Rune Puzzle: Rune magic

Pictured: Rune puzzle prototype

In the world of Midorea, modern magic is ruled by two different classes: Rune magic, which uses symbols to channel elemental energy, and Curio magic, which channels the energy through devices called curios. In the Yonarys region, and much of Midorea, use of Runic magic has declined in favor of the more user friendly curios, causing knowledge of different rune alphabets and their techniques to be lost.

Runes are classified in a specific hierarchy that channels the energy in different ways.

Element: The element rune channels this element’s energy. Only the four main house elements have runes.

Deity: Each deity has a set of ‘purposes’. These relate to the deity’s perceived personality traits and what it protects/influences, but deity runes can be paired with any other element house and vice versa.

Purposes: These are typically assigned to a specific deity, but they can be combined with any of the four deity runes, but will have very different results.

Rune VFX development!

Expanded the line tracking prototype from a few weeks ago into a more complex puzzle system. To solve a glyph, you have to trace the correct rune design in the correct order - first the element, then the deity, and finally the purpose - or else you break the hierarchy and the puzzle resets. 

You solve glyphs instead of casting them.

You won’t actually be using magic in this game, but you can interact with that magic in a way that is exclusive to Yaelsun’s POV. The point is to figure out which runes comprise a glyph and disable their magic - sometimes to reveal hidden objects, or to disarm runes placed maliciously.

Midorea: The Valhyr is an upcoming adventure game that takes place in the massive fantasy world of Midorea. The story follows Yaelsun as he pieces together events surrounding the disappearance of a Naquirfan priest, Roiqer (pictured), and a rare artifact from his ship. 

The Valhyr will feature both visual novel and adventure game aspects, including casual flirting and puzzles related to the world’s magic. You’ll be able to explore the city of Geinoras, interacting with characters and objects along the way as you uncover the deeper mysteries of the city.

We’ll be releasing the demo within the next couple of weeks!
