Shiness is an Indie Game that Looks Like a Big Budget RPG


by Nick Dowell

Kickstarter always has interesting and cool game ideas, but there aren't many that look as beautiful as Shiness.

Shiness is a game being developed by French indie developers Ynnis Interactive. It follows five protagonists as they travel through the Sky Islands. So far, that's really all we have in terms of plot, but the team's Kickstarter page has a plethora of art, backstory, and character designs to keep potential backers interested. There's also a trailer that gives a bit more exposition.



The team has been working on Shiness for about three years now and is asking for $100,000 on their Kickstarter page. If all goes well, the game will be released Q1 next year on PC and Mac.
