For those who don&#8217;t know what it is, I&#8217;m currently also building the official website which will also contain more info about the story and each character, but for now I can tell you what you&#8217;ll find in the game:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>a manga sci-fi roleplaying game<\/strong> &#8211; with beautiful art and really varied characters (not all the same good-looking boys\/girls you find in manga games)<\/li>\n<li><strong>two different heroes to choose<\/strong> (male \/ female) &#8211; The choice will only impact the romance and few situations in the game, but the statistics \/ skills \/ gameplay will have no differences<\/li>\n<li><strong>battle system<\/strong> &#8211; similar to those you find in JRPG titles and a gameplay similar to adventure games<\/li>\n<li><strong>romace option<\/strong> &#8211; romance was always present in all my recent story-based game and this won&#8217;t be an exception, including new homosexual romance option for both the male \/ female characters! The romance is entirely optional so if you&#8217;re not interested in it, you won&#8217;t see it at all (you won&#8217;t have the chance to stumble in it by accident)<\/li>\n<li><strong>relationship system<\/strong> &#8211; with any of the 8 charaters beside the main hero. Keep them happy to increase their skills, piss them off and if you push it too much they could even leave your party!<\/li>\n<li><strong>autoupdating<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m experimenting with an autoupdate system that should allow me to release updates on server-side, and players to download only the changed part. No more &#8220;redownload the whole game to get latest update&#8221; like before! \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Instead what you won&#8217;t find on the game:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>tilemaps <\/strong>&#8211; if you&#8217;re a RPGMaker fan, sorry to disappoint, but I really preferred to concentrate my time on writing the story and characters interactions than mapmaking. There will be\u00a0 a generic map to move from a location to the other though<\/li>\n<li><strong>puzzles <\/strong>&#8211; since I&#8217;m building this game system from scratch, for this first game I want to concentrate more on the battles, the skills, the statistics and variety of enemies, than puzzles. However I&#8217;ll have an interesting character training system. More on this later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>offline play<\/strong> &#8211; to play most of the game past the alpha version you&#8217;ll need to be online. Partly to protect me from piracy, but also to offer new features like achievements, autoupdates, new missions \/ maps \/ weapons \/ items and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Are you still here? Good because now comes the good part, the download links:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.didone.com\/games\/PSDemo.exe\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.didone.com\/games\/PSDemo.exe<\/a> (Pc Version)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.didone.com\/games\/PSDemo.zip\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.didone.com\/games\/PSDemo.zip<\/a> (Mac Version)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.didone.com\/games\/PSDemo.tar.bz2\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.didone.com\/games\/PSDemo.tar.bz2<\/a> (Linux Version)<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love to get feedback on gameplay and\/or any bugs you encounter. Especially for the mac and linux platform, since I have already many testers on Pc! The build uses a very new version of Ren&#8217;Py game engine so you should be able to play with openGL acceleration enabled (press key F to go fullscreen).<\/p>\n<p>Thanks and I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy the first alpha, even if is quite short for now \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m proud to finally announce the first public Alpha of my next game Planet Stronghold.
