[venat]

Added more Ability Slots for more Skills. Total Abilities a sackbot can hold in its menu is now 18.
10 Slots increased... Alot... I have space now to give each Job more Abilities and Spells as players level up. Right now just focusing on releasing 1 Region and 1 Job.

Weapon Bag & Level Saver & Level Giver





Will appear in near every level. Crystal is for Levels and Bag for your equipment.

New Samuarai Ability

Tachi: Thunder



Exp Chain System giving me some bugs but its near done.

Level Up Stats from lv1~10 are complete for all 4 sackbots.

NEW!!!

Extra Ability Slots

Old:



New:



Ton more slot options for me to add more skills in. Mainly role and damage based actions more aimed for leveling from lv1~99. Main goal is to launch 1 Region and 1 Job and 1 City. I think it will be Bastok, then Windurst then Sandoria in that order cus of the complex of the sackbots and the currect progress of citys/areas and enemies.

[venat]

Testing of Item bag are still ongoing but progress is going good.
I have glitches with Selecting new Weapons and Messages when choosing New Items.

Chain Exp Logic still ongoing but having some logic bugs with that also and ways to program it so it doesn't mess up.

Have Created a method in which players will need to seek Enemies in there above there own level range. You lose 50pts if your 5 levels ahead of the enemy. You gain no points if your 10 levels above.

lv5 Weapon stats have been made. There is Point/Level requirements when unlocking weapons to use.

So far have lv1/lv5 Weapon Logic done but I am going to have to add in logic in some of it cus they need to support the lv10+ Weapon Skills I am adding in.

Will be removing Logic for Upper Menu Support because its pretty useless and the new Menu System is more down then before. Will be removing this logic as soon as all Sackbots are completed. It also was sorta buggy and will open up more memory space in doing so.

Have gotten large amount of feedback on...

"Older Quest Item Display"
"Quests"
"Battle System"

I have completed Bastok in every way but also will need to redo it for Quests and Objects (Like Trees) and Quests/Cutscenes and Storyline and Item Display during Quests.

Bastok Makeover will be quite a large task but hopefully will be completed in the roads ahead. Will be trying to Emite Less Complex Item Display and try to add in better cutscenes. (SEEKING HELP)

[venat]

Creation of outside areas are ongoing and at even rates.
Creation of some future stuff has been done. Trees, Logic etc.
Logic for Grand Companies Menu's have been completed but syncing it in is still ongoing.
Tweeks of Weapon Movements have been done. Bugs have been fixed.
I have been getting info about my Sackbot Logic. I am going to have to redo some of my Logic but not right now. The new Logic will let me have 2~3 players of the same Job.
Exp Chains are near completed and been redone due to bugs.
Textures have been created to suit many levels.

Looks like I'm going to have to push release date near end of March or sooner.

Currect Update on what Im doing

Level Designs and debugging Logic Main and Creating Enemies. I finished debuging alot of Logic for Equipment Select. I Will be doing Level Up Stickers & Debugging for Level Giver.
Exp Skillchains I just finished & I lowered the Chain rewards cus players were leveling way to fast. Also theres a Question on how tough I want this game to be... which is still ongoing.

[venat]

Got myself a Playstation Vita.



Littlebigplanet Vita will support my game.

(Will there be Vita Levels?) Nope. all game content will be done on PS3 with LBP2. However the Vita will support the Huge Link of Levels.

Cant add more then 1 account to a Vita & also that would make it so I cant save more then 20 Levels on Community Planet.

This will give me extra time to create logic and create basic Levels which then be converted over into LBP2.

Vita Controls tools/logic that come with LBP Vita only will not be included in my levels. Whatever PS3 has Vita will also use.

[venat]

Been getting side tracked right now with other games but I will contune with this project when these games are done with.

Im also considering in adding the follow to my game.
Magic Casting and Combo Link Magic actions.
Click on Fire... (Starts Casting spell) Once Counter at Max: Emite Fire
(Will be Removing Auto-Attack from Blackmage & Whitemage) There Weapons will boost there Magic Attacks and give them MP Boost)
Also considering delaying release again and holding back the game a bit until I think its ready. Theres still alot of Testing and creation to do.
Plans to revamp Magic for Combos and Spell Casting and tweek illnesses and revamp the Logic inside the sackbots to make them somewhat wireless.

When unlocking a new spell you also aloud to combo the next tier. When using a Combo it will not Cost MP.
Tier1 Fire- Combo Trigger! Flame Spells will glow, Click again= Fira!

You can only unlock a Combo spell if you reached a level where you get next tier of that Element.
Fire lv10, Fira lv20

Chances of Combos
Combos is totally random but its pretty much 50% at every Spell but tier7. Its 1/2 of tier1, 1/2 tier2, tier3 1/2, tier4 1/2, tier5 1/2, tier6 1/2, tier7 1/1
Toget to tier7 its 1/7 chance everytime you cast a Spell.

Blackmages will be casting Spells very often now and will become a favorite Job to play for most people.

I have to add some kinda MP cost...
tier1 Spells will cost 1/4 of the MP. Only MP Cost will be on Tier1 Spells.

Player Weapon Guide

(What should players get for a Blackmage Weapon...? Something with Speeding MP healing, Something with Healing MP within the battle faster, Something that decreases your hate overtime, Something to boost Combos chances) More combos=more damage

(Combo Boosting Logic... My Notes. 1/3 Counter, Bonus Trigger hookup at Combo bar Triggered when holding special weapon)

Fire Spells (Blackmage & Redmage Only)
Ice Spells (Blackmage & Redmage Only)
Earth Spells (Blackmage & Redmage Only)
Thunder Spells (Blackmage & Redmage Only)

8secs tier6 Hate+13
3secs tier7 Hate+18

(total hate from tier1~7 is 53)

Magic Combo Timers will be 10secs/1min. If they aren't triggered it will reset to 0.

Ideas for Summoner!

Have least 3~6 ready
Menu Name Also Triggers the Pets Actions for Combos
Summoning a Pet takes 6-15secs casting time
Each Summon has 5 Abilities to combo with
Can only have 1 Summon out at once
Have Dismiss Action & Attack Action Menus
Dissmiss makes the summon fallback to you. Double clicking removes the summon)
Attack, Summon attacks nearest target and randomly selects Abilitys
Summoning a Summon takes all 9/10 of your MP
Tier1 Summon attacks cost 4MP
Summoners have low HP. Same as Blackmage
Summoners will have there own Weapons.
Will we be able to summon the ifrit in the ifrit image you already showed us? Nope thats FF14 Ifrit and is quite large. The Boss is quite hard. A smaller and FF11 ifrit will be for Summoners.
When to expect Summoner to come? Really hard to say due to the fact that might be after the LBP Vita release once I feel Updates are getting to be enough for players.
Is there be Summon Fights...? Yes but in unlocking these Abilities you need to do the Quest line "Evoker Trials" This is a quest that keeps growing with Each new Summon added and rewards Summoners with Weapons. Each Summon is based around a level to unlock them. Ifrit is lv20 so basically for you toget him you need to do Evoker Ifrit Quest toget yourself with a Ifrit Summoning Staff which willl let you summon ifrit and give you credit. Once you reach high 70's New weapons will open up letting you summon all summons but there will be bonuses to these weapons such as MP Bonuses, Combo Summon Bonuses, Pet Auto-Heal Bonus, Pet Damage Bonuses and so on. Toget these weapons will be somewhat linked into the Summoning Circle of Quests given to you at every few levels.

[venat]

I like any anwser any questions reguarding my game. So shoot away!

What I been to doing...

Level Design and Building for Gustaberg Region
Title Menu...New Game~ Nation Selection Menu
Debuging BattleSystem
Redoing Magic System for Blackmage (Adding in Combo Magic)

Special Item

Copper Beastmen Seal (For "Wings of Fury" (Chest Boss Fight)



New Image of Spellcasting (Working progress)



QUESTION!

Do You want each Nation (3 Nations) to have there Intro? Simple Intro of Why your there and whats going on and mention of HELP
"Note" These would have to be Movie Levels.
Or Just throw you into City Level?

New Game=Nation=Cutscene=City Level=WorldMap=First Field Level?

Job Tuterial Level would be on the Worldmap (Not Made Yet)
Cutscene Replay Would also be on the Worldmap (Can be Added in Easy)
Crafting Room/Tuterial Would be also on Worldmap (Crafting System still in working progress)
Advanced Game Tuterial Would be on Worldmap (Not Made yet)

[Megaboy93]

You're certainly keeping yourself occupied with this.

[ZackBoy]

You're certainly keeping yourself occupied with this.

No kidding... this looks absolutely epic, and the amount of data is just... huge! Any ETA on a beta/demo release?

No kidding... this looks absolutely epic, and the amount of data is just... huge! Any ETA on a beta/demo release?

Trying for the end of March for Update1a. If not we will see... I dont think I will be able to cus still alot of extra stuff I need to add in before gameplay is smooth.
My goals were way to extreme for a major release... I'm Sorry.

Changing Sackbots to Sticker panel designed characters.


Samurari







Need some feedback but proper testing has been gone underway. Still question if it would be right direction to take.

Question on amount of ingame memory is still a question.
Would remove... Sackbot Skill Acting, Sackbots, Grab Controls. Replaced with New Walking/Jumping Logic/New Sticker Panel Frames for acting.

[Rpg Maker]

I think it looks interesting, even if the sword does pop out a bit too much. I think this would be an interesting art direction to take, but I fear too many changes will greatly delay your game from coming out.

But it may be well worth it in the end. Ultimately, I think you will just have to ask yourself: what you want players to experience in your game? Atmosphere plays a great part in the role playing experience, and the graphics are an important part of producing that atmosphere. The good thing with this, is that it will give your games art a more united feel than when you used Sackbots, since it kinda feels like mix and match right now. It will also save you a lot of thermo space--which is a huge plus for large rpgs like this one.

The bad things I see ( besides time constraints) is well nothing lol Its going to take a ton of time to do those animations--and I am not sure if it will be entirely better than not having it like you already have now. So, really, it just depends on what you want players to experience and how you want them to perceive your game.

I dont think its gonna happen. I would have to do quite alot to those images to make them POP in color better. Right now using sackbots and its going great so far. I really dont wanna delay the game just for this. Right now need to release content like crazy to keep players busy and happy. "Update1a" Gonna be a nice Update toget stuff started off.
