Our Town Hero
Steam
After awakening in an inn with no memory, you find yourself in a sleepy little forest town. Within minutes you are chosen by the townsfolk to help restore this beautiful little town to it's former glory. Why? An ancient vampire has awakened, and kidnapped the local townsfolk. There's no barkeep. No innkeeper. Not even a shopkeeper. What's a small town to do?


Each season you will journey into the Vampire's Forest and rescue the kidnapped townsfolk. As you advance through the story, the seasons will change. And the town will grow around you. Harvest resources in the woods. Train your fighting skills. And restore the town to it's former glory. Because you have become, Our Town Hero.

Our Town Hero is a retro RPG that could be described as cozy. It's being designed to evoke a nostalgic feeling, with graphics and music that would fit on a Game Boy Color or SNES. But with modern touches and up-to-date gameplay. One of the central themes of the game is the changing seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall will bring some new weather, decor, and life to your town. The game begins in winter, with your town mostly quiet. Times are bleak. The businesses are closed due to the kidnappings. But by the end, you will hopefully have a thriving and bustling town by years end. You will be the reason this town comes alive once more.
You'll get to know the townsfolk, see how they change through the different seasons, and how they react to you as each villager is rescued. You'll also be able to help them rebuild their businesses, and the forest is thriving with items to harvest.


You'll be able to choose your character's gender, name, along with the names of the town and kingdom you are waking up in. This will be your individual journey in this retro gaming world. Other features will be added as I continue development.



Our Town Hero will feature a retro soundtrack. MIDI's in fact. I love music that evokes that bygone era in gaming. Especially music that reminds me of GBA games. The music will also vary and change for each season.
