A first look at Velorys, our debut title, recorded from the in-engine UE5 prototype.
Velorys is a narrative JRPG set in a Renaissance-inspired fantasy world, blending classic RPG sensibilities with modern gameplay systems.
We have already produced a fully playable 30-minute prototype in Unreal Engine 5, with all assets created in-house by our 12-person team.
The Team
Alexandre Panau
CEO & Creative Director
A lifelong JRPG enthusiast, I have worked for over a decade as a product manager and producer across anime, film, TV series and video games with both Japanese and French entertainment companies.
I began working on Velorys in 2025 with the ambition of creating the kind of narrative RPGs that inspired me growing up. A game I would love to make and players will want to play. My favorite RPGs include Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VI & IX, Valkyrie Profile, Persona 4 and Baldur's Gate 3.
Loïc Bigot
CTO & Technical Director
For over 25 years, I've worked on games and interactive experiences across design, development and production, from creating and shipping indie titles to leading the technical direction on Syberia: The World Before and Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy.
Across decades of playing and building games, the experiences that stayed with me all share a common DNA: strong RPG systems, adventure and rich storytelling that transport players into believable worlds. I joined Dual Horizon Studio to bring my technical, design and production experience to a project I deeply believe in.
Velorys is being developed by a multidisciplinary team of artists, programmers, designers, animators, musicians and voice actors brought together by a shared passion for RPGs and immersive storytelling. Twelve core developers took part in the development of our prototype, and we did not use any store assets or generative AI because we believe that authenticity and a human touch are essential to creating a memorable game that resonates with players.
