Imperium Omni - RPG Retro Game Coming to Kickstarter

[Myrthos]

On Renderosity Magazine news is presented about an upcoming Kickstarter campaign for a retro RPG, named Imperium Omni.

An emerging game studio, Storytellers Entertainment, is hoping to spark a new generation of fantasy based retro gaming with the development of “Imperium Omni,” a four-part serialized solo-RPG set in the vast fictional world of Aeris Pri. The game is to be released on PC with future expansion to Xbox and PS4 console platforms.

The company, established by fantasy fiction writer and veteran game designer, Matthew Thomas and award-winning Hollywood SFX expert Bill Munns, will cater to fans of retro-styled, fantasy based, solo-RPGs following a surge in interest in retro gaming in recent years.

Storytellers Entertainment’s first planned release, Imperium Omni, a four-part solo-RPG is based on a full-length fantasy novel written by Mr. Thomas. The game and novel start with Shadow, a half-Elf from the Kingdom of Sashire graduating from The Explorer’s Academy who sets out on a series of military campaigns rising through the ranks until at last challenging Empress Illissa, the powerful protagonist in the series.

LOL even I wouldn't be that evil.
My major problem with games always was endless respawns. Stating a game is supposed to be "retro" without any detail, I always think OMG yet another grinder. Rarely it wasn't.

Won't shove this one off yet. Still 2 months before the KS project goes live.
