Project Coastal

A classic PS1 inspired JRPG

The pitch.

Well, here goes - I'm Ryan and I'm building a video game. It's not much yet, and it's not much to look at - but humble beginnings are the starting place for any project, regardless of the group at the helm. I'm hoping that it'll grow and change along with an audience and eventually grow into a project that'll bring people a lot of happiness.

It's under development, but I'm working every day and I'll post devlogs whenever I have a breakthrough, new content or something to share

I hope I can grow an audience, but for now I'll eject into the internet void and keep working. I hope you, reader - keep up with updates and give the devlog a read every so often. Consider this a living document.

The pitch is this -

JRPGs released on PS1 were among the most beloved on any platform, but the style of 3D rendered pixel art in the detail of the PS1 era has fallen off. I want to bring some of that back with a story to match.

The story.

Whispers have plagued your waking and sleeping hours for years, floating in and out at random.

After years of unsuccessful schooling you're sent to a highly-regarded finishing school on the coast, a change of pace from the rural surroundings you've grown up in.

But - upon reaching the school and settling in,other students start wandering into the waves in the night, their cold corpses  washed up on beaches nearby in the morning.

And the whispers start getting louder...
