[HERO I - Back in Production]

Look, I know there have been a lack of updates here for quite some time, but the game is back under production after a bit of a break and things are going pretty well again. After some inspiration from Final Fantasy Tactics A2, I started working on the game and should hopefully have a short demo release or beta by the end of the summer.

Thanks to all of you who have viewed this message, and thanks again for being patient.
I will have a new update in a few days with some new screenshots, etc.

[Finally, another Update]

Sorry it's been so long. Almost a month, actually. For those checking back and not seeing anything new here, I'm very sorry. Things have been hectic with school and CAPT's, so I haven't had much time. However, In the time being I've been able to accomplish a few tasks. 1. Match has now had a makeover as I recieved comments that his hair was a little strange. (For the better!) 2. I've completely finished the "Tent" System for Hero I (explained below) 3. I am finishing up the Church Corruption sidequest and am fixing a few kinks with the mission rating system. (There's way more, just read below! Thanks for checking by!

1. Match's Makeover
I have had some claims that Match's hair was a little silly, or off. I sorta agreed with this and gave him a new makeover. I think he looks way better now, compared to back then. Hope you think so too.
2. Tent System
The Tent system is a system where you can purchase an expensive Tent to be placed on the World Map. The cool thing is, it can be placed anywhere you can walk and be re-used many times. It offers a free area for fishing and the inside of the tent is where you can take a rest and recover health and synergy. (Pics to be added later.)
3. CC Cave continued

CC Cave is coming to an end, but I decided I didn't want to just put any old dumb chest in it. Instead, I editted a chest to become what I call, "The All-Knowing Chest." The chest can predict which Item you do not have (Medical) and give you 1 or 2 of it. I figured it would be helpful for the player. (P.S. I'm working on the last scene but can't show you because it will spoil it.)

4. Augren Redone and Town tasks

I've editted Augren to be a bit better, and also finished implementing the first Town Task mission. Chef Toni wants you to find some ingredients for him around town. It's not difficult, and gives a good reward.

That's all for today, see you soon! (and thanks for stopping by)

DBS fixes and updates

Hey all! Sorry for the gloomy last post, and the long wait until this post. With the help of Neophyte and SammyGamer, I was able to pinpoint and fix my DBS problems. With that said, I also got a little more of the CC Cave done aswell as one of Ephren's sickest skills, Blue Sting. Lastly, with the help of Void, Chainer, Farah, and many other helpful individuals, I was able to put together the intro of Hero: I and record it with Fraps to be put on Youtube for public view. As a result, It's quite grainy and needs a few fixes, but it's still in progress and is just a sneak-peak for now!


Also, here's some new screenshots you may or may not have seen around.
You've seen a version of the third pick, Swallow Kick before, but I made another to show to you that I've re-tweeked it making it much smoother and faster. The final pic is Blue Sting, Ephren's second to last move in the demo.

Well... That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and checking out Hero: I!
