That’s why I started making fangames in first place.

I always wanted to create something worth of the games of my childhood. I grew up in the golden times of RPGs on the SNES and PS1. How did the idea for Chained Echoes come about? What motivated you to make an RPG?

Chained Echoes is my first game so I’d consider it my way into game development although I created fangames for Final Fantasy VI back in the days with the RPG Maker. I still don’t know how I managed to do all that on my own. Everything besides some artworks, the key art and the soundtrack. I do basically everything from game design to pixel art. I am the solo developer of Chained Echoes.
