I tried Starless Umbra by @starlessumbra.com! Although I didn’t finish it (dunno if I hit a bug or I’m just stupid), this was a great game! Combat, puzzles, customization, there’s a lot to love here and I’m looking forward to this game’s future! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/MMtWDLqFOjE?...

Played some of that @starlessumbra.com
You'd think by presentation it'd be something like Secret of Mana 2 but the systems feel more like a PS2 title. A lot of systems, a lot of minigames. Very fun. Worth following, I think.

Fran has really helped take this game's animations to the next level. I'm so excited to see how things shape up this year.

I like to do these periodic dream sequences, I feel they're a staple in the genre. Hopefully the parallax effect isn't too forced?

Hi #gamedev!
Starless Umbra is a co-op JRPG inspired by Xenoblade Chronicles / Secret of Mana / Super Mario RPG, developed in my spare time. This started as a hobby RPG Maker project developed from 2002-2013, and rebooted in #gamemaker in 2020. Pleased to meet you!
