Tales of Partia

Tales of Partia, is a game based on the world of Partia, where I wanted to mix its SRPG system with more of Choose Your Own Adventure-like, smaller, more episodic adventures of new and old heroes and heroines. This is its first (and hopefully not the last) offering, and I have combined the first two episodes, that is, I originally intended each episode to be its own stand alone game, but then thought the continuation would make a better arc for the difficulty of the game based on how players manage their play.

It has been slightly over 5 years since I was able to complete the Partia trilogy. It was an all consuming effort that took more than ten years, and frankly, caused PTSD (a failed marriage and financial troubles may contribute to that lol) about starting a solo game project. But kind people and their encouragements about how they enjoyed Partia 3 gave me some courage and motivation, and I started working on Tales of Partia about four years ago, a lot of times failing to make much progress although I find the story and characters, which are roughly based on a TRPG game that Mike Schultz ran and I, along with Mark and Eric participated, quite suitable for a decent video game experience.Anyways, so I guess sometimes you get to your destination not by running, but walks and crawls, as long as you don't give up.

So here is a game, that is aptly finished for my 45th birthday, to some of you, my friends, who may enjoy.

Thank you.
