The second demo for Valchion is out for Windows, Mac, and Linux!

Posted by on


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!

I tried to play it (on Linux) but it crashed instantly, and threw the following error in the terminal:

Okay, I fixed and tested it - it should run perfectly on Linux. Thanks for the report!

Awesome. It works now, but a lot of the textures are distorted, or display at a very low resolution. It might be to do with my laptop (intel hd 4000) but I can't change the graphics options to check.

Could you post a screenshot somewhere? Perhaps PasteAll.com/pic?

I think I know what the problem is related to, but if I recall, it worked fine on my Linux computer. So, I'm a bit stumped. Could you try downloading and replacing the "launcher.cfg" file in the game directory with this file?

If it doesn't work, then I'll have to assume it has something to do with your graphics card. If so, then could you try it on a more powerful / modern card, or just another computer in general?

Doesn't seem to have worked. I'll try it out on a different machine later on.

It's not really a big deal anyway, the game is still totally playable (and awesome btw).

Congratulations for keeping what originally was SoldierOf(Dec 2011) alive up to today, I don't have much time to play it due to my own project, but I'm sure the game is interesting currently because a game is like wine, it gets better with time(and Valchion has 1+ year). I also followed your twitter as you requested on your last BA PM.

Keep it going!
