Name: Greg Tedder

I am a Christian, a family man, a college student, a full time worker, a contract developer, and a musician who is currently trying to break in to the indie gaming market. I like games, mainly turn based RPGs, but my interests do wander when a good creative title comes along.

Another Light Update

The phrase, "There's nothing new under the sun" seems to be relevant in every area of life. I am finding RPG's to be no different. While new ideas are introduced to the genre, it is usually a hybridizing practice that is often times found offensive to the hardcore players. So while trying to breath new life into the RPG it is very easy to repulse people with your morning breath. 

So the new (or rather altered) project is aimed toward a more mainstream audience. I am finding it is poor form to push JRPG elements into the genre, and while a few may carry over, I assure you it is being done as tastefully as possible. For instance, every character comes with a fixed class. However, your main characters class is more of an ability rather than a specialization. The other characters available to your party are more on the restrictive side as they have already chosen their paths long before you met them. 

I am ready to spill details, but I am trying to hold myself back until I get the new site completed. Most of it is functional right now with a admin interface to boot, but there are still a few bugs remedy and some basic security needs to be implemented on the off chance someone does decide to be malicious. I thought it silly a small timer like me getting attacked once, but a few years ago my entire site was hijacked and changed. Good times. :)
