Nootbox Games - Making Rune Fencer Illyia!
@nootboxgames.com
Extremely tiny indie game studio working on Rune Fencer Illyia: a huge, atmospheric metroidvania where you steal enemy abilities (and pet giant capybaras)!

Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1104600/Rune_Fencer_Illyia/
Even the smallest trailer slot for Gamescom is unattainable for indies. It'd basically bankrupt us!

So if you wanna help a tiny indie get some visibility, then I'd love if you could check out our awesome game - there's giant capybaras in it!

HEY. Did you like cooking in games like Zelda Breath of the Wild?

There's now over 130+ recipes for Illyia to cook and discover. Now THAT'S egg-cellent!🍳

HEY! Did you know? Once a month, we release production updates for Rune Fencer Illyia over on our Kickstarter! We JUST posted a new PUBLIC one, with a spotlight on our approach to incorporating VA work into the project. 🎙️

Give it a read and stay in the loop! 👇

Each runic spell in Rune Fencer Illyia has a hidden quality to them.
For instance, I timed her boomerang spell to match perfectly with the speed of her sword combo, allowing the player to keep up the assault for massive damage!

Take a moment from doom scrolling to rest among the weary. Perhaps, share a kind word for fellow travelers?

Hi Bluesky!!

We're a super tiny indiedev making Rune Fencer Illyia, which is a massive game with tons to fight and explore; a love letter to castlevania, zelda and PS1 action-RPGs!

Follows (and wishlists!) are SUPER appreciated as we move away from twitter.
