What do you think?

woah this game has some awesome pixel art! I'm interested now haha-

I love all of the style from this game! I can't wait to see how it evolves even more over time! <3

So, this is an RPG. You've caught my attention.

The game's art style reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and I love that! I'm interested to see what this game has in store.

Can't wait!

TL;DR: It's Chrono Trigger but it has town-building mechanics with a time-travel twist!

SOMEWHEN is a retro RPG inspired by Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle, Chrono Trigger, and Rogue Galaxy. Enjoy dungeon diving, resource gathering, and town building mechanics. In Somewhen, you must help Idyll and company restore a fractured world with an uncertain future using a curious time-travelling train and a little something called the Conductor to rebuild entire towns. Your goal is to quite literally reshape the future by placing homes, trees, and other structures in the present. Rebuild towns using a system like Dark Cloud's while fighting for your future with a battle system reminiscent of Chrono Trigger.

Fight, fish, build, cook, and invent your way through several chapters guaranteed with hours of play through a unique dungeon stage system and challenges.
Collect hundreds of items. Migrate special NPCs to your new towns. Invent new weapons and trinkets.

Take world restoration in your own hands.

Working on some more #procgen in #rpgmaker!

The layouts sometimes get very interesting! Will work on the rooms and spawning of monsters and treasure chests soon!!! I even improved the compass with a full map!

Yeah, I'm starting to get lost in my own dungeons, so I set up compass points. I'll add them to future things I spawn too, like monsters and chests...

Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm working on procedurally generated dungeons in #RPGMAKER!

SOMEWHEN has more sound effects to it now! Yay! Starting to feel like a game even more! There's a slight controller rumble when the ball is hit, for good measure.

Sorry about being quiet all week. I pulled the trigger on working on the card minigame for Somewhen.

It's a nice break from working on the main scenario and battle/town-building system(s).

Uh-oh... someone's thinking of a card minigame again...

Time will march on without you, even in battle. Use the global buffs characters get from certain times of the day to your advantage.

It would be dangerous to go some places during specific times of the day so plan accordingly.

I changed my Time Gates entirely.

What's a game like Chrono Trigger without cool portal effects?

YOU FOUND A GEOGEAR!!

I needed a cool effect when you pick one of these important items up! I really enjoy it.

I will be attempting to convert all of my new poses into ones with smoother, subtle subpixel animation. I might even slow them down from this a bit further too. I'm really new to subpixel animation, but I think I'm starting to understand the basics.
