Soulstealer (Independent Project)

Soulstealer is a dark fantasy JRPG made in RPG Maker MZ that I am developing using a mix of personally created and premade assets. It exists as a foray into RPG design that not only requires me to design with considerations to technical implementation, but also to design mechanics and quests that fit a grander narrative theme.

Soulstealer features several unique mechanics, such as a refreshable consumable that allows players to escape combat encounters, which alters the decision making and risk assessment that a player has to perform, as well as the flagship skill Soul Siphon, which allows the players to obtain one-time usable abilities from the souls of their enemies.

Soulstealer was a fantastic learning experience for not only the intricacies of a new engine, RPG Maker MZ, but also an opportunity for me to flex my game and progression design strengths while revisiting my quest and narrative design skillsets.
