Hi everyone, just wanted to tell y'all about an upcoming game I'm helping develop: an online RPG based on the Shining Force series. Harmonia attempts to combine the tactical engagement of a turn-based strategy game with a more social and faster-paced MMO. Players will command small bands of heroes (probably only 2-4) and collaborate or clash with one another as they explore the Kingdom of Harmonia.
One of the game's unique features is a very simple scripting language called Harmonious which will allow players and developers to customize nearly all of the game's assets. It's a fully-moddable tactical RPG engine with the intention that additional content (characters, items, storylines, etc) can be created by the players and hosted on their own, or Harmonia's servers.
Development has reached the pre-alpha stages and we have a somewhat playable demo [http://www.harmonia-online.net/wiki/Play], though it is far from a complete game. We're just starting to integrate the sprites and artwork from our newly-appointed artist, the game still uses only keyboard input (Harmonia began its life as a MUD before we decided to convert it to a 3D engine), and the soundtrack hasn't even been started yet, but development is cruising forward at full steam. We've a Kickstarter in progress which concludes on the 8th so please check out the project and see if you like the direction we're heading.

. Is there a better section to post this in, or is it just not a thing for the Escapist forums at all?
