Currently, we have the following people working on the project:

We will need help, which is why I'm soliciting this meeting publicly. The roles that we need additional support on are:

• Supporting full body asset rendering
• UI Assets (Menus, icons, etc)

To emphasize, anyone with experience rigging models in blender and interested in helping to develop an action RPG should contact me.

Old Updates

I want to invite any potential collaborators or advisors to the Seniriu Kick-Off meeting. For those that don't know, Seniriu is planned to be a first person role playing game to be developed into a vertical slice this year. Meeting starts Saturday, March 30, 2024 6:00 AM UTC on the Emerald Nova Discord general voice channel (https://discord.gg/dfcmrUPN2Z). We'll be going over design direction, feature set, and plans and goals to achieve playable vertical slice status over a 9 month period. If you think you might be interested in helping out the project, please come join us for the kick-off.

You play Rimush, a son of Emperor Dren. To prevent a galactic war, you are being married off to Vanessa Varygoff, the crown princess of rival power, Vistha. Delve through dungeons, complete quests, and build your relationship with the princess...

Kick off meeting was held to define scope of project. We have a Trello board to track tasks. We still need more art support if anyone that can model 3D stuff is interested.
