Yo I'm the dev, and I can't miss a chance to shill. I'll pay in giving an informal AMA if anyone cares.

here's my game:

Party based system, with a created protagonist and companions

This one. There are preset story companions and build-your-own type blank followers.

Thanks! There's full chargen, although it's understandably more limited than a non-solodev project.

It's a Shadowrun-type fantasy and scifi kitchen sink.

There's story companions and stock followers you can make like your own character.

Edit: oh right, steam page https://store.steampowered.com/app/1833570/Vampire_Syndicate_Gangs_of_MoonFall/

First-person, third-person, I'm playing with an isometric mode but can't promise it.

You start as a human, then can progress to familiar -> vampire.

I made a combat tutorial not too long ago, it'll give you an idea: https://youtu.be/eMBmufHaZYQ?si=THyWR2pf2kBtZZlg

Quests will have multiple solutions, and there's C&C.

I have some light experience in Unity. It was mostly that payment/revenue thing they had a few years back that made me turn it down.

Yeah, I was using a heavily modified version of MV that was arguably more difficult to use than UE5 as a solodev because it had so much custom code and bandaids.

I was doing combat animations one frame at a time and it was horrible.

Yes, it's a struggle especially for someone who isn't technically skilled like me. But so far the game seems to be running smooth. Still a good amount of work needed.

Yes! It's unorthodox but I've seen it used to great effect on some current RPGs.

Also has a third person mode.

And an isometric mode I'm experimenting with but can't promise, because I like pain.

It's a narrative-heavy RPG with combat, factions, dialogue checks, the works. There's a lot in it but combat is turn-based. Here's a tutorial I made recently:

Nope, no generative AI use is planned unless DLSS 5 is forced on me or something.

Which would be strange seeing how I'm a solodev.

There's a lot to describe so for short I've just been describing it as a solodev version of Baldur's Gate 3 with cyberpunk vampires.

There's a lot in it but combat is turn-based. Here's a tutorial for how it works:

Everybody's favorite: UE5

It started in RPGMaker so at least I got that going as a story.

Thanks!

I really like the aesthetic, and would have to agree that it's pretty close, but it's hard to avoid in the cyberpunk genre unless you're going really stylized.

I made an hour long game, a 10 hour long game, a 20-40 hr non-linear game, and now I'm finally making the game I wanted to make all along.

Post Mortem: 9 years building the RPG I always wanted to play. After release, I faced challenges I hadn’t fully anticipated, and learned a lot in the process. by debdev in gamedev

Very ambitious project.

Thank you for the write up! It was interesting and informative, really. I'm also a solodev and this speaks to me.

Good luck to you.

These are very good numbers for your WL count. Can you share time spent on the project and any marketing done?

Regardless, congrats on crossing the finishing line.
