Downloads locked - Massive Updates Coming!
Posted February 27, 2019 by tome571
Thank you so much for all of the feedback on the project so far. With that feedback, there are some huge changes that are finishing up and a new demo will be available for CLOSED BETA TESTERS ONLY.
If you wish to be a beta tester, please contact me so we can work out the details. As I am moving away from a testing phase moving closer to a completed product stage, I'm closing testing to invite only as to not give away the game for free.
Included below are some of the changes -
- New title screen art
- Reworked entire introduction scene for more impactful and concise storytelling and character development
- Added additional narrative throughout the project
- Currently implementing a "Camp" system where you can talk with your party members, both for quest reminders and character development
- Added a difficulty option that adjusts the encounter rate in the game. As the number of encounters decreases, the amount of xp/gold per fight increases, so you still hit proper levels/equipment at the same points/quests of the game.
- More sprites, with more complex animations.
- Added the ability to escape in battle (previously not possible because of the real-time ATB battle system and it's code)
- Updated fishing scene with a meter to tell how long until your line breaks, more user friendly UI, and sound effects to tell when fish are pulling on the line.
- Testing additional battle features - button presses to do bonus damage on skills and timed attacks.
- More skill combos for the party!
- Implementing a pause for the real-time ATB
- Additional balancing of encounters/items/levels/skills
- Some minor camera effects, panning and zoom .
Be on the lookout for these in the near future. Thanks so much to everyone who provided feedback and played the game. I'm looking forward to finishing up a great game that you will love!
