Makoto Kedouin's RPG Developer Bakin sample game is now available for free

SmileBoom has released the sample game made from RPG Developer Bakin by Makoto Kedouin of Corpse Party fame. The game is titled Reines Du Sabbat: Queen of Sacrifice, and an exported release version is available to download for free via the software's official website. Those who have formal access to RPG Developer Bakin can also now find the game's project data and assets added via the most recent update patch.

This is the culmination of the collaborative project that was first announced in July. Queen of Sacrifice is made as a reconstruction of the prologue to the original Reines Du Sabbat, which Kedouin made with RPG Maker and released for PC-98 in 1995. However, Kedouin-san was not alone in this project, as it also had Norihisa Kochiwa designing the logo, Nao Shirahane working on the character designs, and Mao Hamamoto composing the soundtrack.

You can find the trailer and details on Reines Du Sabbat: Queen of Sacrifice right below. The sample game is available in Japanese, English, and Chinese.

The creator of the popular horror game “Corpse Party,” KEDOUIN, has released the new sample game “REINES DU SABBAT Queen of Sacrifice.,” created using Bakin, free of charge on the official website. Along with this release, the game project data and related assets for this title have been implemented into the Bakin itself at no additional cost.

“REINES DU SABBAT Queen of Sacrifice.” is a 3D & 2D fantasy-adventure game that reconstructs the prologue of KEDOUIN’s debut work “REINES DU SABBAT” using Bakin. While grappling with a “game creation tool capable of handling 3D” for the first time, KEDOUIN successfully built his distinctive worldview using the core features available up through today’s Update Ver. 2.2. Although the estimated playtime is about one hour, the game is packed with many elements that can serve as inspiration for game creation, including maps, events, characters, sound, and mini-games.

We hope that Bakin users will not only make use of the assets included in this game, but also draw inspiration from its world and scenario for their own creative projects.

Details on the production process of this sample game are also introduced on the development blog “Made with RPG Developer Bakin,” so please be sure to check it out as well.

Message from Chief Director Mr. KEDOUIN

This project—“to create an interesting sample game within a limited timeframe using RPG Developer Bakin to its fullest”—has now been successfully completed.

This title is not a direct port of the original work, but a brand-new story that shares the same world and setting. I have poured a tremendous amount of care and passion into it, hoping that both newcomers and those who feel a sense of nostalgia will enjoy the experience.

This theme originates from the very first game I created during my student days.

For those who own Bakin, the internal game data is also provided, and I sincerely hope this opportunity encourages you to explore Bakin as well—and perhaps, just as I once did, discover the joy of creating games for yourself.

As a sample game by design, the story is depicted up through Chapter One.

That said, my creative spark has been reignited.... so, I’d love to work on Chapter Two and beyond someday! ( ◠‿◠ )
