The Six One Indie Showcase is a bit of a new kid on the block when it comes to video game presentations, but it's certainly working hard to justify itself. Early today the latest showcase was held showing off a huge range of indies, 48 in total, some of them being brand new reveals, others smaller showcases.

Hello everyone,

I'm Mas, the solo developer behind Artis Impact. And today, I’m finally able to share some big news:
🎉 Artis Impact will officially launch on Steam on August 7, 2025! The demo is still live and free to try — feel free to check it out if you haven’t yet!

Artis Impact is a story-driven pixel RPG I’ve been developing solo since 2021 using RPG Maker MV. While the main storyline is linear, there are many fun hidden side quests and random events along the way — some only appear at certain times or in specific places.

You’ll play as Akane — a calm, mature, and playful girl, along with her sensible and logical AI partner, Bot. Together, they take on missions in a world invaded by AI and help strangers along in their little adventure!

The two bicker, bond, and even share moments of downtime eating chips on the couch. (That’s right, players can do that in-game!)



I wanted to create an RPG that fosters a relaxing and lightweight experience for the player.
Combat is light, turn-based strategy, but the real focus is the story and characters. The pacing is relaxed, though you might find yourself unexpectedly touched along the way.

All graphics and animations were hand-drawn by me, frame by frame. It’s not a huge production, but I’ve done my best to craft a small, living world that feels full of heart.




If you haven’t tried the demo yet, now’s a great time. And if you enjoy it, please consider adding it to your wishlist and sharing it with friends!

Thank you so much for all your support and patience — it means the world to me.

See you on August 7th!

— Mas

A fun turn-based RPG set in a future world of humans and AI. Play as Akane to explore vibrant locations, battle with simple yet fluid combat, and enjoy side quests full of charming surprises. With a playful, humorous style and clever details, this adventure is light, easy, and full of smiles.
