Journeys and Jazz: The Fruits of the Gods is a turn-based RPG being created in RPG Maker MZ. In this game, you will control four characters as they explore the modern-fantasy world of Ecylsia, searching for the titular Fruit of the Gods. These fruits are legendary items said to give those who consume them god-like power. Over the course of this journey you will meet a colorful cast of characters such as the eccentric merchant; Bangle, a Koi-fish Samurai, evil mushroom people and much more.

This game is a retelling of a tabletop RPG campaign of the same name and stars Seleth; the princess of Malachite, Leonard; the painfully charismatic bard, Dreck; an ogre from an unknown land, and Tezca; a mysterious shapeshifter. As a result of its origin, one of the main goals for this game is to make each of the main cast equally important. No one is an accessory to the others. As a result, dialog is dependent on which character is in the first slot of the party. There is also a journal item you can use to check up on how everyone feels about each other and their current situation.

Part 1 of Journeys and Jazz: The Fruit of the Gods is currently available for download on itch.io

Journeys and Jazz: The Fruits of the Gods will be split into 6 parts and will be available for free on itch.io.

Part 1 of this journey features the 4 main characters meeting in the Desert Continent of Ramura. Here they will learn about their quest and each other as they explore and help the locals of Almyrn.

Part 2 takes place right after and takes place on the S.S. Bennifer. Here the party can go around helping passengers and crew. However, this boat ride will not be as peaceful as they were hoping for.
