NEBELSOFT'S PROFILE

author=Nebelsoft
"Project Azoth"(Working Title) is a casual but sweet and entertaining little dungeon crawler with a few supporting mini quests and a non-restricting storyline.
You play as a young man named "Hiro", who finds himself in a small, desolate town called "Yonaguni", literally in the middle of the ocean.
After there it seems like there is nothing much left to do in town, Hiro decides to become a "Tower Explorer".
The tower is filled with dangerous monsters - and very hard to conquer. The exact number of floors is unknown, but they all seem to be themed after natural elements.
Hiro can build up relationships with the townspeople / the pretty girls and has to take care of his Elemental-Homunculi.


Azoth is designed to be a game of medium length (maybe 8 hours).
It is inspired by Dungeon Crawlers like "Azure Dreams".
All of this game's visual content is completely original and custom made.

Pixel graphics (sprites / icons / tilesets / HUD and effects ) are made by me. (Nebelstern)
Illustration Art (Character avatars / title screen) by the professional(game-illustration) artist Ninjin Shiru.
Gameplay mechanics (action battle system / script) XAS classic / original
It is a zelda-like action battle system.
Music (various tracks) is borrowed from various games and other sources, that are going to be listed soon.
Sound (all) sounds are sounds from royaltiy free open sources.

reason (apart from money) for not switching to a newer maker is probably that after using XP for about seven years now, I've finally got somewhat of a feeling for how the program works, and I don't really feel like learning the characteristics of a new maker now. Guess I'll stick with XP 'till the end.

SaGa Frontier. It was universally panned when it came out. Everybody I knew personally was saying "I rented it and it sucked". Maybe it was riding too close to FF7's coattails.
Granted, it has a cult fanbase now.

But then there's SaGa Frontier 2 :D That one's just straight up universally panned except by me.

SaGa Frontier got a lot of stick, but it was one of my favorites during its time of release. I seem to remember SaGa Frontier 2 got a positive reception though--it was a beautiful game and it addressed some of the mechanical problems that 1 suffered from.

I really enjoyed 2, but I felt Gustave's scenario was cut short a bit early, especially compared to the three generations of the Knights family. I saw it through to the end, but I must admit that I lost interest by the time Ginny took center stage. I'll take political intrigue over MacGuffin-hunting any day.
