Alpha/Early Beta finished

Hopefully this didn't get you too excited (sorry!) but it was not a public release. I have one main tester playing through this version, but once he is done and I have received his commentary/bugs I will release the PUBLIC beta version (just pm me on gamingworld forums: http://gamingw.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=55118).

And you'll be added to the list! I'll update when I get the news from the tester. Thanks for stopping by!

RMN page + Updates!

Welcome back, RMN (Rpg Maker.net) recently accepted my submission for Hero I, so you can check out the page here:

It's fairly barren, but I will be working on it once the demo release nears.
(Please feel free to leave me some comments :D)

I'm still working quickly so I can release an alpha (or beta I guess) to a tester that has only this weekend and next week off. This extra motivation is helping me to finish off the intro and the other little areas I got bored of finishing. I'll have some more screenshots for you guys in my next post, so thanks for stopping by!

Cyria complete

Hello there! Time for another update. This one will *finally* include much awaited screenshots (for some of you) and it also marks the completion of the largest town in the demo as well as the largest town that I myself have ever completed. It's only 110 x 100, but it contains well over 2680 events as well as a whole bunch of collectible items and a little bit of a scavenger hunt with keys and houses (Which also contains a minigame that took me probably about 5 hours to code).

So without further adieu, here you go:

^THIS is what Cyria looks like at 1/8 (zoomed out).


^ A new scene in the intro.


^ An area that I don't believe I've shown before.


^The swimming system. Complete with the dripping and the splashing. Don't worry. There will be a video eventually.


^This image doesn't really do it justice, but you'll just have to wait and see I guess.


^ An interesting scene in Edith just recently got a makeover. EDIT: I just noticed that I still need to fix the overlay of the lamps. Heh. You can see that it's just a little bit off ;)


^I'm only about as far as Cyria castle plot wise, but this is where I had originally intended to finish the demo. It will now end after the next town.


^ A flashback with a young Ephren.

Phew. This project is almost done. (Thank goodness) The only issue is that my summer is taking a pretty huge hit. It almost makes me feel bad. However, this issue gives me further motivation to finish this sucker quickly and move on.

Thanks for stopping by!

[Almost there...]

The demo is progressing at an alarming rate. I really can't believe how fast it went from garbage to... almost good. I'm re-tweaking EVERYTHING, and it's all coming out very nicely (I even finished the glitches with the day and night system... some of my biggest annoyances and issues).

All I need to do is continue my revisions and then add some new content (and further the plot just a little more) and the demo will be finished and up for downloading.

I really need to become active again on forums as well. This blog will also be getting a redesign too... to something more professional looking (and no more random feathers!)

[Work Resumes]

My interest has sparked again, and so the project is once again underway. I'm re-tweaking the Church Corruption sidequest and making it adhere perfectly to my standards. Once I'm done with this I'll hopefully work on finishing the intro (and making the ideas utilized within FINAL for once) and then continuing the actual plot of the demo. (And not just making ridiculous sidequests)

P.s.

I know the only person who's still reading this stuff is Dragonheartman (because of my inactivity on Gamingworld Forums and DHM's own site).
