Hey Everybody! Ramon here, Director of the Crimson Forge! I'm in charge of keepingeverything running smoothly for the game, I plan everything out and do the writing forthe game. I also have to answer a lot of emails and skype calls as all of my teammembers are out of state! But I love every second of it and I love that the CFG team and I are working tirelessly to get this game out to you guys!

What is the End of the fallacy about?
End of the Fallacy is an RPG about a boy named Allister who gets transported into a familiar video game with his friends and try to solve the mystery as to why a game that Allister has played before is a little different than he remembers.

What inspired you to make the game?
That's an interesting question. If we are talking what game's inpried me to make thisgame, then I can say Chrono Trigger, Tales of Graces, Kingdom Hearts, and a fewothers. But if you want to know the reason I started this project, then that's a differentstory entirely. I started this project because I was trying to find myself and figure outwhat I wanted to do with my life, and I had made crappy games in the past, andwanted to do something bigger. I was also tired of seeing Square­Enix, My favoritegame dev at the time, fail time and time again trying to make new games thatcaptured the essence of the JRPG. So I thought RPG Maker ws a great way to makea game that captured the feeling of playing a game from the Golden age of RPG's, theSuper Nintendo! And thus I started building a team and The two twins were born intothis world! End of the Fallacy and the Crimson Forge!

What does End of the fallacy mean?
End of the Fallacy literally means No more Lies! I decided on this title to take a pokeat Square and the games that they were coming out with that just didn't have the FFfeel to them. So this name was born to be a spoof on Final Fantasy!

How long has the game been in production?
This game has just reached it's one year anniversary this month! (January) And it'sgone through a lot in those 12 months, changes to the Battle system, music, art,character designs, and the like. And probably many more before it is released!

What is Crimson Forge Games?
Crimson Forge Games is the name of our Dev team. It's a team of talented and drivenpeople that want nothing more than to see the game succeed. I have scouted out thebest of the best for the Crimson Forge, and it continues to grow as the months go by!We will continue to pound out the steel to bring you a game of incredible craftsmanship and utmost quality!

How many people are working on the game with you?
Wow, that's actually a tough question to answer, let me think for a second.1...2...3...4... 5... Ok, so not including me, there are 24 people working on this game,that includes voice actors. So there are quite a number of people working on theproject, and if you can't tell already, this is no small project. To those of you thatplayed the demo! That is but a small snippet of the game you will get in the final release!

What would you say is most important when developing a game like this?
The most important thing for developing a game? I'd say planning, especially if youare working with a team. You have to constantly think of new things to plan out andput in motion. You have to make sure everyone is busy, which is impossible to behonest (Sorry VA's). But all I can say to anyone interested in starting a project, don'tdo it alone! Trying to do a solo project is so difficult, I think the game will be better ifyou have a dedicated team backing you! I know I'm thankful to everyone in the CFG!

Do you ever feel limited by using RPG maker ?
To be honest, I hardly ever feel limited using RPG Maker. This is mainly because I'veused a lot of RM Programs before and I fully understand their limits. So, do I feellimited or constricted? No. Quite the contrary, with the brilliant scripters like VictorSant, Fomar, and Yanfly, I am constantly feeling surprised at what RPG Maker is capable of!

Why did you decide to use voice actors for this project?
I felt that Voice Actor were necessary for this project for one reason. To make this game stand out. I do like the old Snes RPG's but If I was gonna make oneimprovement on the formula of the Snes RPG, I would add in voice acting. I feel like good voice actors breathe life into the game and do wonders to immerse you in the world of the game.
