'''SolDirix''', also known as '''Sol''', formerly known as '''Solid_Spy''' or '''SolidSpy24''', is a [[furry artist]], [[indie game developer]], and [[Musician|music producer]].

== Fursona ==

His [[fursona]] is a [[folf]] with jet-black fur and a gray face, tail tip, and underbelly. He has short, maroon hair and bushy eyebrows, and yellow eyes that fade to orange. His build is lean, and he is typically seen wearing clothes. He also has a [[feral]] form.

His previous fursona was similar but had yellow hair and blue eyes, and was a [[fox]] with a skinnier build. Was usually feral.

The first fursona he came up with however was an [[eevee]] with jet-black fur and an orange chest fluff, as well as purple eyes. It was mainly inspired by Eevee Party, which was also his first major influence in joining the fandom back in the late 2000s.

== Game development projects ==

His biggest works are his most recently created indie title [[A2 Zygon]]<ref>[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1910490/A2_Zygon/ A2 Zygon Steam page]</ref>, and his custom 3D game engine made in C++ with OpenGL 4.3<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CAYgUh08ek 3D game engine YouTube video]</ref>.

He has also worked on other projects, such as:
* Cybercano - A Doom 2 mod featuring 9 custom levels. You fight a cybervirus that opens a portal to hell.<ref>[https://www.moddb.com/mods/cybercano Cybercano ModDB page]</ref>
* Mauser - A college group indie project influenced by Cuphead. He worked as a programmer and level designer and made the song for the final boss.
* Pacman Portal - Another college indie project, but solo made. Features Pacman but uses a portal gun to teleport around the stage.
* Cross The Road - A small Crossy Road demake made as a solo school project in Unreal Engine 4 using Blueprints.
* Basketball VR - A small Basketball VR solo project made in Unreal Engine 4 with C++.

== Music ==

He produces most of his music using FL Studio 20. Most of his own music is chiptune and electronic, although he loves to experiment with different styles. He also loves to make fan music from video games and movies. Some of his most influential artists are ZUN, Grant Kirkhope, Eiffel 65, Deadmau5, Gigi D'Agostino, Living Tombstone, Wooden Toaster, and Daft Punk.

== Artwork ==

Most of his art is made in Gimp and Krita, and is primarily submitted to [[Fur Affinity]]. He also makes and rigs his own 3D models in Blender. His biggest influences have been Badasi (Yu Ji, creator of Eevee Party and the Warrior Cats animated series), [[Jay Naylor]], [[Don Bluth]], and Corvus Katana (previously known as FlightFootWarrior).

A2 Zygon

2023-05-29T08:02:11Z

136.52.68.89: /* Reception */

{{wikify}}
{{copyedit}}
{{unref}}
'''A2 Zygon''' is a 2D, retro-themed, bullet hell indie game for PC and Mac. It features [[anthropomorphic]] [[character]]s and has its own unique gameplay mechanics. It has been solo-developed by '''Connor Gresko''' ([[SolDirix]]) using [[Unreal Engine 4.26]]. The game was released on [[Steam]] on December 1st, 2022. It took about a year to complete. A demo was released about halfway through production.

== Plot ==

The game takes place on the planet of '''Vodos''', a world fueled by magic and populated by anthropomorphic beings. It is however tainted by dark magic originating from the dark realm of Endrenold. A corrupt wizard by the name of Osilis steals a spell scroll that unleashes a dangerous entity from Endrenold and the A2 realm within it. Two rival wizards in training, Oren and Flair, decide to hunt Osilis down and get the scroll back before it is too late.

== Gameplay ==

The game has a similar gameplay style to some of the older Touhou games, but with a mix of new elements including:

* Saving between levels and bosses during story mode.
* Status effects from enemy bullets.
* A strike attack in place of bombs.
* A split easy and hard path during story mode.
* A larger multitude of unlockables.
* A more in-depth story line with plenty of lore.
* A currency system that doubles as a scoring system.

=== Story mode ===

The player chooses between two playable characters:
* Oren - A male, gray-furred, Vodosian [[wolf]]. He is clad in blue armor and carries a large blade in his right hand with which he fires magic projectiles from and uses to strike his enemies. He has a wily personality and a slight temper.
* Flair - A female, white-furred, Vodosian [[cat]]. She specializes in fire magic and can strike her enemies by summoning an orb of fire which she swings around. She has a more stoic personality.

Oren has faster speed and more focused attacks, but has lower health. Flair has slower speed and spread out attacks, but higher health. Flair is recommended for beginners.
The player travels from level to level, beating a boss at the end of each. Dialog for most bosses change based on certain actions made by the player. The player gathers hearts to increase health, spades to use strike attacks, and gets coins from defeating enemies and saving up health until the end of the level. The player can also get 3 hidden upgrades in most of the levels. Coins are used to activate the upgrades at the end of each level.

Upgrades include:
* Health - Increases maximum health points by 5.
* Bullet Distance - Increases bullet distance by a small amount.
* Bullet Quantity - Increases the number of bullets fired by 1, also changing the attack formation slightly.

On the upgrade screen, the player is also given a world map to show their current location and what levels they have completed. Any coins saved up after beating or giving up story mode get stashed. They can later be used to purchase cards the player has unlocked.

The player gets either a good or bad ending depending on the path they take.

=== Training mode ===

Lets the player get a hold of the controls and gameplay mechanics. Just like story mode, the player can choose to play as either Oren or Flair. The player can destroy targets and learn about the controls, collectables, and upgrades.

=== Extras ===
==== Challenge levels ====

These are harder levels that the player unlocks by meeting certain criteria. They are meant to be more of a challenge than the levels in story mode. Most contain new enemies, locations, and bosses.

==== Cards ====

Cards are the game's progress indicators and provide lore and hints. They all have their own unlocking criteria. After unlocking a card, the player can use the coins they have stashed away to activate them, flipping them over to reveal what they are.

There are 3 tiers of cards to unlock:
* Rose Gold - The top tier.
* Platinum - Second tier. Mostly bosses and special areas.
* Gold - Third tier. Mostly enemies.

==== Other ====

Players can view high scores as well as other unlockables.

== Reception ==

Most reception has been positive, particularly from the game's reviews on Steam. Many praise the game's music and variety of difficulty.
Some have criticized that the game does diverge a bit from the traditional bullet hell formula, such as the addition of player health instead of dying in one hit. In previous versions of the game, players noted the collectables were harder to collect since they didn't home in on the player in any way. Some users with older/weaker graphics cards have had technical issues running the game since it does require a stronger graphics card that supports DirectX 10, despite being 2D and retro-themed.

== Trivia ==

* ''A lot of the art direction was influenced by games like Final Fantasy I, Undertale, and Kingdom Hearts.''
* ''The creator has an entire walkthrough available on the Steam page that reveals everything except the lore found in cards, major easter eggs, and hidden achievements.''
* ''The game itself was originally meant to be a 3D RPG made with a custom game engine many years before its production. It was scrapped for a top-down 3D bullet hell/RPG called 'A2 Rosen', which was being made in Unreal Engine 4. Eventually, due to issues importing models from Blender and the game starting to show it's design flaws, A2 Rosen was scrapped as well. A2 Zygon was revived as a simpler 2D bullet hell that was much more manageable.''
