Radiance

[Janne]

Damn I hate that kind of acting...Luckily my mum isn't acting like that^^

[Dragonium]

Okay, good news, bad news time.

Bad news first. I hope I can persuade my mum to let me have more time, to work on my game. Anyways, I just realised the cutscene before the first boss makes no sense whatsoever, and it sucks, badly. So it needs a lot of work. Which will take some time.

Good news next. I only have to implement a few systems, like the blacksmith and finish the party change (I may add a few more characters, but not yet), then I just need to finish the cutscene where Radian finds out what he must do. And then, it's DEMO TIME!

Watch this space, not long now.

I'm currently doing some work on my database. All the storyline is getting me down.

Demo soon, stop panicking.

Entertain yourselves with a picture of Arlan.

Have a nice day.

Okay, mum has said I don't have a limit any more, it was just to show me how long I actually spend on the computer. She has a point . But it's all in the name of finishing the game. I don't mind ruining my health as much.

Anyways, updates:

Began editing first-boss cutscene. Now involves a small girl, the first boss is gonna be either a Giant Wolf (Still) or a Giant Wasp. You decide which one, so post your choices.

Started work on blacksmith system. You don't buy weapons, you upgrade them. You can also pay the smith to put extra items in that you have. For example, take Sain's shortsword, and upgrade it with an Ice Shard, to get an Icicle Sword. Blah blah blah.

Nearly finished party change system. Only needs a little more work now.

Added new character.


Name: Nika.
Age: 15.
Weapon: Oversized Boomerang.
Bio: Nika is a boy living on the Central Plains of the Dana Archipelago (That's what the world's called). At a young age, he was abandoned by his parents after they were attacked by beasts when travelling through the plains. These beasts later came to protect Nika, as if they knew that he was their master. He later crafted his large boomerang, and he can also summon in battle. Whether he really understands what happened to his parents, or the task he is trying to accomplish is not known.
Note: Nika also doesn't speak much english. May the Gau-esque moments ensue.

wolf,they are much cooler

Holy cow, off the first page.

Anyways, I've been working on a short project to try and make a basic CBS. I may add that into my game, or I may try it with another, after Radiance is done.

By the way, I changed Radian's attack animation to a battle animation I made. It now has 20 frames, not 3.

[Moosetroop11]

I agree, wolves. Defending a girl from wasps would remind me too much of FF8.

Nika is a boy

That's a boy?!

Anyway, radiance is probably one of my favorite words in the english language, so you better make this a good game.

Really now? I'm quite partial to "juxtaposed".

[Dragonium]

"Pilfer" is better...

And Sai, I see your point. I'll change it.

[Dragonium]

Okay, here's the part where I endlessly complement myself. First, I have succeeded in lengthening the first dungeon. After killing the boss, you have to find the little girl's Doll and Bag (Which she manages to drop in weird places), and then there's another short, trap-filled, monster-infested dungeon underneath the boss' cave.

My CBS didn't work out, so I'm staying with the DBS. However, I just realised how nice my attack animation looks. So that's a plus point.

Expect the demo version end of May. I'd just like a little help - how long should a demo be? I could do with knowing.

*Ego-trip over*

By the way, the Nika thing is staying as is for now. I saw somewhere that in RPGs, the differences between boys and girls are very slight, so I just remembered. And anyway, all of my facesets have that sort of style to them.

Another by the way: I fixed the odd-looking battlechar problem. Realised last night that the background of the battlechar was white, and the battlechar had white in it. Bug fixed.

Wow, that was a pretty big update.

[Syntax]

This is interesting. Keep it up.

[Dragonium]

Just this minute finished coding the Rock Paper Scissors style minigame I was working on. I'll test the game in a minute.

I would show some concept sketches I drew, but my scanner is being stupid.

The enchanted forest (I mean the actual forest part, not the underground bit) is nearly done. I just need to think of a good place to hide a bag... *Rubs hands together, evil laugh*

Here's some screens.



Sword beats Axe. Therefore, I lose. Aaww, nuts.



Hmph. I will beat you next time.

Hold on a second... I can't beat my own freaking minigame



That's more like it, bandana-head.

Frrr... That's a few screenies of my first minigame.

[Moosetroop11]

Lookin' good

[Janne]

Looking good, yes.
