Hello Everyone, It's been a little while since I've actually posted anything regarding the next update, but I'm back and ready to share some things about both this and coming updates..! So first, please enjoy some screenshots from 1.3!
Upcoming Content With Essentials v20 now being released, I've done a bit of thinking and I've decided to change what will be added when and where. I'd like to share what I have planned for the next 2 big updates. - Update v1.3 (July 2022) - 3 new Chapters (13, 14, 15) - Conclusion to Act I - New Protagonist Sprites!
- New/Updated Sprites for Rylas, Destiny, and Calvin. - New Regional Variants
- Oceia city remake
- New Sidequests in South West Ayrei - Updates to the Virtual Arena and other side areas - Update v2.0 (Fall 2022)
- 2 new Chapters (16, 17) - Introduction to Act II
- New Gimmick (Gauntlets)
- Introduction to South East Ayrei - Arlen city remake
- New Regional Variants
New Character Sprites! I've finally gotten around to making new sprites for the Important new characters of the story! While these are mostly edits to custom sprites from public assets (which will be credited obv.) I'm doing my best to give every important character a unique look! I do also plan to give more context on the protagonist character in the future.
A delay on Gauntlets? While I stated Gauntlets would be included in 1.3 in the last post, I'm going to push them back an update. The reason for this is because Gauntlets will be the first unique mechanic coded into the game. With an update to the engine out, I have plans to port to v20 next update but doing so isn't a simple process. Long story short, it will be much less tedious for me to create this new mechanic AFTER I've updated to v20.
Final notes I know I didn't show off too much but I'm keeping about 95% of the new content behind closed doors for now, and that's simply because I want a lot of the new stuff to be a surprise for everyone. I've finished Chapter 13 and am about halfway through Chapter 14's content. I'll be honest, 14 has probably been my favorite chapter to write so far, so I'm really looking forward to everyones reactions once it's all public.
