It is our pleasure to announce a new narrative roleplay adventure from the minds behind The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante!

The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is a narrative roleplaying game that casts the player as the heir to the Blessed Arknian Empire, who must carve out a destiny for his nation. The world is grim, and the gods are eager to punish anyone who breaks their commandments. People live preordained lives, their fates sealed the moment they are born. It is up to the player to decide what kind of leader they will be: uphold the established order, or build a new kind of future.

You, Prince Jerian of House Tempest, must embark on a lifelong journey. It starts in your childhood, blissfully ignorant of your destiny, and continues into maturity as you take up a role you have been primed for since birth: emperor. As crown prince, you must not only understand your country and its culture, but also make many difficult choices that affect the fragile balance of powers in the Empire, and inside yourself. If you go where political circumstance and family obligations guide you, you risk losing yourself in the chaos. Can you keep yourself whole, or will you shatter?

In addition, to celebrate the official announcement of the game, we are releasing a special video address from the development team at Schisma Games, in which they will pull back the veil of mystery shrouding the contents of their upcoming title. Come watch!

Today, we are lifting the veil of secrecy over the game’s development process and will share a few words on what is happening behind the key feature of HellFlame — the physics system that controls all the in-game objects.

It all started with us not wanting to just make another regular title. Instead of the conventional approach to game development, we decided to take our project in a rather unusual direction by investing our effort, resources, and time into a new technology that we believe can deepen the game experience and serve as the basis for many fresh and unique gaming moments.

That is what we did — we developed one of the most scalable and accurate physics systems to date and called it MAPSFY, an expansive and accurate physics engine. (Share your thoughts as to what the full acronym might stand for in the comments below! 🙂) MAPSFY is able to calculate and simultaneously display an incredible number of 10,000 3D models within a single scene, all with seamless and smooth processing on virtually any device.

This system forms the basis for our new game, HellFlame — an arena bullet heaven where, thanks to the aforementioned tech, all objects can physically interact with each other, and the enemies literally react to your every move. Imagine that you are locked in a small area with hundreds of demons coming to get you from all sides. You are free to use and combine up to 6 weapons at once, putting together an arsenal that would help you deal with foes in the most effective and spectacular way possible: chop fiends with swords, pierce them with stakes, or watch monsters fall in droves from your blows, collide, try to get up and rush into battle again, or go flying straight down into the abyss. Use elemental features and other objects scattered around the arena to your advantage: set enemies on fire or extinguish them, blast them with lightning or freeze their hides, turning demons into ice chunks that easily break into tiny pieces. Efficiency, spectacle, scale and, of course, the pleasure of battle itself — that is what we aim to achieve!

Specifically for you, we have prepared a short video that shows how the game developed during the past five months. A lot of work has been done, and we are excited to share our progress with you. Keep in mind that HellFlame is still in the early stages of development and will only get better!

Your support means a lot to us, and we invite you to join us on this experimental and even slightly crazy adventure. It is an amazing opportunity for you to influence the development of a new title from scratch, while for us, it is an invaluable chance to hear your opinion and read your comments about our project. Together, we can make HellFlame the best game it can be!
