Japanese indie RPG Project Phoenix is well on its way with just one week left. It has cleared its goal by 700% funding at this stage and recently achieved its $650k stretch goal. German localization has been added.
The team will now develop cities of greater detail in Project Phoenix, and allow customisable characters. Game director Hiroaki Yura has explained combat’s tactical features.
The next stretch goal would add A4 sized posters for certain reward tiers, but $1.025m would unlock a ”fully explorable overworld” to go wander off in.
Project Phoenix is Japan’s first official indie Kickstarter project, ”combining Eastern AND Western developers with TONS of AAA experience!” The Creative Intelligence Arts team promise it’s a JRPG the world can appreciate.
