Panicking? 🤣 Like "Oh my god, we actually need to put effort and love into our game, oh no, what should we do??" 😂 I (Rene) am having a lot of fun with the game, and I actually feel super happy that a game which the devs clearly spent a lot of time and love on, is successful

Give them more time to make their games. They can do it, they can create the most wonderful magic, they have done it before many times. But they need the time and space to do it, like everyone else.

All our monsters now have specifically created lovely little cut-in images for each foe in the turn order UI on the right. #JRPG #IndieGameDev #RPG #uidesign

Lynne is the granddaughter of a famous inventor, and the gift runs in the family. When she's not digging up ancient artifacts (literally stuff that fell from the sky centuries ago) she uses her skills to re-activate them. Of course, she can use them in battle too. #JRPG #RPG

Raidow has many faces. The drunk, the overly friendly, the mysterious. There's... a lot he hides behind his smile. This chaos also shows in his battle skills. "Acrimony" for example hits double DMG against certain enemy types, but the type randomly changes each turn. #JRPG

Most of the bookshelves in #ValiantSouls contain a small piece of lore or some kind of useful information, but since today is apparently "National Bad Poetry Day" - here you go! #BadPoetryDay #IndieGameDev #JRPG #RPG

Congratulations on the release! Looking forward to this wonderful adventure. We’ll be next! (in a few years time 😂)

We gotta hurry up then 🤣

Breath of Fire is NOT an option on the Capcom Tokyo Game Show 2023 survey, despite being an option in previous Capcom Showcases. Please write it in & support Breath of Fire! Please repost! enqform.capcom.com/form/pub/form1… #Capcom #BreathofFire #カプコン #ブレスオブファイア #TGS #TGS2023

Market vibes 🍎🐟🌽 This town was originally called Kalay, until we realized that there is a town called Kalay in Golden Sun... 🤣 The four clones of our lovely red-haired NPC lady will of course be replaced by merchants at some point. (replaced... sounds a bit harsh 😄)

What kind of dreams do you have? Any of them involve barrels? #writing #dialogue #RaidowStyle #JRPG #RPG <posted by RENE>

To combat the summer heat, we have introduced a no-clothing policy for NPCs in the harbor city of Naporro ナポロ港のクールビズ、ちょっとやりすぎた (of course these are our placeholder NPCs...) #summer #gamedev #RPG #coolbiz

First draft of artificer Albron Krall's workshop in Selrand. Known for inventing the process of compressing soul energy into physical form to use it as an energy source (similar to a battery) he is a very famous man, and also grandpa of one of our heroes. #gamedev <by RENE>

The guy with the hammer looks angry... Except one, all of the NPCs in this image are actually residents of another town (or ... ghosts?) because our lovely harbor town doesn't have NPC sprites yet. One more thing for the to-do list. #JRPG #gamedev #WIP <post by RENE>

FINALLY! I finished writing two dialogue scenes and scripting the events going along with them, which means that after months of work, for the first time there's now a full party in Act 2 of the game. They look so great together! #gamedev #RPG #JRPG

It's kind of sad that nowadays it almost becomes necessary to clearly state an artistic project has been created without the use of AI - but that's the world we live in... So: Of course Valiant Souls does not use any AI, not for our art, pixel art, music, dialogue, anything.

It's been a while since we've posted here, but we've had a lot of progress quietly these past months. I won't share too much because we don't want to spoil anything, but here's a little sneak peak of some new monsters and a new BGM: soundcloud.com/valiantsoulsrp… #JRPG #indiegame

After a 10 hour dev session, our capital city Althea now has 26 NPCs the player can talk to. About 30 more will follow, and every NPC has two sets of dialogue, usually with 2 or more text boxes each. No need to talk to any or all of them, but we promise it'll be fun to do so!
