I am the co-director of J-Cat Games and Collectibles. We are currently running a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for our upcoming Godshard Chronicles video game. We wanted to create a mix of retro 90s nostalgia with a bit of contemporary innovation. Players will follow two protagonists, Adanna and Ruby, on their quest to find Adanna’s long-lost father and climb the ranks as Mana Knights. This action-based RPG will have multiplayer co-op, hand drawn animated cut scenes, and stunning pixel art. The music will be performed by Lunar and Grandia series composer Noriyuki Iwadare and violinist Shauno Isomura, with a track by Nier Automata singer Emi Evans.
As a female, I appreciate our team’s decision to use female protagonists like Adanna and Ruby. In the early days of gaming, video games had mostly a male audience with male characters. When I was a kid, I could only play male characters, and sometimes I wished that I could play as a girl. Now females make
up a large percentage of young gamers. Fortunately, today’s games offer more variety in terms of character design, allowing all players to visualize themselves inside the game and better connect with the characters.
