3rd Anniversary News #1 (Public Ver.)
Hey guys, Axl here! I am here with the first news for the 3rd Anniversary Update, and for 0.12 too; this is a really shortened version of the patrons post, so maybe check that out for more insight.
Long story short, I've grown attached to the project way more than I expected since I first started and honestly... that being said, I don't really like the current state of the game, and just trying to correct it by little bits and patches has proven to be useless, so I'll just start "from scratch".
As you already know, I've been mostly remaking art in the regular updates and I even overhauled the game's code one time... turns out, that is nowhere near enough, I still feel like the gap between is to wide to not do anything about it.
So, what I decided to do is just remake the whole game in RPGM MZ, almost from scratch; of course, the plot, characters and core mechanics will still be the same. As for redrawing, most of the art that hasn't been remade already will be; of course, I'm adding a lot more art, specially to the story events, since there is where I feel that is more lacking.}
I'll mainly be posting news and info about the big update, most of the pics included will be for paid patrons only but I'll make sure to give a little bit to the free members too!
Anyways, I don't think my plans have changed that much from when I wrote THIS post, so maybe check it out if you don't want to wait until next news, or maybe go HERE if you're interested in the full post.

Do what you need to, but don't stress yourself out with idealism. Make sure not to burn yourself out, ok?
Yeah, I'm taking it really easy, also taking care of my own mental!
Nice! Glad to hear! While I've got your attention, do you have any recs on how to farm control points? I can't seem to get enough no matter how hard I try, I think I'm going about it wrong lol.
Sessions, those are the ones that give the most :thumbsup:
Careful not to pursue perfection.
Perfection is the enemy of finished.
Actually I talked a bit about it in the longer version; rather than perfection is that most of the old art doesn't stand up well compared to the new/recent art.
YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i really hope that it doesnt end up like a lot of MC porn game restarts and rebuilds,ive seen sooooo many games like that die in the remake process
Well, that's reassuring lmao
I'll try not to end like that
I also hope that this doesnt happen. A lot of them are getting demotivated by the big workload, so its smart to do this early game develpoment. I recommend you to do build a projectmanagement to organize your work.If you dont know how exactly google for the waterfall modell projectmanagement. Its one of the basic modells
I second this, as you already have a game built just try remaking what you already have to start with added ways for you to expand off later.
This is coming from someone who has burned themselves out on plenty of game concepts and never gotten far but this is to well done to die out.
Well, thing is, a lot of the stuff I have right now is just not usable (either because of quality or incompatibility), so I'd rather just wipe those pieces of code and start anew.
Thanks, I'm glad to see you like the game that much; don't worry, as for now, I've been working on it for a year or so, and I take it really easy so yeah, burn out has never been a problem.
Well, not sure if I've mentioned here but I've been working on it for a year or so while working on regular updates, so a lot has been done. I'm taking it easy and will delay it if necessary.
As for now, I feel around the same as with normal updates, not real change so far.
