Heroes of Drakemire follows a party of quirky adventurers through an epic fantasy quest to save the world from sinister magic.
Along the way they'll face dangers that test the bonds of family, friends, and destiny. True to the genre, the game is also packed with side-quests to keep the adventure going.
Heroes of Drakemire features classic turn-based, party-based combat inspired by old-school JRPGs. Level up to learn new skills, and upgrade old ones. Search the world for powerful equipment and secret techniques.
After three years of development, the PC game Heroes of Drakemire is now listed on Steam.
This indie RPG game is available on Windows & Linux/SteamOS (including Steam Deck).
The development for a PC game, started in 2019, was coming to an end.
While waiting for tester feedback, the 2D artist and story writer for the game participated in a side-project.
After finding talented freelance 3D modelers, a collection of 3D printable models called the Chimeric Collective was launched in late 2022.
The models were heavily influenced by Japanese anime and manga-style mechs and gunpla model kits.
Mecha are fierce fighting robots with a human pilot inside the vehicle.
The model range expanded over time to include aircraft and dioramas. Hobbyists purchase STL files and 3D print the models.
The mech models can then be custom-painted and displayed.
Marc Slabbinck, founder of Clockwatchers, started programming at a young age and dreamed of writing video games some day.
In the past, this was nearly impossible for small, independent, game developers.
Google's android environment offered a low-budget, easy, way to self-publish games.
In 2013, the company started publishing mobile games, mainly card games and puzzle games.
In April 2017, web hosting services were discontinued. The focus shifted to mobile game development.
In October 2019, Marc decided to take on a much more ambitious project: a full-featured PC JRPG-style game.
Clockwatchers Inc was founded in 1996 as a web design company.
At the time, finding web hosting for resellers wasn't obvious.
After acquiring some dedicated servers, the company started offering web hosting services for resellers. Web design services were no longer offered.
As e-commerce became increasingly popular, a shopping cart solution was created from the ground up.
Reseller and e-commerce solutions remained the primary focus for roughly two decades.
The company was founded as a one-person business. It has retained that status ever since.
