RMMV Eniko: Ghosts Of Grace (Story Demo available soon)

[Former_Sky]

Anything with a retro 90s vibe is right up my alley. Looks very similar to some PSX/Saturns RPGs. I dig it.

 

[HalcyanStudio]

@Former_Sky Thanks! That really was the look I was going for, so happy to hear it's picked up like that too

I never knew pixel art textures could look so good in 3D.

You'd think Minecraft would have given me a hint.

This is dope.

 

[Azurose]

This looks legitimately amazing. The art is extremely appealing, and I just love games like this.

Super interested.

@Copywright & @Roseille Thank you for the kind words you both!

So, worked a lot on the game the past month, and I'm happy to show of some new things! First of all, I worked hard on building the main city Belrynna. I already built the houses and areas before, but you'll spend a good deal of time in Belrynna, exploring the city, visiting the shops, carrying out sidequests, discover hidden areas etc.

Right now I'm trying to make the city as vivid as possible. I want to let the city evolve and make the npc's live a life there so that throughout the game you feel like you can discover new stories, places and items here. What games did a good job in this field in your opinion? Let me know!

Kato15s finished the character art for Eniko. The identity for this character shall remain a mystery for now, once the demo is ready I can reveil more!

And, I'm also super thrilled to A: announce that the YouTube channel is finally in use and B: I found the perfect composer for the game: Nickolas Wolfe. A seriously talented young composer. I'm proud to present the Main Theme for Eniko: Ghosts Of Grace:



Step by step I'm getting closer to release a tech demo, feel free to follow the project at Itch.io if you want tofollow the project and play the demo as soon as it's released: https://halcyan-games.itch.io/eniko

I am really excited for this!! i wait for the demo! The work in this is looking amazing!

 

[Starmage]

OMG This project is so pretty I just... Ahhh!!! <3 <3 I sooo love the use of assets and how you turned it into an Octopath-esque aesthetic!! <3 Fanboying hard rn!! Keep up the great work!! ^_^

 

[HalcyanStudio]

@RedRose190 @Starmage Thank you so much for your kind words you both! Feel free to follow on Itch.io or social media to get updates about the demo etc.

 

[HalcyanStudio]

here are a couple recent screenshots. If everything goes well I should be at the point to look for some people to beta test the tech demo in 1-2 months. Around summer I want to release a full story demo and maybe a full release around the holidays is possible? Still a lot of if's on that statement, but up to the tech demo i'm fairly confident I can keep up the schedule.

Working on this map currently, have to add lighting and such:

I dunno why, but just lookin' at the screenshots makes me feel all giddy!

 

[HalcyanStudio]

Before I can release the first demo, I need to finish 4 sidequests. This post celebrates sidequest 1/4 is now done!

(After i'll also need to work with a better coder then myself to squish some bugs and then find some beta testers before moving to a public demo, but... Hooray progress!)

Here's also another song from the project's composer, Nickolas Wolfe. This time, the battle theme. Enjoy!

 

[HalcyanStudio]

Another sidequest done, another update post! I might go with 3 sidequests done for the first version of the demo. The faster I get technical and content feedback the better a this point I think.

Here's a screenshot of the newest quest:

And a new song from the OST!


What vibe do you get from this one? Looking forward to hear

 

[HalcyanStudio]

Rest your weary legs in the Dancing Fox Inn!

Development pace is pretty good at the moment actually. I'm making all the inner buildings of the main city now, like the Inn above, and then I'm gonna finish up one last sidequest before I'm gonna wrap things up for the first demo. I'll share details soon on how you can sign up to beta test the demo, probably best to set up a Discord server for that.

I really love to come back and check the updates. The maps are super nice and its unique and has a style that stands out. You really utilize the MV3D to bring out a lot more in the maps which I just love. As for the soundtrack, it starts out with a feeling of mystique, followed by suspense (don't really have a better word for it) till it reaches a point of grim realization or horror. Which probably could be connected to a lot of different outcomes.

That said, I really love your project. Should make a little support banner so you can get free promotion from signatureless people like myself

 

[HalcyanStudio]

@h0tWalker Thanks for your reply! For the soundtrack, that's exactly what I (and the composer of course) was aiming for, so very happy to hear that.

I'll make a support banner and post them here very soon, thank you for requesting!

 

[HalcyanStudio]

As requested by @h0tWalker I have a created a little support banner for the project. If you want to help out Eniko, feel free to add it to your signature on any forum or website:

The art and graphics look great. It's amazing the look of 3-D with RPG Maker. I really look forward to giving this a go.

 

[HalcyanStudio]

Thank you for replying @awkaiyoki doing my best to get a demo ready that's worth playing!

 

[cradth]

That's the most impressive MV3D I ever see, well crafted and beautiful. I had a plan to create one, but that would be a hell of works with the ongoing projects. Very promising game! I'll play the demo once you have one.
