Gen Con 2019 Recap

Tactical Myzzrym, 1 week ago

Well folks, Gen Con was a blast. And not a piddly 1d6 Thunderclap kind of blast, we're talking about a fully decked out Eldritch Blast! (bonus to whoever comes up with the highest damage Eldritch Blast build) You were many, many people to drop by to check on Solasta: Crown of the Magister - so many, in fact, that one of our only regrets was that we brought only two gaming laptops. Some of you...

Dev Diary #3: Let there be Light!

Tactical Zaz, 1 week ago

Hello fellow adventurers, Today I’d like to talk about how we use Light and Darkness as a gameplay pillar and fundamental concept in the world of Solasta. When you think Fantasy Tabletop RPG, chances are one of the images that comes to mind is a group of adventurers exploring a dark dungeon, torch in hand, moving cautiously to avoid traps and ready to draw their weapon the moment a monster jumps out of a dimly...

Gen Con 2019 - One week left!

Tactical Archimat, 1 month ago

Hey there, I totally agree that sound fx and music (even when playing tabletop with friends) is essential to a good game. We have a very talented composer working for us. The music from our two initial trailers were composed and producer by this composer, which gives you a hint as to where we are going. We hope you can hear the first music tracks very soon, but bear in mind these will be demos...

Gen Con 2019 - One week left!

Tactical Myzzrym, 1 week ago

Hey there folks, With only one week left before Gen Con, we've been working hard on all fronts! For the Demo, we've been adding new rooms and polishing old ones - it won't be the final experience (you will have to wait a bit more for that), but you'll be able to have a pretty good idea of what you're getting into. We've also be working on some physical goodies that we'll be giving away...

Director's Log #2 : Adapting the Ruleset

Tactical Archimat, 1 week ago

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to describe the philosophy we have in adapting the OGL/SRD5 ruleset to a video game for some time now. As I already mentioned in previous posts, I have played through all 5 different editions of D&D in the past 30 years - and thus seen the evolution of the Ruleset over the years. That doesn't mean I claim to be an absolute expert though, for there are many ways to...

Dev Diary #2: What is Verticality?

Tactical Zaz, 1 month ago

Thanks for your comments, and yes, you can destroy passage, including those with enemies on them, which makes them fall, and then you need to find another passage, but there will always be a way. Climbing is an important part of exploration at the beginning of the game, but we expect players to use magic to make that much easier as soon as they get spells like fly or spider climb, which is fair, and...

Dev Diary #2: What is Verticality?

Tactical Zaz, 1 week ago

Hello fellow adventurers, As you already know, Verticality is one of our Core Pillars. But what hides behind that word? From the very beginning, we decided that we wanted our players to be able to do things other Tactical RPGs wouldn't allow them to. Things like flying, climbing walls without being limited to ladders, pushing enemies over the ridge... and of course we wanted enemies to do the same! Flying, climbing and even burrowing to...

Dev Diary #1: Reaction System

Tactical Archimat, 1 month ago

Sure, that is a possibility. We just have to make sure it does break the game flow with a complex interface. But maybe a simple drag and drop in the initiative table could do the trick. Food for thought, thanks for the feedback!

Dev Diary #1: Reaction System

Re. characters with the same initiative, is it possible to have the game allow them to go at the same time? Well in a computer game, I think you have to decide which of the them is going to play. On tabletop and as a DM, I would let players decide who wants to play first, but that is just me.
