockable after the demo is completed! Load a save file after you beat the game to find all sorts of hidden goodies in the postgame! Aaron and Nero also learn new skills and can continue to do so past level 10; skills will be learned all the way up to the level cap of 25!

DIFFICULTY LEVELS

with enemies being retooled with buffs and debuffs, one thing has been learned: no game experience will ever be the perfect difficulty for all players. In light of that, sink your teeth into a smorgasbord of difficulty levels! Not only with your average Easy and Hard modes added, but also Dream mode for those looking to cruise through the game, as well as Insane and Nightmare for the truly masochistic looking for the ultimate challenge! (Purgatory is not recommended for obvious reasons, but who's stopping you?)

SURVIVAL MODE

Still not tired of turn based battles? Well then try your hand at survival mode! Hidden deep within the game, avid players will unlock this mode to test their mettle in battle with up to 30 waves of enemies... just to be thrown back to wave 1 all over again without any respite whatsoever- Your high score will be recorded across your entire game, meaning even in another save file, you still have your personal best to beat!

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FULL DEMO RELEASE? ENOUGH OF THIS ALPHA BUSINESS!

The full demo is in full production! The demo will detail new characters, full implementation of the Harmony system as well as Harmony Chains and player-specific dungeon choices based on who YOU choose to befriend! The demo is slated for a January 2016 release, with the full full FINISHED game on track for a Summer 2016 release! It's getting closer each day, and you'll be surprised at how quick a year goes by!

Thank you so much everyone for all your support so far, but please continue to report any issues or opinions on the game you have! Version 0.1.5 is the last version before the demo releases, and will only serve as a bug fix and final rebalance following this release right now, so enjoy everything as much as you can!

(for those interested in the techy business, expect a full dedicated changelog of version 0.1.4 from previous versions this week)

It’s time- After a long enough wait, the alpha build is ready for download!

DOWNLOAD IT HERE 

(now version 0.1.2)

For those that don’t know: Ill Harmony is an RPG made in RPG Maker VX Ace inspired by games such as Persona and Shin Megami Tensei. The game employs a dynamic system of balance between going to school and making friends, and then diving into the world of dreams at night to fight off people’s nightmares.

Follow Aaron Tenbrooks and his shadow Nero as they save the city of Bayhaven from their nightmares before they wind up dead-

This is the ALPHA BUILD. For that reason, there is many a bug within that I have yet to see. This was a solo endeavor, with all art and design done by myself! So it’s up to you guys to play through this and report any issues the game has! Keep up with the alpha build as I release updates to fix bugs and maybe add in a few extras before the real demo release this August!

Alpha Build Features:

2 Harmony Routes to engage in (friend routes)

5 Days in the game’s in-game calendar

1 Dungeon

A few extras for the savvy, battle-hardened player!

Keep playing and help me flesh out my game! Remember that this is an alpha build, meaning many visual components are not as professional as they will be in the final game. Nonetheless, enjoy!

[Please report any bugs you find and I’ll promptly fix them! You guys are my QA testers! <3]
