Hi everyone, Ud0n here!
This is my first ever Steam NEXT Fest and I'm super nervous and excited to be sharing some of "Veiled Skies" footage with you. VS is a "cloudpunk jRPG" aka its setting is entirely set in a world above the clouds (I couldn't find another term for it so I just made it up on the spot). It falls into neither steampunk, medieval/high fantasy or even sci-fi. It's "everything but the kitchen-sink" sorta game, a mish-mash of stuff I like: foxgirls, airships, wide open skies, modern-ish clothing for my characters etc.
VS has, but not limited to:
- Combine your characters abilties into Fusion Skills to keep combat fresh and exciting!
- Unleash powerful abilities known as "Soul Urges" that are tied to certain weapons!
- Customizable difficulty settings that can be changed via a simple in-game item. Gain more experience and gold at the cost of weakened characters and terrifyingly powerful foes! Or do the opposite - power them up and turn the tide in your favour in exchange for less experience and gold! Or go for a nice balance, it's all up to you!
- Fast travel via airships or warp crystals.
- Knocked-out characters gain 50% EXP and your characters fully recover their HP and MP after every level up.
- No random encounters; enemies respawn when you move one screen away.
- Around 8-10 hours of content.
I so wanted to add base-building and airship battles but I was pressed for time. Maybe in the next game!
