A bit of background to the game for those who are interested:
A few years ago started studying programming and art in order to make an rpg based on the games I played when I was younger. Rpgs these days seemed either far too linear or had some sort of gimmick such as roguelikes elements or deckbuilding so I figured, hey, if no one was making the kind of more hardcore rpg any more I would just do it myself.
I want to recreate that non linear experience games used to have. A big open world, send players out to just explore and find dungeons, quests and stories on their own. It's also quite challenging, there is no level scaling, and it's up to players how they approach things.

It was a great pleasure to compose the music, looking forward to sharing more tracks for Lair of the Leviathan! 🎵

[@aleksdeveloper698]

I was just going to say great music, well done

[@duedecimal6622]

reminded me of Frieren's Zoltraak

[@christianwonmusic]

@@aleksdeveloper698 thank you so much :)

[@MonolytMusic]

"All locations are hand crafted, no procedural generation."
YES

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Nothing against procedural generation, but I miss the old hand made stuff, especially dungeons. I'm glad there are some people out there who feel the same!

[@ChicCanyon]

Hand crafted you say? So not a roguelike?
You have my attention

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Absolutely. No Roguelike elements, no deckbuilding, no procedural generation, no random gen other than some random encounters.

[@ChicCanyon]

@nostalgicrealmsstudio i have no gripes with random encounters.
Ive wishlisted this on steam and will absolutely be checking out your final product.
Cant wait to see what your vision looks like.

[@reinsol387]

This looks dope, wishlisted!

[@Dave-vk1or]

Really looking forward to this game!

[@frankhoppe1834]

this is instant wishlist for me!

[@KLNDR]

Wishlisted so hard! 🙌🏻 can't wait for the demo! I'd definitely love to have this on PS5 or Switch, but I get if it's even just way too early to request for a small dev outfit. With an aesthetic this strong, I'd happily go to Steam. Good luck man! 🤩

[@deckardmanne]

This looks amazing!

[@JustaGuy2.0]

That looks simply amazing.
Wishlisted!

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Thank you. I appreciate that :)

[@floydyutiamco]

Looking forward to play this game

[@Somulo]

Game looking super classy, style is 11/10

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Thank you!

[@CrumpetsNBiscuits]

This looks real nice

[@androsforever500]

I'm liking everything I see, reminds me of the amiga days

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Thank you. That's what I'm going for so I'm happy to hear it.

[@asdfgoogle]

Sweet looking game! I'm excited for it's release. Gonna add it to my steam wishlist!

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Thank you, I'm happy yo hear that.

[@Kelderek]

You have my sword.

[@AlastairGames]

nice job!

[@colorcommentary3009]

I heard wishlisting helps so I wishlisted it. It looks great!

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Thank you! Yes, it helps a lot. Not just to keep developers motivated but steam usually promotes your game more depending on how many wishlists you have.

[@pedroschurmann3345]

Looks great, will it be avilable on GOG?

[@sindred]

Wish listed and very interested.

[@smugglersstudio]

Awsome man!

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Thank you

[@Dravenfrost]

This looks amazing, but I can't help but want my party on the right side facing left instead of the left side facing right, hopefully there's an option to switch it.

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Thank you. Actually, the combat is hex based on a small battle field so you can move your characters around. Usually you start on the right but sometimes it will be the left or even the middle with enemies on both sides (or every side during ambushes)

[@zenithquasar9623]

This looks grouse!

[@phero2]

Devs old enough to have played "Moonstone" on the Amiga?

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

You better believe it! I grew up playing games from that era. Moonstone was one of my favourite games and a big inspiration for my art style.

[@Katiriaa84]

Wow I love it!

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

Looks like Moonstone. Nice.

[@allanlomas5133]

This looks almost too good

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

I hope as it goes along it can look even more too good!

[@Adventsol]

It looks epic ! Do we have a relase date ; or year ; cant wait to try it !

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

I appreciate that, thank you.! Not yet. I want it to be as polished and as much content as possible. Hopefully a demo will be out soon though.

[@foodbyseb1701]

Neat

[@fryjoinn7251]

GOOD GAME

[@Lion-qf6fv]

Any information about the story out there?

[@danielgross6992]

Any chance of it coming out on consoles?

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Consoles are definitely on the way. What do you usually play on?

[@VelocityFX06]

Only on monopoly steam.

[@nostalgicrealmsstudio]

Also planning consoles and GOG

[@Arizona9001]

How come

[@Raul195]

Looks awesome, but fuck those fonts, man :D
