About
Galactical Maiden Ciel is a dungeon-based RPG with dating sim and strategy elements. Unlike other RPGs, Galactical Maiden Ciel features a rogue/thief-oriented dungeon which means that abilities such as stealth, detecting traps, opening locks, deciphering ancient runes, and diplomacy will play an important role in the game.
Story
In a desolate desert in the Middle East, a group of scientists uncover an ancient ruin of an alien civilization known as the Dogma Empire. As they enter the ruin, they find its inhabitants in suspended animation. It does not take long until they begin to awake from their slumber and unleash their terrible power on the unfortunate scientists and soon ... the world.
Characters
Umenomiya Kana is one of the scientists captured by the Dogma Empire. She becomes the subject of an experiment to create a powerful Dogma warrior and had a Ciel System installed within her body. Alice manages to save her just before Dogma scientists initiate the brainwashing procedure. Together, they make their escape from the ruin. However, this leaves the installation of her Ciel System uncompleted and untested.
Umenomiya Alice is an intelligent battle android created by Kana's late father. She was captured along with Kana but managed to free herself with the help of a mysterious person. She proceeds to free her mistress and they escape the ruin together. After this event, she gradually begins to act and think like a human, which changes her relationship with Kana.
Kagura Himiko is a fierce Empress of Yamatai. Thousands of years ago, she commanded 4 starbeasts to defeat and seal Emperor Goram of Dogma Empire and his minions in the ancient ruin. According to legend, she put a spell on herself which make her fall into an eternal sleep as long as Goram’s seal is intact. However, Goram's recent awakening has not broken the spell as intended and the world continues to fall into despair.
Christina Bellmionne was one of the archeologists who worked along Kana’s father in early research of Starbeasts and the Dogma Empire. She went missing after the incident that claimed the lives of her colleagues.
Features
1. Dungeon Exploration
* Experience a rogue-oriented dungeon with traps, locks, ambushes, and magical seals instead of the usual bash-everything-in-sight!
* Room-based dungeons similar to those in Riviera - The Promised Lands.
2. Semi Real-time Turn Based Battle
* Higher agility will bring your turn faster.
* Beautifully animated sprites.
* As the battle progresses, Ciel Overdrive gauge will be filled, unlocking a powerful Overdrive Attack. This attack depletes Kana's HP, so use it wisely.
3. Area Management System
* Genbu, one of the giant starbeasts, will serve as Kana's mothership.
* Defend cities from the Dogma Empire's attacks.
* Choosing which area to attack/defend can be decisive to humanity's survival
4. Schedule Management System
* 3 scheduled activities to choose from: Gymnastics, Meditation, and Research.
* Gymnastic will give physical points which can be used to raise physical stats and skills. These will be useful mostly during battle (improving physical damage, chance to dodge, etc.) and dungeon exploration (avoiding traps, etc.).
* Meditation will give mental points which can be used to raise mental stats and skills. These will be useful mostly during battle (magical skills, etc) and conversation (noticing lies, persuading people).
* Research will give research points which can be used to improve Kana's Ciel form's abilities and weaponry.
5. Dating Sim
* 2 girls to date ( Alice and Himiko )

Team
So far it's only me, but I'll hire a composer and one or two editors/proofreaders later when the game is almost finished. Depending on how the writing goes, I might also hire a writer to help me.
Special thanks to Lemuel for the proofreading
