Previously known as Project Terra, Radical Fish Games who made the excellent CrossCode have now properly revealed their next game with Alabaster Dawn. From what their presskit said it will have Linux support once again too.
Alabaster Dawn is an Action RPG that builds on the best aspects of Radical Fish Games’ previous title, CrossCode. It features a deep combat system, challenging puzzles, and a mysterious world teeming with secrets, all bundled up in an engaging story. The shadow of Nyx has fallen—warping the world into a wasteland and vanishing the gods and their people. Now, Juno the Outcast Chosen, awakes to an impossible task: bring it all back.
Check out the reveal trailer below:

Quoting: PoliticsOfStarvingQuoting: kftXBetween CrossCode and Sea of Stars, I kinda lost of faith in SNES-inspired indie RPGs.
What’s up with Sea of Stars? I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but I thought it might be good.
I admit it could be just a personal gripe of mine, but

Quoting: ExpandingManTherefore Crosscode stands out to me as a game in which I have invested 60 hours that I would thumbs-down on steam. How did this happen?Same here. I don't fully get why people enjoy this game all the way through.
Even though people call it an RPG and I really don't consider it to be one I quite enjoyed it in the beginning. However the longer I played the more my experience was muddied by repetitiveness and some MMO mechanics I really dislike in singleplayer games. At some point it I just felt it wasn't worth it any more.
Maybe the game just isn't for me - which is a pity as it seems to tick a lot of boxes for me. It's not the first time this has happened to me though. For example I hate the Borderlands games with a passion for similar reasons even though they look like I should enjoy them...
