Inspired by action platformer classics of the 16-bit era, "Project: Fantasy X" is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure platformer game featuring:

  • The original fantasy world of Elythia, a magic-infused world full of mystic cultures, monsters, kingdoms, and ancient history to uncover

  • Platforming, movement options, and level-design made to complement the dynamic, versatile magic system

  • Deep melee and ranged combat mechanics inspired by fighting games and beat-'em-ups

  • Legendary boss fights against epic elemental beasts

  • Secrets and collectibles to discover and unlock, affecting gameplay and uncovering lore secrets

  • A gripping, personal story about identity, loss, and finding your own path in the face of destiny

  • Original composed music tracks for every level, environment, and the variety of story and combat encounters throughout the game.

  • Lots and LOTS of pixel art!

This is a dream project of mine that may yet take me many years hence to finish, but is something I'm determined to see to fruition in its fullness. I don't plan on compromising my vision for this adventure. I'll hope you'll join me on my progress on this journey. Wish me luck, and welcome to the world of Elythia!

Sept. 2025: Drew some mockups for in-game dialogue, and realized my portraits had a lot of room to grow, so they expanded from 64px to 112px squares, which is a staggering increase of fidelity and detail.
