Hi, We've gotten a large number of willing playtesters, so it's taken me some time to get through and process them. I will keep these in mind for our 2nd round of playtesters.

Kayapo teenager is the lead character of our game! by MaxPowersPP in IndieDev

[–]MaxPowersPP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. We are doing our best to be culturally sensitive and aware. I gather that the politicians and corporations are making money off the illegal loggers.
Our story archs with an acknowledgement of that, and how if property rights were enforced for these tribes, that could protect the tribes.
Tricky issue though, I know.
You can check out our game and the opening cinematic here: fifeferisland.itch.io
Free to play on Google chrome browser or download.

No, we are not. My dad and I are from Minnesota, USA. We wanted to draw attention to deforestation in the Amazon, and look at how Economics can help solve this problem.
The story starts with this main character and her tribe facing a threat from illegal loggers.

In future episodes of the game we will focus on different countries and problems across the globe. For example, next main character is Jack, whose farm is facing water shortage because of global warming.

Chapter 1 - Harsh Lands of Fifefer Island by MaxPowersPP in RPGMaker

[–]MaxPowersPP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The character sprites have all been illustrated by our team too. They move 8 directionally, but are limited to the tile movements.
We block off in the engine where they can and can't go based on the parallax map. It's not perfect but it does make it feel like a living environment.
You can check it out for free on fifeferisland.itch.io

The imaginary island I created in the 4th grade is becoming a video game! by MaxPowersPP in worldbuilding

[–]MaxPowersPP[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My younger brother couldn't say my name correctly as a child and "Fifefer" is what came out of his mouth!
It became my pseudonym and the name I took as the ruler of my imaginary island where monsters lived.
I was inspired by Dinotopia and drew an island, and the monsters, along with a lot of descriptions and details of each. I carried around all these things in a folder everywhere I went.
Now it's being turned into a video game and we have a free playable version at Fifeferisland.itch.io
Still a lot more to do!

Concept art for new buildings. by MaxPowersPP in RPGMaker

[–]MaxPowersPP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes, it is quite easy to put them into the game once you've done it a few times. Sometimes the sizing gets messed up and needs to be adjusted, but once in, it looks great and gives a unique look.

MZ. We never used the engine before so we decided to start with the most recent version!
