Soma Spirits is a light-hearted RPG crafted in RPG Maker VX Ace, built with colorful, custom pixel art visuals and and filled with strange characters. The project aims to aims to be a short, 2-3 hour RPG with branching paths. Rather than being fast-tracked and locked into paths from the start, you are given choices throughout the story on how you wish to proceed, and the choices made will have a significant impact on the story's outcome. 


The world of Soma Spirits is divided into two similar, but distinct versions of one another. At certain locations, you will be able to switch between the two worlds and find very different inhabitants, monsters, and clues on how to proceed forward. The choices you make in one world may have an impact on the other, and you may find that the decisions you made may have affected the world in ways you didn't imagine.







Some call them two parts to a whole, but they're better known as Heart and Soul. 


Heart is the Spirit of Joy, charged with the task of protecting the inhabitants of the World of Joy. Heart is an optimist, living each and every day to its absolute fullest. He wants to wake up and end every day with a smile and makes it his life's mission to make sure everyone does the same. 


Soul is the Spirit of Sorrow, who protects the people in the World of Sorrow. While some may be quick to write him off as a pessimist and negative, Soul makes it his mission to keep everyone's eyes open and aware of how the world works. He is not one for escapism, and urges people to tread through life cautiously, but still to the best of their ability. 

• Turn-based combat with shifting party roles. Heart and Soul will have different abilities depending on where they are!
  
• Hand-crafted visuals and custom music.
  
• Greatly customized menus and UI, made possible by Luna Engine.
  
• Branching paths based on your decisions.
  
• Some branching character development.
  

As of 3/2/16, I've been working on the game for about five months and at hard at work getting a demo together for you all to enjoy. I estimate that Soma Spirits is roughly 15% completed as it stands now, so there's a little while yet to go. Hope you all look forward to it!
