Aimi
Classic RPG Maker Horror Game
Aimi is a short, atmospheric horror game initially created for the IGMC 2018 but which has since been expanded upon and improved. This game is heavily story-driven, with horror taking a backseat to a more in touch and emotional story and with gameplay being made up of puzzles in between longer cutscenes. An initial playthrough of Aimi could be completed in about 1 hour. However, there are multiple different endings that can extend gameplay.
Factsheet
Description
Toasty (or ToastyTime) is both a lauded RPG Maker game developer and YouTuber. It was created by RPG Maker obsessed youth Jonah in 2017.
History
The ToastyTime YouTube channel was created at a video game focused afterschool camp in 2017 when Jonah was 12. Initially started as RPGTime, from the beginning it has been dedicated almost solely to RPG Maker. Creating tutorials, reviews, and funny gameplay videos, ToastyTime has become both a place for authoritative RPG Maker developer advice and of comforting entertainment.
Even in 2017, Jonah had always been working on independent video game projects in the background. His first release however didn’t come until 2020, just as he graduated middle school. Aimi has since received very positive reviews from over 100 reviews for its evocative story and engaging puzzle mechanics! 5 years of focusing on the YouTube channel later and Jonah decided he missed making video games. Taking everything he learned from Aimi, along with the passion of a lifelong indie game developer, he began work on Grimdelve.
