Thank you for joining us on this journey. We can't wait to see how you shape the future of Iria!

Greetings, Voyagers!

Today, we’re excited to delve into the intricacies of the stage and gameplay design of Sword of Convallaria. Our game is rooted in the rich history of TRPGs, drawing inspiration from beloved classics while introducing modern twists. Here’s a closer look at what our devs think about creating a unique TRPG gameplay experience.

[h3]A Tribute to Classic TRPGs[/h3]
The TRPG genre boasts a legacy of enduring series like Fire Emblem, Super Robot Wars, and Ogre Battle. Despite the rapid evolution of gaming technology and shifting genre trends, TRPGs maintain a dedicated fanbase that cherishes the genre's timeless appeal. This support not only keeps the classics alive but also paves the way for new generations of TRPGs to shine.


[h3]Innovations and Gameplay[/h3]
While the TRPG genre has seen some stagnation, we believe there’s ample room for innovation:

3D Terrain and Environmental Interaction: We've incorporated elements like knockback and height differences throughout the game. Intuitive tactical feedback means you can see the direct impact of your actions, such as pushing an enemy off a cliff.

Interactive Objects: From explosive barrels to banners and dust bags, our interactive objects add new strategic layers. These objects can influence the battlefield in various ways, providing dynamic and engaging gameplay.


[h3]Simplified Yet Deep Mechanics[/h3]
To make "Sword of Convallaria" accessible to new players, we simplified the traditional ATB system. Speed now determines action order, and each character can act once per turn by default. This structure allows for clearer strategic planning and easier predictions, making the game more approachable without sacrificing depth.


For All Players
Our goal is to create a high-level strategic experience that appeals to both dedicated TRPG veterans and newcomers. With a mix of story, puzzle stages, daily events, and challenge stages, there's always something new to explore.

Greetings, Adventurers!

We're excited to share a glimpse into the unique visual style of Sword of Convallaria, a new classic SRPG that merges the charm of retro pixel art with modern advancements.

[h3]Embracing the Past, Innovating for the Future[/h3]

Pixel art, a beloved hallmark of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, holds a special place in our hearts. Inspired by games like Octopath Traveler, our developers have crafted a visual style that blends nostalgic pixel art with dynamic 3D rendering, creating a unique enhanced pixel art style.

[h3]Introducing Next-Gen Pixel Art[/h3]
Our team, with experience from titles like Super Robot Wars and Arc the Lad, is passionate about pixel art. They've created a visual style that honors the golden age of pixel art while pushing its boundaries with modern technology. In Sword of Convallaria, every character is meticulously hand-drawn to ensure perfect pixel alignment and expressive animations. This enhanced pixel art combines traditional pixel art with 3D enhancements, allowing for greater artistic freedom and dynamic visuals.

[h3]Crafting a World of Perfect Pixels[/h3]
Characters in Sword of Convallaria are categorized into different factions with unique visual elements. Our process involves creating units in a normal style, transforming them into chibi versions, and then meticulously recreating them in pixel art. Idle animations and action sketches are crafted with precision to ensure proportions, movements, and rhythm are spot on before final refinement.


Each pixel in Sword of Convallaria is a labor of love, aiming for perfection in every frame. This dedication ensures characters are vibrant, dynamic, and true to the essence of classic pixel art, enhanced by modern technology.
