Himeko Sutori is the project of  Nathaniel Ayer. He describes his game as a tactical JRPG putting the player in control of an army of over 100 units. Here is the new trailer.

Himeko Sutori is a tactical JRPG for PC and Mac that puts the player in control of an army of over 100 unique named units that you can customize, equip, and level-up as you uncover the schemes and betrayals that have thrown the kingdom into civil war.  Himeko Sutori will also come with all the assets and code needed for players to build their own campaigns using the Unreal Development Kit.

The game plays out in two general modes:  exploration and combat.  In exploration mode you'll be able to wander through city and countryside, talk to NPCs, get quests, buy equipment, hire and promote soldiers, and discover new places.  The events in exploration mode can thrust you into combat mode, where you and your AI opponent will take turns moving your armies squad by squad across the battlefield, positioning them for the best tactical advantage.
His game has launched on Kickstarter, and he is only asking for $15,000 to complete it. I have to say the game reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics, and few other JRPGs.

I've been working on Himeko Sutori in my spare time for about a year now.  I would really like to work on it more and produce a finished game, but in order to do that, I'm going to need your help.

I'm asking for $15,000 to cover professional licenses for the various software suites I'm using, to purchase some additional assets, and mostly to fund some full-time development.

I'm hoping that with a couple more months of full-time development I'll be able to do the work of roughly a year's worth of night-and-weekend development, and that I'll have something ready for you to play by this fall.

I will also be interviewing the developer this week.
