Hi everyone,
I hope you are all well, in my case I am in good health. Here are some news. I have given up the arena fights because they were too difficult to implement, there is a script available but not the way I want it to work. The generation system where you choose your bride has also been abandoned due to constraints and in the end this doesn't add much to the game.
I was also considering adding exploration like a traditional RPG, there is also a script available who work nicely but I gave up on this idea. There are already the two excellent Shining Force games on steam at a ridiculously low price...
A minor thing is the critical animations have been slightly reworked. It felt a little silly that the attackers did the hit animation thrice sometimes, it has been reduced to two (which fit nicely with the double damage output).
The big change coming is the reworked script/story with a writer working on it (Sir Wolfram), he is clearly a better writer than me. It will then be proofread and carefully checked. Depending on my motivation, a french version may also come out later. Finally, once I reach 5000 sales, Steam cards will be added.
Thank you for your support,
David N.
