Battle in Realtime! (Graphics arent fix yet)

Hi all!

We’re in a rapid development of Valthirian Arc right now. I really hope the game finish in February.

Okay; here’s it: Battles will be done realtime, RTS style. Players control one character while the others have AI takeover. Player can switch between characters everytime by pressing respective character’s number (1 2 3 4) or clicking their face at the bottom.

Stances can be switched by pressing Q-W-E key or clicking the icon in the bottom-right. There are 3-stances. with AI Assistance, without AI Assistance (that means you have to control all of the characters manually) and passive mode (AI won’t attack enemies).

That’s all for now! I’ll have a try-out exam tomorrow so i haven’t done much update. See ya!

They are your students!

Okay, i think it’s safe to release a quick peek of Valthirian Arc now :3

This is what the game will look like. Well it’s still not fully working, and it’s not the “Actual” game, but only the “Organize” screen. You will spend much time in this screen though, taking the enrolled students, giving them examination, taking care of their mood, etc.

I hope i can finish the beta by the end of the month. Because i’ll have my Decisive Final Exam in March TT_TT. I want a month of study time D:

The interface graphics are made by Azrael and Character illustrations are provided by Archeia. Kudos to her!

believe me, it's far more hectic than that

Ookay, as my promise, vel.blast() is released!

Control a gunless ship. Evade thousands of enemies’ bullets. Use Energy shield that can absorb and repel their projectiles to destroy themselves. Endure endless enemy waves and see how far can you go. Try to progress further with upgrades and achievements!

It is an enhanced version of my another game, vel.shock(a).

What’s with the weird title? Well, in the game’s mechanic, programming side, if you release your left mouse button, the game will call a function called vel.blast() which will blast your shield. So actually, the game is spamming a vel.blast() function, so i decided to make a title based of that function. Strange huh? XD

As for the visual theme, i’d like something abstract, stylish, computer simulation-esque graphics over the “realist” type. 2 colors (black and white) sprites for player’s ship and enemies, colorful bullets, and a flight in clouds and blue skies. (That was what i told to the artist azrael, and i’d say he did a good job on that).

For the sound division, i made “flying” digital bgms for this game. A calm one which played in the menu screen, and a beaty, rather cheerful one played in the game (both will be released individually later). The Voice was really made from text-to-speech program, with a little touchup to make an Artificial, robotic feel.

Well, enough for the chit-chat, play the game here!
