Lawmage Academy is an upcoming role-playing video game created by Jin Arabejo, under his alias "Verinius". The story features a silent protagonist, who has been invited to enter Lawmage Academy, a prestigious magic school.

The full version of the game is scheduled for release in 2023.

Gameplay

The player can choose between a male or female character before customizing them. Items will be picked randomly and assigned to one of the four houses depending on multiple choices. You will spend your days attending classes and learning new abilities, and also wander around campus, meet a variety of characters, craft items using ingredients you’ve gathered, and even leave the safety of the school to explore diverse locations filled with monsters, mystery, and danger.

Premise

Set in the 11th century, in a country full of wonders called Magusgaia, the main setting takes place at a prestigious magic school known as "Lawmage Academy", which trains students to learn magic and become one of the superiors as "Lawmages". The player must accomplish the main quest while uncovering the dark secrets.

Development

Lawmage Academy was conceived by Gian Miko “Jin” Arabejo, known as under his alias "Verinius", after he developed the idea about "a certain magic school game with a linear story and magical elements" when he wanted to make a fantasy game with story-driven experiences. He has taken much inspiration from the Harry Potter and Black Clover series, and the video games Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis and Octopath Traveler. From that moment, it was given the official name "Lawmage Academy".

In March 2018, he started using the RPG Maker MV game engine and practicing his idea as a prototype after watching tutorials, committing to “one hour a day for one year”. As a part of human rights lawyer, he is currently working as a part-time indie dev for studying level design, as well as writing dialogue, world-building, meaningful choices, interior design, day-and-night cycle for doing activities, and magical skills, but he also practices programming.

Battle mechanics

Like most RPG Maker games used for the turn-based role-playing genre, Lawmage Academy uses a combat style similar to Octopath Traveler using one of third-party MV Javascript plugins.

Composers

Tyler Cline, who serves as a composer for the new main theme and battle music, and other composers will also contribute to the game including Will Geraint Drake, Lewmoth, Philemon Holmes, Peter Jones, and Dibur. Some updates will be released the following year.

Versions

The first alpha version was the initial release as a prototype to introduce the story and core mechanics. It has been updated with bug fixes in the next three versions. Since its summer 2019 release on itch.io, the fifth alpha version of Lawmage Academy was released. Debuting on Steam in October 2020, the sixth alpha version of Lawmage Academy featured graphics improvements, rebalanced gameplay, and some rework of the core mechanics. The seventh alpha version is updated with storylines and more improved visuals. The eighth and latest alpha version, known as the Soloist Update, is a refined version for the solo route along with new battle backgrounds, balance changes, some added features, and bug fixes.

As of June 2022, the core mechanics and character development were greatly improved and playtime is shorter than in the previous versions.
