Updates 04/25


Hello there!

It's been ten days since the last update when I fixed a lot of messed up stuff, and now the game has been downloaded more than 100 times!!!
Seems like nothing but it is a great achievement for me!

Anyways, I wanted to talk a little about how the game is proceeding:
mainly, I've been working in making from zero all the art style, more suitable and easy to make for me. I have also updated the GUI during battles, adding something more animated. The enemies now reflect more the characteristics of the levels in which they appear, as you can guess by the screenshots!  
If everything goes well, I'll be releasing around the end of May a new version of the game, which will not be compatible with the current version, so previous saved files won't be compatible (if you decide to start from one of those the game will start and work unproperly). This is mainly due to the change in art style and new mechanics that will added to the game. Following, the principal changes in the next version, which will be named as "1.0":

  • Different GUI in battle, with animated battlers and also some animations for certain special attacks (I said animation but it's really a "2D png with some movement, I'd like to do better but that's how far I can get by myself)
  • The crystals that heal the party will only be usable ONCE, making the game a little more difficult (specially if you start with certain characters)
  • The game will feature all the EN girls to start the game, which will change mainly some of the conversations and, specially, the difficulty in the first levels (from the easiest to the hardest to start the game with, that would be Calli, Ina, Kiara, Ame and Gura)
  • There will be a game's "bestiary" called "Detective Files", which will register enemies, items and allies information as soon as they are meet (accessible from the start if you chose Ame, otherwise accessible later in the game, though all previous information will be recorded nonetheless)
  • New abilities and some others fixed/changed, in order to balance better the game and reflect better the current relationship between the girls and their corresponding fandom/memes
  • The story will continue from when it stopped, and will contain 6 more levels (or 12 more if I'm able to get everything tested and ready for my intended release period
  • In comparison to the Demo version, changing the leader character (the one you begin with) will not be possible. Or to be more precise, it will be available again but in a further release.   This was the intention for story purposes from the beginning, but available in the Demo version to showcase the game a little more
  • More accurate Chara Design (currently using those available in RPG Maker for free in a way to have the looks of the girls). To me, the hardest part and the main reason I'll have to delay the update release is anything wrong happens,  due to lack of experience making thos
  • Episodic Releases, which basically means making the game in the style of the current FF VII, but rest assure, the game will be always for free!

I think that's all for now, sorry if the post was too long.
Once again , thank you for playing and look forward for further updates!
Knowing that people had fun with my little game really makes me happy!
