I confess to a new addiction. Final Fantasy Resonance. I'm been playing it all weekend and I can't stop. I haven't been a real fan of FF since FF X. That feeling is back. Finally, it's back. Final Fantasy has returned. I've missed you. Warm regards, An Old-School Fan Since FF1

I've been quiet as of late as I'm working on a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff like databasing, combat balancing, etc. Trying to get a viable demo together for Zenogaias some point soon. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3852790/... #gamedev #JRPG #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #RPGMaker #RPG

Since Faviann has limited range as a dual-wielding dagger user, he uses "Warp Strike" to target distant foes. Meanwhile Elika (the game's resident heavy hitter) can target foes two tiles away while Trabant, as the ranged specialist, can hit any tile. #indiedev #indiegamedev #JRPG #gamedev

Consolidated the game's description and feature set. It was a little foggy for awhile, as the original project conversion did not go as smoothly as I initially observed... we seem to be back on track, however! #JRPG #RPG #indiegames #gaming #gamedev #rpgmaker #IndieGameDev #solodev

Looking great! I've been following this game's development awhile now and really liking what I'm seeing!

This is looking sooo good!

Something feels off in Notimmus. This quiet elven village is a distorted reflection of Summiton, where the Blight has changed the land and outsiders are met with suspicion. #ScreenshotSaturday 🏡 #AlteriumShift #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #JRPG

Exploring the Bell Tower in Alanter🔔 #WishlistWednesday #RPGMaker #GameDev #IndieGameDev #RPG #JRPG 🔽 Wishlist on Steam (link in comments)

This is huge for me. I just checked my Steam wishlist count and did a double take. 500 wishlists for Zenogaias. For me, that's just absolutely amazing and I can't thank you enough. Looking hopeful for 1,000! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3852790/... #gamedev #rpg #jrpg #rpgmaker

It wasn't my first game by far, since that was on the Atari, but Final Fantasy IV was the one that made me a lifelong JRPG gamer and is one of the major inspirations for Zenogaias. I'll never forget beating the final boss at way past my bedtime as a kid playing on my SNES. Amazing memory. 😀

I was asked recently about inspirations, so for each of Zenogaias' Episodes the biggest was Final Fantasy IV in terms of its pacing and even elements of its gameplay. Other inspirations include Xenogears, Final Fantasy VI, Lufia 2, and Trails' Crossbell Duology. #indiedev #gamedev #retro #JRPG

The UI feels closer to what I want! I should stylize the attack's lights to be closer to a unique bar later but for now I'm satisfied I liked the glass but the upcoming action select menu might've clashed too hard with it, I feel. That and I can color code stuff depending on action more brilliantly
