Mercenary Types:  As you pick your 3 Mercenaries to battle the Christmas-haters and become Heroes of Christmas, you will be able to pick between three types of mercenaries.

Tank: Tank-type mercenaries have high survivability to protect themselves and the party. They can provoke enemies to target them in their allies' stead. Their defenses are initially strong, but most tanks aren't fit to deal heavy damage to enemies.

Nuker: Nuker-type mercenaries are the main damage dealers. They can dish out heavy physical or magical damage to the enemy ranks, but they lack the survivability to protect themselves from enemy retaliation.

[Image: Support.png]
Support:  Support-type mercenaries are versatile characters who can heal allies HP and MP, give party buffs and shields, and debuff enemies (Depending on the support character's skills.) Their survivability isn't as great as a tank's, and their damage-dealing is not as great as a nuker's, but they're rather decent at both aspects.

Elemental Triangle: Both players and enemies will have Elemental Affinities (Physical,  Force, and Arcane) and will be affected by the Elemental Triangle weakness system.

RE: Heroes of the Seasons - Starmage - 01-05-2024

Hi everyone! This game, an entry to the RM Christmas Jam, Heroes of the Seasons, is a boss-rush turn-based RPG with tons of characters with different skill sets to choose from.

I humbly come to you all as a dev with dreams, and I'm asking for some kind donations, for, I am currently raising 100$ to avail art makeover by Berry for this game. I would appreciate it so much, and any amount will do just so we can reach that goal and finally have custom consistent art for my game that I plan to release on Steam soon as a commercial game.

The samples below showcase the before and after of how Berry can redo the RTP busts, and you can see the skeleton bust done by him as well for this project. You will also see the girl in red alongside the RTP busts, which is done by him. Once I reach the goal, this game promises to deliver that all busts shall be redone in his art style to bring a unique custom feel to the game upon release.
"Actors' RTP busts will be remade with the Custom assets to match"
"Actor Busts that the Artist (Berry) has sampled for me so far"
"The bust inconsistency that can be fixed once I reach my fund goals"
"Cameo chars from the Christmas Jam Entries Sample"

Any of the kind and generous people who have lent me their aid no matter the amount, please let me know, and you shall be given a special thanks in the game, and a free copy/steam key of it upon release. Thank you so much for hearing me. ^^

If you need a video of the gameplay to see if this game is worth your time and investment, then Slaughty  made an LP of the game demo for you to check out:

I would be so honored for any donations. Bless your kind hearts. <3

I would like to thank my family and friends who have been supportive of me for this. And I would like to thank Berry, the Main artist of this game who worked with me to help me with the final boss design, battle balancing + testing, making an epic trailer + steam promotional art for me, and supporting me so much throughout the development of this game. Thank you to the amazing generous people who donated to this game's crowdfunding that made it possible for me to avail the custom arts services and steam slot for this game. (I will be sending the keys to you, shortly) Thank you to the testers who helped me with feedback and testing this game to improve, and to the people who also gave their insight while this game was under development. Thank you to the 5 people who mysteriously voted this game's demo on the Christmas Jam "Fan Favourite" resulting in the demo winning the award. Thank you to the wonderful people of RMW who hosted and judged during the Christmas Jam for giving me the opportunity to make this game + give their feedback to it as well. And lastly, I wish to thank god/source and my spiritual guides and ancestors for giving me the strength to carry on.

Developing this game to its commercial version consisted of so many sleepless nights and overthinking during the holidays, but it was so much fun and it really allowed me to express my passion and creativity in making RPGs.

With that said, it means so much to me to finally have my second commercial release, and I couldn't have done it without all of you. I hope everyone interested in trying this passion project will enjoy it. Have an amazing day everyone! And stay awesome with your game dev and gamer journeys alike! <3
