To Be A Hero is a fantasy RPG developed in RPG Maker MV. It tells the story of five friends who travel across their homeland, Underra, in order to uncover the dark secret, truth, and manipulation behind the war with the neighboring country, Koth. The game follows the themes of embracing differences in others, finding a sense of belonging, and extending kindness towards those in need.
“To Be A Hero is a game that I've always wanted to develop because it reflects my journey of discovery and growth as a person. Having been bullied throughout my childhood made me emotionally weak but video games allowed for me to cope with that insecurity and turn it into motivation to do good for the world. Since then, I've always wanted to make a game that gave someone else encouragement and hope like they've done for me during my weaker moments. ”
