The game

Building toward a persistent world.

Grand Scale's destination is a persistent anime-action MMORPG. Getting there is a sequence, not a leap — the combat has to feel right first, then prove itself in a competitive PvP arena, and from there the world grows outward.

Foundation

Combat feel

Real-time blade combat, tuned by hand until it feels right.

First public releaseMilestone

PvP Arena

A competitive slice that proves the core loop against real players.

The goal

Persistent MMORPG

An original anime-action world, grown outward from the arena.

Under the combat sits a real state machine: combo strings, i-frame dodges, super-armor trades, and velocity-driven attacks — moment-to-moment feel earned frame by frame.

Light combos

Chained strings with cancel windows and hitstop.

Dodge & i-frames

Directional evades with real invulnerability timing.

Super-armor

Stackable armor for deliberate trades under pressure.

Velocity Slash

Momentum-driven attacks that reward commitment.

Concept & design

The world we're building.

The studio

One person, both halves of the craft.

Vastryn Studios is an independent game studio of one — a developer and manga artist building Grand Scale solo, writing the combat code and drawing the world it lives in. The concept and design work on this page is all original, created in-house to set the direction for everything in the game.
