Guard Break | JRPG

🔥 Guard Break is a low-poly love letter to late '90s JRPGs. A tightly paced story of political tension, broken people, and a crisis that keeps escalating. #TeaseYaGame #gamedev #rpg

JRPG dialogue and scenes should build the narrative, not pad the runtime. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

@jjenson280 Still tinkering with them, but theyre currently most useful in boss fights as bosses can be inflicted with ailments.

@SuddenKebab What's your approach to status ailments? They're often useless in jrpgs since normal battles don't last long enough for them to be helpful and bosses are usually made straight up immune to most of them.

Boss battles should be a new problem to solve, not just a bigger health bar. #indiegamedev #gamedev #wishlistwednesday

@Demaeter Thank you 😎

@SuddenKebab Enjoyed the demo looking forward for the full game whenever its done 😎

JRPGs should respect your time. Not every character needs chime into each conversation point. #indiegamedev #gamedev #wishlistwednesday

@DportStudios "90s marinade"... I like it 😎

See, now. When you take everyone's op8nion of FFX being the best combat but then you low-poly genius it becomes ultra genius cause then your brain starts to work in that 90's marinade. You start to infer the pop out story book interactive experience starts to take hold.

No one stays benched! Switch in/out extra party members at any time. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

Guard Break's bond system is simple- dialogue choices alter party bonds, which tweak how much battle EXP they earn when fighting together. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

Nobody in my JRPG joins the team because 'destiny'. They all have their own reasons, and not all of them line up. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

My JRPG presents a tightly paced adventure built on political intrigue, flawed characters, and a crisis spiraling out of control. #indiegamedev #rpg #ScreenshotSaturday
