No one is safe now that the Atlas, a power that can change life in an instant, has been unleashed. The stunning pixel art of Arcadian Atlas pairs with the game’s rich story that will push players into tough, emotionally driven choices and send them down an unforgettable path. With a queen willing to do anything to ascend to the throne, no one is safe. And if the Bairs’ plan for the class system-a combination of FFT’s jobs and branching skill trees of their own design that force you to specialize-is as addictive as their strategy RPG inspirations, I expect to be playing a hell of a lot of it.Arcadian Atlas is a unique, narrative-driven isometric tactical RPG set in Arcadia, a nation tearing itself apart via political and familial factions, nefarious plots, treacherous alliances, and clandestine intrigues just as ancient evil forces begin to awaken. Arcadian Atlas may draw just as heavily from isometric games like Tactics Ogre, but if it’s a success, it’ll show how far RPG Maker has come as a game development tool. It’s already user-friendly enough to allow for designing maps without the need for complex programming.Įven well-received RPG Maker games like To the Moon and Skyborn ultimately look very much like the top-down 2D Super Nintendo games that inspired them. Photoshop is better for color and contrast tweaking and the finishing touches for sprite work.”Īrcadian Atlas’s programmer has already built an engine for creating the isometric battle maps they’ll use in the game, which Bair pointed to as a possible avenue for future mod support. Their animation features really lend themselves to that, and the layers that they offer. I like that program specifically for spriting. For the sprite sheet it will just do a frame-by-frame breakdown and you can import that directly into RPG Maker. “It can export directly into a sprite sheet or as an animated gif,” Bair said.
