A planet-splitting anouncement
We at Candy Dynamics recently released our project Fissure!, a brand new take on That One Series With a Long and Uninteresting Name That I Do Not Wish to Remember taking inspiration from the wide selection of games from many different developers the series has come to consist of over the years. The first act of this project's story has already been completed and published, and Act II is on its way. Today, we'll provide a quick preview of what Act II will entail.
At the end of Act I, Unten has just faced a confrontation of the disarrayed nations of Nukingdom after his actions to help the Baraenion tribe join the Nukingdom Alliance have inadvertently made the alliance's relations more tense than ever before. And to make matters worse, Doomulus Grime has arrived with the GigaDrill to break into the land of the nation itself and enact his plan to harvest Zeon's rare Zeta Metal-Alpha mineral to gain a higher position within the galactic Doomuli Organization. Having failed to accomplish her mission, Unten must now face the reality of two fissures splitting Nukingdom: a literal fissure in the ground created by Doomulus Grime, and a tense political fissure between the formerly-allied nations of Nukingdom.
In Act II, Unten will team up with the electrically-charged Fanti after finding him in Dystoria Forest, granting Unten access to all-new electric attacks. Upon returning to the ruins of Narobia City, the pair will be tasked with rescuing Queen Pixella, who has been kidnapped by the dark sorceress RAMiranda following the chaos at the end of Act I, in recompence for having inadvertently created the situation that lead to Pixella's kidnapping. However, Unten faces additional resistance as they have now become the most hated individual in Nukingdom for accidentally having weakened the alliance in their futile attempts to strengthen it in a time of crisis.
Of course, Unten is ultimately focused on returning to their home in Peaceful Plains, which they have been split off from. The game's map has been entirely transformed following Doomulus Grime's drilling, and Unten faces new conflicts in each of Nukingdom's nations on their journey home. Unten will return to each of the nations they previously visited and find them significantly transformed-- Elasmo Bay, Beauty Town, and Galasasia Desert have now become Elasmo Peak, Beauty Basin, and Galasasia Waste. Doomulus Grime himself has set up his own operations over Peaceful Plains to continue with his plans for the destruction of Zeon, and his outposts within Nukingdom to prevent resistance have ensured that more difficult challenges await for Unten as well.
We hope you enjoyed that quick snippet. Stay tuned for Act II of Fissure!
Embark on a star-bound journey
Next, we have a new project to reveal: the seafaring title Chasing Stars! This game is some parts action RPG and some parts simulation, taking primary inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Stardew Valley for these respective gameplay elements.
Meet Soraya, the game's player avatar. They are fully customizable from the start of the game, including their skin tone, clothing, pronouns, and hair style. They are setting out on an adventure within the land of Milegia, a region rich in culture, history, and exploration. Milegia is primarily based off of Nordic countries in its design.
Soraya isn't traveling alone, however; they're bringing some brand new creature companions alongside them! These are two creatures that Soraya can find in the wild and call to join their side and fight for them in combat. These two are named Caramalt and Clook respectively, so keep an eye out for them in the wild! And stay tuned for more creatures to be revealed…
Puffridge (Ice) -- Fitrick (Magic) -- Jaggedge (Melee)
One for the pages…
We enter into an endless void, diving deeper and deeper as we catch brief, distorted glimpses of classic Fantendo articles in floating shattered panes. As we progress further into the void, a bright core appears in the center, evidently shaping into a star. We come to a sudden halt in front of the star as more and more Fantendo articles pass by. Suddenly, the star begins rapidly growing, pulling all of the Fantendo articles inward and beginning to consume them. The screen then fades to black.
Another location appears-- a cityscape setting with busy pedestrians teeming throughout the streets and roads lined with light traffic. As the sky suddenly brightens, civilians turn around to look, shielding their eyes. The star from the void begins to open in the sky, and flames threatening to engulf the world reach out towards the city. The civilians look shocked, and we pan upward to the top of a skyscraper. A robed bear-like figure hops onto the rooftop, facing the sun.
What?
No.
The bear pulls out a shining sword.
The classic Fantendo hero Sam, protagonist of Fantendo Heroes UNITE!!! and Fantendo Heroes 2: Banned User's Revenge, must escape from a new threat through the pages of Fantendo itself. He will explore countless Fantendo worlds on his journey, gaining allies across Fantendo pages to join him for one of Fantendo's greatest battles yet.
Coming 2023.
