ValTale

What is ValTale?

ValTale is a game I’ve actually been working on since mid 2024, so quite some time has passed.

The project was originally created to provide what I felt was missing from the games of my childhood, while also expanding upon the very ideas behind them. It’s hard to say yet whether I’ve succeeded.

Lore

As for the game's story, I know what I want to tell, but the challenge lies in how I want to present it.

I have plenty of ideas, though I haven't committed to a specific direction yet. Once I’m more certain about things, I’ll definitely create a devlog about it.

Gameplay

The game draws heavy inspiration from Final Fantasy Tactics and NosTale, so you can expect to see many ideas influenced by both games.

ValTale is a tactical RPG (TRPG) set on the continent of Valtheria and its surrounding islands.

The map and the development of this aspect are currently in the very early stages, however.

Current Build

There is no story or anything particularly exciting involved at this stage. For now, I simply wanted to get something started — something developed enough to be worth showing.

Development Plans

For now, I want to:

• expand the combat system,
• introduce a set of items and mission rewards,
• continue pushing forward with what I currently have,
• and slowly start fleshing out the world's lore.

The last part is something I’m finding incredibly difficult to get off the ground.
