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).
