I’ve been working on a brand-new JRPG directly inspired by the golden era of PlayStation (Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross, Xenogears). The entire idea was conceived around the millennium and I’m finally building it exactly as I dreamed it back then: 320x240, pre-rendered backgrounds, fully orchestrated FMVs, low-poly models, some 30 hours of planned main storyline gameplay and sequenced music. The game runs natively on IRIX (yes, really; started development on my old SGI Octane but obviously also runs on macOS, Linux and Windows). A 1-hour vertical slice / demo is planned for late 2026.
Part 1 of the Intro FMV of Harbingers of Destiny is attached!
Wishlist on Steam if you miss that classic prerendered 90s JRPG feel:

Would love any feedback from fellow indie / retro fans!
