King’s Field

The Royal Cemetery that started it all is here on Sword of Moonlight! This remake of the game was included as a sample project for all to enjoy and experiment with when Sword of Moonlight was released. Once again, a fantastic translation happened thanks to JDO.

Please remember this is meant to showcase the potential of the King’s Field making tool, and was never intended as a definitive remake.

Return to Melanet

Return to Melanat is a King’s Field fan-game that attempts to recreate the environments of King’s Field 2 in a whole new light, and while delivering an entirely new story. Like all King’s Field games, its gameplay centers around exploration, methodical combat, and light puzzle solving. All seven areas of Melanat are recreated to scale using nothing but the SoM editing tools and very few custom resources.

This game takes place about twenty years after the events of King’s Field 3. Light has been granted to the world and peace reigned for a while, however, a mysterious darkness has emerged on the Island of Melanat. Fearing the worst, the king led a detachment of knights to the island in an attempt to contain the spreading darkness, but they have not been heard from since. You play as a young prince who journeys to Melanat in search of his missing father, the king. From there, it is up to the player to explore the island and reveal its hidden secrets.

Diadem of Maunstraut

The first complete Sword of Moonlight game produced in English, authored by veteran SoM Thomas Eversole, Diadem of Maunstraut is arguably the greatest masterpiece to date of the SoM tool.

Beginning as a soundtrack dedicated to the King’s Field series, Diadem of Maunstraut grew into the first full length English RPG once John Osborne converted the Sword of Moonlight tool to English. Boasting 9 expansive maps, 60 enemies, countless spells, weapons and armors – DoM has the recipe for success. Explore the realm of Maunstraut as Zeir Grimholdt, searching for the legendary signs and weapons to aid you in your quest to rid the land of the foul darkness, repair the royal diadem and save the land.

Unfinished Games

King’s Field 25th Project

The KING’S FIELD 25th Anniversary was Holy Diver’s ongoing project to remake King’s Field II while showcasing the potential of his Sword of Moonlight EX extension. Entirely in SomEx, an incredible amount of work was put into making the island of Melanat fully realized within Sword of Moonlight. SomEx features were created to satisfy KFII’s demands.

KF25th became a testing ground for new ideas: sneaking, jumping, and blocking, otherwise unheard of in SoM. His life was entwined with his passion for this anniversary project. R.I.P.

Fallen by the Way

Fallen by the Way, SQS Ultra, and Mytrosia, each of these games were crafted by Madison Lastrega, but none saw a full release. Of them, Fallen by the Way was the most complete. A swathe of custom assets and textures were created for these projects, but until now, they have never seen the light of day. Come and see what fell to the wayside.

Seaguard

Conceptualized as King’s Field 5, Seaguard is a demo that starts out on a small island. Find your dagger and watch out for the fairies! Clever design as you traverse the ocean environment makes this SoM demo stand out.

Before Melanet

Where did the sun go? Your father set out on a journey to find that out. A magical mirror. A working telescope. Sleep cycles, dreams, and complex NPC interactions await within this technical expression of Sword of Moonlight. A working clock dictates certain events. Impressive, even in an unfinished state.

Never Quest

No skills and no money. Dissatisfied with your life as a farmer working the fields, set off for the mines to the north. Orcs have taken over the mines, but perhaps a change of pace is exactly what you need. An early Japanese SoM game with some interesting scenes and choices.

Aoi’s Project

In 2000 when some of the earliest SoM projects were being shared online, Aoi was working on a particular game. It went through multiple iterations. With the assistance of Ainsuph, another early SoM creator, some of the first custom assets made it into this work-in-project game. However, a bug prevented the game from ever being exported or finished. Over two decades later, this game can finally make its appearance.

However, it was cancelled and the playable demo was only ever sent to a handful of people.

Shadow Tower (SoM Remake)

An early JC Bailey project to recreate Shadow Tower in the Sword of Moonlight tool. The community banded together, stitching together assets from Japanese creator Ainsuph all the way from year 2000.

Curse of the Pharaohs

A SoM game set to take place in Egypt. Allegedly, most of the maps and levels were complete, and the game was set in the final polishing stage with enemy and NPC placements. A unique SoM setting that has not seen the light of day. No in-progress copies of the game were ever known to have been shared by Xtremez.

Battle for the Inn

Before the English Sword of Moonlight community rallied around the translated version in 2007, there was a small Game Maker demo for Battle for the Inn. The game centered around the Verdite Inn, a King’s Field community. Take on the role of an innkeeper and clear the monsters out of the inn! The Game Maker version from 2004 was cancelled and a Sword of Moonlight version was set to take its place. A Sword of Moonlight demo for the game was released, but seems to now be lost.
