Click on the image to enter the official website.'Steel Hearts' is an SRPG (Strategy Role Playing Game) project currently in its early stages of development. Although serious in appearance, the game is satirical in nature, poking fun at the many clichés in Japanese Cartoons or 'Anime', like the stereotypical schoolgirls, giant robots, martial arts, and the like. The game will look almost as if you were actually watching an Anime show, and is divided into episodes. As a team mostly composed of graphic artists, our main tendency is to give aesthetics greater emphasis, but we are hoping we also develop solid and innovative gameplay. We don't aim to be the best, but all the same, we'd like to make something everyone will enjoy.
StoryThe story of Steel Hearts is set in Nieau City, a steampunk-ish setting that looks like a mix of London during the Victorian era and an industrial Tokyo of sorts.
The story is set in a world like the 1900's, where the world is at the mercy of a great war. With travelling and trade becoming more difficult by the day, oil and petrolium became more and more difficult to import, so the people of Nieau City turned to their abundant local supply of coal for energy. Because of this, residents have developed an extensive use of complex steam technology. Everyday things from bath heaters to cars rely on steam engines to function.
Seven years ago, strange meteorites fell from the sky into a nearby mountain pass. Shortly after, giant creatures known as 'Phantoms' began emerging around the area where the meteorites fell. At first they were relatively few, but as the years passed, their numbers grew at an alarming rate.
Recognizing the threat to public safety these creatures posed, the government commissioned a formerly retired commander to form a team known as the Aesir, that would pilot giant robots called Aegis that were made to combat the Phantoms and to protect the city from danger.
Ryan, a newly transferred Junior, finds himself caught in the middle of a fierce battle between the Aegis and Phantoms. In a desperate attempt to stay alive, he boards an unmanned Aegis which mysteriously activates on its own and defeats the Phantoms. Now, he's been recruited as captain of a team of four beautiful, demon-slaying, robot-riding, and very temperamental school girls. Lord help him.

Given the state of unrest the city was in, the government was finally forced to form Athena, an organization made to protect the city and investigate the Phantom threat. Under Athena is the Aesir Division, five gifted children with the ability to pilot giant machines known as the Aegis tasked with the job of exterminating all Phantoms that threaten to disrupt peace within the city.
Ryan© DaoAge: 17
Year: Junior
Aegis: SH-001, The Peony
Bio:
Ryan's not your ordinary RPG protagonist. He doesn't have the funky hair, dark past, and freakishly powerful final attack certain RPG characters *cough*Cloud*cough* have, and he's certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed either. He's a pushover. He comes as a bit of weakling to others at first as well. He's the new captain of the Aegis team despite all that though, much to the delight/dismay of the rest of the pilots. He may seem unreliable, but he's definitely one of those people that'll come running to help out whoever's in need.
May© YanilynAge: 17
Year: Senior
Aegis: SH-003, The Magnolia
Bio:
May comes from a family of shamans from the east who are proud of their heritage and strict with their traditions. She lives a rather sheltered life at home and is quite submissive toward her parents. It was probably only due to the urging of the Commander and her own older brother that she was allowed to join Aesir.
May's the sweet and quiet girl of the group, always ready to help anyone in need. She spends most of her time refereeing bouts between Lillia and Mariel, or dodging her army of suitors.
Lillia© kyokoAge: 17
Year: Senior
Aegis: SH-002, The Iris
Bio:
Lillia's an outspoken and a headstrong kind of person. She's a very capable leader, probably more so than Ryan, but her temper often gets the best of her. She may come off as a bit snobby to some people, but she's actually a very caring person, often thinking of the well being of others before herself
Mariel© ippusAge: 16
Year: Junior
Aegis: SH-004, The Camellia
Bio:
Orphaned at birth, Mariel spent most of her life in an orphanage, in the company of very rough children. It was only when she was six that a man took her in, giving her a new home, proper schooling, and a better life.
One day the man that took her in went missing while working near the crash site. Mariel joins Aesir in hopes of finding clues on the whereabouts of the only person she's ever called family.
Mariel is strong willed and determined, probably because of her several years of living alone. She does show a sense of humor every now and then though, but mostly at Ryan's expense.
Maria© sabaoAge: 13
Year: Freshman
Aegis: SH-005, The Sampaguita
Bio:
Maria's a child prodigy. She's a straight-A student, top actress of the drama club, and star athlete of the gymnastics team. However, what she has in talent, she lacks in maturity. Being only thirteen, she's rather naive and gullible, which often becomes her undoing. She's energetic and upbeat, very evidently shown in her reckless fighting style on her Aegis.
