| Crop for a new CG |
So it's been...a little bit of time
since I posted anything here. I
have been posting more frequent progress updates on the Discord
server. But I know a lot of people don't like using Discord in
general. And besides that, my server's...special,
anyway. Blogspot at this point does feel pretty outdated, and I never
really was a huge fan of it to begin with, but that's really no
excuse. I kept telling myself I'd just make another Blogspot post
when the update was done and then I could surprise everyone, but it's
just not worth it. So I'll just talk about what's happening right
now.
I had
a longer post planned going into a little more detail about why it's
taken so long. But honestly, I don't think anyone's interested in
reading about that. Another time, maybe. But not now. Instead I'll
just say, I'm still working on the final update to Part 3, and
obviously it's a big one. Here are some of the things you can expect
from it.
The Monsterpedia. I've fixed up
pretty much all the issues with it. Request scenes work again (for
NG+ monsters, original monsters will be fixed too), I rewrote a lot
of the code to work better in general. I also fixed a bunch of bugs
and oversights with both the Monsterpedia and the Records page. Did
you know losing to Granberia by getting beaten to a pulp in the original game counted as an
orgasm according to the records page? I'm not even kidding.
H-scenes. There's a lot of them.
There are scenes – literally dozens of them probably – that I've
left unfinished for the longest time, or finished them and just
never managed to implement them. I'm working on getting those added
back in, as well. New CG, too.
Camp scenes. Basically the same as
above. More of those, too.
Party members. There are a few
more I plan to add in the next update, including a couple secret
ones. Ipeia and Nibi are returning too, don't worry.
New areas. This is more Part 4
stuff than Part 3, but I do have a few new and unexplored areas
planned, and new monsters to go with them. These will probably be in
smaller subsequent updates (that hopefully won't take two fucking
years to finish)
In other words, the last Part 3 update
is probably going to be the biggest one so far, by quite a bit. It's
still going to take some time to finish. I have to draw a bunch of
CGs, code fights, write h-scenes, test everything to make sure it
works, etc. But once it's ready, hopefully it'll have been worth
waiting so long for. And hopefully the next updates won't take such
an excruciatingly long time.
It's obvious I was waaaaaaaaaaay
too ambitious with my plans when I started working on NG+. I
basically wanted to make a game that was as big if not way bigger
than the original game...as a high school kid with zero programming
experience, writing experience, art experience, etc. Yeah, there was
no way that was ever going to work. The only reason it wasn't
completely canceled 7 years ago is because apparently, I'm the most
stubborn moron that ever lived.
And on that note, I'm still going ahead
with the original plan. Nothing's changed with that. Still six parts,
still an absurd amount of content. I've gone too far with it to go
back on it now, so I'm just gonna keep working on it when I can.
TL;DR FINAL PART 3 UPDATE SOON PLEASE
BE PATIENT.
