A Brave New Life is a fantasy farming role-playing game inspired by games like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, and Final Fantasy. Farm all day and live a peaceful life in town or go on an adventure and slay monsters--the choice is yours.

Grow crops, raise animals, catch fish, defeat the evil dark wizard, live a brave new life.

Hello, everyone! May I present to you my project that I have been working on in secret since 2016(not that I ever had much of a presence, but whatever), A Brave New Life!

Features:

Farming Simulation

- Over 20 different kinds of crops to grow.
- Five different kinds of animals to raise.
- Over 30 different fish to catch, and different places and times to try and catch them.
- Over 60 different cooking recipes to unlock and try.
- 20 villagers to meet, give gifts to, and befriend.



RPG

- Eighteen unique job classes each with their own strengths and skillsets.
- Charge turn battle system reminiscent of Final Fantasy X, where the turn order is vital to your strategy.
- Build a party of four from six potential party members.
- An alchemy system where the items in your world help make your weapons and armor stronger.





My vision for A Brave New Life is a game that roots you in just one town but lets you explore and adventure. As a newcomer to the town, it's up to you to meet, greet, and make friends with the villagers. Like all farming simulation games, there's also a huge farm for you to make your own. But despite that, you can still travel far, take your new friends as party members, and go on a classic rpg adventure.

Indiegogo Campaign:

Because of the number of things (crops, mostly) that will show up in this project, I'm going to need some funding so I can commission art and music. Before I go on any further, here:

I haven't seen many games that mix farming with turn-based battles, it gives me strong Atelier vibes - a nice change from the usual Harvest Moon clones.
Good luck with your campaign! An advice, though: I'd try to shorten the trailer. 2 mins is a bit too long for a video! Most people won't spend so much time to watch the trailer of a game they've never heard of before.
Always keep in mind that people don't care about what you're doing. You gotta grab their attentions - ideally in the first 5 seconds or so.

Good luck with this! I love jobs, turn-based strategy, and farming sims, soooo pretty much into this for sure! Not only befriending but fighting WITH the villages sounds fun! But is there gonna be romance in addition to befriending?

And I personally really like that you can see the whole farm in one screen. I found the farm size in Stardew Valley for example to be way too big to keep track of and manage.
