Intro song to set the mood for the gametest here:

Project:Soul

Since time has been reverted creatures and monsters are crawling out of their holes to gather "time". "Reset the world clock". Probably the last sentence our heroine Zephia remembers before waking up in front of a clock tower without any clue who she is and why she's even there. At her side is Nova. He's Zephias companion and the key trigger to her abilitys. Together they're trying to find out what happened to the world and to her. 

My dear Kohais!

SO THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN US!

The Team

CURRENTLY, we're a team of two people - Gamedevelopment, Art & Socialmedia is managed by myself dekisenpaitm. All of the music & sound effects are created and managed by nicosenpaitm.  Nico is one of my best friends and has created music for about 15+ years. I'm very much a beginner and started my gamedev/art journey around April 2022 - you see I'm still learning so please bear this in mind when giving feedback haha..haha....ha *nervous laugther*. 

BUT THERE's MORE! Exactly one more guy! Please WELCOME David! He'll be joining the project from now on & since he has a lot of experience in gamedev and coding in general you'll be amazed how much more the two of us can now handle!

The general idea is to split the programming work - Additionaly since we're 2 Devs now, I can look a bit deeper into tilemaps, animations, boss designs and much more! So I really hope you're ready for this! <3 Also THANK YOU DAVID. Not only for all the support the last months but for joining on this adventure with me!

Our Goal

We to create a modern Zelda pixelarty RPG influenced by some Dark Souls aspects with additional features! Here are some special function (not talking about core functions) I'd love to implement:

  • A follower system - follower transforms into different weapons and can change attributes by crafting/looting certain items.
  • Additional weapons which can be summoned and refined~ and by additional I mean a lot! Each with a special skill/movement pattern.
  • Three different summon weapon types - Melee, Ranged, Support.
  • Attribute/Skill upgrade through certain items rather then grinding hours for exp.
  • Different story endings (not gonna spoil too much here, hehe)

and more!

CURRENTLY KNOW BUGS THAT WILL BE FIXED:

UI vanishes after teleporting -> talk to NPC to any NPC to softfix


Arin quest is skippable [throne room] no major issue


Boss doesnt take dmg -> MAJOR ISSUE. Will be hottfixed asap


speed bug -> if it happens just die in the game & speed will be reset


moonwalking -> use the ESC button to open menu click "i'm stuck" if it doesnt work die in game.


nova is not attacking -> reset after die in game

This bugs have been addressed! If you still encounter one of these let me know please!!

So, HOTFIX is out now! Sorry for the short delay peeps <3

wow, the first battle is absolutely brutal.

hehe~ >:D YES! It's meant to be really hard, but don't give up! Try to use your tools as good as possible! Summon your weapons and if I may give u a hint Sword>Bow>Staff ;) Have fun & Good luck! TYSM for trying it out <3

yeah but no one explains to you how to use the tools. That's makes the learning curve to sharp for most new users to appreciate.

absolutely right, there's still a guide in the beginnig. I'm still planning like a practice room so u can try stuff out :) and pbl going to balance stuff a bit :D Thank you for your feedback!!!

its the time when the story begins

Yes! Pretty soon ☺️✨
