I don't know if people still exist here, but I am Kickstarting a new game! Cosmic Century Knights is inspired by retro fantasy anime/Manga and JRPGS. It blends robust worldbuilding with flexible mechanics to empower creativity without losing satisfying crunch.

One has a flaming sword drawn a s the look past the hamlet towards two menacing giants. Behind the giants are rolling green hills before a towering mountain range. A gigantic futuristic sword is lodged in the mountain with a wonderful city built around where the blade meets the mountains.

Peter: Wow, Johnny Storm! I hope I don't say anything embarrassing like admitting that I'm in love with him. Johnny: I really like this guy. I want to spend time with him and impress him in ways I never do with other romantic partners. BETTER NOT THINK ABOUT THAT TOO HARD.

I just hope that Peter and Johnny have some form of dialogue in game
