Cipher - First announcement

Ramon Verlinden, known from the Dutch MSX group Hegega, has added a new section to his SD-Snatcher fansite, announcing his upcoming RPG for MSX2 called Cipher. Cipher is a cyberpunk RPG, mainly inspired by the two all-time MSX classics SD-Snatcher and Illusion City.

The RPG is being developed using ASCII's RPG development engine Dante 2. This little known RPG engine turned out to be just right for creating an action-packed cyberpunk RPG for MSX. Cipher is not intended to become the best RPG ever for MSX, but the screenshots and mentioned capabilities of Dante 2 sure look promising. You can find 14 screenshots of several different sections of the game on Ramon's website, which also contains more background information on the RPG itself and Dante2. Ramon plans to release Cipher somewhere in 2005.
