ABOUT THIS GAME
Alterium Shift is a retro JRPG inspired indie game with three unique story paths.
Story:
Choose between three heroes in training; Pyra, Atlas, and Sage. Their teacher, Dolion, strives to mold his students into heroes, ones better than himself. The three heroes are taking their final test before being sent off on an important and life changing mission. Each character has a unique story path to experience and each path is filled with choices that are directed by the player. What fate awaits these heroes and can they accomplish the tasks set forth before them?


PYRA                        ATLAS                          SAGE

Each character will have an on-map ability that allows them to explore areas the others can't. For instance, Pyra can slice through rocks and Atlas and shoot far off targets. Find hidden treasure or even experience story based elements!

The level of detail contained within this project looks amazing. Was this built with Smile Game Builder or is this some kind of RPG Maker project?

Initial impression : The Legend of Zelda - A Link Between Worlds meets Secret of Mana.

Thank you for sharing this with us, I'm bookmarking it and checking it out whenever I find the time to do so.

Actually, Drattzy Games started with Smile Game Builder as the starting point, and then used its Unity Exporter to bring the finished project into Unity for things like lighting and some shaders, as well as some extra scripting support.

THere are actually quite a few videos on how they achieved that perfect blend of pixel art, The Octopath Traveller Tutorial series is just one playlist I enjoy.
