Hi there,
Yes, still working away at the update. Still plenty to do and I want to spend as much time getting it right.
I went back to the original for a playthru and there's so much that has changed AND needs changing. The town feels like it's own wee town now. The people will have more character about them - I want A LOT more dialogue this time around. People won't be immediately afraid of Vlad now. I mean, vampires aren't real... right? Just some dude in a cape!
You don't have to eat anyone now.
You can run now as well, plus... fighting stance!
Cutscenes and more world building are going to be added as well. What's with the green crap in the sewers? Why is the butcher making late night deliveries? What's that crying sound coming from the caves? What happened to Barry? And more importantly, where the hell is Vlad's stuff???
The music and sounds are getting a c64 overhaul and the OST is going to be more in line with the type of game I'm making. That SID chip sounds gorgeous!
My only issue is time - I don't have enough of it! Having a full time job and a 1 year old (who is awesome) only allows me time to work at things at night or when I get time off, so it's gonna be a little longer. However a good friend of mine is giving me a hand with some of the coding, so that has helped ease things.
More to come, and thanks for the question!
