I wish instead of making Earthbound-inspired RPGs, indies would make RPGs similar to the original Phantasy Star games.

@xianc78 you can make those kinds of dungeon crawlers in RPG Maker. usually it's reserved for more weird/surreal games though instead of "real" RPGs.
@beardalaxy Are you talking about the pseudo-3D dungeons? I'm just talking about the science fantasy setting.
@xianc78 yeah, the dungeons. that makes sense though lol. i can't think of any immediately off the top of my head. i'd check rpgmaker.net but they're down at the moment, experiencing some difficulties after their server host finally shut down after being on life support for years.
@xianc78 it's funny you mention this though, because before making God's Disdain, back in high school, i was working on a game called Space Heroes. it was about a group of brilliant teenagers who were recruited to work at the United Alliance Space Colony to defeat an alien menace that destroyed a UA ship. it didn't get too far, like most of older projects, but i still have all of the files haha.
in particular, there was a guy who made the music for the game who went HARD and he did it all for free. kind of sad i let him down. no idea where he's at now, can't find anything about him online and the place we talked is gone now.
that's one of the biggest reasons i've been wanting to get God's Disdain done. so many people worked on it man, gave their time to it on my behalf. don't wanna' let them down and let their work go to waste like i did with a bunch of other people in high school when i had no idea what i was doing.
@beardalaxy It's not like Phantasy Star unless in incorporates both science AND magic.
