Current state: Early development

​​

Crystal Chronicles (name is to be changed later) is a Role playing game currently being

develope in RPG Maker MV. This game is being developed by a team of three people,

including myself, fellow game designer Roan van Drie and narrative writer Adam Rowe.​

​

Crystal Chronicles is a role playing game based on a intriguing story that follows the journey of Zayn and Ceren, who gets themselves tied into a plot that will change their lives as they know it, while on a quest to save Zayn's ill sister.

 

It is a simple old RPG game with turn based combat set in a medieval fantasy world with swords and magic. In this world a mysterious sickness is spreading turning people into crystals. But what is the cause of this sickness? And can it be cured? This is what our main characters will try to find out in an effort to save Zayn's little sister and fellow villagers in the town of Arduinna. Follow their journey to uncover the mysteries behind the sickness.

​

My role in this project is that of the project manager this means that I focus on providing clear and structured project documents to ensure that gameplay intentions are understood and that team members are working on the right elements at the right times so that there is as little delay as possible.

​

Besides my role as a project manager I also work as a game designer on this project. I started with the narrative work on the story and dialogue for the first 2 chapters which since then has been taken over by Adam. Now I am working on the balancing and combat aspects as well as the eventing, plugins and cutscenes of the game.

​

Most of the assets used in this project are  standard assets provided by the RPG Maker MV engine, and the characters are made through a character generator with the assets provided. Any other assets that have been used will be placed within the credit screen in the game.
