For the past two weeks I've spent a lot of time working on a variety of spells for the player to cast, both useful and not-so useful. As usual there's also a lot of other additions near the bottom of this post.
The biggest thing of this weeks post is the new trailer I made and published earlier this week. It doesn't represent all the things you can do in the game, but it should give a decent idea of what's going on. I hope you like it. I am planning to make more videos in the time ahead, hopefully with better editing.
I've added 8 new spells that you can cast, some of which are more useful than others. Below are some highlights:
There should be a video demonstrating the magic in not too long.
Tales has been in development for a while now, and it's almost time to enter beta! The beta is planned to start on June 9 over at Itch.io. During this time the game will be available for free, with optional purchase for those who want to support further development.
Once the beta is ready I will make another blog post annoucing it, including a download link and some instructions on how to report bugs/errors/glitches/feature requests(within reason). I'm very excited to have strangers play it and not just friends and get some feedback on what is currently in the game. No time frame has been set for how long the beta will last.
New dialogue screen preview. Please excuse the prototype art.
Old dialogue box
This is a consideriable amount of work, as each dialogue box has to be manually replaced. I have no estimate for how long it will take to update them all, but the current goal is to have most of it done by the time of beta.
That's it for the past two weeks, hope you enjoyed. Next post will mostly be dealing with the beta and some instructions related to reporting bugs and all that. So long!
