Hiragana Sentou is a JRPG game that is heavily inspired by Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow. The story of the game is about a Yokai (demon) who has travelled from Japan to the Western U.S. to save his beloved princess from an evil spirit.

Along the way you explore the world and have battle encounters where you will type or select ひらがな. The player will be taught character by character and eventually even the language will switch over to Japanese (にほんご) as the player progresses through the game.

The sprites are done is 16x16 and I have commissioned an artist to faithfully re-make the characters in an original style conducive to the game. Musical composition will also be handled by a close friend and done in 4/8 bit style music.

To give a little background on myself I am a game development student at Norco College and my goal is to become a producer in the industry. I just enjoy the process of making video games and do this for fun on the side.

I am open to collaborations and would love to discuss opportunities to work with me on my game if you think it is something worthwhile.

Attached is the GDD (work in progress): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C88q5owDyNwc5QAnetufYLLJACaTMhMRzowahHB1gjs/edit?usp=sharing

So quick update I've decided to migrate my efforts over to Solarus! It's an esoteric engine that's been used to make several 2D Zelda clones

After spending a day or two with the new engine I've decided to go back to what I'm more familiar with, with Unity
