New! - PC Demo:

Hi guys! I'm Tom Ruki from Valorware. A few months ago, we put up an announcement for the demo release of our upcoming game, 9th Dawn, which is being released for Android, iOS, and the PC. Since then, we've been working hard on the project and have made significant progress and received a large amount of positive feedback for the game.

We have initiated a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funding for various costs associated with the project and also to give our fans and prospective players the opportunity to pre-order a special Kickstarter edition of the game with a few features not included in the Google Play, Amazon, and Apple stores.

To find out more about our game and company, please visit the Google Play page for our game, which features a playable tech demo, and our Kickstarter page, both of which are linked below.

We made this game in C++, coding our own engine on top of the MadeWithMarmalade library. It was exhaustive, but we get great performance and capabilities out of it.The game has lots of features that you don't normally find in a smartphone game, and the action-packed realtime combat system makes it a fun and engaging experience... hopefully. We have two videos demonstrating gameplay and other mechanics on our Kickstarter page.

As always, we are open to suggestions, constructive criticism, and general feedback for the game. Just shoot us an e-mail at support@valorware.com. Thanks for looking!

We have just released a PC Demo! You can download it here:
http://valorware.com/index.php/games/9thdawnpc
or a direct link to the installer:
http://valorware.com/downloads/9thdawnsetup.exe

It is a direct port of the current state of the game. We have only just produced this so there are a few GUI elements that need to be tweaked, aswell as user input. It is compatable with Joypads such as PS3 or xbox360 controllers, aslong as it has two joysticks it should be fine!

WASD movement for keyboard/mouse users. Right click in a direction = attack. Joypad users move with left stick, attack with right stick. Ranged weapons require a trigger press (R1, right trigger, button 5/6) aswell as the right stick.

The game automatically autosaves periodically and when you exit/close the game. Don't forget to equip your weapons/armour, and spend your attribute points!

Our kickstarter is still active, although it's not looking very hopeful in all honesty. You can still contribute, and if it isn't successful, you don't have to pay!

I downloaded the demo but can't run it. It gives me a 'failed to start D3D application'.

I reinstalled/updated direct X but still doesn't work.

Help?

You can actually get both the mobile and Windows version with the Indie Gala Mobile 3 that ends in 22 hours:
