Simple blog to cover rpgmaker game BoneHead progress.
Saturday, May 19, 2018
It's been a while so I figured I'd show you all what I've been working on. Work has been a major pain int he ass lately and there's been a couple snags with the art but progress continues as per the usual.
this is what I've been working on since rpgmaker failed me. it was supposed to be a smaller project that would allow me to build and test out things I could do in the redone Bonehead in a new engine. I have trouble keeping things small.
The premise is basically megaman battle network with boobs.
As for Bonehead's fate. the plan is to rotate between games chapter to chapter.
These scenes look pretty good, and I'm glad that we're getting more work from you, but I just gotta ask. Do you have an ETA for when we'll be able to play either of these games? I loved what we got to play of Bonehead, and your new game idea looks to be a homerun too, but you haven't released a new version since 2015. I know that you basically had to rebuild the game from scratch because you couldn't use RPGMaker to make Bonehead, but I'm just wondering when I'll be able to play it again. Hey, you could even project your next release being in 2020 and I'd be fine with it, I just REALLY want to know when either of these games will be playable.
Well. I don't think it'll be 2020. I plan on going chapter by chapter and rotating through the games. as for why no ETA. the simple answer is I am really shitty at guesstimating. I'll give you an example. That outdoor school scene there. I had a bunch of ideas on how I wanted to do that. I had ideas for background effects lighting effects all sorts of cool stuff to really bring the place alive. The initial ones didn't work. Either they produced graphical glitches or were untilable and thus useless. So after making a couple background splash pages, multiple tilesets, concepts, and a few other things I finally got it right. But I was way off my initial time estimation of about 2 weeks. In actuality I spent more like three month months on it. Now granted that's a lot of mistakes i won't be making again but you get my point.
But if you really want an ETA. I'm hopfull to get the proof of concept out this year and then the full chapter out the next. please do not hold me to this. If another bogged down again it is very unlikely I will make it this year.
Alright, I wasn't asking for a completed release, I get that these things take years to put together, but I was just wondering when we'd be getting ANY released development. I can understand being bad at estimating time, I am too, I was just hoping for a ballpark estimate. Thank you for your time.
I really hope this game gets finished and posted. I've been following it for a few years and have played at least two demos. If I were a rich man I'd be tempted to throw you a few rolls of cash to help. But I am not, sadly.
Glad to hear from you Regless. It's good to know you will be going from game to game instead of focusing on just a single game (Sounds odd when I say that, I haven't played your new game so I don't know if it will hype me like BoneHead did). Hopefully we will see some content from you at the end of this year, if not no worries.
I'm guessing the proof of concept will be day to day life with some missions and quests for different characters? So pretty much the home, school and town, Along with mission areas still need to be done?
I would like to suggest that maybe you should do monthly updates? I thought you was gone for a while but then I thought nah as your not a quitter. (Last time we saw you was February) Alot of us are clearly interested in what your doing with the game and so on so it would be great if you could.
The concept will be kinda like the tutorial. I'm hoping to have a cross-section of everything in the game that I can think up so I don't have to build any new systems. it'll just by graphical and writing left mostly. And your right about what's left to be done although three of those are massive and will have to be built incrementally.
Eh. I worry about the slow months when I got nothing to show for it. Doesn't really feels right to pop in and say nothing of significance has changed, I'm still working on the same thing I was last time.
Honestly even when you have nothing to show for it, I for one appreciate "I'm not dead" posts. Right now we're at a point where I only just saw this because I basically never look at your blog because chances are there will be no indication you're even still alive.
Is this a new game?

I really need to spell check my comments.

As always goodluck!
I'm optimistic you'll like the new game.
