Tales of Illyria Series for Android

[kaizoku]

Wrong video to use in OP.

Your KS should be the one to post since it best describes the gameplay.
I got convinced by it.

20+ hours of gameplay
1.5GB of art at full 1080P
75 original music compositions
700 unique encounters
6 unique kingdoms with 42 villages, castles and cities to visit
6 geographic environments
Tons of monsters, shops, equipment, spells and melee fighting styles
Equipment changes appearance of sprites and portraits
Different story outcomes based on your decisions and karma
275K words - that's four novels' worth

The AI was first developed for the enemies. Technically it would be easy to program the AI to pick a single target, attack till dead and rinse and repeat. It just doesnt make for very intersting combat even though many players will play this way myself included.

I could develop an AI for your party that works more like a human player, concentrating on a single target, starting at lowest HP. If I get a lot of requests for this I could add it as an AI option.

Thanks,
Chad

How about an easy and normal mode? In normal mode enemies do go out and focus on your vital pieces like spellcasters or focus on a single target?

Yes! As its written in Java porting to the PC will be one of the easiet ports to make.

We have our writers working on the sequel which should be out in 6 months
In the mean time I'll be working on the ports, I expect it to take 1 to 3 moths. I'm going to use Libgdx which is a cross platform Java game engine. I'll be sure to let you know when a PC port is available.

Just wondering if this is possible...
Could I buy the game on the Play store and get a S/N that would also allow me to play the game on the PC when it comes out?
It always baffled me why so few companies (namely on KS) do this.




BTW, there are 4 races in the game. How many classes and/or skills?

Hi Kaizoku,

We have a Veteran mode where you can only save in cities and the enemies have more hitpoints, we could definilty add a tougher enemy AI to the mix. Absolutely if you buy the game on any version I'll let you have it for all.

The main races are currently Humans and Elves but the Humans have almost killed off all of the Elves and other Feys for that matter. The Feys have been pushed to the free Kingdom of Kourmar.

Humans - all over Illyria, culturally similar except in Vasena where they are more of a desert nomad sort.
Elves - almost genocided, currently found only in Kourmar
Goblins - can be found all over but integrated some what into the society of Kourmar
Lizardmen - men with scales only found in Kourmar
Ocean Dwellers - found on the coasts of Illria
Trolls - mostly dumb brutes but occasionally smart enough to be employed as a shock troop of Kourmar

There are no classes and there are about 26 skills. You get 1 skillpoint per level and a bonus skill point if you raise your Intellect. Skills can be raised to level 5

Download the Codex are read for yourself.

Thanks,
Chad

Gotta admire the upbeat attitude.

 

[Little Killerz]

Thanks Villain!

Finished the game and overall it's solid. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a competent party-based RPG (with some C&C and survival mechanics) on the Android.

I noticed this is referred to as 'Episode 1'. What's the plan for future games?

 

[Little Killerz]

Hi Oscar,

Thanks for playing the game! Episode 2 is already in the works. Its going to revolve around the kingdom of Vasena. Vasena is the desert Kingdom to the north west currently behind the Iron Wall. Vasena is culturally different then the other Kingdoms due to its isolation and has more of an Egyptian/Persian vibe. It's flag is the Jackal.

The writers and artist will be working on the sequel while I'll be concentrating on porting the game to the desktop and iOS. I'll post some concept art below.

Thanks,
Chad

 

[Little Killerz]

Concept art alert!

Spoiler

 

[Crooked Bee]

I've put your insane amount of concept art under the spoiler tags. Because seriously.

 

[Excidium]

I was scrolling fast through it and thought the guy had grown a pair of tits for a moment.

 

[Little Killerz]

Oh thanks Crooked I wasn't aware of that option! Also we will soon be releasing a proper press release announcing the sequel.

 

[Little Killerz]

Excidium LOL!

 

[Jarpie]

Gotta raise my fedora at Little Killerz for sticking to their guns and taking the feedback well, he has passed the Codex Developer Test (TM).

Will give the game a try when it'll get the PC-conversion.

 

[Little Killerz]

Thanks Jarpie!!! That really means a lot to us! We won't disappoint. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress of the PC port.

Oscar,

You should play through again. You can take a different invasion route and play good or evil. There are many events that change based on karma. There is also a handfull of events that fire only if you are good or evil. Also there are so many events in the game its very unlikely you saw them all.

Thanks,
Chad

 

[Little Killerz]

Oh also you can try out different skill and equipment strategies.

 

[Little Killerz]

Hot off the presses Djinn. Question how do I put this in spoiler?

Fire

Ice

Magma

Sand

Smole

Wind

 

[kaizoku]

Little Killerz

with the "spoiler" keyword: <spoiler>stuff hidden</spoiler> (replace <> with [])


I'm curious, how do the djinns attacks and abilities differ?

 

[Little Killerz]

Kazoku,

I guess the edit feature goes away after a bit? As far as the attacks go each Djinn will have an appropriate attack based on type. Magma and fire will shoot fire. Wind will throw wind which will have a chance of stunning characters. Ice will do damage and slow the characters. Not sure about smoke yet, any ideas?

Thanks,
Chad

 

[Occasionally Fatal]

Also if you want to properly summon oscar, put an @ symbol in front of his name.

 

[Little Killerz]

Occasionally Fatal Thanks!
@oscar Hi!

 

[Little Killerz]

oscar

Hi! I guess you can only tag one person per post?

 

[oscar]

Not sure about smoke yet, any ideas?

Reduce accuracy?

 

[Little Killerz]

Yeah that sounds like a winner!

 

[Cynic]

Y no ios version!?!!!

 

[Little Killerz]

Cynic

We are working on one, I'm a Java guy so it was natural for me to start with Android. Thanks!
