Currently in development, The Black Tower is a PC game made with the Playstation era Final Fantasy games in mind. The creator is Simon Mesnard, a CG artist, amateur writer, short film creator, and of course, indie game developer.
In ASA, you are an astronaut who sees a black cube floating just outside the space station. It hypnotizes you. You have to have it. While on a space walk to retrieve it, you find yourself literally at the end of your rope and lifeline. You can't reach the cube. The desire to hold it compels you to disconnect yourself from the space station and fall away towards the cube. With the cube now in your hands, you run low on oxygen and pass out only to awaken... somewhere else. From here, A Space Adventure plays just like Myst of old.
TBT: The Black Tower is an indie role playing game in development for PC and Mac, in english and french. It is inspired by J-RPGs and particularly the Final Fantasy series on PS1. TBT: The Black Tower features beautiful 2.5D graphics with an intelligent use of camera mapping, a big 3D worldmap, a serious story, and turn-based battles introducing a new system with up to 3 fighters + 3 supporters in the same arena.
Story : "In 2011, Philippe Forté found a strange alien Cube during a routine mission on the Cobalt-5 satellite, around planet Terra. Hypnotized by this discovery, as if he was being called, he risked his own life to take the dark artefact in his hands. Noone ever heard of him after these events, and Philippe Forté is now known as a crazy astronaut who sacrificed his life for an illusion. Yet, the mystery remains. In 2032, Yan Forté is a kind of ranger and lives in the woods of Lutetia - a country of the Europa continent on Terra. He has decided that he would never walk in the steps of his father Philippe, and that he would devote his whole life on protecting Nature on his beloved planet, instead of exploring the space. Things will suddenly change after he meets Ellana, a young girl with a strange black Die as a pendant around the neck, who came out of nowhere in a cloud of yellow particles..."
Intresting to see a modern game using prerendered backgrounds. Been so long since a game did that, it actually feels fresh, somehow. Too bad they didn't show what the battles are like.
