Tears of Magic - Main Theme

Thank all our patrons for supporting us, and allowing Yoshino Aoki (from Breath of Fire 3 and 4) to compose this amazing theme song for Tears of Magic! What do you think about it?

Tears of Magic - Behind the scenes

Some sprites have to be buried halfway into the ground for their shadow to work properly. It is needed for characters which are supposed to be flat in the ground, because they are actually vertical billboards. Cool, right?

And that's why most companies abandoned the 2.5D style, or use tricks like fake shadows, or fixing the camera and light source. Since we decided to have free camera movement and allow light from any direction, we have to go that extra kilometre to look tridimensional....

Tears of Magic - Environmental Effects

We have added some god rays and falling leaves to make the environment more attractive. How do you think it looks?

Tears of Magic - Sneak Peak

Just showing some features we have been working these days, like customization (hair and skin color), mouse movement, and party follow. We will also introduce hair styles and outfits later. How would you like to look?

Tears of Magic - A Walk In The Sweetwood Forest

We have added a few improvements to the Sweetwood Forest, like water plants, foliage movement for trees and bushes, and the music variant for the deep part of the forest. The video is a bit longer so you can enjoy the music created by Travis Moberg (still work in progress, but in the direction we want). We will now work to populate the forest with critters and monsters. What do you think?

Tears of Magic - A Wild Yoshino Aoki has appeared

Thanks to our patrons, we are working with Yoshino Aoki (from Breath of Fire 3 & 4) to compose the main theme of Tears of Magic! The song will be part of the public demo on Steam, which we are working to finish before the Kickstarter campaign. Thank you for supporting us!

Tears of Magic - Turn-Based Combat

The party can have up to four active characters, plus one assistant (passive). Each turn flows as follows:

1. Opponents decide their actions, and if they choose to cast a signature skill, you will see a red circle under the targets.

2. Player selects actions for active characters, in any order.

3. The team with initiative attacks first, followed by all attacks from the opponent team.

4. Assistant performs its autonomous command.

5. Repeat from step 1 until one of...

Tears of Magic - Cooking

Food in Tears of Magic controls your recovery of health and mana after battles, as well as some non-combative effects, like increased experience points or extra drop rate. Characters also gain increased affinity if they are eating their favorite food (it works like an equipment).

Each ingredient has different tiers of quality, and once you unlock an ingredient, you can use as much as you want with the highest tier available. Cooking ingredients can be purchased on stores, looted from mo...

Tears of Magic - Adjustment to Translucency

It was brought to our attention that the transition between opaque and translucency in trees was too sudden, so we softened a bit by making trees translucent in advance, and reducing the area of translucency. Does it look better?

Tears of Magic - Area Transition

When exploring new areas, several details might change, like lighting, music, sound effects, among other things. We are also thinking of popping up the sub area name, then moving it to the minimap, right below the map name. What do you think?

Tears of Magic - Water Reflection

Oops! We forgot to make the water get distorted by water waves in the last video. It is now fixed. Does it look better?

Tears of Magic - Water Reflection

We decided to add some reflection to our water, to make the forest more vibrant. It will look really cool when fishing. What do you think?

Tears of Magic - Minimap

We added a minimap so players do not get lost during exploration. There is also a bigger version of the map, stylized like a physical map. What do you think?

Tears of Magic - Missing Sibling

Is that the ribbon / bandana of our sibling? Should I be worried?

Tears of Magic - Sweetwood Forest

We are working hard on the demo. We have mapped a forest, and are currently working on original music, as well as adjusting the audio. Next we will be focusing on monsters, battle, and fishing. Would you like to take a stroll in this forest?

Tears of Magic - Be the Dragon

The dragon power have slept for too long. Are you ready to unleash it?

Tears of Magic - Update

We continue to add more props to further polish the looks of Tears of Magic. Here is a comparison of before and after of one of the inns. Would you like to stay the night?

Tears of Magic - Bomb Mice

These cute little friends live in colonies, and once they feel threatened, one of the group explodes to protect the group. You can interrupt the explosion by attacking them with water affinity magic. Would you dare to pet them?

Tears of Magic - Marina

Aunt of Eris, and sister of Dylan. After her brother's wife passed away, she acted like a mother figure to our fish girl. She is also the first officer of Dylan's crew, and the one to make sure their merchant business sails smoothly. Ahoy?
