Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond is the second part of a planned trilogy. I've found the first part "Old North" and its prequel DLC Howl of the Ravager to be a pretty enjoyable JRPG. Decent story, characters, and art, and far less mindless grindy combat than the typical JRPG. Combat system is actually pretty fun, with a nice variety of special abilities and tactics.

Honestly, with a few exceptions (e.g., Growlanser, Radiant Historia) I generally dislike JRPGs because of the repetitive gameplay, very linear structures, and tendency to have cliche plots with very young or otherwise immature characters. Celestian Tales features a more mature story, with a few choices that give it some depth. And the choices you made in the first installment should have some consequences in the 2nd part. IOW it's a JRPG for WRPG players who generally don't love JRPGs.

Zachtronics ports SHENZHEN SOLITAIRE for MS-DOS

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1812249267/shenzhen-solitaire-for-ms-dos

By the time that I started seriously developing games (like SpaceChem), computers had come a long way from when I started playing PC games in the early 90's. In an effort to nostalgically reconnect with my past and broaden my understanding of antiquated programming paradigms (aka research for future Zachtronics games), Keith and I set out to port SHENZHEN SOLITAIRE to MS-DOS!

The port itself is finished, so all that's left is to manufacture and distribute the game. If you back this project you will receive the game and its source code on a signed 3.5" floppy disk.

The game requires an IBM compatible PC with a 386 or better, at least 640 kB of RAM, and a VGA-compatible graphics card. We compiled the game with Borland C++ 3.1, which is not included.

I will humbly submit the Empire Deluxe Combined Edition Kickstarter, now through Aug 28th.

Empire Deluxe Combined Edition now in reaching its final day.

I'll rep this:

This is a passion project for my buds and me. I conceptualized it years ago when I was playing Eggerland/Lolo and thought to myself, "man I really want to play this on a modern platform or while I'm on the toilet"!

Luminous Plume - A lovely looking 2D Action RPG

Came across this today, love what they're trying to do, animations don't look quite right thought

Nintendo Switch is a stretch goal, but apparently they should be able to get it to Switch without reaching it if necessary.

Had no idea they were doing a kickstarter for the second game. They've reached their goal but I backed them anyway (Southeast Asia support!) Enjoyed the first game, didn't finish the DLC though as it dragged on too long.

Thanks for the heads-up. I liked the first game quite a bit, will back the second.

IQSoup launched a second kickstarter to speed along the completion of their Wild West / Steampunk RPG "Age of Grit". Combat is turn-based, between steam-powered air ships.

Really fun looking fighting action game in its final hours and like 92% funded. Has a demo too so give it a shot?

Indie Pogo!

It's only just started, but it's criminal that there are less than 150 backers for what is easily the most promising of the "indie crossover fighter" type games that so many are clamoring for. It has a unique fighting style that blends Smash Bros. with something a little more arcadey and unique, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I also really want to make a proper full thread but I am too nervous to do so oops.

I am sorry but that character art and sprite animation look awful.

I didn't realize they had the Kickstarter for Part 2. I actually liked part one so backed it. For those folks that haven't played it, 2nd tier has Part One w/DLCs and Part 2 for $15. It's well worth it I would say.

Hi there!

My name is Josh, and I'm the creator of Village Monsters, a life sim game inspired by Animal Crossing and Mother 3.

Village Monsters is set inside the world of an abandoned video game. All the monsters that were once enemies have since given the bad guy thing and have settled in a peaceful village of their own making. You play the role as the sole human living in this village of monsters.



https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/389391560/village-monsters-a-monstrous-life-sim-game

9 months ago to the day I quit my day job to pursue my childhood dream of creating video games. It's been equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking, and this Kickstarter represents my first opportunity to make this new life sustainable. It's been going well so far, and I'd love for y'all to take a look!
