Progress Update


Hello all, once again I am sorry for the lack of updates recently as I am 3/4ths of my way into my postgraduate degree and I’ve managed to get my life back on track for the time being.

Rest assured, we are very close to finishing up the new release which will take the form of an online repository. Big updates are coming and I consider the next update to be mostly finished and in need of polishing after which we will get to the custom character commissions!

Some things we have been working on include:

  • Polishing up combat and clarifying the rules (we’ve very thoroughly playtested them as written)
  • Location-based storytelling structured around scenes (similar to Stewpot and Firebrands)
  • Adding Dreams and Burdens to characters to provide them with a goal to pursue (that will bring them into conflict with each other) and weights from the past to be reckoned with.
  • More character generation options

Again, I am really sorry that I’ve taken this long - especially considering that this game has been in development for about 5 years (before COVID even!) but I am thankful for the grace extended to me in this period of time.

Myself and the rest of the team are still very committed to finishing this game. I can safely say that even in spite of my degree and various personal life challenges, I’ve managed to clock in at least 8 hours each week to work on this game. Even though the final result may not look like much in the grand scheme of things, it has come as a result of many hours of testing, refining, and research (both practical and academic).

Definitely, it will not be perfect but this game is fundamentally a commitment to me, it is my life and my bread - if you took away my job, my degree, my relationship, and the other opportunities in my life that bring me happiness, I would still possess the passion for this game and the joy/inspiration that tokusatsu brings to those that need it (this I know for certain because I’ve suffered a non-insignificant amount of loss and transformation in the past two years).

I eagerly anticipate receiving your feedback about the project as well!

Looking forward to it! My players and I love the system you guys make!

Oh! Trust me.

If you love the game now in its unfinished state, this next update (which almost completes CORE bar a few quality of life improvements) will eclipse this current version.

We are testing it really thoroughly, and it works!
