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!

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.

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.

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

I love writing cryptic dialogue. Gotta work this into the plot somehow, hah. :D #gamedev #indiedev #valchion #b3d T.co

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

Jun 11 2013, 12:15pm

Yo, have you heard @Monstercat's #Awakening album? It's pretty awesome so far! T.co

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

Jun 11 2013, 10:41am

Also, Megaman. YES. #E3 #SmashBros

Like, "Are you enjoying your Wii U? We hope so, because as it turns out, the Wii U... WAS A DECOY!" #lol #games

Jun 10 2013, 11:43pm

I'm wondering now if #Nintendo will pull something ridiculous, like Chrono Trigger 2 or something for the direct. #games
