Hello,
August is in the bag and it's time for an update on things. The Zalran Church and Bridge maps were updated for MV. Additionally, the chapter 1 map updates for North Road, South Road and Zalran Lake were started. I've begun upscaling and inputting chapter 1 artwork.
System-wise, I'm still hashing out menus. The equipment menu...

July is in the books, and you guys deserve a status update. There's some good news and some bad.
Progress was made this month, all the Zalran interior maps were finalized, events added and updated to the Mayor's house, Voran's bar, etc. Mapping is almost done for Zalran church which will bring all the mapping up to C...
Hello everyone,
Figured I'd post a quick update on things:
- First MV Patreon release and pledge is in the books. I should have enough from this pledge to commission the remaining system work needed for Aylia's Story. I'm starting that process this week.
- The release download link was updated yesterday to address a number of...
Hello everyone,
The 0.10MV release is in final playtesting and will be posted shortly. You will find links to both the PC and Mac releases below. These links will be posted either tonight or tomorrow night at the latest, depending on how final playtesting goes. Please take a moment to read below.
One last note: I st...
Let's try this again, shall we? MV 0.10 will be dropping soon, and it will be a paid update. Given that people will actually be contributing to the project, I wanted to give you an idea of where things are heading from here. This is the current plan for the summer. MV 0.15 and MV 0.20 each represent enough work and content to warrant paid update...

Hello everyone,
Well, damn. I was getting things in order yesterday, going through Patreon tiers to make sure everything was appropriate, as once a charge is ran those are basically locked in. I then realized that pledge charges only go through at the start of the month--which I knew, not sure what I was thinking. So, now I'm left with a d...

Hello, we're nearing the end of March. I'll be putting out a pledged update this week. The pledge will apply to the March and April updates. I'll be using the pledged money to commission and finalize the remaining components of the battle system. This release will contain the 0.10 content, and the April release will contain a working battle syst...
2022-03-29 14:58:14 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick update. No release quite yet. I had an opportunity this week to work with someone on the combat UI and took it. I thought I could do both, but I didn't end up putting enough time into the game after work hours (damn you Elden Ring). So, the release is not quite ready, but I think we got the combat UI in place. One important step tow...

Hello everyone,
The first MV release (0.10) is extremely close to being ready to go. I know I said that I'd release a monthly update, but it seems very silly to release a partial update a few days before an actual release. I'm aiming to get the first MV release out the door this Friday, if it is still not ready, I'll go ahead and upload a ...

Hello again,
February is half gone. I've been churning ahead and figured I'd give a quick status update since it's been about 2 weeks since the January update.
Things in place for the February update:
- All three Zalran main maps updated and events moved over (Yay!)
- All Zalran interiors working, but only Lida's sh...

This is the beginning of monthly updates. January's update is NOT a pledged release.
Here is the link to the January update. You MUST copy paste this manually, as the decryption key screws up the hyperlink:

Hello everyone,
I've been a bit silent this month, but wanted to give everyone quick update on things as we near the end of the month. I didn't say anything earlier, but my plan is to start monthly releases. Some months will have enough content to warrant a charge, some won't. I will clearly specify if it is a charged release.
There...
I feel like fate is speaking. Or perhaps screaming.

Alright, I promised a proper update. The game is playable through where I want the next release to be. I've been doing legitimate map updates to get them to MV tilesets and I believe they look pretty darn nice for RPG Maker. For maps, I still need to finish up the updated version of Zalran's bridge and Zalran fields (including interiors).
Hello, wanted to make a quick post on things. I took on a contract a few weeks back and that ended up eating away at most of my working time. Unfortunately, since I still have not gotten to a point where I feel comfortable running a charged release, I may have to take these opportunities if they come along. I finished up my obligations this week...

Hello everyone!
Still churning along. Thought I'd give you all a little update. Still polishing things up and getting the MV systems screens in place. I'm spending about 3-4 days per week getting everything that was in the prologue polished and looking good. I'm spending the rest of the time working on new stuff (Yay!). I'm hopeful that O...

2021-10-06 16:37:16 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. I've been busy updating and polishing things for the first real MV release. During that last alpha, it was brought to my attention that I can update the MV system itself to improve performance and stability in MV. I've done that, and while the game is running fine for me, I'd like to expand the testing group a bit.
For tho...
Hello everyone,
Just popping in to say that things are moving right along. There have been a bunch of updates that should pleasantly surprise people when they play the next update. I spent a few days last week finally digging into the battle system. I've got a working base in place and have been slowly updating the UI (which should be WAY ...
2021-09-20 21:20:28 +0000 UTC View PostWhelp, I'm tired. I'm uploading where the game is. You can get further than before, and the placeholder is now gone, but it's still not the full prologue. My guess is you will crash in either the 2nd hills area or the crossroads before town. Like the last one, this is more meant for seeing progress and testing to help me find crashes. Eventually...
2021-09-04 08:51:24 +0000 UTC View PostQuick thank you to everyone who has tested the game and reported issues. Everything reported has been fixed. I also found a number of events that were not firing because they got changed to be "under the player" for some reason (most were in the main mine area around the anvil, etc.). I must have copied an event incorrectly. In VX Ace, I'd used ...

In a turn of events that should surprise no one, I've got a few more things to do. So, I'm releasing a short teaser of the mines. You can see some of the higher resolution standing portraits, how things are looking in MV, and a few of the updated CGs. I will update this to what should be the full MV 0.10 release Tuesday (See, it'll still be this...

Hello everyone!
I'm excited to say the first MV release is fully playable through the prologue. It features new artwork, new music, updated maps, and events. There are a few placeholders and some scripts that are not finished, but it is releasable as-is. So, I can say with certainty there will be a release this month. The plan is to releas...

Still here, still making progress. Enjoy another teaser of the new MV artwork. I left her potato sack layer invisible, because well... it's fun!
Some positive news, I'm going to be working fully on Aylia's Story starting early August for the remainder of the month. I've put in a lot of work in July to make this happen. I always said if...

Figured I'd upload some artwork while you wait. Just a few of the updated portraits (the second one is the old version). It wasn't on the Trello list, but I added the "irritated" version today. I just love that expression, and Aylia really needs it if she's going to travel with Bogwort :-)
I will be working more on the game this week. Jus...
July 11th... Good Lord.
8 tasks left on Trello. Just wanted to poke Patreon to let people know I'm working. Haven't had much time to progress the last week, but I will have time to work this week. Every fiber of my being just wants to get this done, out the door and the project moving forward. It's a matter of carving out time to do it. M...
I've updated the Trello page with the 14 tasks left to complete. The Trello page is something I really want to restart correctly for future releases. It's in kind of a half-done stage, but I figured it might be worthwhile to put together a quick list of what's on my plate.
I will be working on the game for a few hours Sunday, and I have b...
Hello again,
Sorry for the week of silence. I was waiting until I knew my schedule and could tell you I was working on the game again. Unfortunately, the work I'd put in the game over the past month started catching up with me a bit. I had to step back from the game and put some serious time into my day job (boring, I know). I finished th...
