Suddenly, Boobs.
🕑 Added 2015-03-09 00:11:37 +0000 UTC Hey guys! First things first: I just made a post on Tumblr (eromancergames.tumblr.com) with new screenshots of the map scene and sprites (utilizing the fancy dynamic shadow thingy I just scripted). Secondly, I wanted to let you in on the details of what I've been working on for the release, as well as what's left. Some of the things I've accomplished since the last news update include: - Scripted story H scenes - Added additional artwork for said scenes - LOTS of improvements to the tileset artwork - Improved map layout to better handle the new sprites - Hardcoded keys for custom input instead of using RPG Maker's incredibly slow event system (was a bit of a pain, but resulted in a significant FPS boost) - Added key for swapping lead character on the map - Added key for toggling weather on/off (people with slow computers will thank me) - Added various events - Customized a shadow script to allow for dynamically sized shadows for character and event sprites - Added some tutorial tip kinda things - Various bug fixes - Added a game over screen - Added "ending" screens - Sent the game to TK for some preliminary testing, profited - Finalized prints and ordered some test prints for the $35 tier reward. More importantly, what's remaining to be done: - Still some events to be added - Some dialog to be added - Add tutorial battle messages - Add some status icons - A couple of interface fixes - Battle balancing - Testing and fixing any critical bugs found - Clean out the project folders and package it up Aaand I think that's it. Thanks for being super patient by the way. It won't be perfect, but I want your first impression of the game to be a good one and not one where you feel like you're wading through a buggy mess. Subsequent updates will definitely be more frequent. Anyways, I'll post back in a few days with details on the release once we've gotten a chance to test some more! Until then!

Awsome to read that there will be the option to turn things like Portraits or Weather effects off,it will really help folks with lower end computers being able to fully enjoy the game. Always impressed with how much work ya'll are doing constantly & with how much you do keep folks up to date on things. Looking forward to the first release and everything to follow. I'm one who'd rather a release take longer and arrive in a much better state than have things rushed out and released in terrible states. Like so very many triple A games nowadays cough Inquisiton cough cough.
Hi. Progress looks really good, and I can't wait to try the first release. Debated a little with myself whether to bring this up or not, as it can be difficult to get a good feel for this from just the screenshots, but here goes: I just noticed what I presume is the the girls' "idle" stance in the map sprites, and I can't help but think they look like little girls who very much have to pee :)
Constant progress updates keep this patreon happy :) Keep it up, looking absolutely amazing.

I don't mind waiting a while as long as we're getting updates like this every month or so. I love how much you keep us in the loop. Looking forward to the release! :D

I'm one of those people that don't mind the time it takes as long as I'm kept in the loop so no worries. You've been extremely busy! You're making some really good progress. Thanks for the update!
