Carpe Diem: The Living Flame (Demo Re-released)

[Moosetroop11]

Nice to see you still working away at this game. I'd be interested to play this next demo.

Dunno if I can promise the time to beta though.

[HobomasterXXX]

I could do it. If the file's around 20 meg or less.

Sorta sipped what every one sayed, expect the main ost of course so this was probly asked but a wile back I dowloaed this game. the demo ended with some old man and the guys and we had to kill 2 of those robot, destroyer things. is this a longer demo or did you just bring it back to life?

[Linkforce]

Damn, how long has it been?  Too long to count.  Haha  Well, from what I can see, Charas still doesn't care much for games.  Lol.  But that's not really gonna stop me because CD is here to stay.  
Although, I have not been working on it very much lately, due to laziness, and no real inspiration.  But, I'm ready to continue again.  So, let me begin by telling/showing what I have been up to for my long absence.


For starters, I've been making events like crazy.  The last demo left you at reaching Kaelor, but never being able to actually explore it.  Well, thats not the case anymore, because the new content lets you run around as you please, and begin another quest to......do......."stuff".  Lol.  Obviously that "stuff" is story related so I won't be spoiling that for you guys.  

To be honest, there isn't too much to update on.  Lol.  I'm working on the game still and the rate at which I'm working on it is increasing.  What's that?  Huh?  A new demo you ask?  Hmm........

Well, a new demo may be available by Mid-March.  It'll include Chapters 1-4 and probably be around like 8 long.  Somewhere around that time, I haven't clocked the game exactly.  
So, this is just to let you guys know that CD is still here, and I'm still working on it as usual.  Don't forget about the latest demo on PG.6.  If you haven't played it yet, please do so and let me know what you think.  

Thanks for still being fans!!!

Sweet, all these games are brought back to life it seems. Sounds great, sounds cool, sounds awesome.... Now finish it.

[Linkforce]

Lol, thanks!  I'm workin' on it!!!

[Drakiyth]

This game looks awesome.  Very good work Linkforce.

[Linkforce]

Hey guys.

I was wondering if anybody would like to make some fan art for my game.  Anything and everything is greatly appreciated.  Thanks to anybody that does.  :)

[Linkforce]

Hey guys!  Yes, I am still alive and still here.  Yes, I am still working on the game.  Yes, I am still sexy.  :p  But yeah, seriously, this game is still alive.  Until I get both my arms chopped off it'll still be alive.  I'm working very hard to get a new demo out soon so start wetting your whistles.....(yeah, it was stupid, I know) because pretty soon you'll sink your teeth into some yummy Carpe Diem.  

  And for whatever reason my first post of my main characters disappeared.......?
Ugh, so give me some time to fix that.  Lol

[Halfling]

1.What does "carpe diem" actually mean?In English, that is?Or is it a phrase you thought up?
I think it's latin though...
2.I played your game from the first demo, and everything is great, but some places really lack quality. It's just hard to play in parts where the background is monotonous and simply BORING. I always go quality>quanity, I hope you'll do that too later on. You'll please the fans later.
3.Is Haru a name of the main character in the film "Beverly Hills' Ninja"?
4. The fights are mostly bad. They're simply not interesting and flat!Spice them up for god's sake.

Overall:7/10.

[Linkforce]

Okay, lol, well.....

1. Carpe Diem is a latin phrase meaning: Seize the Day.
2. Much has been changed since my latest release, so I think you'll find the new version to be a lot more "spiced up" and less "BORING".  Lol
3. It is from that movie but thats not where I got it from.  I just saw it somewhere and liked it.  Plus, it's not pronounced the same way like it is in that movie.  In my game, Haru is pronounced more like "Hey-roo"

[A Forgotten Legend]

Hah, I learned what Carpe Diem meant last year in English.  We had a hole unit on it. =P (haha, Firefox can't spell Carpe on mine. lol.)

Carpe Diem is also the name of a movie I think.  We watched in last year during that unit.

Can't wait!

[Linkforce]

Hellooooo people of Charas!  Well, those who still care about games of course!  Lol
It's been a while, but I'm still here!  And so is Carpe Diem!  You can't get rid of it!  Lol  

Anyways, I have an update for you guys.  I guess you can count it as an "official update" considering I have Screens and a Demo Release Date.
Yes, you read correctly.  A new demo release date.  

The release date of my third demo is currently scheduled for: May. 17th[/I]
Mark your calenders everyone!

As for the update, I've been working on the game a lot recently.  I've also taken the liberty to write down the list of Major Events that will comprise all of Episode 1.  I've also written down what the outcome of each character will be at the end of Episode 1 and what mark I wish to leave.  Basically, all the events are laid out.  Now all I have to do is make them.  
As for now, the progress on Chapter 3 is going smoothly.  A few more events and the Chapter will be finished.  Then I'll begin Chapter 4 and just work on it until the release date.  Then wherever I am I'll stop there and edit it a bit to act as an end for the demo.

Now for all you bastards that won't give a thread the time of day without screens, hahaha, this is for you!  And of course all my loyal fans.   Enjoy!


Screens (Scenes from Chapter 3):









You may notice a certain someone who created problems for Sky and the gang.  

Hope you guys like it!  Make sure you're available on the release date.  Lol
Comments are very much appreciated!  

[Prpl_Mage]

Sweet, gimme' the demo now, damn I want to play this so bad. Loved the first demo, so this will rule.

woot!

C'mon, those screens looks great. But maybe the cave couldve used some tint-screen thingy to make the characters blend in a bit better.

[Moosetroop11]

...did I forget to play the other demos of this? I can't remember playing the game

Maybe I played the first demo. I remember something to do with... something...

Never mind! I'll play this latest one! Looking forward to it.

Nice to see someone else still working on their rpg
