Hello everyone, this is my first post within the community as I've only ever used it to house my game files for friends to play, but now I'm ready to expose it to strangers and leave my comfort zone.
'Destined: Lost Fate' is the draft name of this project that never quite left, and as someone who doesn't actually play JRPGs you have a true outcast's take on this fascinating, cult-making genre. So far this game has been worked on for a couple of years but without good knowledge or insight I truly have no inclines as to the quality of my product, despite describing it as the best of my ability, since I truly have obsessed over literally every aspect of it, from pacing and environments to the dedicated website that I use to host it. Here's some in-game pictures:
The game was made using RPG Maker MV when it came out, and being my first game-making software ever (apart from Sploder.com) it took a few months to learn and get to the stage where I felt confident that my vision could be achieved, since storytelling was a main focus before I even knew I was going to use a game format to tell it.
I truly want some feedback from people who maybe love this genre or just want to give this game a go from the curiosity that I haven't used anything as a template and just let the game create itself with guidance from my imagination. The demo is pretty short I'm guessing, with an average playtime of 30 - 40 mins.

I also have a site that is the heart and soul of my journey as an indie dev, it focuses on devlogs (and later on a database of weapons and enemies) that I release at the beginning of the months where I have something to report. I have a lot of passion for this project and my end goal is creating something that some people can enjoy and maybe form a small community of people who support me through this, as I have no idea how long the full-game will take to finish given the only person motivating me is myself.
Anyways, sorry if I've come across in a weird or unusual way, I'm not usually the one to expose myself to others, but this dream project of mine needs someone who can push it's potential and leave their comfort zone.
Happy gaming! ~ EtherChimera
