Synopsis

The game set in the fantasy realm of Magusgaia, a magic school known as "Lawmage Academy", the place who can learn magic and training students to become one of the Lawmages. Each one playable character if you choose the genders, items and four houses, you’ll spend your days attending classes and learning new abilities. You’ll also wander around campus, meet a variety of characters, craft items using ingredients you’ve gathered, and even leave the safety of the school to explore diverse locations filled with monsters, mystery, and danger.

Development

The developer concepts the idea about "a certain magic school game with a nonlinear story" once he wanted to make a fantasy game with choices and experiences, it was given the name "Lawmage Academy". Around March 2018, he started using the RPG Maker MV game engine and practicing his idea after watching tutorials, which he counts for “one hour a day for one year” commitment. He studied level design, writing dialogue, world building, choices, working as an indie dev, interior design, and other skills, but he lacks of programming and arts.[10] Later in 2019, the pre-alpha demo was released on June before it exhibited at the Electronic Sports and Gaming Summit (ESGS) 2019, where they were part of Indie Fiesta 2019, a local games exhibit directed by International Game Developers Association (IGDA) Philippines board member Gwen Foster.[11]

Tyler Cline composed the new main theme and battle music, and also several composers will served in the game including Will Geraint Drake, Lewmoth, Philemon Holmes, Peter Jones, and Dibur. Some updates would release the following year.[12]

gollark: Overkill Reactor of Doom.
gollark: They changed the coolers or something.
gollark: It won't have the new changes, presumably.
gollark: I prefer NuclearCraft to the ReC reactors. The fission, anyway, its fusion reactor is boring.
gollark: 1.12 has all the cool new mods.
