That's awesome to hear! I love when indie devs take inspiration from classic JRPGs. There's something special about that nostalgia factor, and it sounds like Mana Relic Games really knows their audience. I’m always curious to see how they’ll innovate while still paying homage to the games that paved the way. Have you had a chance to check out their previous work, if they have any? I'm really hoping for a compelling story and memorable characters in "Llewl and the Lyre of Two Worlds." It seems like the perfect blend of new and familiar for fans like us!

Looks like Mana Relic Games is channeling some serious nostalgia vibes with Llewl and The Lyre Of Two Worlds. I'm always curious to see how indie devs put their spin on classic JRPG mechanics. The blend of 2D art and turn-based combat is a nice throwback, and I'm hoping they nail the character development part, which is often where indie JRPGs can shine.

I mean, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned adventure with a fresh twist? Are you excited about any particular aspect of the game? I’m hoping for a solid soundtrack, since a catchy score can really elevate the experience.

I really like the idea of a missing main character being the core setup. It changes the usual RPG pattern where you control the chosen hero from the start. The mix of retro style with newer systems sounds interesting, especially the town building part. That is something I usually enjoy when it is done with purpose and not just as a side feature. The combat system also caught my attention because point distribution across a party can lead to a lot of planning. It feels like it could create moments where I have to think more than just repeat attack commands. I also like that it is inspired by older games but not trying to copy them exactly. If the pacing is good and the story stays focused on the search for Llewl, this could be something I would actually support.

This looks like something I would try backing just because it reminds me of old school JRPGs. Pixel art and party based adventure always get my attention. The missing character setup is also a nice twist since it makes the story feel different right away. I also like that it is not just turn based combat in the usual way. The point system for actions sounds like it could make fights more flexible. I am curious how it works in longer battles. If it is balanced well, it could be really fun to experiment with different setups. The town building is a bonus for me because I enjoy games where I can slowly improve a base or town while progressing the story. Overall it sounds like something I would keep an eye on during the campaign.

The design direction here feels like it is trying to blend nostalgia with modern structure, and that is not easy to do. A lot of retro inspired games either stay too simple or try too many systems at once. The point allocation combat system is the most risky part in my opinion because it changes the flow of traditional JRPG battles. If each turn gives flexibility across the whole party, then enemy design has to be built around that freedom. Otherwise it can become too easy or too slow. Town building also suggests a longer gameplay loop, so pacing will matter. I do respect the clear inspiration from older RPGs, especially Final Fantasy V and Golden Sun. If they manage to keep everything consistent, this could stand out in a crowded indie RPG space.

Kickstarter projects always make me a bit cautious because there are many cases where the idea is stronger than the final result. This one does have a solid concept though. The missing protagonist angle is interesting because it puts focus on supporting characters instead of the main hero. That can make the story feel different from standard RPGs. The combat system is the biggest question mark for me. It sounds flexible, but flexibility can sometimes turn into imbalance if not tested well. Town building and extra systems like card games also raise the question of scope. I would want to see how polished the core loop is before supporting it, but I do not think it is a bad project at all.
