Rockshore Cliff

A quiet, small town in the southern regions of Rockstar Island. Where the air is freshest and the tides are mostly calm, this little town finds itself as the heart of archaeological finds, and the most desired place for University students to travel to in order to study for their dream professions. When you kick back and relax after a long day of studying or exploration, the air hits you with a nostalgic feeling and it makes you never want to leave. Many students who study here often end up staying if their professions are available.

Points of Interest

It is run by a diverse range of professional and experienced teachers, one of which is Dr. Kyorito. For more information, see: Vanilla Dome University.

Trivia

 * Although now lost, the earliest design for Rockshore Cliff dates back to 2015. Its concept of being a town near the shoreline was established, but the plot surrounding the town is unknown.
 * In a 2017 draft drawing for all the bosses, it is shown that the Boss for Chapter 1 appears to be a three headed Chomp-Cerberus creature. If my memory serves me correct, the Chapter involved having to investigate strange noises coming from beyond the mountain range.
 * The houses for Rockshore Cliff were originally based off of coastal Sydney houses before transitioning to a more sleep and Modern style.
 * My idealised music that accompanies this city goes along the lines of Jean Jacques Perrey's "Sentimental Trip": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWbD97x5xI
