The next indie role-playing game from a studio known for solid indie role-playing games is sci-fi, turn-based, and inspired by some of the all time greats.
The next game from Zeboyd Gamesābest known for indie gems like Cthulhu Saves The World and the last couple of Penny Arcade RPGsāis called Cosmic Star Heroine Itās got the style of Phantasy Star and the recruiting mechanic of Suikoden. In other words, it sounds wonderful.
Some details, via Zeboyd:
Alyssa LāSalle is one of the galactic governmentās top agents and always manages to save the day! But when she accidentally uncovers a dark conspiracy, her own government outs her as a legendary spy and the peopleās champion! Sure, now she has hordes of adoring fans but every villainous organization sheās ever crossed in her career knows who she is and is out for her blood! Can she save the day once more while she faces her greatest challengeā¦ Everyone!?
Future sci-fi setting
2D pixel art visuals (but with various improvements over our previous games including bigger and more animated ally sprites)
Created with Unity so that we can cover more platforms
No separate combat screen ā combat will occur directly on the same maps that you explore on
Turn-based RPG gameplay that takes the best elements from our past games while adding a few new ideas.
Enemy groups will no longer just stay in one place on maps but will patrol and chase after the player as appropriate
Not a parody but will still have plenty of humor
Players will be able to customize their own spy headquarters by recruiting more agents (think the Suikoden series)
Will be trying to get Hyperduck (who worked with us on our last game) again for the music (theyāve already agreed that theyād like to do it but we havenāt signed anything yet)
We will be doing a kickstarter for the game later this year to help raise funds for development costs but weāll have more details on that later.
Iām totally down for this. Sounds neat, donāt you think?
