Reflections is an RPG Maker game laid out in a classic style. Battle 4+ bosses, and 30+ enemies. Save a Princess! Slay a Dragon! Restore a Kingdom! Return Spring to the Land!
I looked at the early Dragon Quest games and I thought to myself, I have the tools to make that. And so I set off on an epic adventure to craft a game, and finish a project for the first time since I languished in the halls of school. It's since grown out of proportion and become a fixation. Which, hey, I'm making it!
The game is laid out in 4 bite-size pieces. Each is governed by its own boss,. Juicy lore tidbits litter the realm. Mythology follows you everywhere. The White God is always watching.
I chose to work with Slavic mythology simply because I didn't know much about it. Now, I know a little more and have some fabulous monsters. There isn't much available Not-Greece Slavic myths and legends, so I did have to generalize my search. I tried to cover more than just Poland and the other Russian-influenced countries that dominate the scene. Greek and Scandinavian were comfort zones for me, but even there I found myself learning more and more. My understanding of the Indo-European mythological mess grows and grows.
The Spring God and the Underworld Goddess dominate the background, what with the eternal winter. But consider the Moon God, the Sun God. What happened to the Divine Twins? Who is the mysterious Sky Goddess? Why is everyone obsessed with bees?
And where do monsters go when they die?
