Just a few months remain until Shouzou Kaga’s free indie game Vestaria Saga I is released to the public. Despite its humble origins, the game has been attracting a good amount of attention due to Kaga’s name.
Hard Worker: 15% chance of acting again.
While it’s nice to be excited, Kaga posted a friendly message on his blog advising fans to keep their expectations in check. Apparently he’s been receiving a lot of encouraging messages, which he’s happy about, but he’s afraid people are forgetting what the game really is.
We’ve been calling Vestaria Saga an “indie game”, but that’s not to say it’s comparable to a commercial indie game. Essentially, it’s simply Mr. Kaga’s “fan game” that he’s been making with the Fire Emblem equivalent of RPG Maker, with the help of a few like-minded volunteers.
So definitely don’t treat this as the fully-fledged follow up to TearRing Saga or Berwick Saga or Kaga’s latest attempt to dethrone the Fire Emblem series (although you can as a joke). Still, like I implied in the comments, any game release from Kaga is an exciting occasion, even if there’s no budget involved!
