    (Current) SYNOPSIS
    Spoiler
    You are a boy in search of your sister, the aptly named Sister. Crash landing on a tall, hollow island filled to the brim with monsters, you will need your wits about you as well as the souls of those who stand between you and Sister's safety!

    Soul Servant is a retro dungeon crawler JRPG with monster collecting aspects, a la Pokemon or Shin Megami Tensei. The player character starts in Caldera Village, a small settlement at the top of the island populated by monsters.

    • Collect souls from your enemies and use them to create monster Thralls to fill your party!
    • Customize your character with Skill Books!
    • Four Thralls to collect!
    • Three whole levels!
    • Almost certainly unbalanced!

    FUTURE PLANS
    Spoiler
    • More Dungeon/Better Mapping
      • I'm curious to see how much I can vary the maps just using the Tiny16 tileset. I work best when working within constraints, so it should be fun!
    • More Monsters/Thrawls/Skills/Etc.
      • Let's be real: four monsters is not nearly enough for a game with monster collection... or a game with monsters in general, I suppose.
      • Pretty much all the skills are default at the moment. I need more and I need to get around to...
    • Balancing!
      • Right now, the Spook and Skele-man enemies are a wee bit overpowered. I'm tinkering with damage formulas and the like to fix that.
      • Skills, both in power and MP usage.
    • Custom Battle Animations

  2. I tried the demo and it looks cool but the howl animation is missing, causing the game to crash when an enemy attacks.

    Well, that's...bizarre. I just did a fresh export and can confirm the problem has been fixed. The working version has been uploaded for you to try. :D
  4. As a fellow monster collection game maker, I's pumped to see this get done! BEST OF LUCK!
