It’s finally ready to show off to the world! After developing my game “Wild Western,” I wanted to expand it into a full open world adventure game. This is what that small simple game has morphed into. I actually called this game “Wild Western” for a while, but I think the name “The Ballad of Lone Phoenix” fits so much better.

It’s a top down open world adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic western universe. Two of my biggest inspirations for this game are The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. I wanted to make a game with retro roots and styles, but with modern open world designs.

The premise of the game is simple: you play as 1 of 4 unique characters and continually relive the same day over and over again in order to unravel the mystery of who’s trying to destroy the last remaining town.

I’ll be updating the devlog with info about the game every Saturday, so be sure to follow along!
