Title: Soshiro Hokkai returns...

...in a Kickstarter for an RPG game based on early USA history. He's the guest composer.

Good art, graphics, music and history while gameplay looks like Breath of Fire mixed with Advance Wars, this game needs to be funded and greenlit.

You can use a whip as weapon :P

Quite the unique idea for an RPG! I don't think I've ever seen one about early NA history before. At least not to this extent. I also like how they're using similar SNES sounds in order to compose the music. That'll be a great bit of nostalgia.

Shnabubula is a top-notch musician as well, and this is a rare thing for him to be composing for this game as he's the type that has said in the past he'd never compose for a video game. Having Hokkai on the billing also is icing to be sure. I'll probably be reporting on this for OSV in the near future. I'd love to interview them both.

Now the hardest part is to get funded.

Cool. I don't care what anyone says, the music on HoD rules.

Yeah, I just wrote up a little something for this....and then took a look at what the funding is at and I have to say that it seems to be getting off to a slow start. It's only got about 20% funding after well over a week. That's unusual for something that already had a bit of traction with a previous "Alpha-Build" kickstarter and the names it has composing for it.

This could really use the signal boost, so here's a interview I did with composer Shnabubula for the game....making mention of his working with Hokkai.
