....as well answering questions to the True Ending of Journey Of The Scroll....
Moses Reeve is the son of two pirates, the laid back Bobby and the broom-wielding Callie. He wishes to live up to his parents' name, but is always failing epically at the mercy of his trainer, Jina. With more pirates pouring into Gilfer's Bay due to the rapid shutdowns of port after port, the pirate way is threatened by a merciless dictator known merely as The Dominator.
Bestowed upon a gift by a mysterious cloaked guy and his beloved, can Moses along with his village and pirate refugees stand against the crushing force of the empire they dwell in?
~ ABOUT THE GAME ~
Final Pirate Haven: Rebellion of Gilfer's Bay is a direct sequel to Crystal Captor: Memory Chronicle Finale. The first game was an entry to So Bad, It's Good! Jam 2017, taking first place, and had purposely horrendous and minimalistic maps and events. The sequel will improve upon maps and events, but to keep in the spirit of things, still retain that so bad, it's good charm, just aiming to be 10x better than its predecessor.
Nobody has recollection of the past events since Amina reset this world. No Name master, whom took Moses' place and was bestowed the gift of Crystal Captor by "Xander"--has been defeated. Now Xander, whom now has been restored to his true name (coincidentally Moses as well), is recovering from the illness No Name cursed him with, and can now peacefully live in peace, with Amina's hand in his. With the world their people originally came from destroyed, the two agree upon residing in this world and live out in a tent not terribly far from Gilfer's Bay.
The Reeve family are carrying on as usual. Moses Reeve is training hard to be the best pirate he can, but failing miserably at the hands of his trainer. His mother Callie is both worried and disappointment in his lack of improvement. Captain Bobby and his crew, despite stricter regulations against pirates, have managed to haul in a ton of booty into the bay to keep the pirate way thriving. Mr. Cabbage is still growing cabbages. Jackass once again gets adopted into the Reeve family. And the dazzling Mona (no longer dead since the world's reset) has her crazy tea-loving mind deadset on romancing The Dominator.
But, trouble is brewin' once again, and Moses and Amina will have to again bestow their powers upon Moses Reeve to aid in saving the bay and his fellow pirates.
Oh, and, two Elven scholars who have traveled to Arseland with a mission of their own may come across a vital connection crossing paths with the Crimson Eyed couple. As well as learn of a most exotic prisoner, delivered to Master Potato from Queen Gale of The Kingdom Of Red
FEATURES:
- Fully voiced cutscenes, just like the original, with returning roles and plenty of new ones!
- Much longer game than the original and will be presented in two acts (in one game)
- Mapping and eventing will actually have a greater attempt at effort
- Storyline will be a lot more in-depth and light on the battle sequences
- Leo'Dan and Ni'Ana from Journey of The Scroll appear in this game
- Multiple endings (including early pseudo-ends in the first act)
- More exciting brain-breaking plot twists that may or may not make any sense
- Lots more cabbages! I'm serious, you even get to see Mr. Cabbage's farm this time
- Learn more about some of the characters' past
- Hopefully there will be a lot more exploration and things to do
- It will still have that comedic "so bad, it's good" charm, so expect
the usual brand of ridiculous humour and Gilfer's Bay having glitchy looking lighting
- COMPLETELY FREE

~ DEV NOTES 12.10.2019 ~
BEHOLD! THE SEQUEL NOBODY ASKED FOR!!! Wahahaha.
Rebellion of Gilfer's Bay has been a project I have been excited to dream up and actually work on since creating the first game. I love doing these types of games because they are not extremely labour intensive, and I actually learn so much as I experiment with different features and technique I could try in RMVXA. It's kind of weird going back to VX Ace after this long, since after working with MV that uses a larger res, I realize.... oh wow, look at how tiny everything is in this program! LOL. But I love VX Ace to pieces, and am enjoying working with this engine once more. It's still my favorite, honestly.
What I enjoy working on most for this sequel is the fact that it really expands the world. Due to the jam's 1 week time limit (and having to make a fun but "badly made" product), the original game was fairly straight to the point and didn't bother too much with names of places or indepth explanations. Now without having to be restricted by a deadline, I am able to flesh out the world. As of Journey of The Scroll that takes place in the same world, but different continent, I was able to make subtle expansions in the references to Crystal Captor, even finally naming the land our characters reside.
This thread's purpose is to keep track of the game's progress throughout development, and for those of you interested in the game to keep up to date with how it is going! I am very excited, and hope you enjoy the next installment in this silly comedic fantasy series ^^
