Christmas Crazies

I know all has been quiet on the Solaris Studios front, but there is definitely something sweet in development!

The bad news: Soul Balance has been put on the backburner.

The good news: A new project is in production (which is under wraps until it is officially announced next year); one that aims to completely raise the bar on what is expected of Solaris Studios.

So, what's new, in the past months Solaris has been dark?

A new logo! This is Solaris Studio's official new logo. All spacey-like.






And, here's a sneak-peek at the main character of the game, minus hair: (still subject to intense revisions)

Capstone Final Milestone

So, today marked the Capstone Final milestone! The next milestone to reach is the Demo release on April 28th.

Due to personal matters, this release date could change, but things look to still be on track, for the moment.

In the mean time, check out this gameplay video of the alpha!

Just a small update today.

The GUI was completely redone, and is now a cool blue color with gold trim!

Status Update

Sorry for the long lack of updates! I've been working hard to push the game to where it needs to be!

As it stands now, the Capstone release of the game (a demo, for all intents and purposes), is feature complete! I'm currently halfway through the Audio phase, after which only the Polish and Bugfix phase remains!

I've expanded on the dialogue, too, for a proper story introduction.

Here's a bunch of screenies; a video playthrough of the demo level coming soon!

Status Update

Lots to report today, although nothing in the way of imagery unfortunately.

The combat engine framework is now completely operational! From here, it's just a matter of adding on the bits and pieces.

I can fight enemies, destroy them, and return to the overworld to hunt for some more. I even managed to code in the experience from defeating enemies!
