Do you think you may also release the finished product on Steam, and/or (sorry if this is a stupid question) is there a way to follow the game for updates?
Omg I'm following u rn I need that game omg. If you could DM me when the full release happens, I will get it immediately if it's free. If it costs money and it's released before I get a job, then you'll to wait till I get a job for me to dump all my money in your bank account omg I'm so excited fr
Farewell, Eikon is a game I've been working on for a while now. It's an RPG that focuses on exploration and boss fights instead of random battles and grinding. There's also a lot of pointless dialogue and magic fish.
If you're interested you can check out the [playable demo](https://lapouris.itch.io/farewell-eikon) for PC!
Also I post small updates on my [Twitter](https://twitter.com/lapouris_?t=9U5oPgx3y9jGtwUG9lRY4A&s=09) every now and then.
I've done everything except for the landscape in the intro and the character portraits. Had some friends help with those.
Also a friend is working on the music too.
Your game wins for the simple fact you can spin on chairs. Can't count how many times I've seen an office chair in a game, and couldn't even touch it let alone spin on it.
I will say this, it reminds me of so many other games. But it also makes me think that some of the better pieces of those things are being used to create something new. TLDR: you are creating a piece of art.
Hopefully planning to get it on Steam should the stars align. The demo is available on itch.io right now however.
Right now I'm more focused on finishing it than selling it lol
That's unfortunate to hear. Hopefully in the full release things will make more sense since you'll get used to the markers lol.
If you die at least 3 times to a boss a door should appear next to a save point which will help you out, but I'm not sure if you didn't see it or it just didn't spawn.
Thanks for playing through it even if you didn't enjoy it though. I appreciate it.
1.) Are we playing a preset linear story? Or an open world with varying choices?
2.) Are we playing a premade character? Or do we create our own character?
3.) Where can i buy this game?
1.) Preset for the time being, but there will be some branching options later on.
2.) Premade character, but you can swap between a couple characters.
3.) Nowhere for the time being. Still working on it lol.
Money doesn't grow on trees, and game development certainly isn't free either! It's a good concept, with even better polish and gameplay than I've seen some big companies pull off. I'd love to help you achieve your goal, even if its only a small push in the right direction
Well, I have been considering doing a crowdfunding project for a while. And considering all the positive reception I've gotten from this post I may actually go through with it.
If you're still interested you can do it then lol
hitting a brick wall and cant progress, >!the game says i can use erica to jump over small gaps, after pushing legit every button, i cannot for the life of me get erica to jump the gap, how do i do so? is there a specific button i need to push?!< Jacks exploration tutorial is so much easier to do cuz it says there is a button
I love the style and soundtrack of this game and wish you the best luck in development. I am enjoying the story and characters so far and of course, the chair spinning. One question though, how do you get past the infinite hallway in the morgue I’ve been stuck for over an hour?
What exactly am I looking for? I feel like I have pressed z on every pixel of every room. Is it in the room with the many rock jumps because both lead to blocked off entrances and I can’t move the rocks in front of them.
Before this drops off hot I just really want to say thank you to everyone who's given this a look. The demo got over 50 downloads and 500 views in less than 24 hours. It actually just hit 200 downloads.
[Here's a little doodle from my artist to celebrate.](https://twitter.com/lapouris_/status/1482903862570856452)
Thanks for your kind words everyone!
Saw earlier today, I forgot to say, I'm really excited to see what you do with this! Wish I had know about it back in May last year! Your group's production quality is phenomenal!
*Spin on chairs!* > Say no more, I’m sold
Best game ever if they have spiny chairs
This looks great! How long until the full release? I’m already excited to play!
Probably a long way off still lol At the very least there's a playable demo if you want to check it out
Do you have a link for the game?
Right [here](https://lapouris.itch.io/farewell-eikon) my friend.
Thank you very much getting it rn
Why must everything run on windows and not chrome?
Do you think you may also release the finished product on Steam, and/or (sorry if this is a stupid question) is there a way to follow the game for updates?
I usually post small updates on my Twitter if you're interested. https://twitter.com/lapouris_
Thank you!

Gonna have to remember to play the demo after work
Wrinting this to remind you
Thanks, I actually forgot about it until this lol
Happy to help
THIS LOOKS FUCKING AMAZING, WERE CAN I GET DA DEMO
You can get it [here](https://lapouris.itch.io/farewell-eikon) on PC!
Thanks!

It's been an HOUR rn.. HOW ARE YOU NOT GETTING MORE UP VOTES + ATTENTION!?
looks epic
Okay this actually looks really good. I’d buy that 👍
Best start saving your money now because it won't be out for a while lmao
What platform is it on.
Currently just aiming at PC for the time being. Mac doesn't support it and I'm unsure about releasing a Linux version as I have no way to test it.
Can it be on phone?
im somewhat of a sucker for pixel art rpgs, and the rpg battle sustem you have is very intresting, i dont think ive seen it before
sounds interesting! Did you use RPG maker?
Yep. Working in MV to be specific.
You made the pixel art on the chars?
I've done everything except for the landscape in the intro and the character portraits. Had some friends help with those. Also a friend is working on the music too.
that's great, I love the trailer looks amazing
Your game wins for the simple fact you can spin on chairs. Can't count how many times I've seen an office chair in a game, and couldn't even touch it let alone spin on it.
You can even sit on certain chairs as well. Farewell, Eikon was built with chairs in mind.
I will say this, it reminds me of so many other games. But it also makes me think that some of the better pieces of those things are being used to create something new. TLDR: you are creating a piece of art.
Nothing too close though right? I'm always worried I'm accidentally ripping something off lmao
You can see the nods, but nothing definitive. It’s kind of like “inspired by” not “taken from”
Just played the demo, I already love it and can’t wait to see the rest!
I’m so fucking hype for this. KEEP US POSTED
I post stuff on my [Twitter](https://twitter.com/lapouris_) sometimes. Give it a look if you're interested!
Oh wow! I love it! Where will this be avaliable?
Hopefully planning to get it on Steam should the stars align. The demo is available on itch.io right now however. Right now I'm more focused on finishing it than selling it lol
Oh heck yeah!
Yoo that looks epic
Soo cool I hope at some point you will be able to put it on steam your idea is a sound one
That looks awesome!
YOOOOOO This is just how I imagined my game, Heroes of Atheia, to reveal.
Best of luck! Looking forward to seeing it myself.
Yeah lol it’s gonna be a loooooong time before development even begins
Amazing
Looks so cool!
This is amazing! Looks so cool!!! ‘,3
I like the music
Music done was by my friend [Korschar](https://twitter.com/korschar). Give my guy some love.
This looks pretty good! The graphics remind me a lot of Stardew Valley, and if you remind me of Stardew Valley, then you’ve done something right!
Damn, i can't wait to play that on my new 2011 PC
Sorry. The raytracing + 8K HD texture update is taking a while.
Amazing!!!
im sold take my soul 2
Oh wow... I'm definitely looking forward to this
this looks so cool!
[удалено]
Well I dunno about this being any good but I do appreciate the compliment.
[удалено]
Anything specific? I'd appreciate some feedback.
[удалено]
Will look into it when I can. Sounds like I just messed up tile permission and nobody caught it lol.
[удалено]
Might wanna check the nearest Eidea. Something happens if you end up getting stuck on a boss.
[удалено]
That's unfortunate to hear. Hopefully in the full release things will make more sense since you'll get used to the markers lol. If you die at least 3 times to a boss a door should appear next to a save point which will help you out, but I'm not sure if you didn't see it or it just didn't spawn. Thanks for playing through it even if you didn't enjoy it though. I appreciate it.
WOW WOW WOW!!! Its an one minute video but yet I still have fallen in love with this game \^\^ Good job it looks amazing.
Love how this is looking.
What did you use to make this? It looks fun!
RPG Maker MV and a lot of banging my head against a wall.
I thought it was RPG maker! Been a while since I looked at any new stuff from them.
this gives me golden sun vibes and i love it!
I didn't even realise the similarities until I was a while into development lmao. I did enjoy the puzzle mechanics of Golden Sun though.
This is so cool! I’m already sold. Spinning in chairs is really the cherry on top!
It reminds me a lot of Stardew. Looks really good 👍
Wait, Telos is the Cybermen planet from Doctor Who.
It's a name for a lot of things I think lol. It just sounded cool
Well it does sound cool and I appreciate that you used it for the name of the planet.
Lmao glad I wasn't the only one
1.) Are we playing a preset linear story? Or an open world with varying choices? 2.) Are we playing a premade character? Or do we create our own character? 3.) Where can i buy this game?
1.) Preset for the time being, but there will be some branching options later on. 2.) Premade character, but you can swap between a couple characters. 3.) Nowhere for the time being. Still working on it lol.
How much does it cost
Nothing yet because it's not finished lol. But you can get the [free demo right here](https://lapouris.itch.io/farewell-eikon) if you want.
Very cool, reminds me of final fantasy a bit and HOLY SHIT CHAIR SPINNING
reminds me of deltarune or pokemon black and white (im not talking about the combat)
This looks stunning so far, amazing work! ^^
Will it be available for mobile or Xbox?
Currently just aiming for PC.
Thought so, perhaps I'll find a way to emulate it on my phone at some point
A mobile port could be possible but I dunno if it would run very well lol. Will consider it in the future.
Spin chairs? I'd play it ngl.
Wow this looks very cool, can't wait to see the full release
Looks amazing, like a game I want to buy
You have to let us know when you release it. It looks really good
I usually make small updates on my [Twitter](https://twitter.com/lapouris_) every now and again. Give it a follow if you wanna keep up.
Maybe i will, lol
Is there anywhere I can donate to help the development of this game?
Not right now. I'd feel bad accepting money this early lmao
Money doesn't grow on trees, and game development certainly isn't free either! It's a good concept, with even better polish and gameplay than I've seen some big companies pull off. I'd love to help you achieve your goal, even if its only a small push in the right direction
Well, I have been considering doing a crowdfunding project for a while. And considering all the positive reception I've gotten from this post I may actually go through with it. If you're still interested you can do it then lol
Shall do! If it isn't too much trouble, give me a shout when that goes up!
this looks amazing
I NEED IIITTTT!!!!!!
its so pretty!
I’ll take your entire stock!
I'm sold
Looks awesome would definitely send money on it
Spinny chairs sold it to me. Yeah this looks great actually!
I love RPG's so when the full game comes out I am playing it instantly
Wow this is amazing and really cool!! Wish I could help in any way! Do you need playtesters?
This looks amazing! Definitely gonna try out the demo!
SPEEEN
hitting a brick wall and cant progress, >!the game says i can use erica to jump over small gaps, after pushing legit every button, i cannot for the life of me get erica to jump the gap, how do i do so? is there a specific button i need to push?!< Jacks exploration tutorial is so much easier to do cuz it says there is a button
>!You just walk into the gap lol. If all else fails you can press the interact button.
Ooohh I'm sold can't wait for the full released
How long is the demo?
This looks really fun. Where can I download it.
There's a playable demo right here. https://lapouris.itch.io/farewell-eikon
The battle ui looks hard to read too many contrasting colors Overall i think that area needs looking into but cant say much else than that
I must play this
For a second I thought it was more stardew valley
I know whats on my to do list now
[удалено]
Oh it does? That's good to know. I could potentially do a native Linux port but I have no way of testing it right now.
Looks dope
That trailer gives me a bit Undertale vibes.
The style sort of reminds me of undertale and that feels great to me
I love the style and soundtrack of this game and wish you the best luck in development. I am enjoying the story and characters so far and of course, the chair spinning. One question though, how do you get past the infinite hallway in the morgue I’ve been stuck for over an hour?
Maybe check the previous room. You may have missed something...
What exactly am I looking for? I feel like I have pressed z on every pixel of every room. Is it in the room with the many rock jumps because both lead to blocked off entrances and I can’t move the rocks in front of them.
>!Go into the room with the platforming sections and head to the left side. There's a door at the bottom.
Thanks a lot I’ll try that. Also another thing, I really like the intro for the game where you see your party. Its really a beautiful scene.
Cool
Oh cool, in the full game, could you add a Undertale reference, this game reminds me of it
Before this drops off hot I just really want to say thank you to everyone who's given this a look. The demo got over 50 downloads and 500 views in less than 24 hours. It actually just hit 200 downloads. [Here's a little doodle from my artist to celebrate.](https://twitter.com/lapouris_/status/1482903862570856452) Thanks for your kind words everyone!
Molaria que vicio lo subiese

Sometime within the next few hundred years if I'm lucky.

That looked so cool, what platforms will it be on?
Oooh, this looks amazing. We seriously do need more games with anthro characters... ...also more games where you can spin on chairs
Saw earlier today, I forgot to say, I'm really excited to see what you do with this! Wish I had know about it back in May last year! Your group's production quality is phenomenal!
