Soldier Of Demo #1 - 5-5-12

Valchion is a action RPG with retro graphics and simple mechanics. It features bright, GameBoy Color-styled visuals, and a (hopefully) memorable soundtrack. It should be released for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It's also being made with the Blender Game Engine, which features fast game creation and no time spent exporting to an external engine.

Hello! It's been quite awhile, but the latest demo for Valchion has been released! It has much improved graphics, gameplay (hopefully), music, and so on. It's also the first time that a demo of Valchion (or Soldier Of, originally) has been released across platforms. I don't have direct access to a Mac or Linux easily, so if things don't work, I'll try to fix it as I go along. You can download all three from my home page here!

Also, I've got "YES, NO" question prompts working. I think I wanna polish them a bit, but I hope to have more dialog. #gamedev #indiedev

Seems like @GameJolt's website was improved a ton. Reminds me of GameHippo. Anybody remember that? #games #indie

Guessing people will be getting a #WiiU and a #PS4 for their main consoles. Pretty wide spread of games and genres. #nintendo #sony

@zacgormania They did, more or less, but that's tons better than Microsoft, apparently. Seems like they got lost on their delivery route.

I love the Villager's face. He'll take a DK punch to the gut and be like, "Yo, it didn't even really hurt tho." #ssb #smashbros #lol #direct

Hey, Solar, this plays like the old squaresoft games, in other words my childhood :D
I <3 this game
Hey SolarLune. After tons of procrastinating, I'm going to learn programming, and a dev for a game called Firefall told me to start with Python. In your opinion, how easy is it to learn, and how well does it, heh, blend with blender game engine?
Sorry that I completely missed these.
I'm surprised that a developer for FireFall answered your question - seems like they'd be super busy!
Anyway, Python's very easy to learn, and works pretty well with the BGE. The Python version included with the BGE is a pretty much complete distribution of Python, so as far as I know, whatever you would want to do with "vanilla" Python can be done with the BGE's Python.
Whoa! 8-bit graphics w 3D lighting. Nice!
DAMN i want...play this... NOW!!!
great work with the tracker i LOVE chiptune sounds :D
shut up and take my money! whens the beta released? the visual style is epic. I don't think I have seen a 8bit game use blender :) best of luck getting done so we can buy (or beta test ;) btw like the main character :)
Thanks a lot. I'll be resuming development on this in a week or so. I should be able to come out with another demo soon, as well.
The game seems so awesome and retro. The OST is quite awesome!
Hah, wow, thanks! I appreciate that!
I mean, I might be biased 'cause I just love retro games. But anyway, it's just awesome! Keep it up!
