0.3.4 arrives!

 Good afternoon! 0.3.4 is out, and brings with it the Journal! 

This menu keeps track of Brill's progress through the Main Story, as well as any side quests available to her. Not only does this help the player remember where to go next if they forget for some reason (such as, say, because of a ten month wait time between updates... I'll try to go faster next time, sorry about that), it also hints at places that might be interesting to check out. You can get the new update on the Downloads page!

The next update will most likely involve additions to the main story, and potentially fleshing out the World Map (specifically its north and south ends) a bit more.

MENU CHANGES:

-The Journal has been added to the pause menu. Clicking on it the first time in an existing save will also update it with quests the player already completed.

MAP CHANGES:

-A few minor bugs have been fixed.

-Billboards have been added in Evrandel Castle Town and in Highfort; examining these billboards will update Brill's Journal with all the side quests related to world map encounters in Evrandel and Kitaban, respectively.

0.3.4 Preview: The Quest Journal!

 Good afternoon!

Work on 0.3.4 has been slower than usual, but that's mostly due to December being December. But I do have one thing to show off: the Quest Journal!

I found that there was no indication of what to do next, or what happened before, when playing Ruphand again after a long break. The Quest Journal is meant to rectify this.

This will be accessible in 0.3.4. It serves as a way to track Brill's next objective, as well as a rough guide to available Side Quests.

Version 0.3.3 hotfix released! (You'll want to download this one)

Afternoon!

I've just discovered and fixed a bug related to the new recipe introduced in 0.3.3; the NPC would give you the incorrect recipe. I've uploaded a fixed version of 0.3.3, so downloading 0.3.3 again and moving your save should get the recipe right. If you already received the incorrect recipe, you should be able to talk to the NPC again and get the right one.

0.3.4 is still in the works. I'll have a few screenshots here before long!

0.3.3 is here!

Afternoon!

It's been ten months since the last update (sorry about that- there was a lot to deal with, to say the least), but I finally updated the game again. This update advances the main story, with plenty of new treasures to be had and plenty of new enemies to face as Brill sets out in search of the Orb of Wind.

Get the new update on the Downloads page!

Next up, I think I'll add a few quality of life changes- the most important being a Quest Journal, where you can quickly see information on both the main story and side quests.

NEW CONTENT:

-The main story continues. Two new full dungeons (and some other dangerous areas) have been added. Once the Skystep Boots are yours, seek out a place to use them...

0.3.3 Preview: Map Screenshots

EDIT 10/28: I ran into some issues both in real life and in development which slowed me down a lot. Should be past them soon, but I most likely won't have the update out by the end of the month. I'm sorry it's taking so long. I'll be able to focus on 0.3.3 soon.

 

 EDIT 10/1: 0.3.3 is taking longer than expected, but it's still in the works. It should be out relatively soon.

 

Good afternoon!

It's been some time since I posted here. Sorry about that- there were a few obligations I had to deal with, and there was also a bit of a creative block I ran into, likely due to all the mapping and new tileset stuff I needed to do.

I've gotten some important work done on that front, though. Here's some screenshots I took of what I've been working on!

It'll be a long and arduous climb to get to the top of this one. Note the little "mounds" of clouds- they almost look like nests, don't they...

Moss, ivy and shoots poke out of the strange bluish stone, while fresh rainwater flows under a bridge and down a waterfall.

"A forest? In my sky?" It's more likely than you think.

0.3.2 is here!

After way too much time, Update 0.3.2 is finally released! It's available on the Downloads page as usual.

This update will add a new area to the game. Jad's Folly is a large dungeon, big enough to be considered equivalent to three smaller dungeons. It can be unlocked at around the same time the most recent Main Story dungeon opens.

Next up- quite literally up, in this case- is the next main story dungeon...

NEW CONTENT:
-Jad's Folly has been added in Defia. These ancient ruins are initially closed off to the player. But once you've spoken to Kazu in the Silent Clan Village at least once, someone will be waiting to speak with you in the cliffs to the south; talking to her will begin the sidequest that lets you into Jad's Folly.

Graphical Updates:

-Early-game areas through the Barrier Wood and Levitt's Landing have much more detail work done, courtesy of Yanfly's Grid Free Doodads plugin!

Bugfixes:
-A number of smaller bugs have been fixed behind the scenes, such as one that caused Snøfløyen's Frozen Flame attack to ignore Defense.

 

0.3.2 Status Tracker

Good afternoon!

I'm done going over old maps for now- maps through the Barrier Wood Crossroads and Levitt's Landing have been revisited, and will have updated appearances in the next update.

Update 0.3.2 will have a single new side-quest dungeon that's technically three new side-quest dungeons; while exploring these dungeons, Brill will have help from a returning guest character.

As before, I'll be doing a "progress report" that I'll update every Saturday.
