Valor MMO: an online game we built from the ground up

Valor is a free online role-playing game for Windows and Linux, set in a living medieval world. It is our own project. We designed and built the game, the launcher that installs and updates it, the character creator players meet first, and the website that explains it all in fifteen languages.

The project

One project, several products

A game like this is several products that have to agree with each other. Each has its own page, with real captures.

  • The game

    A shared medieval world: a town, keeps to fight through, the sea, and tavern games.

  • The launcher

    A Windows application we wrote to install, update and start the game.

  • The character creator

    Six clear steps from a blank slate to a named character, with a live 3D preview.

  • Interface design

    The title screen, character windows, conversations and mini-game screens.

  • The website

    valormmo.com: guides, patch notes, accounts and a live server status.

  • Fifteen languages

    The game, the launcher and the website, translated and checked, including Arabic.

  • Technology

    What Valor is built with, from the game engine to the web server.

Why it matters to you

What a game teaches a web studio

Most of our work is websites for local governments and small businesses. Valor is where we practice the hard parts.

  • Releases that do not break

    Valor ships a new build to real players regularly. Every release is tested, signed and published the same way each time. Your website gets the same habit.

  • Software, not only pages

    A desktop launcher, player accounts, a shop and game servers. If your project needs more than a brochure site, we have built it before.

  • Many languages, done properly

    Fifteen languages, including a right-to-left one, each checked on screen. If your residents or customers read Spanish first, we know how to serve them.

  • Design people enjoy using

    A character creator has to be understood in seconds by someone who has never seen it. So does a town’s bill-payment page.
