Some of you might already know that the JRPG-inspired action RPG I’ve been working on was rebranded as Eternal Radiance, now a hybrid visual novel/action RPG. With this new scope set for the project, Eternal Radiance is now live on Kickstarter.

The biggest change is that while Eternal Radiance still has 3D dungeons and combat, towns and storytelling will now be handled in a visual novel format.

This also allowed us to create a demo that shows a full slice of the game’s beginning, which you can download and play here (or follow the link from the Kickstarter page).

Eternal Radiance follows Celeste, a squire in the Ashen Order, whose dreams of becoming a knight are dashed when a thief steals the artifact she was sent to retrieve for her initiation. Determined to prove herself, Celeste heads out alone to reclaim the artifact. But the theft is only the tip of a dark conspiracy…

It’s a character-driven story, and we hope to have a plot that is compelling while still having many lighthearted moments. Since I’m the game’s writer, please direct any questions you have about Eternal Radiance’s plot and characters to me.

A few weeks ago, I showed you the updated combat for Destiny Chronicles and promised that we’d be relaunching our Kickstarter campaign soon.

Now, Destiny Chronicles is back on Kickstarter!

It’s an action RPG inspired by JRPGs, and we plan to release it for the PC, PS4, and Switch. Development on the PC version will be first, followed by the PS4 version and then the Switch version.

This time we have a playable demo so you can check out the improved combat for yourself.

Destiny Chronicles follows Celeste, a knight-in-training whose initiation is ruined when a thief steals the ancient artifact she was sent to recover. Determined to prove herself, Celeste sets out on a journey to catch the thief and reclaim the artifact.

Along the way, she’ll meet a mercenary named Valana and a scholar named Ruby, who join her quest, along with several other characters.

It will be a character-driven game with a story told through visual novel style scenes, and we also plan to include optional character conversations (like the skits in Tales).

Here’s our new Kickstarter trailer:

The Kickstarter page has details on how the combat system will work, information about the world’s history and lore, some of our location concept art, a sample of the game’s soundtrack, and more!

So if you’re interested in Destiny Chronicles, head on over to our Kickstarter campaign to learn more about it, lend us your support, and share the link with your friends.

Feel free to ask me any questions, as well. While I’m mainly involved with the story, I should be able to find out other answers for you. Is there anything you’d like to know about Destiny Chronicles?
