Character names have been changed, as I said. George is now Lazarus and King Lewis is now King Ludovicus. I also took the opportunity to mess around with some other names, so the Cape family is now the Capian family.
So up until a few minutes ago there were going to be 4 endings to Tenebris Dominus. This is changing because I had an idea that works better with the story, and DOUBLES the amount of endings!
The last 8 hours or so have been really frustrating. I wanted to try and get Discord rich presence working, and I HAVE apparently been able to connect to Discord - it just hasn't been showing the rich presence panel. I've tried everything I can and I think it's just not possible. I think the main issue is that Discord doesn't detect RMMV games by default, so it just won't work. Unless I'm missing something really obvious, I don't think there's anything I can do about it.
I spent today cleaning up the databases. Removing unused categories, sorting out all the weapons, shuffling all the items around into an order that makes sense... I mean, it's not quite done yet. The armour and item lists are still incomplete, but the weapon one is done.
I think I've mentioned it before, but I:TD will have NG+. I don't want it to just be a simple "replay the game but you're overpowered" thing so I'm adding a bonus NG+ dungeon with an extra bonus area at the end of it with a secret boss that gives you a straight up dev item. This secret boss will be the hardest boss in the game obviously and technically won't be canon, it's just in there as an extra little thing for people who decide to play the game multiple times.
Other NG+ changes will be all shop items available from the start and some lines of dialogue will be different. It won't be too massively changed but there will be an option in NG+ to reset your characters levels to give it a bit more difficulty if you want.
I've touched on it a little bit before but Tenebris Dominus is the culmination of all my favourite ideas from all the different phases of Inkagafar's development since 2012. This Mode 7 effect was planned for The Beginning (2012-2014) and I really wanted to bring it back for this. Of course half the stuff in Tenebris Dominus is only possible thanks to plugins, this mode 7 effect included. A full list of plugins and the fine people who made them will be included in the games directory and in the credits.
