Shiny new game!


Shiny New Game.

Phew, so you guys are probably wondering, where I've gotten too and what I've been up to.  Well first off I needed to step away from youtube, so my yt channel is gone, all my videos, all my tutorials and hundreds of thousands of views.  The reason is simple, I love building games and while I also love chilling and helping people out, promoting others work etc.. doing stuff for Youtube meant I had to step away from doing what I love, building games.  Theres only so many hours in a day right?

So whats the goal here?

You guys know how much I love crazy, violent stuff and my writing is usually inspired by guys like George RR Martin, Bernard Cornwell and my taste video game narrative lies somewhere between those guys and games like Diablo and the From Software games, but I wanted to approach this differently, as a learning experience so I had 2 goals...

1 - Learn to write something that still packs emotion but also has the upbeat feel of classic jrpg's at times.  So stuff like Dragon Quest and the early FF games.

2 - Drag my geriatric arse into the 2020's with a much more diverse cast than I'm used of writing, so mostly its a journey of learning to write characters of all shapes, sizes, races etc.. to create something everyone can enjoy and maybe see themselves in regardless of who they are.

3 - I wanted to show off the fantastic Fantasy DreamWorld tiles from ELV games.

4 - I always wanted to try and write a banging soundtrack in the style of Nobuo Uematsu (so I'm giving it a blast!) 

The Demo

The demo is a short taster and can be beaten in 10 minutes, its buggy and not at all polished but it's a prototype.  So give it a blast, enjoy the old school jrpg feel I'm going for, let me know if I'm nailing it, murdering it or anywhere between in the comments or on discord.  

All feedback is hugely appreciated and I can't wait to here it, positive or negative (preferably constructive).

Peace!
