Legend of Legaia

"God created the heavens, the earth, and the seas. After creating all things in the universe, god created humans to rule over the world. Yet, while possessing the wisdom of god, humans were physically weaker than the wild beasts, and impulsive in spirit. Many times did the humans come close to dying out forever. Concerned about the humans' future, god gave them a mighty force with which to aid them. It was the Seru. Since the dawn of human memory, known as history, humans lived together with creatures known as Seru. The Seru lived together with humans, always obeying them, and making the humans many times stronger than before. When not worn by a human, a Seru looks much like a stone figure. However... Upon touching a human, a Seru changes form and gives that human secret abilities. With a Seru, a human can lift objects heavier than itself and even fly in the air at will. However, that era came to an end. Appearing from out of nowhere, the Mist covered the land, bringing to an end prosperous symbiosis between humans and Seru. After the thick Mist came, the Seru, who once obeyed humans, rebelled against them. The Seru began attacking humans at will. Seru that attached themselves to humans controlled their minds and turned them into evil beasts. As if forsaken by god, human civilization collapsed. It was the twilight of humanity. Those who escaped the Mist inhabited the desolate areas and protected each other. Now, their faint hope is their only source of inspiration."—Prologue

Legend of Legaia (レガイア伝説  Regaia Densetsu) is a PlayStation action role-playing game developed by Prokion and Contrail. 

About me

When I started this project, I had two reasons to develop it: 
1 - To learn Unity and put it as my portifolio
2 - We need a Remake of Legend of Legaia

But for now, I'm doing it just for the love of the game, and it became my hobby since I've started. So, here we are.

Remake and Copyrights

Since I've started, many other developers had starting their own projects, and it does not bother me. Every point of view from the game is welcome, there is some remakes that will bring new features, others are doing with their own stylized way. Mine will focus in the original mechanics of the game with a modern aspect. So, I don't want to innovate or create anything that doesn't exist in Legaia.

I cannot, and I will not develop it for commercial purposes. It means that when the demo comes out, it will be free. 

But of course, donations are welcome :)
