Wahoo! I'm glad the demo's coming along. Whats a good game without it delays, eh?

Winged · January 21, 2007, 05:22:22 AM

Yay! Bahamut! My fav dragon! Anyway, I'd just like to say, I'm looking forward to this, no matter how long I wait, I'll still be a loyal demo player to you.

I have to be honest, some of the delays are due to me being paranoid about the demo.

You guys are all excited and I dont want to dissapoint! But I think I have just about every bug worked out.

Embarassing story: I made a gamedisk, then realized that I set the start location at the END of the demo. $:-\$

At any rate, it should be ok. I'll make the official gamedisk after I get back from MEPS tomarrow and upload it this week.

I promise, no more delays unless I die. (Which would suck for all.)

If you die, and I will kill myself and haunt your spirit.

Anyway, can't wait. Still.

Ok mates. No more delays. I WILL have the demo uploaded for you this weekend. Nearly a month late....but whatever lol.

Now, I promise no more delays, so now I want a quick survey.

What are you expecting to see in this game. What are you expectations and hopes? What features are you looking for and what do you look for in a game?

nevfx · January 23, 2007, 07:45:14 PM

I'm just expecting a cool game, with a good plot, ect.

Darico · January 23, 2007, 07:47:22 PM

I think something that is gripping, fun and challanging at once. Or maybe I expect to much? lol

Alerith · January 29, 2007, 02:31:04 PM

Thanks for your patience. I will begin uploading the demo in a couple of hours during my free period.

Assuming the firewall doesn't counteract my hack, it should be up my 3:00 today.

Megaupload isnt working. Is there any other way?

For God's sake, don't use the super-slow filefront!

Okay. I will have the file uploaded tonight! TONIGHT I SAY! Come hell or high water! Im in Computer class right now, and our internet/systems SUCK. It can barely run any RMXP games. I managed to get a couple of screenshots before it crashed so here you go. (Note that by a couple, I mean 2)

Alerith · January 31, 2007, 05:59:49 PM

Also keep in mind. 95% of the defualt resources will be changed in the final version. So don't worry about the current lack of individualism or whatever. Just enjoy. (Tonight!)

Darico · February 01, 2007, 07:27:55 AM

no demo yet?

Winged · February 02, 2007, 01:01:55 AM

What the blue mage says is a bit...cheesy? I dunno, but I don't mind as long as battling isn't a drag. As for the mapping, it looks a it flat and plain, try stuff like rocks and holes in the first and plants and dead grass in the second.

:) · February 02, 2007, 01:03:36 AM

mapping could be a tad bit better. other then that I like the rest.

nevfx · February 03, 2007, 07:47:41 AM

I can't wait for the demo, as you probably know.

Nouman and Winged are right, but my mappings, er, not very good(although its getting better), so I can't really critise.

Alerith · February 08, 2007, 04:01:11 PM

Hey everyone. I've been snowed in and had no internet so sorry I've been MIA.

Mapping - Im doing some adjusting. I have this problem with making everything symetrical but im trying to correct that. I used to use RM2K3 and I had the exact same problem. All mountains were perfectly symetrical and all the cities had equal buildings on each side. But it will be fixed. Im slowly getting the hang of it. Just habit you know?

Battles - I guaruntee that none of these should be drawn out. Most boss fights are modified so that, even though they are longer than regular fights, they have special events in them to keep it interesting. But if your taking more than 7 minutes on the boss fights, then either your not strong enough or there is a glitch because I made sure that the regular fights shouldnt take more than 3 minutes and the boss fights more than 7.

About what the Blue Mage saying being cheesy...well...yea I guess. To be honest, that whole Blue Mage / Dragon scene was a last minute addition to the demo, so I have time to correct it. Just a simple opening.
