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!

Lately I've been setting up a lot of new characters, so I'm filling out my portrait project chart to make sure I don't forget anyone. These spreadsheets are so invaluable to my ability to organize my thoughts. Y'all have no idea.

The only way I've been able to keep this project intact is via the massive amount of notes and details I've kept totally organized in spreadsheets & sprawling OneNote docs. There's a lot of ideas to juggle, and these tools help keep me from dropping them.

Simon Losallion, the 53rd Sun King of Losallia. He grew up alongside Viona and Garrett Dawson. He became an incredible tactician and leader through his service in the Mystic Lions, and led his kingdom as High Commander during the Arcane Rebellions.

This is Rina, one of the two main characters. She lives with her grandmother in Amolna Village, and hopes to one day meet her mother, who disappeared when she was a little girl. Stubborn, and a little bossy, Rina is headstrong and responsible.

Here's Viona Dawson, childhood friend to prince Simon, and older sister to Garrett. She often helped them get out of sticky situations with her wit and charm, but she also proved herself plenty capable in a fight during her time with the Mystic Lions.

The next portrait is Ashlyn's. She's a retired general who now works as a blacksmith in a small village, while keeping a watchful, protective eye on young Kael. She later serves as his martial tutor.

Next project: portraits! First up-- Garrett Dawson, the wizard. He serves as Rina's mentor and guide, and, thanks to his extensive knowledge of magic, may serve a greater purpose later on as well.

Welcome to the world!

The world of Elythia. Obviously still subject to change, but this has been the working version for a long time now.
