An update because i haven't done a proper one in a while. One of the game graphics and one of the characters in the game. I'm not going to say too much more about that to avoid spoilers. the girl is about 90% done. just needs some touch ups.

I may need to redo some of the UI graphics to fix distortion on non-native resolutions, spent a couple weeks dabbling in music before enlist some help. Hopefully that works out all right. Did a shit ton on the plot.  I know exactly how the prologue is going to work now. Which characters I need and which ones to hold off on. Main focus now is getting the initial roster done. Being a more sandboxy type game I'd like to have as many of the characters as possible visible from the get-go. cheers.

  1. Woohoo! Always great to hear from you Regless, I take it this is in a world similar to Shadowrun, in that it has both advanced magic and tech in it? Definitely did a great job with both pieces here.

  2. Awesome, Regless does this mean you will redo the whole prologue of the game?

    1. no. I was focusing on non-story related elements until I at least had a better idea of the progression. A couple drawings look off but I don't think there's anything that need to be redone at the moment, except for some of the UI graphics.

  4. Great to get an update! Characters look well polished. Looking forward to seeing the first alpha. Also great to see you enlist help. Bonehead is one of the better games I've played and I wish you had more assistance on your projects so as to have less of a workload. Cheers!

    1. Sorry. Game isn't being updated since I was unable to replicate and fix some of the game crashing bugs that kept appearing. New game is called Goldfish Hacker. basically I want to us a new engine since RPG maker is a little too limited.

    2. Wait, so Bonehead is gone for good? I thought you were going to eventually remake it with a new engine to avoid the bugs.

    3. Say it ain't so, Regless! Bonehead was such a good concept. ;~;

    4. No, it's not gone for good. It is gonna be gone for a significant amount of time though and I don't want to make it sound like it's just around the corner or anything.

    1. Ahhh you know how much I hate estimating deadlines. I'm still drawing characters for the first chapter. although full disclosure, part of the reason it's going slow is because they released like 12 games i really wanna play in the span of about 2 months. Like... holy shit.

    2. just to add. I have about 3 characters left out of a cast of 10 for the prologue. Also guy I've I'm hoping to help me out with music is swamped with school so that could end up being an issue and yeah... never goes smoothly. Really annoying.

    3. um if you don't mind me asking, do you want songs from other games/tv series/manga anime like from bonehead or do you just want some 'good enough' music?

    4. I want to actually make money off this project so I'm covering all my bases. all characters over 18, no preexisting music or graphics, ect. So there's going to be a drop off in quality of the music but I'd like to keep it as minimal as possible. The guy i contacted, his stuff fits really well with what i'm going for so I really hope he's able to manage that workload at somepoint. If not i'll keep looking to see if anyone else is taking comissions for music. And if anyone reads this and has any questions about the price, the first chapter will still be completely free.

    5. I see, i got 2 questions left then is your plan to have music something like this, http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/music/modern-day-sfx/http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/music/adventurers-journey-2 or http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/music/cyberpunk-music-pack/http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/music/sci-fi-audio-bundle or will it be music with lyrics. 2 what file type for music does game maker use? I might be able to fix something depending on your answears. :) I am not music guy myself but well i have a couple of friends in music genre i might be able to ask for small favors or so^^

    6. definitely the second set. And the music I'm expecting to have no voices. One character is a pop idol so I don't mind making an exception for her theme but in general it seems like voices would make things a lot harder. A couple other examples would be

      or a more chiptune sounding theme like this.

  9. i see, i might be able to ask a friend who is in a band since if no voices is needed perhaps an arrangement can be made a track or 10 without voice's should't take too long compared to having to find someone willing to sing it. :) altough if something/anything on rpgmakerweb strikes your fancy be sure to tell me. :)

  11. It's been 5 years since the bonehead rpgmaker released in 2012. This project is longer than i thought, can't believe i still follow it. I hope it will be released soon.
