Pier Solar, the new Genesis RPG can now be pre-ordered!

[108Stars]

Hi there!

I am a member of a team dedicated to bringing Genesis- and Sega CD-owners an all new RPG next year. No translation, no hack, no ripped elements.

With Tavern RPG we aim at releasing a game on Genesis that is on the same level as late SNES-RPGs such as FF VI or Chrono Trigger visually. As for the game itself we try to make it as big as possible with and exciting storyline and great soundtrack.
Team leader is Fonzie Voltnov, well know in the MD-developement-scene. I open this thread here in order to answer any questions that arise.

For info on the game, please visit Sega-16 with a lengthy feature about us.

Thanks in advance for your interest!

As a person who loves the genesis and RPGs this is very exciting! Thanks for letting us know and keep us posted.

What's the price? How many are being produced? =D *AWESOME!*

[108Stars]

Well, we are not sure how many we will produce yet.
Beggar Prince has sold 900 copies until now with a new production run on the way. As a game that has the advantage of being entirely new, we hope to sell the same or even more.

The price will be around the same as BP too; it depends a bit on how much MBit the game will need. We can produce 64 MBit cartridges, but maybe smaller size will do.
The Mega CD-version will be a bit cheaper of course thanks to the low price of CD-ROMs.
We do not intend to earn any money with the game; the price will pretty much be the same as the production cost.

We are still searching for people to join our team. If you think you can do pixel art, you are very welcome. However, you are not gonna get any money. The team members´ only payment is the pride of having taken part in a great product that will hopefully surpass every RPG that the Mega Drive has seen during it´s original lifespan.
If anyone wants to help us, please PM me.

Very good luck to you! Pixel arts not my forte, but do you need script writers? "I'll go get the herb for you, father" makes me cringe a little bit inside.

Hahaha, don´t worry,we are writing the script right now. The text you see is from the first playable demo we had, and only features very basic text. Fortunately, we have 3 people involved in the script already.

Just try to make it as big as is necessary. Don't get caught up in "possibilities." That's when good games go bad. :P

EDIT:Took a look at the screenshots. Looks nice. Real nice! Make sure you get some naked boobies in there. That'll bring back the old "OMG they have it so good in Japan" idea I had back in the early-mid 90's.

Count me in for one as well as soon as you open preorders. Looks excellent so far!

[Poofta!]

That said I haven't preordered yet. I want it. I will get it. I was just waiting until the release was looking a little more concrete.
