Plan for Elye C. Sackmary

The RPG 'construction kit' that is now in pre-production will be an easy to use yet powerful tool for making 2d RPG games. Users will be able to select from tile based or 'Baldur's Gate' style backgrounds and maps, and will have an array of customizable 3d spell effects and other graphic flourishes to add to the experience.

Every bit of media will be customizable, including character sprites, tile art, backgrounds, music, vocal effects, and more. Furthermore, a friendly scripting language will provide the means to institute all the classic gameplay options expected of this genre. Our goal is to allow novices to produce fun games using the media that will ship with the program, but also provide plenty of room for advanced users to import their own materials as they see fit.

In addition, the 'construction kit' will ship with a full length single player RPG game to be developed using exclusively the same tools available to all users of the 'kit'. This game, named 'Imperium', is also in the pre-production phase.

We hope to allow people to produce quality RPG games in any style from that of the classic Final Fantasy games to more modern PC style RPG's like Planescape: Torment and Baldur's Gate.
