I would normally be posting this on the stickied Kickstarter thread in the Modern Games sub-forum, but this Kickstarter is very special because my good friend is actually behind this one!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1893030398/metals0na?ref=category_newestA little about the my friend, Loren, the creator of this project, and the project itself.
I met Loren via the local collecting community here in Colorado about 4-years ago. For years he was an avid video game collector, at one time amassing a very impressive collection of retro games; particularly JRPGs, his favorite genre. However, his real ambition was to make a game just as awesome as many that he grew up playing like Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, and Panzer Dragoon Saga to name a few. About a year ago he made a huge decision and sold the majority of his collection in order to fund his dream of making his own JRPG-style gaming using traditional turn based combat in combination with various other combat elements to make battles more dynamic and interesting. After a year of work and literally hundreds of hours of creating a concept and gameplay, he has finally released his Kickstarter this morning. Metals0na.
The Kickstarter page will do the game more justice than I ever could by explaining it here, but I posted some pics on here for you too see before clicking on it.
