- Here is a small video showing how combat looks in Tears of Magic. We are still working in some auxiliary systems, like tag attacks, parallel attacks, skills and items, as well as voice acting and SFX. What do you think?

Not being teleported to another realm of reality when entering a fight? I love this already.
give me breath of fire 3 vibes. Well done
That was the goal! Glad you like it.
What I thought immediately too. Nice 😁
This really takes me back, this game is like Breath of Fire IV and Crono Trigger had a child.
Really can't wait for this game.
Thank you so much!
Animations are incredible. I like that the enemies attack from their current positions and close the distance to the enemy.
If there is one thing that sticks out that I think might deserve some extra attention - the sound design sounds a bit too 'light'. Attack hits feel like they're missing the impact and weight we'd expect from these kinds of games - but I know this is an early prototype.
Just giving feedback on what I can see. I'm sure you're feeling it a bit too.
Thank you! The sounds are placeholders, and we are already looking for more stylized sounds that bring memories of BoF and other games of that era.
Something else that isn't at all in line with breath of fire is the main protagonist's arrogant / stupid faces they look like villains instead of heroes that have still a bit of innocence or naiveté in them like ryu and other protagonists of the bof series, outside of the sprites, the character's portraits are incredibly cheap / deviant art level looking and in a bad way
Oh my lord. I just heard about this game tonight. Im sad you didnt reach your kickstarter backing but super glad youre still working on it! I gave up on ever seeing breath of fire again over a decade ago, but this would be an amazingly close substitute! Youre wishlisted on steam
Please, make sure to join our Discord server so you can participate with valuable feedback and suggestions. =)
Totally gorgeous. I'm insanely excited for this work.
You and me both!
I cannot describe how happy i am, just knowing this is being made.
Thank you so much! We are glad to have you around. =)
the artstyle is on point. Can't wait for you to add atmospheric and hit effects, subbed.
Thanks! We are working on adding audio and visual effects, as well as voice over.
the cosy feeling of this is just beautiful
Thank you!
This is great! i'm so excited to see more of your game! :D
More to come!
Wow, not to joke but this make me cry, but t was a cry of joy. You took even the fact that at BOF there was some weird annoying angles (probably due hardware limitations) and made the trees transluscent. Love it so much. I wish all the best for your project.
Thank you! There is still a lot to go, but we are aiming to make a game we would love to play.
Absolutely love the look of this. The sound and music is extremely solid atm too!
Thank you so much!
Looks gorgeous! Amazing work bud!
Thank you so much!
Wow! Already looking forward to this game. Well done man. Subscribed 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Looks like a great foundation, keep building upon it and polish it up as you go, solid potential 👌
Thanks, will do!
This is looking so amazing and an update on my birthday for what will probably be one of my new favorite games made my day. Cant wait to play it myself someday the team is doing some great work.
Happy birthday!
@@GoodOldPixel thank you lol seriously can’t wait to buy ToM when it releases.
Very fluid and gorgeous work.
Thank you so much!
The pixel art is sooo beautiful
Thank you so much!
This came out of nowhere in my feed... I need a steam page now!
It has a steam page to wishlist. =)
@@GoodOldPixel Where's it?

This looks really cool! Nice job!
Thanks!
Very excited to see work on this game continuing. BoF3 is one of my all time favorite JRPGs, and I've been interested in this spiritual successor ever since I heard about it back with the Kickstarter. Love how the enemies are technically on the field before you start combat and that there is a super fluid transition into combat when you engage them. Makes me think of another of my all time favs, Chrono Trigger.
Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you so much!
You have no idea how badly I've wanted a new Breath of Fire game! If Capcom won't do it themselves, then this is the next best thing! Looks amazing, and I cannot wait to see more!!
Thank you so much! We will do our best to keep showing things you like!
Loved it soooo much! Cant wait for the release!
Can't wait!
I really like the art style, great job 😊👍👏👏👏😀 keep it up and all the best 😊👍😀👌🤩
Thank you so much!
omg this is so amazing *-* i loved
Thank you so much!
The musical transitions are commendable!
Thank you, glad you like it!
Found out about this today, super excited for it!
Welcome onboard!
Just found out about your game a few seconds ago. Already following
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Every time I see the development it gets me more excited!!!
Thank you!
The pixel art is so high level, outstainding job
Thank you so much!
Can't wait for this tbh look insane !
Thank you so much!
Nice art and gameplay! It remembers a lot of Breath of Fire 3
Thank you! It is one of our main inspirations.
This is awesome!
Thanks!
beautiful stuff!
Thank you!
Looks fun and charming. Hope to see more improvements
Thank you! We will work hard to show lots of improvements.
Looks really promising. Definitely will keep an eye on this.
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Very promising! Loved the art style, animations, sense of exploration and music. Reminds me a liitle bit of Breath of Fire and Ragnarok Online :D
Thank you! Glad you like it.
Keep up the good work folks!
Thank you!
I need this game in my life.... this is such an amazing throw back to Breath of Fire series when it was good!
Thank you! We will keep working hard to make it come to life.
The game looks nice, one thing I’ll point out at 0:50…you can see the shadow does not connect properly to the mc. Great effort on this project.
It is the expected behavior of shadows in a 2.5D world where you can control camera freely and light can come from any direction. It is why big companies either avoid to use 2D characters these days, fix the camera in place, or use fake shadows. We tried to go a step ahead with the shadows by giving this freedom of camera movement, and that dislocation is a price we must pay, unfortunately.
This looks great, and Breath of Fire 3 pixel art is some of the best of all time, so great choice with this game. Love the feel, interested to see where this project goes!
Thank you! We will do our best to keep showing good stuff.
BoF3 successor!!!!! Now all I need is a Megaman Legends successor and my nostalgia will be sufficed.
Glad to hear those kind words!
Dude....I would love a game to have the startup screen to just be where you are in game like that.
That's the plan, to autoload the last save as default "continue" screen.
Reminds me of Ragnarok Online! Great job
Thanks!
Amazing!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yes, very good, subscribed. ✨
Thank you!
looks great i would definitely buy it day 1
Thank you so much!
I can't wait to play this game. Great combination of 2d artworks with 3d exploration world style.
Thank you so much!
Looks cool
Thank you!
I have loved JRPGs my entire life and the two I hold near and dear are Golden Sun and BoF- both of which are extinct. So, this makes me sooo happy!
We feel your pain, which is why we are making this game with so much love. =)
Me parece um jogo muito interessante. Não sei nada além do que está no vídeo, mas com certeza eu experimentaria. Adorei a animação, desenho e música.
Muito obrigado!
Will there be evolving battle animations? Like in BoF3, when he first just wiggles his weapon, then a little later does a proper jab? Cause this animation looks like an inexperienced fighter, sooo... i kinda got my hopes up^^
Yes, this is just during the prologue when Kaiser is 15. After the time skip of 5 years, they will be fully trained and have new sprites.
breath of fire coming
Thanks!
i like it cant wait
Thank you!
Can't wait to play this game. I have been spending a lot of time with BOF3 while this one isn`t released hehehe
We are happy to know you like it!
I love it! I'm excited for when this comes out! Though, the animation of getting hit feels like it's lacking a bit of 'Ooomph'. Would love to see a lil bit more exaggerated hits that feels impactful. Sorry for the Backseat feedback.
Fair enough! We will still add visual effects to attacks, as well as better sound effects and voice acting.
looks good.
Thank you!
Looks fantastic! Maybe bump up those enemy damage numbers a bit. I always love when I need to pay attention rather than just go through the motions. Game looks great!
Thanks! Those are just normal attacks, but every enemy has some stronger skill to use, including some you can learn with the protagonist if you defend.
This looks really cute! I love the animations. Only thing I would say is the camera seems a little too zoomed out.
Thank you for the input! The camera has to be wide enough so you can see enemies before engaging them, since combats happen without transition in the map.
With today's graphics engines we can remake a lot of old games.
Definitely can, but lots of big companies lost the passion to make RPGs, because they are expensive and less profitable than other genres.
With today's technology we can comment on videos.
1:33 automatically facing the remaining enemies or facing the attacker I assume is planned for finishing touches, but it kinda took me out of the moment. Reminds me of breath of fire 4 aesthetic so I dig it. I like the simplistic battle menu as well.
Thanks! That is already fixed in more recent gameplay footage.
I am pretty excited to try this, but I do hope they can maybe add a vary of attack animations rather than seeing the same one a thousands times or speed it up slightly, especially for crits or abilities even spells.
Don't worry, we will add new animations and visual effects as we add skills. Also, there are ten different characters, so even basic attacks will not get so repetitive.
i hope its possible to turn off the minimap, I'd like to just explore the lands and wander about
It can be disabled in options, or using the shortcut (default is RT/R2 + Select).
Looking good!
I would like to see some innovations to the classic formula. For instance, one of the reasons I did not use magic as much as I could have in the old games, is because I would set out, fight maybe 20 battles, and after five or ten of them I would completely run out of MP and then having to rely on ethers (or their counterparts). This led me to put more faith into a physical combat party and hoard MP towards bosses, simply because it was that much easier to sustain HP than HP + MP.
So, I believe MP based magic is kind of boring, would be nice to have some sort of revamp on that. Cooldowns perhaps, or let the spellcasters play around with runes (similar to BoF3 gene system). And, of course, combo attacks with other party members. You probably thought lots of this already, just putting out some random thoughts :)
Oh, and if you can, would love to also have Earthbounds system where most weak enemies will run from you and perhaps an option to auto-win weak enemies for 1% HP damage or something? This is when you are like 20 levels above the monster or so, and you still risk poison and other stat ailments.
About MP, you heal some health and mana after each battle based on the food you have "equipped". You can also put hotkeys on your favorite spells to make it easier to cast. And there is a system of combo where if two characters attack the same target, their skills can merge into a tag attack, which is stronger than both original attacks combined, sometimes with an added effect.
nice game bro, i want to test this
Thank you!
Please, just make it happen. Its godlike
Thank you so much! We will make it happen.
Graphics and animations have improved considerably. I would recommend increasing the run speed by .5. Unless there is a sprint button that speed will turn off players. I would also recommend a different attack animation. The overhead swing just makes it look like our hero doesn't know how to fight. Unless that's intended like bof3, in which case that's freaking awesome.
The attack animation was intentionally made to look unrefined, since Kaiser has only 15 years during the prologue. It later becomes an adult and gets a better sprite, with fancier armor.
@@GoodOldPixel perfection!
This looks incredible first off. Animation is fluid, designs are awesome, music is cool, enemies look great! My question is, I know since the beginning of time, we play as some sort of iteration of a “Ryu / Nina” starting characters. Is there a selection as to who the main is, like male / female version of characters?
You can customize the protagonist, including gender, hair, and skin color.
wish it had active combat like ragnarok online
Sorry, but it is a turn based game.
Its the closest i have from ragnarok, I know its turn base combat, but it was what i felt.
Check an indie game called Memora Wanderer. That one is heavily inspired by Ragnarok.
nice
Thanks!
♥
=)
Looks great, so BoF 3esque! will there be a speed up function? thanks
Do you mean for battle movement? We are implementing stuff like parallel attacks and tag attacks (dual techs) to make combat even more fluid.
Hope there's different animations for the male version and crit hits
They have different animations as adults. About crit hits, the numbers have a different animations, and we will also add sharper sounds when they happen.
@@GoodOldPixel sweet
The kickstarter page says this wasn’t funded, but it looks like you’re still developing? I hope so cuz this looks great. After a bit more development, for a flashier trailer, you could probably run another kickstarter and get more funding.
We have a new Kickstarter page up (on pre-launch) if you want to subscribe. Just look for Tears of Magic (Relaunch).
Breath of Fire vibes anyone? :)
Thanks! It is one of our main inspirations.
@@GoodOldPixel looks awesome, keep up the good work! Waiting on the release! :)
I’m a huge fan of Breath of Fire,3 being my favorite and 5 being a disappointment. But this looks 🔥 I just hope it’s not a mobile game
Don't worry, we also don't acknowledge BoF6. =D
Dragon forms?
Sure, you are a dragon after all. But we will show them in a later moment since we are working in other mechanics first.
Looking good. In my opinion:
1- the character seems to be a bit floating off the ground, as if his axis was +2 and the ground was 0.
2 - the combat needs an automatic feature. I would prefer a full action like ragnarok online which this game reminds me of.
3 - Kaiser is funny, BOFIV was awesome game. ;)
1. Thank you for the feedback.
2. There are commands for attacking with all characters, and for repeating last action. Just need to hold context button to show (R2 or RT in the joystick). And about Ragnarok Online, our game is a turn based RPG.
3. Thank you!
This is how i pictured Ragnarok Online 2
Glad you like it! Also, check Memora Wanderer for a game that has higher inspiration on Ragnarok Online.
@@GoodOldPixel thank you! I will :) how can i support your game project btw?
I hope this will go to Steam 🥺
It is already on Steam if you want to wishlist it. =)
Was hoping to see some skills
It is coming.
the story just needs to be good too.
We are doing our best for that.
Looks great. Shouldn't the character turn in the direction of the thing that attacks it after being hit (especially when it's the last remaining enemy on screen 1:32) to give a sense that the character is actively responding to the battle situation? Slight nitpick but I think it would be an improvement. Maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks for the suggestion. We already fixed so it changes direction when a target is chosen, instead of when an action is executed. That also includes when an enemy dies and the action is retargeted.
I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HOW PERFECT the game is
i see a fighting style that i like TAKE MY MONEY
when is the early access??? anyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Game will still take at least three years of development, so early access should only happen in at least two years. But we plan to have a demo available before that, and closed beta testing with patrons and backers from kickstarter.
Es sieht einfach so toll aus 😍
Thank you so much!
Nice! I prefer combat elements for turn based fighting system similar to arc the lad
Fair enough!
woah it's Breath of Fire 3
Glad you like it!
Wow! BoF ? The battle system is clever. Why capcom leave BoF, they should give it back to SE
Glad to know you like it. =)
I'd really prefer the trees just stay opaque, not transparent
Thank you for the feedback!
That character looks like ryu bof
Thanks! It can be customized to have different hair color, skin, and hair style.
love it, is it available on steam yet?
You can wishlist there, but it will only be released in a couple of years.
Is this inspired by Breath of Fire 4 visuals? Looks pretty similar (in a good way).
It is one of our main inspirations.
Would your team be open to coming to work in Australia?
Not without a major reason.
When is the estimated release?
We expect at least three more years of development, but a demo should be available before that, as well as early access.
So nice!
Console release planned?
Yes, for Xbox, Switch, and Playstation.
BoF feelings eh
Thank you!
i can't tell, do you manually choose to Engage! or does it just happen automatically when you're close?
also, i'm sure you're locked into, like, kickstarter promises and stuff, but i can't think of anything a game like this needs less than voice acting
We already got some voice actors. About engaging, it is automatically when you get close, but the music changes to "danger" a bit before that, to warn you so you can retreat.
i want it please
Glad to know you like it!
@@GoodOldPixel ive been hoping for games like this for a long time, games like chronotriger, xenogears, etc. thanks for doing this! i wishlisted on steam!
