Hey y'all! it's been a long time since I've been on social media so for those who don't know me allow me to do a quick recap of my story.
Who is Tomeetsj and what was Project V?
About three and a half years ago I started a videogame about victubia called Project V, it was supposed to be an action Rpg inspired by games like tales of amalur and others. For two years I've worked on the project and it became more and more clear that I bit off more than I could chew. I've had a wonderful team working together with me to make this videogame but in the end it turns out a self-taught highschool kid with no budget and who has never been on a programming team or finished a project on his own can't make a triple A game. Shocking, I know. A lot of people put a lot of faith in my programming skills and I couldn't live up to the expectation. Then, one year ago I went to university, I realised that I wasn't gonna finish the game and I put the project into the hands of Djinnet (another programmer) and I was too busy with university that I havent been able to talk to the victubia community a lot.

So what have I been up to?
After passing all my courses a few weeks ago I decided to go and make a victubia videogame but learn from my mistakes in Project V. This became "Victubia Magi Academy: Dueling Competition". I made this game in about a week and it is almost finished (I'll get to that in a bit). I didn't tell anyone I was making it so that I wouldn't get everyone too hyped up and made them feel cheated if it wasnt really good. Its a 2D game and I only used Gabbi's art, everyone who has tried it themselves knows that getting 3D art from the internet is a pain in the ass and I'm no 3D artist. Lastly, it's not too ambitious so I knew I would be able to finish it, so far I've started dozens of projects and never finished one, I made sure the systems in the game wouldn't be too dificult so I could actually finish this game. This game is also an apology and a farewell gift in a way.
Screenshot from the title screen.
How does it work?
First, you select a character that you've already made or unlocked, or make a new character.
You can select your character's elemental magic and put distribute 50 points into the different spirit magics with 5 being the minimal amount. After you've selected your character you can build their deck, each card is like a move in pokémon so be sure to select the strongest and build your strategy. Each character can use normal (white) cards, spirit magic cards and the cards that are for their element, they cannot use elemental cards that aren't their elemental magic.
After you've selected your chards it's time to choose an opponent and battle them, you can battle normal VMA students or special unlockable characters. These characters have a ")" in front of their name and join your character select screen after you've defeated them.
The battle system is quite simple, both characters get 100 HP, 100 offensive points and 100 defensive points. You draw a handful of cards and select the one you wish to play. A card can have one or more effects, the six effect types are: ⦁ Heal: raises the player's HP. ⦁ Attack: lowers the opponents HP. ⦁ Raise Offense / Defense: raises the players offense- or defense rating. ⦁ Lower Offense / Defense: lowers the opponents offense- or defense rating. The amount of damage done is calculated by the ammount of attack effect on the played card, the user's offense rating and the targets defense rating and the user's spirit magic level (you heal more if you play a healing green spirit magic card and your green level is high).
Once your opponent's health reaches zero, you win the game and gain a card pack, there are common cards, rare cards and legendary cards, rare cards are of course less common in card packs than common cards.
What's also fun is that you can play with- or battle your friends characters! Just copy their .char files from their /Saves/MyCharacters/ folder to your Saves/Opponents/ folder.
ALL OF THE PICTURES ABOVE ARE ALPHA FOOTAGE AND ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE FINAL GAME.
Also, most of the artwork you see in the pictures above are made by Gabbi and ripped straight from the victubia tumblr archive.
So when do we get to play this?
Like I said, it's not yet completely finished, I need to make up a lot of cards and characters to battle. Or rather, you need to. I'm gonna do a stream in the near future where you guys can join me and come up with cards and characters to battle which I will then put into the game. Take your chance to be a game developer and join me in that stream. I will put the time and date in another post once I've figured out when I have time ;P.
Love, Tomeetsj.
for those who missed it
this blog is no longer the blog for the Project V game, that’s moved to @projectvgame
here’s the reason why.
go follow the new blog <3
Important! New Leader & New Blog
Hey everybody!
So I'm studying at a university now and my schedule is really bad, I basically have to get up at 6:00 and I am at home at at least 19:00 if I'm not hanging out with the student association. I don't have a lot of free time left to work on the project.
I havent worked on the game for weeks and I havent updated the blog in months and I feel like I have been holding the project back. That's why I've decided to make @danishdjinn the project leader, he is a more professional programmer than I am, he is more enthusiastic about Project V and he is a lot more caught up on victubia than I am. I will still be working on the project if I feel like doing some programming though.
We are also moving the Project V blog, since I won’t be in charge of it anymore. the new blog will be http://projectvgame.tumblr.com/ so go follow it right now! This is a secondary blog owned by Dj but me and the other developers can post on it as well. There will be a lot more project V posts on there so you guys will stay updated.
I hope you guys will see that this is not sad news but actually good news because there will be a lot more work done on the game and the new blog can be updated a lot more now!
Thanks for being awesome to our team from day one and I wish Dj the best of luck as the head of our project!
<3, Tom
This is what the battlesystem looks like so far, I hope you guys like it! (sorry, I uploaded this to twitter but forgot to put it on tumblr, my bad)
the background is just something I got off google images, plz don’t sue me.
Long overdue update
Quick apology (you’ve heard it all before)
I’ve been pretty much stressed out since christmas and my exams are in 4 weeks. I have been working on the game quite a bit though, don’t worry. I’m just not really good at the PR part of being a game developer. I don’t spend a lot of time on tumblr a lot but that’s no excuse. I’ll try to keep you guys more updated once my exams are done.
So what has been going on?
So the last posts I made were showing off graphics and such. I realised that the thing was gorgeous... but the thing was not a game yet, most of the major systems weren’t made yet. So I decided to make a new project file (don’t worry the other one is still going to be used) and make the important systems. And we’ve come a long way! below the ‘read more’ you can see some pictures of the systems that already work. The world isn’t pretty yet but these screenshots have been made in a test area.
God rays for those with good computers.
The first heightmap for my Syd city level design.
I'd love to help you with the project but I can't code,is there anything else I could do?
It’s kinda hard for me to come up with anything if I don’t know who you are or what skills you have. Send me a not-anonymous message with the things you cán do and I’ll get back to you. Thanks for your enthusiasm though!

*Screams!*
this sound so cool! please give the TASO some love, the Project V soundtrack is gonna be so awesome
‘I love the sunset’
I wanted a new banner so I made a walpaper-ish thing. it’s an in-engine screenshot so it’s not perfect but enjoy...
Experimenting with Microphone positions, including back of hall for echo recording and sound isolation. interesting song. the-taso
Varied strings, no horns, reeds, percussion, or keys of any kind involved.
I can’t stop smiling! this is so awesome!
quick lil’ update:
My summer holiday is over and I have to go back to school, I’ll have a bit less time to work on the game. It’s also my exam year so yeah...
You may have noticed that I didn’t upload that overview video and I didn’t stream during the holiday. That’s entirely my fault and I have no good excuse. I’ll try to find the time to do those things.
I did work a lot on the game though, there are some pretty awesome new features so don’t worry.
one of my friends from the-taso came over with two harps and gave me a quick lesson on how to play, over the next few hours we composed 2 pieces, this is the first….i might do something with it later depending on the reception.
Let the sounds of the-taso please your earballs. (I found this post way too late D:)
the-taso is the orchestra making the soundtrack for Project V. Why aren’t you following their blog yet?
Alit, the new concept artist!
Hey everyone! we have a new concept artist :D, well he’s actually been working with us for a few months and he’s done some amazing work already. Up here you can see some of his work and examples of what they look like in 3d. Check out his deviantart page! http://rexcommando656.deviantart.com/
