While I love a good grind, and will allow for it, I really want the purpose to be more about the exploration and discovery. Why did the ship crash, what knowledge and technology did we lose, what kind of creatures live on the planet, and how can the lost colony learn from it all.
Mitigating environmental hazards is more important than in classic RPGs, and defeating hostile creatures can be done without killing them, they can also be charmed or frightened if you learn how.
Those are some of the ways I hope help it stand out.
Gameplay wise, it's structured like a classic turn based RPG, but with more of a survival twist. HP and healing is kept low, stat growth is more about finding ingredients and knowledge and crafting better armor / developing Nano Commands (basically, spells)
You play as a group called "Reclaimers" tasked with the specific purpose to go in and explore, secure, and salvage as much as possible. You start with all 6 party members, each with their own expertise. Each has their own useful exploration skill, for example.
Thank you for your interest. The story takes place centuries after the colony ship carrier crashed, some ships beached and that's what the survivors built around. The Wreckage is still mostly underwater and unexplored, and there are often missions to go in to salvage equipment.
Thank you so much!
I was actually recommended this video by google today and saved it to reference later.
Thank you so much, I see some Jean Giraud inspired art on your timeline, he's definitely a major inspiration on the clothing.
Six characters and icons representing each are lined up in a spritesheet. Each of the characters are drawn in 3 directions, facing forward, facing to the side, and facing away.

If I were to make a Wheel of Time game, it would be something along the lines of classic Fire Emblem games. Here is a concept I made for a weave making system. I don't really think the fanbase's power levels work well for an RPG, so I made my own :)

The Pharate, a pink insectoid creature holds one of its four arms out while the others play with a sugar crystal in preparation to eat it. It's body is plated and purple, and a pink silk-like cape flows over their back
The Eminent, a planet sized geodesic sphere, is surrounded by interstellar ships being sent out to investigate the Universe
reposting all these lovelies together for art shares <3 Please let me know any ways I can make my alt text better.
The Strega has a serpentine green body and sharp claws, crowned with headwear that appears to be the gaping maw of a snake. Ornaments catch the light to appear like fangs.
The Aquarian, an anthropomorphic creature inspired by octopi, decked in flowing gold and jewelry holds up a monocle to inspect something not shown
The Oculus, part cosmic avian, part machine, extends their clawed hands to hold something up. It's face has multiple eyes and instead of a beak there is a mechanical light. It's chest opens up to a floating moon inside a sea of stars.
The Magus, a greyscale depiction of a god for a science fiction game. The magus stands with his hand held out as if holding something and looking at it with 4 glowing eyes from a reflective mask nestled in a hood inspired by flowers. Their body is covered in fur and their fingers look to be made of chalk. The symbol of the Magus is in the bottom left corner.
You are a god, and the Universe is ending.
Six deities cooperate and compete to prepare for the end so that they might return when the Universe expands again.
Each god has their own perspective on "the end", some fear it, some welcome it, some wish to ascend beyond it.

The Oculus is a very old god, a collector of lost knowledge and technology. They are very well aware of the coming collapse and want to preserve as much of their knowledge as possible, constructing a cosmic egg of sorts out of arcane technology.

The Eminent, a planet sized geodesic sphere, is surrounded by interstellar ships being sent out to investigate the Universe
The Eminent is a planet sized AI that was constructed from fragments of a previous universe. Billions of species live within and work with the AI, which has spent eons calculating how to help the most life survive Universal collapse, which the citizens refer to as th Prophecies.
The Strega has a serpentine green body and sharp claws, crowned with headwear that appears to be the gaping maw of a snake. Ornaments catch the light to appear like fangs.
The Strega is the oldest of the pantheon and has easily survived countless "ends". They are a hunter that seeks to become stronger than the Universe itself so that one day they can be the one to consume it.
