So I did some more coloring on Tuna during the stream today which should be on the hitbox account. Thanks for all that tuned in. Also tried solving some sound issued. Thanks to the cookie and infinity for helping me with that. Hopefully I'll remember it next week.

So right now I'm trying to get the tactical battle thing going. I have all the pieces but I think I might need a week or two to assemble it all. Then onto the third dungeon. Take care.

    This has some good feedback about how to properly implement balance and I think it would be a great idea if u checked it out.

  2. Wait... Regless,... in the last thread, when you say we shouldn't trust you.... does that mean when you say that you still have 2 more dungeons to complete, that you're actually already finished? o.O
    Dun dun DUUUN!

    1. More like it means when he tells you that you're one of the beta's you should be ready to realize that it's just a joke, and you have to wait until the test is done. Because he's evil like that. (I really hope not, that *would* be evil...)

    3. LOL. Those are some mean pranks I could play. Naw it's more like when I say I've gotten everything ready for the tactical battle system I haven't actually tried it all out properly so I could still turn out to be missing huge chunks of stuff.

      Last night I was up till about 3am cuz I realized I was using older versions of facesets. So I had to get all the new one in properly despite having said all the artwork was done.

      Or after the forth dungeon I'm not going straight into alpha testing because I need to check if any of the new events broke any of the old events and made the game unplayable. Work work~ \o/

    4. You were up till 3am, too? I was waiting for my friends copy of Advanced Warfare to download. It finished downloading and then I went home. -_-

    9. It's usually just a case case of adding a switch or conditional branch to make sure they don't trigger too early.

  3. Sup guys, I wanna tell u about a game I found that was paid for through kickstarter donations, and was produced for free download.

    Single player game with no in game purchases.

    Itt u guys will really like it. It's "Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius"

    It's a turn based strategy rpg kinda like the fire emblem. I think it's the way regless is planning his "war" combat anyway.

    2. ... do you guys want to know how just how effective a cat is against a dragon?

      Delete
    3. Answer: It's not.
      It's kind of like slapping a redwood with a piece of looseleaf paper. Ineffective and frankly a little insulting.

    4. I actually found that game a while back. Never played it though as the tactical combat didn't really look all that fun and it seemed really heavy on the vn stuff. The follow up game seems like a better vn but still not all that interesting a game.

      And I'm aiming for something fire-emblem ish~

    5. i hear about sunrider in this blog, and i love it

    6. So is the combat in general changing or just for the war?

    1. Will they be anything like the original Suikoden battles? I know they were a basic "rock-paper-scissors" formula, but they were fun

      Delete
    2. A rock paper scissors system is bad you basically force people to relly on luck not strategy. And some people get frustrated by this a lot. A good example is a game called age of wushu.MMO RPG whith rock paper scissors style. It went from the most popular cos of artstyle and story to 3rd rate cos of this combat system. Sure 20% of the people may like this but majority rules.

      Delete
    3. Definitely trying to avoid the rock paper scissors type system. That just does not seem like it would be good... or fun. There's just not enough to get invested in in those kinds of games.

      Delete
    4. Fair enough, I will admit that the Suikoden 2 battles were a lot more fun and required much more tactics. Regardless I like the amount of thought being put into the details, and I look forward to seeing what you end up using for the major battles.

  5. Whelp, I played this game called "harem maker" or somethin (rpg maker game on hongfire), and the main character gathers women he enslaves thanks to a magical ring, with moral choices then he goes to a kingdom of some kind to enslave the princess but just as he enters his women get raped by tentacles and then he gets imprisoned and ntrd by random ppl over and over and over again.

    Then he gathers only a handful of his harem as some of them were kidnapped/left him.

    that plot twist was completely unexpected. wtf.

    @regless pls dont do this. Please don't have unavoidable ntr.

    1. Its just called Harem and i think its unfinished. Then there is Harem Collector`wich is currently bein made and theres a fair ammount of stuff to do. But thats enslaving and then geting romance up. I dont think reg has enslaving planed cos this game runs on romance frst but i could be wrong

    2. Well, the game seems to be on infinite hiatus where the author has been silent for a year, so, tragically enough, that seems to be the end.

      Delete
    3. I HATE when people do that. They don't even say it's over. They just dissappear. Did they die? Did they get kidnapped? Do they simply not care about their fanbase?

      Delete
    4. Seriously. If I was making an indi game, Id write up a will instructing my lawyer that upon my demise, he is to log into my developement site and inform my fanbase of my tragic death and release the plot for the remainder of plot as well as all the work I'd done, so a devoted fan could finish it.

    5. Robert take it from someone who did do some update thing, the thing that gets most exhausting is the stress of building the game. It starts off fresh and fun, then begins to give you bugs. Then you fix the bugs, and you have to keep in mind the thousands of lines of code you've already done. Then everytime u build on top of it, it gets more tiring and complicated and u just wanna say, "fuck this." because no one is paying u to deal with this stress.

      Everytime u open the game to edit it and add to it, you're constantly thrown into the reality that it's not organized in an easy to edit fashion. You barely get progress done before getting distracted by something more important from real life.

      U take a break. The break starts off as a week, then u begin to forget u were ever posting. Then as time goes by it's harder and harder to confront ur fans that the thing is dead. U kinda hope they get the message.

      I probably would have ragequit by now if i was regless honestly. I wouldn't be suprised if he just stopped posting one day.

      Delete
    6. That's why it helps to leave your game open. Harem collector locks theirs, but I unlock it every time the update comes out. Of course, I also help with fixing bad coding when I find it so they haven't said anything about it, and I'm a backer so...

      Still, having other sets of eyes does help things.

      Delete
    7. But as for not telling people it's over and just hoping they "get the message"? That's just bad form.

      It's like the guy or girl who is dating someone and wants to break up but is scared of hurting the other person's feelings. Man up, and say it's not working out. Don't just avoid her calls for a few weeks. That's just bad dude.

    8. Im with cloud. I get that it's stressful and hard and its your game and your choice. But you should have some manners. It's worse not knowing.

  6. How many chapters total did you wanna make this again?

    1. I think he said three. Then he still had to go back and add in the other possible routes. So this could take a while.

      Although, once he finishes the first route, most of the art should be done since towns and dungeons will likely be re-used. Of course, there will be story differences and new characters that you don't interact with in other routes to add, but the world-building will be mostly done.

      Delete
    2. 10 actually. Most of them much shorter than Queen of Opala chapters... takes forever to do the art~

      Delete
    3. Thank god. Those chapters took forever. But I think that raises the question.... is every chapter gonna take as long as this one?

      Delete
    4. Probably longer if I can't find some regular help unfortunately. Either someone to do the events while I focus on the art or vice versa.
