Ken's Adventure
In high school, I spent four years making a role-playing game using RPG Maker 2000. The result is Ken's Adventure!

The game features witty dialogue, your choice of four endings, and takes roughly three to eight hours to complete!

Join Ken on an epic quest to rid his town from an evil dragon!
Installing Ken's Adventure
  • Unzip KensAdventure.zip
  • Open Setup.exe
  • Choose an Install Path (ex. 'C:\Ken's Adventure\')
  • Check "Add games shortcut to the start menu"
  • Go to Start > Programs > RPG Maker 2000 > Games
  • Run Ken's Adventure!
If you can clearly read the words 'Start', 'Load', and 'End' on the title screen, you should be all set! Otherwise, run the included Font Patch.
Controls
  • Arrow Keys - move, highlight things on the menu
  • Enter - talk, examine, open doors, make selections
  • Escape - open the main menu, cancel, end shopping
You can also enter and exit rafts using the Enter key!
Rafts can travel through shallow (light blue) water.
Characters
From left to right: Ken, Jonah, Fred, Murray














Ken is the guy you control throughout most of the game. A dragon is burning up his town, and to defeat it he must find better equipment, and gain experience points.
Starting the Game
I made this game for my friends, many of whom don't play video games! The dialogue reveals tips, giving new players an overview of what a role-playing game is, and how to play!
  • Defeat enemies to earn experience points and gold
  • Weapons and armor are only useful if you equip them!
  • Valuable items are found in stores and treasure chests
