Thanks!!

We're actually working on swapping everything over to MV, so the project is in the process of being re-organized.

Oh hey look progress 

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

progress

Looks cute! *o* Always good to see progress! I've been making a little bit of progress on my end, mostly with non-visual stuff (mechanics p much).

Dr.Mc is making some pretty serious progress and tweaking some of the faces...which is a bit of an understatement. There were several characters that we thought looked a little off, especially anatomy-wise. Also a lot of "blank stare" faces. Some characters are getting a complete redraw...which I know we probably shouldn't be doing, but she's doing one heck of a job with them so far. o.o We're also thinking that some of the characters are also going to slightly shift poses with emotions, which will make them look a little less awkward.

Outfits and hair (etc) will still stay the same, so there shouldn't be any changes that would require adjusting the sprites.

That's pretty cool! I likehow you made the armor shinier.
It may be that I'm just used to the old one, but I liked her pose more before. Right now she's kinda stiff looking.

She does look a little stiff yeah. It might be the expression with it, which is actually going to change with the pose whenever i get to it lol.
Heres her more emotional pose.

I forgot to respond to this, but thank you so much for your interest!

I know it's been awhile since we've updated, but the game is still being worked on. We were slowed down a bit from moving the project to MV. I'd like to update the thread soon or create a blog site for this project, but we're still settling on some of the details.

I know hardly anyone is on RMRK anymore, but I just want to update and say that we're still working on this! ;o In fact, we made a full switch to MV and then some. The game has a basic mechanics alpha complete and is in the process of receiving the second half of its mechanics. We've been working even harder than ever on it! We've shifted most of our updates to a private trello and just haven't had the time to post in both places. ;_; Also rmrk is sort of dead. RIP.

After years of going back and forth, the game is more focused than it's ever been. More emphasis on creating the mechanics first, saving the pretty stuff for later. That doesn't mean we don't have a few lovely samples, though!

Here's a few major changes (in a nutshell):

- The game swapped to a blacksmithing sim but has returned to its roots (pun intended) as a farming game. All of the farming mechanics are done (could use some polish) and so are the basic ranching mechanics.
- There are no longer multiple main characters. This was the game's biggest crutch. ;_; Now you can play as either a male or female version of a specified protagonist (just like Harvest Moon).

And here's a few teasers! ;o

- A few new characters are being added, including 1 new romanceable male option! Summer is now able to be romanced, as well.
- 4 of the characters (2 men, 2 women) will be available for same-sex marriage. These characters will be: Lucas, Cassius (new character), Ren, and Summer
- Stuff is looking / behaving better than ever~ We're all getting better at what we do. DrMc and Aco are creating some flawless graphics. I actually know code now (to some extent!), so the game itself functions on a more powerful level than it ever has (more crops, custom menus / systems, etc).

*Note: these are MV-created faces. Only using placeholders for now, will switch to custom graphics later.

Looks awesome!

I'M STILL WORKING ON THIS


AHAHAHAHA


RMRK DIES BUT THIS GAME WILL GO ON FOREVEEER

[yuyu!]

too lazy to redo the thread (rmrk dead anyways), but there's a lot of changes and progress.

So here's a quick and dirty status update for anyone that happens to stumble here:

Alpha (mechanics) - 80%
Beta (visuals / content) - 15% (rough estimate - mostly Aco sprites...go, Aco! )

Core part of the game is nearing completion (there's a lot of mechanics too...yay!). Then it's all polish, prettiness, and content!
