Hello folks! I’ve worked pretty hard on this and got past the difficult initial hurdles of making this demo with the kind of determination that I hope will lead to success.

The subject of this demo is the story of a Dominican monk swept up in an armed conflict between Celtic druids living deep within the inner-earth kingdom of Agartha and a secret crusade by the Catholic Church to steal sacred knowledge from Agartha and keep it to themselves.

The combat system is reminiscent of FF6, with an ATB timer and active enemies; encounters will also not be random; there are enemies on the map that will hunt you down on sight.

Rather than upgrading equipment from the store, you can buy generic crappy equipment that you will then need to customize at a blacksmith in order to get full performance out of that gear.

I really hope you enjoy my demo^^

There’s multiple things that are pretty interesting. I like the setting details, I wonder how deep you go with the whole Dominican monk, Celts, the church and so on. I suppose some things need a certain treatment just to not be offensive but also not be too shallow either. I’m also interested in knowing how historically accurate you wanna be.

I also like the details on equipment. That sounds neat, focusing on augments.

Best wishes, keep up the good work!

I really am an obsessive nerd who likes to walk that fine line between historical accuracy and creative freedom. I often slightly recontextualize facts to make them work within a premise; there’s a surprising amount of wiggle room.

Suffice it to say, historical accuracy will be 80 to 90%, allowing some flexibility.
