Basicly, when the game was originally presented publicly (at Ansem Report forums, at the time under the domain of crystal-square-enix.com), it was suggested that the team should stick around after this project and make more. I agreed, but then we where left with the predicament of creating a name for the team. If we where just doing one project, then it's understandable just to present the game, give the names of those who worked on it, and leave, but when you are making multiple games, you need to have something solid to call yourselves.
This unfortunate situation was brought up once in the thread at AR, then again at our forums by a moderater named dUaL. The topic made for it can be found here. Many suggestions rolled in, but we decided on one with a meaning behind it: ReniSoft. Basicly, we are called ReniSoft because our first endeavor into the world of gaming was called Kingdom Hearts: Rebirth of the heartless. Now, Renaisance is french for "Rebirth." So, we put the first silible into the name, then shortened it from "renai" (the name of a character in the game. We couldn't have that now, could we?) to "reni" then added soft, for software. Thus we have the name "ReniSoft." Awaiting feedback, I halted a final desicion. All those who partisipated agreed, and thus the name was set at ReniSoft.
This definately means a return of the RotH team, and it definately means more projects will be dished out. Some will be long, some will be short, but we promise they will all be worth download time, and they will all have at least a few original elements. Not just the recycled stereotype indy developed rpg with turn based first person battle, the default graphics, and of corse our leading hero: Alex! We promise to crank out, as well, unsual things, that you wouldn't expect to come in game form. IZ RPG, anyone? Even though most people might not think it possible to make a fun game out of things of that nature, we'll be sure to change your mind.
Along with regular, unrelated projects, we'll also, of course, continue working on the KH fan game series, which, so far, will consist of five incredibly large games, each with something different about them.
Also, one thing you may be thinking, "no amount of customization can change the fact that it's still an rm2k game. You play one, you've played them all." Well, who said they will all be for RPG Maker? Isn't it possible we are looking to expand our horizens? Of course. In fact, we plan on, if possible, even doing at least one game in the KH series in another program. Perhaps Game Maker, or maybe Multimedia Fusion. Who knows? Only time will tell, but I promise you, even if we stick to the oh-so-basic rm2k, you won't even remember that saying "you've played one rm2k game, you've played them all."
Also, one last note worthy thing: ReniSoft is, as of yet, devoid of a logo. Why not try your hand at one? As of now, the logo contest remains open. Go here to enter.
