The BRAWLERS WORLD RPG was a concept I threw together when I had COVID in 2022. In a year that was loaded with work, ironically, the two weeks I had COVID were the first time I felt like I actually had time off. So, I tackled an idea I had been experimenting with on-and-off prior to this: a pre-rendered RPG. But, I only had experience in RPGMaker. No matter, I would find a way to get the look. It is really just a visual test, since that was going to be the most tricky part to get right in this program. And after A LOT of trial and error, I had succeeded. Alas, I had to return to work, but "I would come back!", I said.
And two years passed by with the game-test collecting dust on my desktop. It's not like I hadn't worked on it in the meantime, though. I wrote out a story, drafted characters, built up models-- and then, at the end of 2022, I lost all the files in a hard drive crash. This demo survived, but the rest.. perished. It was a huge blow, and yet, it was exactly what I needed. for the following year, I focused only on my videos, merch, and story. It gave me time to think.. What do I really want to say, with this game? I took a lot of time to think about this, and as my world and characters developed, I realized so much about what I want from this game.
So, I am releasing it instead! I wanted to make sure my confidence was not misplaced before sending this old build out, and with lots of testing and learning for the new one, its finally time! I hope you enjoy this old look at the game. I am sad it never got fleshed out, but I am also happy to see it be free. It was hard to not post it for the past two years, haha.
