A new game studio called Talyon will develop a new game in the Solasta universe:
More information.
Thanks Redglyph!
More information.
Solasta - New Studio Talyon - New Game
- Thread starter HiddenX
- Start date
That was fast. I guess they're pretty confident about the success of Solasta.
They don't say much about the new title though or what type of game it's going to be.
*Edit* Ok, I misread the last paragraph the first time. It's obviously another tactical RPG. I wonder why they're not just developing it themselves.

Good for them. I guess Solasta had decent sales to fund the expansion.

More games can only be good for us. Maybe some project will tackle psionics at some point and get it done correctly.

The world isn't that generic. They built something. A history, factions, politics. There is stuff to build on and it's cool they decide to not start from scratch again and expand on what they have been working on.

Hopefully, they will keep building on Solasta engine and for the next game, concentrate on a better story, more contents and more non linear options.
It's modified D&D rules. I personally love how they put it together, especially considering the team size. The fact that people are so fixated on minor flaws just shows how spoiled we've all become. That said, why the hell can't I set a watch at my campfire!?
I think because they're too small, they already said in their "What's next" that they wouldn't be able to continue fixing bugs because they were working on the sorcerer class. They'll be busy some time with Solasta: CotM so they are hiring new devs for the other project (artist lead, … in the job offer on top of the 3 who will move there apparently)
This Solasta universe, indeed it's not a D&D setting, I suppose they invested a bit on it and don't want to drop it soon. And it would surely separate the products too much.
Other bits on the Kickstarter page
Lore Updates:
- An Introduction to the World of Solasta
- The Halflings of Solasta
- The Elves & Dwarves of Solasta
- The Rangers & Paladins of Solasta
- The Orcs & Humans of Solasta
- The Half-Elves & Half-Orcs of Solasta
- The Sorcerers of Solasta
That's what I understand from their announce for the Solasta engine, "Talyon will benefit from the technical innovations". For the story, it doesn't look that way. Maybe that's why they named their company like that (or maybe it's a reference to Gygax's company TSR
)

I was hoping they'd make some more adventure modules for Solasta rather than other games - there's a bunch of unused skills and the like in Solasta which are begging for additional expansions/campaigns/add-ons
Yes, though it's more an adaptation to video game format than a modification, we have yet to see a video game that doesn't do that. It's just necessary and I agree with you, it's very well done. I liked the early ideas they had on light and I'm not sure it would have been so "out of the rules" - after all, the DM can give some flexibility depending on the situation. But they backtracked anyway.
Maybe you're seen them, they put the differences here, although a few are missing like rolls on scribing scrolls, and the mechanics of stealth/hidden when attacking. It's not much, and the additions like archetypes and spells are not really modifications, they're the same add-ons everyone has been doing with D&D since the OGL allowed it. So it's very, very light.
The fact it's SRD and not full D&D is probably the most noticeable, not only the settings but the archetypes, feats, spells and so on.
:lol:

To the contrary, perhaps this news is announcing just that. They start a new studio to begin working on a new game while the current one keep working / improving Solasta
What's the ETA on the Sorcerer? I'm already waiting while they tweak the game. If the Sorcerer isn't too far off, I might wait for that too.
They said in the upcoming weeks, sounds sensible to wait unless you'd rather play it right after ToEE for back-to-back comparison.
By the way, the name is Tactical Adventures Lyon - >Talyon. For those who didn't get it.
Thanks, I'll need to read that.
To my shame I must admit that Solasta totally flew under my radar, so to say.
There's no shame in that
There are a few decent reviews in the news here, if you wish to get an idea of how it looks like. This one would be my first choice: https://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47799 - but then I submitted it, so you'll have to decide whether I'm biased or not

Perhaps. I hope that is the case because Solasta has so much potential for new content. Any DLC for Solasta would be an instant buy for me.

This is good news. It was my hope when TOEE released that we’d see several game in the engine but it never quite materialized. So I’m glad to see it may happen with Solasta.
On a side note I ordered physical goodies in the kickstarter and haven’t received or heard anything about it. ( TBH I haven’t put much effort in to it either) Anyone else order physical stuff and know anything about it?
