"Decayed by the scars of sin, war was imminent for our world. On Ethiryon; creatures from the depths of the spirit realm and the many things right outside of our reach stepped into the light leaving rifts in the fabric of the universe. A gift and curse un-mended." - The many races of Ethiryon focused on the blessings. Beginning their race for enlightenment and mastery of the Aether to thwart off the threat on the living. Universities of magic were erected, scholars rose, and great men, Magus’s, led civilization into a new realm of science."

Warning: Fantasy Violence and Language

 

[bhindi1224]

I died three times and quit. The numbers corresponding to the abilities on the intro do nothing. I had to click them manually. Sometimes it didn't seem like they registered at all. Although it didn't bother me personally, having the game using curse words in that opening area might need a warning as well.

Edit: I tried once more and got through the opening part, I'll have to resume it later.

 

[Rehmlok]

Lol, that scene and a lot of other features still need a lot of work. The opening scene is supposed to be challenging but is also designed to be more responsive and fair with health globes in the final release. You do have to click manually, I didn't attribute shortcuts to them, I will in the next release. The numbers is the level (you can upgrade them to propel you further later on).

The trick is to time left and right a few tiles properly and only use your abilities when the projectiles are nearby to get advantage from the 1 second immunity. I'll keep in mind to give out these hints in the game tutorial! I added the warning for the language, the dialogues are nearly all placeholders and just follow the story as I develop.

Thank you, I hope you keep playing and enjoy it.

EDIT: I updated the demo and links above! I've added more health, shortened the fall and gave players more room to breathe until that scene is properly balanced and fully realized later.

 

[bhindi1224]

That's how I got through it, I noticed the immunity. Still haven't had a chance to play again past the first area when you wake up back in the school.

 

[Rehmlok]

Here I thought I was going insane hearing whispers and distant tormented screams outside, it also doesn't help I nearly forgot it's Halloween night. Now I'm all for costumes and certain parties but this year I had other priorities as you can see, let's get on with it!

Many of you noticed that the Nymph's halberd is hitting players for over 50 damage, that was a slip-up on my end when I revisited the balance of the game. I updated the enemy's attack value as intended, as well as other fixes:

• Added keyboard configuration including WASD preset, access it in options.
• Fixed the halberd's attack value, no more massacre.
• Fixed death respawn after the battle with the Nymph.
• Fixed performance issues.
• Improved features upon amazing feedback from you!

Happy gaming, with 2 days left we will do our best to push this further and at the least cover the costs of some of the arts! Thank you so much for backing us and sticking around, I will keep you updated with all major progress.

We're also looking into an early way of having only one game and being able to simply update it from the game, rather than download the entire file every time. I don't know the time of release for this feature but it's planned!

Thanks all and happy Halloween!

Looks pretty unique. But that blocky areas are also normal outside level? I thought they were just world maps.

Looks pretty unique. But that blocky areas are also normal outside level? I thought they were just world maps.

All levels are designed as floating blocks, it's the concept of the game and a representation of a shattered world. It also gives me the opportunity to give the world the large scope I want it to have without getting overwhelmed by an excessive amount of detailed maps, rather focus on all the mechanics and goodness going on in Ethiryon! You won't run out short on exploration either, I'm carefully crafting every map to give a sense of adventure. Really nice art gallery too, I love it!

Since the campaign here's what I've been up to and I recommend everyone who sees this post to wait for the next demo and big move! Make sure to follow us and join our new discord channel at: https://discord.gg/RdDQ6bT

I'll be seeing you again soon!

Really nice art gallery too, I love it!

You did visit my gallery? Thank you, lol.
You know, that blocky tileset designs remind me of FF Tactics series though, therefore they look pretty interesting to me. And seems like you've had a solid concept already. Keep up your good work, buddy.

 

[Rehmlok]

Of course I did and thank you!

A new demo will be out in December with a lot more content and the level of polish you would expect in future releases.

Wow the music is very nice, especially the first and last song, I love them already. Though if I ever have enough to afford a composer I will definitely hire these guys, lol.

The final dialogues design after many iterations and revisions. Look out for January - Skyward Fantasy's alpha will launch!
