It’s an RPG Maker-inspired game that rallied a successful Indiegogo campaign and ventured through the waters of Steam Early Access before finally releasing back in September.</p>
<p>Its success is surprising in part because single-player RPGs have not known much success in the Early Access waters, and in a sea of similar 2D games, it’s managed to stand out with solid mechanics and a charismatic sense of charm. </p>
<p>So today on the Gamasutra Twitch channel, we took the time to stream <em>CrossCode </em>with two of the game’s developers: Felix Klein, who’s been working on the game in some form for seven years, and Deniz Akbulut, who composed the music and claims to have suggested the game’s “stupidest” ideas. </p>
<p>If you want to know more about succeeding with single-player RPGs on Early Access, you should click on the video above to watch our full conversation.
