Oh! Nice find!
Not long ago (I think) I actually came across some similar (less substantial) posts by one of the authors showing some old Genesis screenshots on tumblr. But I can't find it back (most un-searchable game name ever; don't make that mistake!) And maybe I confused it with Crescent Dream.
I see there are at least a couple other blog entries where they've posted Genesis screenshots (no discussion though)
The community is of paramount importance, and when we were creating Genesis we simply didn’t listen enough.
I seem to remember Genesis development being pretty secretive, with maybe two demos posted in total. Maybe I missed some preview, but aside from that I didn't know anything about it.
So, apparently, that Kickstarter ended successfully (what is it with modern webpages and hiding all dates?) It's great to see that they're still making games, and this time with funding. It grieves me that Genesis didn't make it very far -- obviously, the graphics were awesome.
That RPG engine was called the OHRRPGCE, which is still available today (though the latest version was put out in 2013, so it’s sort of tapered off)
We really need to quit with the long release cycles!
