Apacies is a Passion Project
After years of finding Pokemon too repetitive in their mechanics, and gearing their games towards an ever younger audience, I want to make a game aimed at fans of that series that want a more adult story.
Apacies merges my love of Arizona and the strange stories that occurred here, with a party building strategy game. My goal for players isn’t to collect them all, it’s to let the player explore and interact with the world around them.
Apacies are meant to be living breathing parts to the world you explore. They inspire spiritual beliefs and technology, they run or fight when danger is present. Worldbuilding isn’t just a beautiful set-piece, it is a believable living world. Some Apacies are native to the area, while others are either willingly or unwillingly invasive to the area.
I wish to show the beauty and complication of Arizona and the many cultures that exist to this day.
