Indie sword action game 'VARVARION' announced; made by one person, Junya Motomura, ASW technical artist and Dragon Ball FighterZ director

[Dreamboum]

Absurd work coming from this person.

 

[Mesoian]

I'm here for buff cat girls.

No seriously though, this looks interesting. If they can iron out the usual movement issues that arena fighters have, this could be something special.

 

[Big Tent Expat]

Seems interesting! Here's the man, himself:

 

[raketenrolf]

That looks great. Wish he could make an action adventure in this style but I guess that's too much for one person. Still impressed by what he has done.

 

[CountAntonio]

Damn this guy is good. I love me some melee combnat.

 

[viotech3]

Visuals are super impressive for the sword movements

 

[Chivalry]

"Made by one person" usually means mega jank. Looks neat, so I'll probably check it out someday.

 

[Stowaway Silfer]

I didn't know he left ASW. This looks good.

 

[Dreamboum]

I didn't know he left ASW. This looks good.

As far as I know, yes.

SOLD!

But seriously, it looks kinda promising for a one person project.

 

[Kalor]

This looks really neat. Especially for being one person.

 

[Ghostsonplanets]

This looks cool as heck! Hopefully it isn't a PS exclusive.

 

[headspawn]

Pretty cool, I just hope those sound fx aren't final.

 

[Liam Allen-Miller]

Looks really excellent and gives me BIG IMPOSTER SYNDROME VIBES.

 

[AnansiThePersona]

Glorious hit stop. Pour it on me

 

[Razor Mom]

Looks sweet.

 

[Jinaar]

Wow this looks darn good. Impressive and inspiring. Thanks for posting this!

 

[Skulldead]

He did that alone in how many time ? this is impressive or he stole some code on the side(I'm joking)

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

For being made by one person, this is amazing.

Being an indie game too, imagine what profits if this is a success...

 

[Yossarian]

That looks fun.

 

[Zyrox]

Junya Motomura is essentially the guy responsible for the modern 2.5D ArcSys style so no wonder this looks good. I wonder though what this means for his role at ArcSys? Hope that doesn't mean he's leaving. If he made this on the side while still working at ArcSys well that's damn impressive.

 

[Stowaway Silfer]

As far as I know, yes.

Even more impressive.

I mean, it looks similar to Kill La Kill game gameplaywise. But I don't think he took any code from it.

 

[ArjanN]

Looks good so far, I'd really like for one of these arena fighters to actually have tight combat for once.

 

[I KILL PXLS]

Ooo this looks hot.

 

[s y]

Combat looks better than any AAA western title released this gen

 

[Chopchop]

Looks impressive, especially considering it's made by just one person.

He did all this himself while also doing a full-time job?

...does he sleep?

 

[Cantaim]

This is absolutely amazing!

 

[Biteren]

Ok I'm down

 

[Shinobido Heart]

I'm in.

 

[Warrior of Light]

Will keep an eye on this for sure.

 

[RROCKMAN]

Loving this 80's anime look

 

[GenG]

The style reminds me of Bastard! and Satoshi Urushihara.

 

[Soulstar]

This looks really fun.

 

[Luckett_X]

HIGH. SPEED. BLADE. BATTLE. STIMULATOR.

For some reason this game is triggering my Dreamcast game aesthetic sense hard.

 

[donkey]

Damn this looks good. Loving the movement there. The hit stuns/stops give me great joy.

 

[Remapped88]

Ummm holy shit, why does this looks like everything I've wanted in a 3D weapon combat game? That movement, animations, etc all look very good!

 

[DaciaJC]

For Honor?

 

[Aufdeel]

Thanks OP for make this thread, I will be pending of this game. Looks super promising

 

[Iori Loco]

Looks pretty cool! Amazing that is made by a single person.

 

[Deleted member 2620]

guilty gear 2 vibes

 

[The Turbanator]

Came for the art style.

Staying for that barbarian girl ❤❤❤

 

[Gouf]

Looks incredible. Excited to see more.

 

[HStallion]

Damn that combat looks excellent even in rough work-in-progress form and especially so coming from a single person. Really impressive stuff and I hope to see more.

 

[Razgriz417]

i dig it, def keeping an eye on this

 

[MrWindUpBird]

I feel like I'm missing something. Other than the laudable fact that it's made by one person, it...Really doesn't look that good?

 

[nded]

It looks so 90s. I like it.

 

[Charsace]

Love the look. Just wonder what the game is outside of the combat.
