High Seas Dress Policy

Another member of the elves has surfaced with this being Ava, yet this time there appears to be more of a grounding in an attire of a wider society over our previous vagabond who is still walking leftwards to this day.

Sadly neither paper nor parchment is a thing yet so you have better start warming up your muscles, those stone tablet assignments aren't going to complete themselves and Ava is going to continue to stack them regardless of progress.

Renewed Beginnings

Additional cleaning up has now been completed for the latest iteration of the Sunrider.

We've been keeping you guessing this long but we're sure there is renewed thinking that it is about time to see what the new take on the Vanguard Canon will be? Sadly what is in red is just a placeholder for proportions and the design is still being worked on. In the meantime it could still take on many forms so let your imaginations run loose.

Relentless Exploration

An initial proof of concept of what we're looking towards when it comes to the sprite style for RPG implementations. That said we do feel a bit bad setting her off with no destination in mind, hopefully we'll be able to soon give her some more friends to join her tales of questing.

Checked into Dry Dock

Unfortunately as you may have picked up slightly on the prior design, the ongoing revisions just weren't cutting it for what we were looking to do in terms of the bigger picture. A much bigger shake up has now taken place for the Sunrider! This will now be the new form we're building on top of from this point onwards.

Hoist the Sails

We feel like we've now reached the extent of this particular line of design when it comes to this Sunrider and to which we can now present it to you as a potential vessel of command. 

Maritime Framing

A fresh render with the most recent updates to the new take on the Sunrider of the seas, if only we were telling a story about leisure cruises it may have been ready but there is still more to come.

Devil of the High Seas

One of the characters that holds a large affinity to the oceans will of course Cosette who is ready to show off what she can when allowed free reign in her element. Unfortunately she'll have to find a new medium for relaying her angry drunken threats due to access to technologies which cover far distances being severely limited. We feel sorry for any messenger birds that have to pickup the task.

We'd very much appreciate if one of you could pass on the message that gunpowder is not a fo...

Love in Shipbuilding

Its proving a different type of experience using sketchup to now make boat models, but what you have here is the initial prototype form for the ship that is to be molded into the Sunrider. 

Still plenty to be done before the maiden voyage, but keep this form in mind for when the time comes for the final model.

Changes to Project 9

Greetings everyone! First an apology, you'll have noticed we've been quite quiet since the release of Sunrider 4 and its following patches. This downtime has been used with a dual purpose in that team members have been taking a break following another successful release thanks to all of your support as well as various bits of housekeeping we've been planning to do or pushing back on. That said with today's post we can now confirm we're back into full active development as well as after a long...

Deadly Transaction

April 2023: Confirmed as material that will now form part of Sunrider Legends.

Original Post Contents: We couldn't leave the fantasy genre alone and this time have come back at it from a new angle, the Icari in the role of an assassin angle.

Sadly without a ryder that means you'll be losing access to Boost and therefore the chain attacks, would anyone be able to go back after experiencing a power like that? Time to start digging around ...

Ancient Ryuvian Sniping Arts

April 2023: Confirmed as material that will now form part of Sunrider Legends.

Original Post Contents: As we start to transition back from our post release downtime lull and look towards getting the new project elements underway, we've also been reflecting on genres we'd one day like to look into or at the very least do a spin on.

One of the ideas that came up is the fantasy genre to which Sola was our go to candidate for testing out a ...
