Hey guys. I'm an indie designer trying to share my game, Rainbow Nightmare: Libra. Which is an RPG that focuses around a machine theme. When you see robots or mech themed backdrops, it's usually in a confined area much like a lab or a factory. Robots are something that I really adore, and I wanted to create and RPG circulating around that. A lot of the visual inspiration are from 80's cartoons. GI Joe, TMNT, Transformers, all sort of had a unique style to them. And I want to produce that effect in an RPG format.
From an RPG perspective, I'm really inspired visually by Breath of Fire, CT, Mega Man, which is kind of the core design aspect is the locations are mechanicalized.
I'm trying to bring something unique to the indie scene. To have something original in terms of visuals come from the RM community, because generally RM users are frowned upon. That is kind of the sad reality.
So, I hope you guys will check out my long post and read about it and leave a comment. I wanna say thanks for looking over the post before hand. That's mighty chill of ya'll.

The Rainbow Nightmare universe is divided into various short stories. Take on the role of Lady Libra as she goes above and beyond to help her friend find a cure for his disease. Along with her trusted friends they must sneak into the robotic Neon Empire. Unfortunately for them, it's not that simple.
Welcome to Neon Empire!
Greetings, visitor. Welcome to the future of Sarahelm, Neon Empire. If you're a machine returning from the front lines, please let our scanners fully process you, so you may return into the arms of our beloved and slightly large Machine King!
If your data has been removed previously from the Neon Empire authorities, you will be disassembled and destroyed immediately and returned to the junk heap where you belong. Traitors to the cause will not be tolerated.
If you're a human, the inferior to machines, you will need to show your ID clearance card to the Sebuta Security Police Force. Without your personalized card you will be eliminated on sight. We here at Neon Empire, despite crushing the human and demi-human resistance, know the value of select few humans who wish to explore their talents in the field of machinery and scientific progress for the sake of our industrious empire that will soon sweep across the continent and beyond.
If you have further concerns with security please contact Captain Marlwulf of the Sebuta Security Police Force.
If this is your first time inside the glorious Neon Empire and you are still getting yourself situated as a human, you must proceed to the Neon Capital and allow Lt. Corxx to confirm which sector you will be living in. Do not mind the death machinery being constructed that you pass on the way to the capital, they're being tested, designed, or approved by our highest scientific mind in Neon Empire, leader of the Science and Robotics division High Engineer Boss.
As a second class citizen human, we understand the value of having "off time" when you have worked your full day in our humid factories. It is required that you rejuvenate yourselves often to allow you to work at 100% capacity. We understand your endless human flaws. This is why the Development District was created. It is lined with the finest oil and cogs available on the continent, as well as human delights.
With your help the Neon Empire will rise high into the sky with many billboards of robo babes reaching to space. Welcome to the Neon Empire.

Screenshots
I'd love to hear your thoughts. This game is being designed totally by myself. I'm blessed to have a really awesome composer. I really want to be able to push the RPG format and blend it with platforming elements. If you want to find more screenshots, and art, and music and you like the trailer, I'm currently running a Kickstarter to get funds to finish the project and make it as incredible as it can be. If you like robots, super babes, zombies, and cat girls, you might like Rainbow Nightmare: Libra.
