Art - Magical Battler - Phil

So I made this several months ago.
It became my final design for Phil.

Because sometimes I am a bit too secretive, I decided not to show it with the release of his chapter, to keep as a surprise who he was and what he looked like.

I have this problem where I try to keep so much as a surprise that I fear I end up not sharing enough.

I'm sorry if that becomes frustrating.

Magical Battler - How to transfer and backup saves.

This post is about how to backup, import and transfer saves.
I am making the game in such a way that older saves should always work on newer versions of the game. It cannot be done the other way around.

Due to technical limitations the saves of the public version of the game (hosted on Itch.io) are not available on the Patreon version of the game (hosted on my own site).
This is because the saves are stored in the browser and tied to their respective pages.
The saves however ca...

One from the Vaults - Biff Johnson

This one is old, and not a game per se, and more of a setting that I never got around to use.

A rocket test pilot lost in space, Biff fights the evil Emperor of the galaxy.
Along the way he helps out different leaders from other factions and makes more friends.

Art Post.

This is something I have been drawing over the past week when I need a time out from work and making the game.

The character is Benkey Musashibo from the New Getter Robo series.
I know he might be a tad obscure, but I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to chubby guys riding mechas.

I will post a lower resolution version publicly next week, but I thought it would be nice to show it to you guys before.

Let me know if you'd want me to post art every now and then in here.<...

General updates.

Hello everyone!

Last month was a bit rough for me.
I got moved to a leader position at work (with no extra pay) while being asked to help out in the project I was leaving.
That really carved my time up and made it difficult to advance as much as I wanted on the game.

I think I am getting back on track now (knock on wood).
Here are two new enemies I am working on for the new dungeon.

I'm really sorry about making you all wait so much.


Thank you all f...

Magical Battler experimental backup tool

First of all: this is an EXPERIMENTAL tool and something I hope most people here can just ignore.

What is it for?

The tool is for exporting (and importing) the saves of the Magical Battler game.
This way data can be backed up when moving through different browsers.

How it works: 

For exporting it's easy. You just pick the save slot you want, and it downloads it.
I'd recommend having the game in a different tab to mak...

End of the Month update.

Hello everyone.

Here is an update on what I have been doing:


Magical Battler

I have been trying to release a new chapter of the game every month, but I don't always succeed.

Due to some complications with work my time got suddenly cut short and I notice I wouldn't be able to finish chapter 4, so I decided instead to concentrate on beefing up the content.

I added some extra choices in the training encounters and more mini quests to str...

One from the Vaults - Evil Henchman - Part 1

 This is another game that I started back in 2017.

I worked a lot on this game before I stopped.

Masters of the Universe (He-Man) is one of my favourite toys of all time. 

Which means I'm a sucker for that Sword, Sorcery and Lasers setting. It's a kind of fantasy setting where almost anything can happen... aliens, mutants, different species, wizards, monsters...

I have worked several times on different concepts for this (maybe one day I will ...

New Enemy Poll!

Enemy time!
A mix of old and new designs.

Vote all the ones you like.
Comments on what other things you'd like to see on future polls are always welcome.

My work has been a bit annoying lately, so I'm behind of where I would want to be with the chapter I'm working on, but hopefully I'll manage to get back on track soon.

Hugs and I hope everyone is safe.

One from the Vaults - Animal Cruising

 

This is more of a quick concept rather than an actual game I planned. I drew that sketch because I had this idea of an Animal Crossing spoof game where you get to meet the other villagers in the new town you moved to.

There is no real plan to it. I just thought this could be a fun idea.
This is why I never thought of a story other than cute animal villagers.

One from the Vaults - Space Story

This is a text about an abandoned game, please let me know if you want me to do more of these in the future.

 

 Not every game I start ends up completed.
Some die after a few sketches, others get a lot more done.
This is a game that I abandoned at some point, that I thought would be interesting to show the character designs.

Here is the winner of the latest poll.

Our purple dwarf demon.

This month has been slow on "real life" stuff, so I am doing pretty well with the game progressions.

If I have some time to write about them I will probably do that.


Let me know if you guys would be interested on me blogging about that.

Magical Battler - Enemy poll, the third.

Time to pick a new enemy!
I only added two new enemies (and did the slime again), because most of them got a lot of votes before.

As usual, please vote for all the ones you like.
I'm trying to keep them colorful and varied.

Feel free to comment on what you like/dislike or would like to see more in future enemies.

I hope you all have a great day.

Friendship chart.

 Hello everyone!

I'm trying to be more communicative. I know one of my great faults is that I don't update in here as often as I should.  First of all, the other day I made a chart of all the NPCs and where they can be met. My plan is to keep updating it as the game progresses along. It will also tell you how to raise your friendship (⭐) with them. I should warn you all, this might become a bit spoilery in the future. 2020-08-05 23:46:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello!

First of all I want to thank you for all the support you are giving me. I know these times are uncertain for a lot of people.

Some of the enemies are runner ups from the previous poll, but I added new ones as well.

Still, I don't feel it's enough, so I will be pausing the Patreon for June.

On a more personal note, we are still on full lock down here, and work might actually wind down a bit on the next month (fingers crossed).

I'll probably keep the losing designs in mind for future polls, so it's not like they will be lost forever.
