Alright! So, it's finally happening. We have launched our Kickstarter campaign!
There is so much to say, and yet so little... so let's get to it!
First of all, here is a link to the Exile Saga Kickstarter page:
We'd appreciate your support, and that includes feedback!
Thanks to everyone who has helped us reach this potential milestone. Now comes the battle!
Exile Saga is a dream. It started as a writing contest/project between two friends seven yeas ago. Now, that story is becoming a fully fledged Adventure RPG with dungeons, memorable characters and a deep story set in a world torn asunder by a vicious invasion.
The game is built using RPG Maker VX Ace and a good deal of heavy customization, such as light effects, action battle system(ABS), OST and unique art.
We are getting closer to the goal that is Kickstarter, where we hope to gather enough funds to complete the game in as high quality as possible.
Excerpt from the games current intro:
Once, when the world was still whole and full of life,
there existed a covenant of fanatical devil worshipers.
With their increasingly bloody rituals and sudden,
violent strikes against innocent people,
the covenant became hunted, and was forced into hiding.
This, however, did not end the bloodshed.
Instead, the covenant uncovered an ancient construct,
hidden deep beneath the ground;
A stone portal with the strange symbols and markings of
the very demons they worshiped.
The covenant then spent years in hiding - but also learning.
And in the end, they succeeded in casting a magical spell
-a spell that opened the portal,
and allowed a fiend unlike anything else to enter
the world of man.
It was a devil so powerful that the covenant immediately
cast itself at his feet.
With the help of the covenant, the devil lord succeeded
in summoning an army of hellish legions
-resulting in the cataclysmic invasion,
and bloodsoaked defeat of mankind.
During the war, however, one man was able to gather
a group of survivors, a sparse few hundred, and led them
to a place where he said they could live in
safety from the devil and his hordes
This man was known as Jonah Remington.
And from the moment he and his survivors set foot upon
the sacred land surrounding a monastery
hidden from the enemy,
it was clear that Remington had been led to this place by the
invisible forces of good.
Now, eighteen years later, Remington and his survivors still live
and train at the Monastery,
hidden from the gaze and might of the devil lord.
Here in this haven, young men and women are
trained to survive against the hellish hordes, and here...
...our story begins.
