Synopsis

valyriatear[options]

Description

Valyria Tear is a free (as in the GNU General Public License) 2D J-RPG game based on the Hero of Allacrost engine.

You can play it very much like a typical console role-playing game. You can explore maps and talk to non-playable characters (NPCs), fight active-time battles against multiple enemies, and manage your characters and equipment through a series of menus. Valyria Tear runs in a series of “game modes” which represent different states of operation in the game.

Options

-c, --check

Checks all files for integrity

-d, --debug args

enables debug statements in specified sections of the program, where args can be: all, audio, battle, boot, data, global, input, map, mode_manager, pause, quit, scene, system, utils, video

--disable-audio

Disables loading and playing audio

-h, --help

Prints the help menu

-i, --info

Prints information about the user's system

-r, --reset

Resets game configuration to use default settings

Game Input

Valyria Tear players can input commands to the game either through the keyboard or a gamepad/joystick. Mouse input is not supported.
