Beauty and the beasties.



<span class="bold">Soul Saga</span>, a colorful love letter to the beloved JRPG classics, is coming soon, DRM-free on GOG.com!

What better place than the beautiful, fractured continent of Oterra, for the whimsical adventures of young Mithos and his band of unlikely companions to unfold? Dealing with the echos of a cataclysmic event that forever changed the land hundreds of years ago, this lovely bunch will employ advanced turn-based tactics, strong magics, cute animations, and lovely melodies to subdue the many bizarre creatures on their path. And when they want to get a better view of this vibrant world, they can just hop on their rad airship and fly to other, equally stunning yet deeply troubled parts of the floating islands that once made Oterra. Treasure, danger, and oddly-shaped enemies await them there but also secrets they may not be ready for yet.



Wishlist <span class="bold">Soul Saga</span> and explore a lush world with a giant JRPG heart beating at its core, coming soon, DRM-free on GOG.com.

I'll definitely keep an eye on the game.

Just a question...your bio says you grew up on a miniature horse farm in Michigan?

*looks around* Somebody go round up tinyE! Inquiring minds want to know if this is really just a coincidence!

In the meantime, thanks for stopping by! We appreciate developer presence. I hadn't heard of your project before, and "Soul Saga" looks appealing, so I'll be keeping an eye on your progress.

Graphics-wise, no indie dev can win with GOG forumites unless it's 2D traditional animation that takes forever to do. :P

Not my genre, but it looks very promising; I wish you best of luck, sales-wise! :)

I did! My parents have a world conquering army of them. I think there's still around 100 mini's on their farm (it was significantly over that at some point).

Thank you very much for the warm welcome. Chatting with fans is my favorite part of being an indie gamedev. =)

I understand! Soul Saga's art contributors were able to produce amazing work in consideration of my low budget, but 3D JRPG indie games are a rarity for the reason you've stated. Personally, I feel Soul Saga's graphics are at a level that I'm very proud to show off. And many would say that story is much more important, though that's always subjective! =D

Smannesman: The graphics don't look that great in the screenshots, but the Skies of Arcadia vibe is nice.
Its a indie project and the creator,s first game project.
There wasnt too many people working on the game either.
I think there was one guy doing most of it + hired musicians/soundguys and some artists.
The programming is one guy only i have heard, migth be wrong about that.

I really dont think one shoud expect an AAA game.
People shoud rather play it and maybe be suprised if its better than the generic indie game they are expecting.

Edit :
Im not saying that there arent awesome inde games out there.
Just that Indie games do tend to be generic unless its trying some new ideas
or a concept that arent used as much.

Edit 2 :
To the creator
From the screenshot,s and what i read about it, it looks nice.
I have to play it before i can give any honest and fair feedback though.
so whislisted to later try i guess.

Some of the forum users here can be crotchety about art they deem "cheap" or "lazy" (usually pixel art), but I and I'm sure many others think it looks good!

I'm not judging it based by AAA standards, it just doesn't look great.
It looks alright, but some better lighting would make a world of difference IMO.
There is no way to judge the gameplay so all I've got to base my opinion on is the screenshots.

Exactly, even for an indie game the lighting is entirely sub-par. It looks like a WIP that only has local lights implemented.

The modelling is solid, the texture work is fine, the animations are decent, but the lighting is so bad to the point of absent that it makes everything look completely flat, lifeless and unfinished.

Looks nice and already got a place in my wishlist. I'm glad that this time King Software held back on suing for the Saga word :D
Btw. I also think that the textures look pretty, but the lighting does need a bit of work.
Also I'm glad to see more games with cute artwork instead of the more usual pixel art these days (which I don't really like that much).

How soon might "coming soon" be? Next week? Next month? Any time this year?
Posted January 18, 2017
Thank you for the feedback, everyone. As an indie and the only full time developer on the project, AAA graphics and lighting were never a goal of mine. Quality of story, gameplay, and inclusiveness are the top goals of my games. Most importantly, I have to make sure whatever is in Soul Saga can run on as many machines as possible. However, after I've focused on making Soul Saga as fun as possible, I'll look into Unity's lighting system (more) and see what I can do that won't exclude fans with weaker computers. Thanks again for all the great feedback. I'm flattered Soul Saga has caught your attention in the sea of games coming out lately. =)

That did give me and Soul Saga fans a scare for a while!
