Welcome

Tales from the Dancing Moon is a single player video game inspired by my favourite life-simulation games such as Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing and mixes it up in a 3D isometric RPG aesthetic inspired by games like Pillars of Eternity and Baldur's Gate.

Designed to be a casual title for anyone interested in classic-RPGs that focusses more on gameplay such as questing, NPC interaction, resource gathering, crafting, and building.

An an indie game, the story will be relatively short compared to other 'epic' titles in the same genre, but gameplay can continue by it’s sandbox nature.
