The last heroes

Rumi Planet StrongholdOr better the latest heroes to be drawn for Planet Stronghold are on their way. You can see Rumi on this post on the right, she is a Psionicist and she’s blind since she was born. Once colored I think will be an awesome addition to the pool of characters already present in the game.

If I have some time next month probably will make a page on the official game website with the whole cast of characters you’ll meet in the game. Almost all are heroes you can control in the battle, but there are a few exception like the Royal Family (King, Queen and Prince) and some very minor robot servants.

I’m really pleased of the final appearance of Planet Stronghold, is probably going to be one of my most beautiful games, at least in term of artworks! Of course I’ll do my best to make even the story and the gameplay to be as good as the visuals 😉

A few last words about the beta testing which should start hopefully next month: in the first phase (open beta) you’ll be able to download the game, which has an autopatcher/updater system so that everytime you launch it, will notify you if there’s a new version available, and download it. I plan to make this part of testing free, until at about 20-30% of the game, then the closed-beta will start and people who want to experience the game immediately will be able to pre-order the game at discounted price and download it immediately with the autoupdater.

During the beta I hope people will send bug reports and/or make feedback comments to my forums to help me increase the game quality.

Once the game is finished (ended the closed beta-test phase successfully) will be released normally as my other games. I know other devs that had great results with this system so I’ve decided to try it myself!

    Any relation to the Sufi Rumi?

    By the way how do you intend to flesh out the universe this tale takes place in? Through conversations, books or something else?

      Hmm no, TBH I stumbled into the name Rumi while choosing a random japanese name 😀
      Being a more casual/light RPG, the game will be told through short dialogues, telling mainly the story of the main characters (the female private Lisa Nelson). I plan to add a Scientific Lab that has also a sort of mega-library with lots of information about the universe, but will be optional, since for example some people complained about the beginning of Bionic Heart, saying it was too long to introduce everything that happened on earth in 2099 🙂
