August Monthly Update
Added 2018-08-02 22:05:19 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It's a new month, and I'm thinking this month is going to be a good one. I've had a release in August every year (granted, they've never been what I wanted), and I'd like to keep that little streak going. I won't be giving any dates, but if you peruse over to Trello, I'm down to just 7 cards! Nobody is more excited than me about that.
So, where are we at? Well, I believe the foundation is good-to-go in MV. Meaning, I've gotten the main scripts in place, I've gotten the main art assets in place, I can run around in the MV game and play through the introduction, I've gotten the artwork upscaled, and I'm at a point where I'm adding back in content to a function game that I can test as I add it. The process was not so terrible, but it was a bit more time consuming than I thought back in June. When I had a script transfer over all the events and maps, I thought that would be 75% of it, but that wasn't quite right. MV was a different enough beast that it took some fiddling with scripts and some decisions (especially on tileset size and sprites)--for the record, I'm sticking with VX Ace size of 32x32 instead of the MV default of 48x48. I'll get input from people in the next release, and I can upscale it if people find it too small with the new resolution, but working in 32x32 looks better to me.
At this point, I'm working on the initial portion of chapter 1 that was kind of included in 0.11. There was a lot wrong with it, and I've made a few changes as well. For example, I altered Lida's quest to be more explanatory as to what is expected and to reduce the "fetch" aspect of it a bit. Fetch quests have their place (should be a VERY minimal place), but I want to hold myself to a bit of a higher standard. I've made the lake area much easier to figure out what's going on, and I changed Aylia's reaction to the bandits (it was out of character). It all looks downright wonderful in the higher resolution (I settled on 1152x648).
I think that covers it. Remember, you can always see what I'm working on here: https://trello.com/b/JUvqGocH/aylias-story-015, as well as what is remaining for the next release. This is not a guesstimation percentage, but each set of tasks listed on cards. Don't hesitate to ask any questions below, and I'll do my best to answer them. August is going to be fun!
Thank you for your patronage!

It would be nice to see you still working on this Game, so far it Sounds good and Promising, but you see it´s quiet hard to tell if you still working or if you have abandon all of this when you have given no new Info since Aug 2018.

2018-12-03 08:39:22 +0000 UTCI would guestimate a release in two to four months if lucky. Not lucky would be six two nine months. I would hope to be lucky but either way I am not complaining. Keep up the great work and happy.... I don't know pick something.

2018-11-17 07:45:56 +0000 UTCDoes any one know hows it going? the trello hasent moved for a few weeks now.
2018-11-10 10:06:20 +0000 UTCYea keep up the good work indeed :D
2018-11-01 17:07:24 +0000 UTCNope. Events and Quests are done as per today, just one more scene to test (Tian 4) and the Achievements and Monsters to convert to their MV equivalents and then... dare i say we might even see a release of 0.15 this month at the current pace? Check the Trello link, see for yourself ;)
2018-10-01 16:48:20 +0000 UTCDEAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!?!?!?!?!?

2018-10-01 00:53:50 +0000 UTCI will say in the time I have "supported" YT, I have never been charged, and it has been for at least a year and a half, if not two years. If there was a scam going on, then it is a strange one, because I have yet to give a dime of money to YT. I monitor my finances pretty heavily, so if money is being taken out, it is a very small amount. But, once again, I have not seen any transactions that I cannot account for in the whole time I have supported him. I just think the guy bit off a lot more than he can chew and is slowly, but surely trying to create something special, with many personal hiccups and pitfalls.

2018-09-19 03:36:53 +0000 UTCInteresting news. For 2 years you've been developing sprite game with the budget from 2000-7000 dollars a month, and still you haven't done even beta release version (which is above 95% of the project done). being a 3D designer in gaming industry for 2 years (and a computer game developer), I smell something fishy about all of this. Can you send me the link to your updates? (I mean the exe file for the latest game alpha release)

2018-09-10 09:22:05 +0000 UTCYes, that was an example of one night idea. The others will primarily be at Voran's tavern and will involve Aylia becoming accustomed to the town.

2018-09-01 09:08:45 +0000 UTCand a tip, put the trello page in the header of your patreon page, it would help a lot to not have to look for it in the post

2018-08-31 18:09:34 +0000 UTCthe nights events is similar to the first with aylia? Hentai touch with fun conversation but with the other girls? if so, bogwort knows how to use the night and alcohol in his favor :)

2018-08-31 18:08:09 +0000 UTCNoted, I will look into it.

2018-08-06 19:55:37 +0000 UTCYummi, if you're switching to MV I beg you to eliminate the clicking sound of appearing on a new map.

2018-08-04 13:01:58 +0000 UTCNow when we pester you we can do it just for the sheer pleasure of it.

2018-08-04 09:42:09 +0000 UTCMoving your progress chart to Trello was a good move, its great transparency and allows us to see how you're doing without having to directly pester you about it. I can also tell it's helped you put everything into order. Keep it up!
2018-08-03 09:50:00 +0000 UTCGreat news, thanks for the update :)

2018-08-03 09:30:19 +0000 UTCI don't think anyone would bet for a release at this point :-P. I'm just out to prove Dumai's 6 month prediction wrong! You hear that, Dumai!

2018-08-02 22:41:47 +0000 UTCWho wants to bet early Sept release? I'd say end of August but you never know what glitches may happen :)
