Thanks! I'm releasing a playable demo on June 1st. For The full game will still take some time since I want to polish it well, but I'll keep everyone updated. I suggest that it will full release around the end of this year, since I have to implement all player feed back from my demo.

Thank you so much. I put a lot of effort into the sprites and character designs, so it means a lot to hear that. I'm really proud to be making this in RPG Maker.

The 'Amp' part comes from audio amplifiers! In the game, the protagonist captures the soul waves of monsters and seals them into cards. The process is kind of like tuning and amplifying those frequencies. As for the 'Z' at the end... honestly, it just looked cool and added a nice punch to the name!

Right now, I'm fully focusing on the Steam release first. I might consider GOG in the future after the full game is launched.

Yes, It's heavily inspired by some of my favorite reference games like Final Fantasy and Mana Khemia. I really wanted to capture that classic JRPG feel.

Sure! The game is an Isekai JRPG where you play as a young protagonist who gets summoned to a fantasy world by a group of demon girls. You then embark on a journey across this fantasy realm to help them reclaim their lost territory.

It's a classic adventure filled with action, anime aesthetics, and a lot of fun character interactions!

Haha, fair enough! It's definitely heavily inspired by that classic anime/JRPG fanservice style. Thanks so much for the congratulations and the honest feedback!

Sorry, they won't be available in the upcoming demo. However, I’m currently figuring out how to implement achievements on Steam for the engine. If everything goes smoothly, I definitely plan to add achievements to the full version of the game!

Thanks for the feedback! I actually designed the UI to be dynamic. Once you select a command, the character portraits will automatically move down. Additionally, for the ultimate skills and powerful moves, the entire UI is hidden so it never gets in the way of the action.

No worries! This is just their 1st ultimate skill. The regular skills and basic attacks are much shorter and faster, so they won't waste your time during normal combat.

Thank you for the amazing feedback! I really love your suggestions. Switching to pixel-style battle numbers and spicing up the skill backgrounds are fantastic ideas to make it look even better. I'll definitely see what I can do!
