As I posted earlier I recently came across this game and though it looked pretty darn awesome. So awesome, in fact, that I reached out to the developers to see if they would be so kind as to answer a few questions for us in the form of one of our CheerfulGhost interviews. They have agreed and so I wanted to see if you fellow Mirthful Spirits had any questions you'd like me to add to the interview. Post 'em in the comments and I'll pick out the best ones to include with the interview. :)

SNES-ish action RPG incoming!

So I was skimming through some Steam Greenlight games and noticed this game with a serious Secret of Mana / Secret of Evermore vibe was recently greenlit.

This game was nowhere on my radar, but I am glad I stumbled on it by chance 'cause it looks seriously cool. A retro action RPG with on-line co-op? sign me up!

This game looks great and is now on my radar. Have you read anywhere about a release date?

Q: When will the game be released and on what platforms can I play it?
A: We hope that the game will be ready for release in 2013. As of now, it will be for the Windows platform only!

Love it. SoM / Ragnarok Online feelings.

Caffo: I got the same feels from look at it as well. Ragnarok Online was awesome until they kept changing the graphics to something really far away from what it was at the start.

Yeah I meant my original post to be a little more informative, but my newborn son had other plans. :p I ended up having to type the post one handed.

It seems like there is a lot of retro styled games coming out and I love it! Can't wait for more news on release dates for all of them.

Its as if all the triple A companies cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced by Indie Developers.

Question 1: Do you anticipate porting it to Mac and Linux after launch?

Question 2: Will you be able to play Secrets of Grindea with a usb controller?

Question 3: When you made it to the final boss in The Secret of Mana I wonder what your thoughts were about the fight and how the game wrapped up?
