It’s been 4 months since the first project campaign on Indiegogo ended. The previous campaign was just like an ‘accident’, it just got published without any preparation, we not even finished making sample screen of the gameplay yet that time.

Somehow we managed to get more fundamentals structure as system engineer, designer, and able to reach more eyes. Not to mention due to lack of funding, i try to learn to become the game artists itself asside of writings. Try to define what’s Crossfate is with some artworks and concept arts.

Trying, now i’ve been here

It’s not perfect but can make the game artist understand better when they recieve my description about how the feeling of character must be. Yes, we put more efforts in character connection, back story and development. Because they affect the story much, and such enjoyment to player’s eyes to make them looks interesting to be played.

The goal in crossfate saga is create the RPG world that is unusual, by this mean we focused to create a war in moden days like our current times, enhanced with superpowers and mythical creature. So the outfit design might be not too fantasical, we’ll not find a warrior girl with minimum armor here for example. (Because i’m not really good at drawing them tho ^^ ).

The arc system for the game itself has been changed and developed, we’ll have some lengthy and heavy content but still able to follow. If you used to JRPG’s you’ll get used to this game quickly.

I just working, ensuring this not going to be a generic RPG or RPG Maker games. So many challenge, but that’s what i taken interest to do it. One year and will keep going on.

Back speaking how we lack of resources, i need to find a proper pixel artist (or learn to be one even it will doubled the development time progress). A comic copywriter for promotional and fanbase building, also professional music composer. Anyone who experienced with indie gaming surely relate to this, “if you can’t fill the role, try to look for someone or learn to be that guy.”

Currently i have friends who helping me creating game assets, due to lack of resource i barely can paid them fairly, but they still likely to help although it’s just on their free time only.

I have finished compiled the first ‘book’ of Vanessa’s Crossfate, now it’s time to give the game development a boost, apllying it to be read and playable through its game.

By this, i announce that we may have another indie project campaign, and the Goddess of Etherim call you guys who’ve been following Crossfate to join me spread the world to people.

There’ll be a worthy reward, your deeds won’t be forgotten.

here’s some another images and update
