Recently while doing something on Facebook, I found some link that points out to a game on Kickstarter, the game is called shiness. Shiness is a game currently being developed by Ynnis Interactive from France. The game is supposed to be a Role Playing Game, featuring martial combat and magic. Here is the link to Shiness on Kickstarter. Here is a quick overview of the game :

| The world where the game takes place |
So what make this game interesting, first it is really ambitious, being a role playing game, it is not like those turn based role playing game, instead they created the combat to be more fluid. There is no transition between exploration mode and fight mode, this is a things that lacks in those japanese role playing game that renders the enemy invisible in exploration mode and suddenly the enemy comes out and attack you ( no offense Dragon Quest, I still love you ).

| The game combat remind me about Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Full Burst |
The battle itself range from 1 vs 1 to 3 vs 3 according to the developer don't want to put all of them into one arena, instead the fight will be focused on 1 on 1 battle where the other two will support the main character from the side. Shiness is not focused on just martial combat, they added some cool magic attacks to begin with. They created something called Shi which is used to fuel the magic spell, by charging your Shi you will be able to launch the spell into the enemy, in order to use it effectively, mastery of alchemy is required. Seems pretty basic but it still on funding stage so the developer might add something later on

Shiness featured diverse quest available in the game world, and the quest is not like the one you get on generic MMO where you need to kill this and that, instead they wanted to increase the variety in the quest by telling the player to Interogate, Investigate or defeat a monster. Multiple ways to complete the quest is also available, aggressive player could just thrown an all out attack on the opponent, while a passive one could render the enemy useless before going through the quest. Shiness also feature a hunting system, where player could gather a new items, the animals in Shiness world is harmless and shy so they would rather escape than fight back
Just what I say earlier the game is really ambitious, instead of using english language, they created their own language, and it is a good one, it sounds like japanese at first though, hopefully using a new language will help us immerse in the game world just like what The Elder Scrolls Skyrim do.
What do you feel about this game? ambitious enough? for me this game could be in one of my waiting list, feel free to write your opinion in the comment section
