New turn-based RPG from the creators of Cthulhu Saves the World. Inspired by Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star & Suikoden. PC/Mac/PS4/Vita.

Cosmic Star Heroine is a turn-based sci-fi Japanese-style RPG from Zeboyd Games currently scheduled to come out in 2014 for the PC, Mac, PS4, and Vita!

Alyssa L’Salle is one of the galactic government’s top agents and always manages to save the day! But when she accidentally uncovers a dark conspiracy, her own government outs her as a legendary spy and the people’s champion! Sure, now she has hordes of adoring fans but every villainous organization she’s ever crossed in her career knows who she is and is out for her blood! Can she save the day once more while she faces her greatest challenge… Everyone!?

Non-grid-based 2D exploration (diagonals! woohoo!)!

Upgradeable spy headquarters!
Character LV-Up system allows customization while still making each character unique!
Characters can also be further customized with equipment & support characters (allies that hang out at your spy headquarters who don't go out into the field with your main characters).
Multiple difficulty levels so you can fine-tune the experience to fit your own playstyle!
Multi-character combo techniques!
And much, much more!

Yippeeeeeeeee!! I freakin' love Zeboyd, their games have been nostalgia soaked in happiness, really enjoyable 16bit-style RPGs and I can't wait for this one. Sounds great, looks great, WILL be great! What I like the most? This is a Kickstarter where the developers already know exactly what they're going to make and, roughly, how long it will take .. no stretch goals, no ramping up the development difficulty and time requirement, just this game requiring our money and that's it Very Happy

GIMME!! December 2014 and "possibly earlier" if they can raise more than enough money to improve development. YES! \o/

What if the kickstarter gets overfunded? We don't know about you, but we hate it when kickstarters get a lot more money than they expected, drastically increase the scope of the game, and end up pushing the release date back months or even years. What's worse, some of these kickstarters drastically underestimate how much all those new features are going to end up costing with the result that they end up running out of money before they manage to fulfill all of their promises.

We don't want this to happen to us!

With the December 2014 fulfillment date, we've given ourselves a bit of leeway as far as development time goes. If we get enough money that we decide that we can spend a couple extra months polishing up the game, we'll be able to without pushing back that date. In addition to that, we could use additional funding to increase our audio budget and hire additional help so that we can get more done without noticeably increasing our development time.

And what if after all this, we end up finishing the game and still have a good chunk of money left over? How about using that extra money to develop some free post-release DLC? We've released some major free DLC for our previous games (the alternate storyline in Cthulhu Saves the World & the Epilogue scenario in Precipice of Darkness 3) so we'd be game for doing something similar with Cosmic Star Heroine. Maybe a separate mini-Roguelike mode ala Lufia 2's Ancient Cave...

~edit~

Trolls go away. If you didn't like Zeboyd titles, if you're "not into JapCrap lolz" or you have nothing to contribute, just stay away and kindly don't shit up the thread.
