Vagante is now on Kickstarter!
« on: August 29, 2014, 12:40:01 am »


Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8bamfbDHUw

Website (Free Demo Download): http://vagantegame.com/

Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nukenine/vagante

I first discovered SFML four years ago and I fell in love. I was still a student back then, but I used it in many small projects over the years.

About one year ago, I quit my software development job to make games full-time as an independent game developer. We've been working on our first title, Vagante, for over nine months now. It goes without saying that we're using SFML  :)

It's difficult to find many big games that use SFML, so I'm happy to answer any questions about our game or our use of SFML. ;D

My first question: how do you pronounce its name?  ;D
Selba Ward -SFML drawables
Cheese Map -Drawable Layered Tile Map
Kairos -Timing Library

That was my first guess. I feel special now  ;)

Just to confirm, you mean that "tey" rhymes with "day", right?

Yep!

Though to be honest, I don't think there's really a proper way to say it, as it's a real word in three different languages. So long as you don't pronounce it "Va-jant"  :P

Awesome guys! This looks really fun. I'm also hoping to see more and more titles start to get pushed out there using SFML. Best of luck on your journey!

Saw this game on http://www.indiemag.fr just a few days ago and I remember it from tigsource. :p It's cool to know that it was made with SFML, good luck! I won't "pre-order" it, but I voted Yes on greenlight.
Did you drop the FF tactics inspired character portraits?
And thanks a lot for not falsely advertising your game as a roguelike!!

The game looks awesome. I like the graphics style and the music. It seems like this will be a very solid product once it's finished, so I am definitely looking forward to the release.

I was wondering about the use of SFML. Could you disclose which specific modules are used by the game?
