After four years of lovingly crafting every pixel by hand, Malaysian solo developer Mas is ready to release the charming, post-apocalyptic RPG Artis Impact into the world. Launching August 7, 2025 on PC via Steam, Artis Impact is a retro-inspired, turn-based adventure that blends gorgeous hand-drawn pixel art with a surprisingly cozy take on humanity’s last chapter.
Step into the shoes of Akane, a human survivor navigating a vibrant, decaying world shared with AIs and oddball survivors. With her snarky sidekick Bot, Akane explores hand-drawn cities, battles bizarre enemies, and uncovers mysterious secrets, all with a wink, a smile, and the occasional potato croquette.

A Hand-Drawn World, One Pixel at a Time
Every map and sprite in Artis Impact is drawn from scratch by Mas using RPG Maker MV. It’s a visual love letter to classic RPGs, where every alley, ramen shop, and spa is packed with personality.
Easygoing Turn-Based Combat
Simple, fast-paced, and satisfying. Whether you’re new to RPGs or a genre veteran, Artis Impact focuses on fun, fluid fights, without the spreadsheet headaches. Upgrade your gear, level up, and take down some seriously weird bosses.
Stories That Make You Laugh, Then Cry (and Then Laugh Again)
Uncover lost histories, heartwarming side quests, and whimsical NPC dialogue. Artis Impact strikes a rare balance: funny without being fluffy, and heartfelt without taking itself too seriously.
Slice-of-Life Comfort in a Post-Apocalyptic World
It’s not all doom and gloom. Decorate your home, work part-time jobs, take a long bath, or just relax with some low-stakes cooking. This is an RPG where you can save the world and take a nap afterwards.
Artis Impact is a true labour of love from a solo developer who spent four years crafting every scene, character, and quirky moment by hand. Whether you're here for the heartfelt story, the classic turn-based battles, or just want to find refuge from the post-apocalyptic world, this is an RPG that doesn’t rush you, it welcomes you.
