French indie studio launches Shiness fantasy RPG Kickstarter 法国独立工作室为奇幻RPG《Shiness》募集
许久没有玩传统RPG了吧,大厂商不做,独立游戏工作室还是会做的。日前有一家名为Enigami的法国独立游戏工作室在Kickstarter上募集资金,力图打造一款名为《Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom》的RPG游戏。该工作室想要募集到10万美元的金额,目前已经募集到2.9万美元,距离截止时间还有29天。
Shiness is a Role Playing Game which will make you dive into a new adventure across Sky Islands. In a world where every land strives for power, two Wakis named Chado and Poky, traveling aboard a flying boat, accidentally land on a very dangerous island. Prepare yourself for an epic journey into a huge universe that will be remembered for a long time! With its unexpected storylines and nervous gameplay, Shiness is waiting for you to play that story imagined 20 years ago by our Creative Director and finally taken to life.
Game Features
• Exploration - Shiness will task players with exploring “many areas” through “quests, resolving puzzles, fighting against enemies, bosses, notorious monsters and hunting animals to get items.”
• Battle System - Shiness uses an action-based battle system that happens directly on the main map “with barely no transition between the fight and the exploration modes.” Magic and close combat have been mixed to allow for “many strategies” in defeating enemies.
• Quests - “Considerable time” is being spent to present a “great storyline” with each quest, including investigation and interrogation quests, as well as those where players are tasked with defeating difficult enemies and facing tough challenges.
• Gear and Martial Arts - In Shiness, martial arts are more effective than weapons. You can learn three types of arts: physical, magical, and supply arts. Each character also carries his own gear, such as bracelets and necklaces, which change the look of the heroes as well as their stats.
• Magic - In Shiness, the Shi is used to power magic. You can cast several during a fight such as damage and defense spells, or even status effect spells.

The Shiness universe was born over 20 years ago from the pen strokes of Samir Rebib, Artistic Director of the studio.

Your party members’ usefulness isn’t limited to just combat – manipulate the environments around you with abilities such as Kayenne’s telekinesis and Askel’s far-reaching whip. Gain experience and level up after fights, while progressing in the storyline or by accomplishing numerous side quests. Evolve your characters, learn new skills and spells, and become the hero who will unify the civilizations of Mahera.
Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is now available for download! Embark upon your epic journey today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom - Meet your party in the Characters Trailer!
Indie studio Enigami's upcoming Action-RPG Shiness arrives 18 April for download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC! In today's Characters Trailer, meet the eclectic band of fighters you'll take control of as you explore, quest and battle across the magical world of Mahera.
Shiness' characters and story were first birthed over 20 years ago from the pen strokes of a young Samir Rebib, co-founder of Enigami. Now, after a successful Kickstarter campaign and with the help of publisher Focus Home Interactive, this young team is close to releasing their first game - featuring 5 playable characters with distinct playstyles and personalities:
• Chado - This daring young Waki dreams of travelling far beyond his home town Kimpao - and this desire quickly lands him in big trouble!
• Poky - A faithful friend to Chado, Poky has an incredible talent for engineering that makes up for his lack of courage.
• Rosalya - Shy but loyal to the party, Rosalya has a powerful affinity with fire and is on the search for a mysterious truth.
• Askel - A formidable young mercenary, the enigmatic Askel already has a far-reaching reputation in Mahera.
• Kayenne - A strong, natural born leader, Kayenne remains calm in even the most difficult situations.
Directly control your party members in hyper-dynamic combat - each character has powerful magical abilities and their own devastating Hyper Combos! Though battles are 1v1 in classic fighting game tradition, party members can cast spells from the sidelines and be swapped out through the tag team system.
Outside battle, the open, puzzle-filled environments give party members plenty of opportunities to shine. From Kayenne's telekinetic talents to Rosalya's use of fire to reveal hidden entrances, use potent abilities to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way.
Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom arrives for download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on 18 April 2017. Pre-orders for PC are open on Steam, and include the Official Shiness Manga, the Original Soundtrack and 15% off the game's price. Pre-orders on Xbox One are now available as well.
