I'm surprised I haven't shared this with all of you yet. In the next couple of days, I'll be sending the final book to the printing press. It's not Neo-related but rather connected to retro gaming....
The year was 1988; my younger self had just embarked on the adventure of playing Phantasy Star for the very first time. As I fired up the game, I found myself wandering the virtual streets, soaking in the exquisite graphics of the Camineet Warehouse. Venturing out into the untamed wilds, my excitement quickly turned to dismay as a couple of Scorpions ended Alis's journey prematurely. Attempt after attempt, I succumbed to the same. I eventually threw in the towel. But then, a glimmer of hope emerged.
Game Pro unveiled a mini strategy guide, unveiling the splendor that was Phantasy Star. It was then that I fell head over heels for RPGs. The 3D dungeons of Phantasy Star had me captivated, and I reveled in carefully mapping them out on graph paper. However, a craving remained unfulfilled—a strategy guide. Nintendo had always been on the ball, providing books to aid their players, so why wasn't Sega following suit? Let's fast-forward 35 years into the future.
My dream has blossomed into reality, even if it might seem a tad belated and inconsequential... yet, it's anything but that. Within my grasp is a physical strategy guide for Phantasy Star. The concept of crafting such a guide sparked in me about two decades ago. At the time, I didn't do much with the idea, apart from a few scattered pieces of artwork. Then, the advent of COVID-19 altered the landscape, propelling me to actively pursue my long-cherished dream. And now, I'm on the cusp of completing this endeavor, with about 99% (at the time of me making the video below) of it finalized. I'm excited to share with you the culmination of my labor over the past two years.
I've made the decision to release this book for free when it's completed. You can snag a PDF copy at no expense, or if you prefer a physical copy, I'll provide a link where you can utilize a print-on-demand service to get it at cost. Monetizing this endeavor isn't my aim. I undertook this project because it was a dream close to my heart, and I yearned to share that dream with fellow enthusiasts like you.
I have included a video for your viewing pleasure:
