No one knows for sure, the only thing certain is danger, conspiracy, and loads of antics for the twins to get into!
Tails From Alteria is a Turn Based Rpg game, with an active combat system that’ll feel both familiar and unique.

Tails From Alteria has been in development now for a little over a year now! It’s been a wild ride, but I’m thankful I’ve gotten this far. In order to continue development at a reasonable pace, some funding is needed to keep everything running smooth while I work on the game! This includes paying the artists, hiring an additional helper and other miscellaneous legal fees and licenses. There’s also the cost of opening a business, software licenses, and submitting our game to platforms such as Steam, itch.io, and possible console platforms.
Don’t forget to keep up with us on twitter, discord, & itch!
Technical difficulties, health related problems, and other unforeseen circumstances may hinder development, but we’re confident in our abilities to work through them. The game’s core functions have all been developed and now it’s a matter of creating more art assets, refining the core features, and expounding upon the original level’s design. If everything’s smooth sailing Tails From Alteria will launch in February of 2021 for PC (Steam, Itch)! Personally I would love to bring the game to consoles, too! While the current focus lies on finishing and releasing the game for PC, console ports are not out of the question.
