Howdy everyone! Hope you're all doing well as always.
The last 6 months have been some of the busiest to date, for everyone here at Titan Roc. Much like all of you, we're itching to get Vahrin's Call over the finish line and into your hands, and we've been hard at work this year, pushing towards that goal.
While we don't have a release date that we're ready to share just yet (soon, we promise!), we do want to update you all on the current state of Vahrin's Call, as well as what still lies ahead for the remainder of the game's development.
Without further ado, let's dive in!
A Story-driven RPG As I'm sure all of you know, Vahrin's Call is a story-driven, action RPG.
A big part of the game revolves around interacting with the various quirky characters you'll encounter on your journey, as you delve deeper and deeper into Vahrin's depths. With this in mind, we're putting a lot of effort into ensuring your interactions with these individuals are as meaningful and memorable as they can possibly be.
The introduction of voice acting in Vahrin's Call is one way we're looking to achieve this. Implementing fully voiced characters over the last year, has been a monumental task, to say the least. With such a tiny team, we're all wearing multiple hats to ensure the game reaches its maximum potential and delivers on the best experience possible.
That being said, we couldn't be happier with how the voice acting has come together!
Each person that you'll stumble across in the world now has their own unique voice, adding to their character and creating a greater sense of immersion as you traverse the land.
NPCs in the game have also seen additional updates and improvements since the end of 2023, that are helping to bring them to life. This includes, but is not limited to countless new animations and expressions to sell their most emotional moments.
Above all else, we want you to have fun and look forward to what compelling characters you'll meet around the next corner; whether you're braving the depths, seeking to liberate the citizens of Vahrin, or helping out the locals with their personal problems.
We can't wait for you all to discover exactly who still inhabits this largely abandoned city!
Creature Feature
While you're out exploring open fields, deep caves, abandoned city streets and more, you'll stumble across all manner of beasts and creatures, threatening to end your adventure prematurely.
They are a big part of the game, helping the world to feel alive, while also providing fresh and exciting combat and a new challenge around every corner.
AI, art, visual effects, sound effects and animations have all been updated on a variety of these enemies over the last year. As a result, they are now finally feeling like the ferocious, spine tingling, or in some cases, adorable entities that we had always envisioned them to be.
Tying into this are the world's bosses, the more challenging foes you'll typically discover at the end of a new area/story chapter.
We've been a little hesitant about showing off these enemies, as we don't want to spoil the game for you all, but we're hoping to give you more of a sneak peek soon.
We're really happy with the improvements that have been made to all of these fearsome foes so far, and they'll only continue to develop more and more over the coming months.
