Hey hey people,
Once again, happy new year! Now that 2025 is on its way, we’re back in the studio to share more about Solasta II. Hope you managed to get a good long rest off, because the train ain’t stopping any time soon!
We humans have to get back to work, you adorable little freeloader!
Before we start, don't forget to wishlist Solasta II on Steam - it helps us a ton!
Show me that face!
Let’s be honest, one of the weaker parts of Solasta I was our character models, which were the first things people saw when they started playing. In fact, even in positive reviews some of you said that they were apprehensive about getting the game at first because of how the characters looked.
Now, we explained quite a few times that we unfortunately couldn’t update them in Solasta I because of the entire pipeline already being built for that game. But you know what doing a whole new game in a different game engine allows us to do? That’s right, exactly that! Now, without further ado let me show you in-game screenshots showing currently implemented characters.

Our dwarf in his trusty heavy armor.
Another cute lady halfling, this is the first NPC you'll be talking to in the demo!
Keep in mind that we are still in pre-alpha, and these are all pre-made characters as we have yet to implement the Character Creator. Be assured that once we do, we’ll share it in an article to give you more information on the new visual customization options!
And if you’re wondering if they only look detailed during cutscene, here is a quick screenshot we nabbed in-game while playing. All we did was hide the UI, but no special developer camera or other treatment otherwise.
Part fighter, part cleric, full-time hero - experimenting with multiclassing.
You will soon be able to play around with this crew when the demo comes out. When? Eeeh, we’ll have to ask you to be a little more patient!
A Blast to the Past
Just for fun, for those who may not remember here is how our character models looked in Solasta I for comparison.
The number of "we have BG3 at home" memes that Solasta: Crown of the Magister churned out...
… Quite a glow up, wouldn’t you say?
Community Stream #03 Friday 10th
And with 2025 comes another Community Stream! As usual, I'll be here on Friday to answer even more of your questions about the game - and if we ever run out of them (doubtful but hey maybe after answering 2014 vs 2024 ruleset twenty times we'll get there), let's tackle D&D and the 5e ruleset in general. What are some of your favorite... and most hated moments of playing D&D?
