Howdy, I figured after nearly a year worth of work I'd begin making the rounds and promoting my game, Death on Frontier a bit. I'd also like to collect as much feedback as possible and make the game the best it can be!
To break it down to an "elevator pitch", Death on Frontier is a Japanese style role playing video game with an Italian cinema style and setting inspired by the classics of the 5th console generation. As select-able characters Iris Mallory and Rook Manille, embark on an adventure across the frontier west full of betrayal, fortune, and action. Featuring highly sophisticated pre-rendered background technology combined with state of the art polygonal characters and 3D battle scenes, this adventure is not one to be missed!
The JRPG style of game, with it's heavy emphesis on story, character relationships and explosive setpieces is a perfect match for the spaghetti western style, a genre born from a A Fistful of Dollars, a remake of Akira Kurosawa's samurai comedy, Yojimbo. During it's decade long popularity, the spaghetti western genre evolved into a wide variety of styles as directors scrambled to cash in on anything that became a hit. And so, a Japanese film inspires an Italian film genre that inspires a Japanese style role playing game.
My main goal for the game is to deliver a dynamic story and unique JRPG gameplay. The game progression will draw more from western RPG games, whereas the gameplay elements will be drawn from Japanese RPGs. It's literally a "Western JRPG"
The battle system is "Active Turn Based" which I will elaborate on a bit more in due time.
Here's some promo shots. I'm going for a 5th generation console visual style.
Feel free to visit deathonfrontier.com for a bit more info. It's mostly just there to link to social media where you can see past progress.
Arrivederci!
