What are your favourite boss battles in JRPGs? #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

The tension in Guard Break's plot comes from systems breaking down- not ancient magic returning. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #rpg

Guard Break is my attempt to make the kind of JRPG I loved growing up. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

What are the key things you look for in a JRPG? #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

Aiming for the story arcs in my JRPG to feel meaningful and earned. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

Adaptive Resistance isn't a big combat mechanic, just a little nudge to stop spamming the same [non-weakness] move #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

I try to keep the dungeons in my JRPG short and sharp. They should never be a chore or grindy. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

Chrono Trigger has a single item (Heal/Panacea) that removes status effects, while most other JRPGs require a different item for every status effect. Which approach do you prefer? #rpg #jrpg

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

Guard Break's bond system is more like a temporary buff/debuff, resulting from dialogue choices. These tweak how much battle EXP those members earn when fighting together. #indiegamedev #rpg #screenshotsaturday

Pacing and brevity will be a focus of my JRPG. No one wants their time wasted. #gamedev #rpg #showmesunday

Making a low-poly JRPG to evoke something you would've played in 1997 #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

My JRPG originally started as a 2D project in Clickteam Fusion, the engine I was familiar with. But wanted a change, so started learning Unity and switched it to low-poly 3D. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

My JRPG has no central 'chosen-one' narrative. Rather a group of mostly normal people tangled in the same escalating mess. #indiegamedev #wishlistwednesday #rpg

Target enemy weaknesses to trigger a Guard Break, leaving them vulnerable for the rest of the battle. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

My JRPGs bond system adjusts battle EXP buffs for members fighting together. #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg

Post battle, benched party members will get a percentage of EXP (pic unrelated). #indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg
