One of the most popular Chinese indie RPGs is now translated.
Hi guys, I am a Chinese gamemaker with my game Rainblood here.
The RPG "Rainblood-town of death(雨血-死镇）" is made with RPGmakerXP but without any of the default materials, I finished it 3 years ago. It was released in China in 2008 and has been downloaded for about half M times. Now I begin to translate the game into English and hopefully it can be released within a month, so it is good to show it here a little bit.
In the game I produced all the characters, paronomas, battlers and icons with ALL HAND DRAWING, to control the style to what I want, the expression is a cold, dark and free hand drawing style.
Though using a 2d engine, the game made an extrem use of RPGmaker, and with a lot of original script making additional effects which help to use only paronomas as maps. The story is composed by myself, telling a short but complex plot and a dramatic love story with darkness, in a background of traditional Chinese Martial world but with many weird stuff such as a strange samurai without head and machine-like killers. The total time in story is just one day and space is in a deserted town, but I played the story with montage and disordered story telling lines, making it nearer to an art piece.
ps: more about the story
Pang Town, a small but once popular town in the border of Central Land, was now blighted for a sudden and strange plague. Most of the people fled, while someone unexpected came.
A black dressed man entered the town with fatigue and sadness, but at once he felt the never stopping steps of chasers sent by who he was eager to see while dared not. Then the town came killers wanted to kill him, came his old friends who had to kill him and came the little girl who died in front of him but now laughed at him, who also wanted to kill him.
He had no choice but fought back the ones aiming at him; however it seemed another clue underneath all these strange events, which leads to a complex plot, a plot within a plot.
So what else would happen in this small, dark, and deserted town?
And also the 2nd game, Rainblood2-City of Flame is under production, with a continuing story. The effect is trying to approch a 2d quality of Playstation era. Here is the link of its trailer:

But still I do want to play this. Very impressive. Whoever your artist is is a genius. Also I think an ABS would benefit this game perfectly. For the art style limiting it to a traditional one I don't know. Gawd knows you've got the artistic ability to pull it off.
