CLASSIC SOULSLIKE RPG

Though a land in turmoil, Baltane is not a place without opportunity. Take on part time job side quests to make extra gold and complete special quest lines. “Someone’s gotta clear these monsters out of the sewer”

Step aside from challenging godlike beings to take on life skill endeavors such as, Fishing, Mining, and Crafting.

CORE GAMEPLAY

Fast paced, stamina based combat system with a heavy emphasis on weapon weight. In combat the player can attack, dodge, roll, and parry their opponents moves, classic capabilities found in souls-like games with its own unique touches.

Melee combat revolves around managing stamina, using unique weapon skills and the skillful usage of blocks, parries, magic and finishers. In Baltane aura manipulators imbue magic weapons with powerful spells, allowing you to blend magic into any melee encounter.

FADE’s feedback loop revolves around exploring areas, finding forgotten items, opening passageways and remapping Baltane’s aura mantles to recover the trade routes.

In between this endeavor, the player will find lairs of the homunculus behind Baltane’s ruin and have to defeat them to progress the story.

MORE ABOUT US AND OUR TEAM

What is Fade

FADE has been in development for 4 years and is a third person dark fantasy rpg inspired by hit games like Fable and Dark Souls. It has a strong sense of narrative and it’s plot is inspired by Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Why FADE?

FADE is a passion project I started working on in between shifts at tough jobs, moments of reprieve in college classes. I missed the feeling I got playing FABLE and I wanted to craft an experience like that with Soulslike Combat.
Who am I?

I’m Houston Holmes, a solo developer who is obsessed with long winded intros, over the top action scenes, and most importantly, fantasy games. I’ve been working on games for 8 years as a hobby alongside a full time job.
Our Journey So Far?

FADE’s been in early access for 4 years and has garnered a small fanbase. We made it onto IGN, got to meet a board of judges that reviewed FADE and said it was promising, but we had much further to go.
Where are we now?

Right now, FADE’s team includes a slew of freelance voiceactors, artists and me as the lead dev. Currently we’re trying to churn into full gear to finish FADE in two years.
Why Kickstarter?

We chose Kickstarter cause some of our favorite titles have it to thank for being made reality. We believe in community and gamers will support the projects they want to play. We’re seeking $10,000 in funding to pay our 3d artist to design FADE’s bosses and craft our character creator.
