• So a quick thought/question to anyone interested
  March 07, 2019 by AI Sin

  So right now the development is going slowly because I'm looking for a good engine (Godot and Unity look like they have the best potentials so far). The question I have though is whether people would like to see multiple versions with the 'stable' version (without the new assets) being the main version, but also a second version as I get more custom assets for people who would want to preview the...

  So took a bit of a hiatus from devlogs (Sorry! I totally forgot to update here!). For those that don't follow the facebook or patreon feeds, I'm currently working on the fonts for this game (and the rest of the series). Continue reading

  A few new visuals for bosses have been made. Should soon make a small visual update once all the current bosses are done. (I am waiting for all the new visuals to be ready before pushing the next update). Also should be adding a new music track at some point. If anyone wants to see the new visuals early, it might be possible to sneak a few peeks out. Just maybe I'll post an example of some of the... Continue reading

  Deciding between Engines So right now I've expanded to 3 different engines that I'm testing out. As part of the testing out process, I'm working on another game. Currently looking at 3 engines. Unity, RPG Maker, and Visual Novel Maker. Haven't actually used Unity yet so all I know is that from experience, the projects made with Unity tend to do poorly performance-wise. RPG Maker will do almost e... Continue reading

  So still trying to decide on whether I want to switch over to VNM. The main issue is that with VNM, the dungeon aspect will be more difficult as VNM is more difficult to work with as far as 2.5d goes. On the other hand, everything else would be easier, including battles (ironic as that might be). So the question becomes whether to switch to VNM and figure out some way to deal with dungeons or sta... Continue reading

  A lot of graphical assets are being made, but somewhat stalled because I'm deciding if I should switch to Visual Novel Maker. Despite a lot of bugs and needing to learn a bunch of code to add in a RPG section, VNM is potentially better. The question is whether it is worth it to make a change since I'd probably have to have a lot of sprites and tilesets and such redone. That said, I'm going to try... Continue reading

  Uploading a visual patch with the new artwork. The artwork is still being updated. There are a few bugs in this version which should be fixed once the artwork is finished (The bugs have to do with a lot of tilesets and images being modified so once I'm done with those, the bugs should settle down).

  New characters have their graphics being prepared. Preparing the main characters for a graphics update (Will be updating dialogue boxes as the characters get finalized graphics). Once the main characters have their graphics updated, I'll be adding in the new storylines and adjusting the story a little to have a better flow. We'll be doing a big storyline push soon (we'll be updating mechanics at... Continue reading

  So been a while since I posted, looks like I may have a heart issue so they'll be monitoring my heart. Meanwhile, I'll still be working on this. Have two new storylines I plan to add soon and one update to a storyline that most people won't have realized exists (because it requires keeping a character alive that is prone to dying).

  So apparently someone decided to steal this game and post it as his own. Lol, wut? Seriously? Anyways, been having a lot of medical issues recently since my health has been on a major decline. Based on the most recent checkup though, I should be good to go in a week or so until April. Why is my next appointment on April 1st? Are they going to give me a "Oh you have a year left to live." diagnosis... Continue reading

  Currently still working on the core scripts. I've been sick for a while so I haven't been making any progress due to the need to rest. I'm getting better so hopefully I'll be working on the scripts again. Continue reading

  Event was happening too late, hindering progression. Event has been moved to where it should be. Normal enemies gaining HP too fast, bosses gaining HP too late. Enemy HPs have been modified. We've tried to assist in people who don't pay attention to excessively long text. Because everyone knows that fairies are liars. Continue reading

  #igmc2017, #update, #bugfix

  Combat Rebalance Uses the intended combat formulas. New formulas will make health more important and raw defense both less important and more important. (It will be less important at lower levels where enemies don't hit as hard, but more important at higher levels when enemies do more damage). With the CTB system, the game should flow properly. Before, Guard Crush skills were far too weak consider... Continue reading
• Hotfix to come tomorrow.
  December 18, 2017 by AI Sin

  Intended hotfix will come tomorrow. Currently trying to do some last minute fixes. This will not add any major new content (if anything, it is removing some content). This is mainly a balance patch to bring the game back to how it was originally meant to be before the easy mode was added (which was apparently a bit excessive). Continue reading
• Future Plans for after judging
  November 09, 2017 by AI Sin#Planned

  Combat Rebalance We wanted to fix up the balance of combat, but due to time constraints, we had to revert. New system will make health more important and raw defense both less important and more important. (It will be less important at lower levels where enemies don't hit as hard, but more important at higher levels when enemies do more damage). Battle Gauge system! Fight multiple battles at once!...

• Game Judging Begins! No updates until finished!
  November 06, 2017 by AI Sin

  Butler is finally catching up, but it means my builds are coming out 12 hours after I pushed them (and I've been submitting a new version every 4 hours). Since this is for IGMC2017, this game will not be updated during the judging period. Continue reading
• 0.0.1.1c Uploading! Download the RIGHT version!
  November 06, 2017 by AI Sin

  I'm going to do a lot of version hopping as new tweaks are found. There is only really one main difference between 0.0.1.1b and 0.0.1.1c... One of the battles was far too easy and I wanted the players to at least get to see the boss's skills. HP has been increased, though you may still one shot him depending on your build. Make sure you download the right version! Itch.io has been having issues wi... Continue reading
• 0.0.1.1b
  November 06, 2017 by AI Sin

  While the push will show up as 0.0.1.1a when it finishes, the new version is actually b. Fixed a few rather hefty bugs such as repeating text and bugs that prevented you from healing. Also fixed an issue where one of the endings was technically possible to get, but effectively impossible without an excessive amount of effort. Continue reading
• First Major Revision 0.0.1.1a
  November 05, 2017 by AI Sin

  Changed a massive chunk of the game to make updates easier in the future. Added some extra flavor text, removed a few minor bugs, unsure what bugs have been added. Major Gameplay Changes: Class change is now through the menu. Class change NPC no longer gives you the option to change your class. She is being reworked for the dungeon. The dungeon is NOT finished and thus NOT connected yet. Added m... Continue reading

Changes: Difficulty revamped so that lower level = easier monsters Boss levels slightly stable now, it is no longer easy to cheese with a level 1 character. Time to reach most endings reduced. Two boss fights revamped. First fight requires... Continue reading

  0.0.1.0d is currently processing. 0.0.1.0e is ready and waiting for 0.0.1.0d to finish. Some major fixes, including revamping the difficulty. It means that at lower levels, you will fight easier monsters, but at higher levels, you will fight stronger monsters. The boss levels are more stable now, no more / easy / level 1 cheese. Revamped two of the big boss fights. They are much more difficult now... Continue reading

  Fixed a few bugs, added a few thousand more. Added 10 more endings! Some of these can be a little tricky to unlock! Continue reading
• 0.0.1.0
  November 04, 2017 by AI Sin

  0.0.1.0 has some somewhat major changes. In the 0.0.1.0e hotfix patch after (should be up very shortly), one minor ending is now made easier to achieve (It before require a lot of effort) and one ending is made more difficult (You have to try to get it now). First hub expansion is unlockable now. We added some bugs to our game. Most of these are intentional XD Continue reading
