About the Project & Genre:
Meet the Sominia Project (Project's website with more concept art and information on the project: http://www.sominia.com): a tight-knit team developing a Strategy/Tactical based RPG with an enhanced VN style of storytelling. We are currently in the early prototype development stage in building our first commercial grade game as a startup organization.
Game is being built in Unity complete with battle system, Inventory system, and other game features. Battle System is a turn-based isometric style with illustrated elements. We were originally in Ren'Py until we decided that Unity would be a better fit for our game engine.
Here is some images from concept, assets, mock-ups, etc
The plot is set in a High Fantasy style including dark fantasy elements and with the help of my talented writing team (led by a published author) we have crafted and world-built something amazing that was once a simple manuscript I wrote for a hobby. Script-writing is currently underway.
The team currently consists of several talented staff members and currently we’re trying to fill in the rest of the positions as we set our sights on the first complete prototype/working demo scheduled to be completed no later than May of 2016. The plan is to have a maximum of 30 people at most (or if needed) during the development stage and expanding if there is a need. Our goal is to show that even a small studio can make a professional grade game and raise the bar.
What about compensation?
We are currently a work for hire project (Rev-share). Basically no one will be getting compensated unless we release a successful game which, as we get closer to a release everyone would be given a compensation package to sign.
