After one year of full time work, I present to you my next game for our beloved Playstation 1, an RPG called "Zia and the Goddesses of Magic" In a world where magic is Queen, people lived happily and safely under the protection of the ten guardian goddesses. Out of the unknown came a powerful demon who brought trouble upon the world, and all the goddesses got captured and locked away. Evil creatures started to take hold of the nearby villages and threatened the inhabitants. Zia is a little girl who lives in a village in the mountains with her parents. When she was younger, she discovered by chance a spell book and started to practice magic. One day, an old wise man came from the mountain and asked Zia's parents for shelter for one night. At the dinner table, he told Zia about the existence of several spell books spread around the world. Zia got very interested and begged her parents to let her go and look for these books to learn more about magic spells. During her journey, Zia will discover the trapped goddesses. Now is your chance to help her rescue the goddesses from the evil creatures by casting magic spells! The battle system uses magical formulas based on symbols that you learn throughout the game, you must use the Triangle, Square, Cross & Circle buttons to replicate the magic spell formula and cast it to hit the enemy. Each enemy type is more sensitive to certain magic than others.

Awesome!! Can you tell use more about the development process? Did you create this alone? What hardware/Software you use. Will buy a copy soon
I created this alone (programming, script, scenario, map, etc...) except for the graphics and musics which I gathered around different CC-BY licenses source. (refmap tilesets, opengameart.org), and the cover graphic that I commissioned to an artist. I used the official PSY-Q SDK and my own engine made from scratch (in C language), I used a retail PS1 + an Xplorer FX cartridge flashed with caetla and linked to my PC for transfer/debug. some tools and dev library/tutorial for PS1 are available on my website: http://orionsoft.free.fr/ (last link bottom page, then PS1 / tools section)
Great work Orion as before & I loved your games on Dreamcast as well. I got your Alice's Mom's Rescue & just ordered this game by PayPal for Dreamcast one days ago.
