RPG Maker progress update (2017/12/30) (Patreon)

Even though we only took one day off during christmas time, we didn't make as much progress as we hoped to make.

We apologize for that and try our best to deliver Alpha 4 as fast as possible.

We're almost there, this is what's left to do until Alpha 4 release:

- Catheline x Failure CG variations (will be done during Saturday Live Stream)

- Giant Wasp Demons CG (base CG is done, as well as some varriations, but not all of them yet.)

And I guess that's it.

The two CG scenes need to be implemented of course.

Other than that, Blade (our game designer) is currently working on implementing the boss fight and placing enemy encounters on the new dungeon maps, as well as implementing the cutscene after the boss fight.

We're almost there!

Usually we test our games thoroughly before releasing them.

But this time we'll be just giving it a quick test to check if everything runs smoothly, making sure that the 2nd dungeon can be completed in a playthrough at all.

And then we'll release it, so there might be some minor bugs here and there.

We'll fix all of them for the Alpha 4.1 release.

Seeing as how tight this schedule already is, there's chances that we're not going to make it by the end of this year, but we'll surely make it a few days after new years.

We are very sorry and apologize for the inconveniences!

And yeah, we only took one day off during this holiday season, meaning we've been working the other 6 days of the week (our usual work weeks is 5 days a week, so we're really pushing it here).

Once we released Alpha 4, we'll be taking at least one week off to recover a bit.

Regarding 3rd dungeon:

The next poll will be about the 3rd dungeon theme, so we're happy to hear your suggestions for the dungeon.

I skipped through my notes and Patron suggestions and if I'm not mistaken, then the only dungeon theme that would work that we currently have is "Brothel theme".

There was another suggestion for "Theme Park theme" (aka "Demonland") but I'm afraid we can't do that one yet as we need a full custom tileset for this one, and we currently don't have a professional pixel artist for this.

So this suggestion has to wait for a bit.

If you have any suggestions for the theme of the 3rd dungeon, please feel free to share it in the comments below or via PM.

We'll make sure to start a poll in about a week or so, to determine the theme for the 3rd dungeon in time.

So please make sure to send in your suggestions in time.

Thank you very much!
