Hello everyone!

Here is an update (Build 279) about my dark fantasy VR ARPG, Vaelorys. And, as promised, I have finally said goodbye to the generic VR controllers!

This means that from now on you have special leather gloves in game which will make punching spellcasting more immersive! 🥊

Another feature which I implemented is a whole new approach to the tutorial system.

I added "Shadow Gloves" which will give visual hints to your punches, as well as clean instructions on equipping armor and using portals. Also, now there are stat improvements when you hover on the level-ups of spells!

🔥BIG NEWS: Next Friday we are going to launch OPEN EARLY ALPHA! Everyone can join and start playing right away🔥

In case you want to get ready in advance and test the game, the playtest is currently available for free in our Discord for those willing to provide some feedback as playtesters!

But your feedback in any shape would be much appreciated! :)

Links will be in the comment section below!

Sharing the latest Build 273 for Vaelorys, my VR ARPG inspired by Diablo II! ⚔️

This update brings massive performance optimizations to cut down CPU/GPU spikes, along with some major new features. 🛠️

We just added Monster Shrines that trigger horde challenges, summoning 1 Elite and 9 Normal monsters. There is also a clean, integrated HUD where health is visualized as a red screen shade and mana as a blue controller glow.

Plus, you can now open your inventory anywhere with the B button.

For our next steps, we are finally replacing the default controllers with custom VR Gloves and completely overhauling the tutorials to make spellcasting much clearer. 🔮

Looking for playtesters to break things and share thoughts on the combat feel! 🎮

Hey RPG enjoyers!

It’s always incredibly tough to build your dream game, but definitely not impossible. As a massive Diablo II fan, I wanted to create something that captured that exact dark, gritty atmosphere but with a fresh approach for VR.

The core pillar of the game is physical spellcasting. Instead of just pushing buttons on a controller, you actually have to move. You punch forward to hurl fireballs, lift your arms straight up to summon a shield, and do elbow-flex movements (basically bicep curls) to cast more spells!

The goal is to get you fully immersed and moving while you dive into a dark fantasy world.

I just pushed Build 264, which includes a ton of balancing, minor fixes, and a brand-new spell system to make the combat feel way more dynamic!

The game is currently in open playtest and completely FREE right now. I’m actively looking for honest feedback and replying to any that you share on our Discord, so please join us!

Thanks for reading, and see you in Calindreth!

Hey y'all!

I'm working on a big new update for my VR ARPG, Vaelorys, and wanted to show off our new spells!

Forget pulling triggers. Now, if you want to unleash massive elemental magic, you physically punch the ground or raise your hands palms-up! Easy to learn, but feels awesome when you're surrounded by enemies, just like a mage. 🧙‍♂️

Vaelorys playtest is FREE and live right now in our Discord!

I'm always looking for honest feedback on the game and how the combat system feels, so if you have some spare time this weekend, join us at the link below!

Thank you very much! :D
