A neat way of getting some streams of your game up. You may want to add a description on here...most people aren't gonna bother reading the page. Give the community some ideas about gameplay, type of game, and anything in the gaming world that's similar. It'll help folks decide if they wanna play.
Good luck in any case...we always need more indie development.
Here's a rundown of some information about the game:
This game is called Realm of the Tempest, an ever expanding fantasy adventure RPG, set in an ethereal dream world. Developed by Bramble Gate Studios, this project stirs together artistic endeavors with a compendium of problem solving techniques, for a rich and rewarding gameplay experience.
For the adventurers, Realm of the Tempest hosts a wide breadth of lush worlds to explore. More experienced players can play competitively, racing quickly to complete each campaign for the fastest time records. Whether you’re into exploring, or competitive play, there’s options in this game for you.

CampaignsThere are 3 completed campaigns, 2 more currently in development, and another planned for a total of 6. Each campaign increases in complexity, calling for differing strategies and unique gameplay solutions. Once a player is experienced enough to compete, picking a campaign can be made based on what sounds like a comfortable time investment.
• Rhunia: 5 - 10 minutes
• Etzland: 10 - 20 minutes
• Haxlyn: 40 - 80 minutes
• Valimor: About 2 hours
• Kalroth: About 4 hours
Each campaign is a part of a single overarching narrative, still in progress.
StoryNarrative development has been saved for last, due to how game writing seems to unavoidably permeate into the fields of religion, politics, humanities, psychology, mental health and so on... None of which was within the original scope of the project for a single young computer scientist with minimal artistic talent. However, some progress has already been made.
The central plot points for the story are as follows, in chronological order:
• An unknown figure known as a Gatekeeper falls from the ethereal stream into reality, causing a spread of corruption.
• Nine (or eleven*) forbidden books are leaked from sacred holy vaults.
○○ (One of the books can be counted as a 3-set, or singular)
• The unknown Gatekeeper accumulates power through the spread of chaos, working in the shadows under the name "Dominus".
• War breaks out among the seven kingdoms of the realm. Dominus is defeated. All kingdoms but Talonovia fall in the process. The majority of high ranking rulers and holy figures are lost in combat. War ends.
• Due to the failed containment of the forbidden books, religious order, political stances, and general lifestyle habits seem obsolete amidst the remaining chaos. Copies are everywhere.
• The player enters the game.
• Talonovian Council sends mixed messages to the player regarding monument activities.
• Outside of town at a serene mountain shrine, a druid sage waits patiently to offer the main quest line.
○○ The player is asked to obtain 5 golden relics, obtained from the boss monsters now inhabiting the citadels of the fallen kingdoms of Rhunia, Etzland, Haxlyn, Valimor, and Kalroth. These relics are said to help restore the realm to its proper order.
• The rest... is spoilers!
A recent addition to the game is the quest journal, where key events are logged.
Gameplay VideoNo official game trailer has been made yet, but here is a 2 hour gameplay video through the first four campaigns.
