I think Newbie Newtype would make an excellent composer. Should step up. I believe in you!

I like being believed in, and it fuels my insatiable ego, but composing just isn't my thing.

Aw man I forgot about a scene.

Knock graphics back to 30% because it's going to be hard.

Been awhile since we've seen some screenshots, wink wink

Good news, Vampi is back on music. Let's wish him smoother sailing this go around!

Updated 11/17/2011
Progress on Chapter 2: The Lyteless Land
Script: 100%
(Planning) Heroes, Enemies, Attacks, Battles - 99%
Maps - 25%
Text Box fun - 90%
Graphics - 50%
Scripted Scenes - 25%
Battle Testing - 15%
Music - 45%
Sound Effects - Basically done aside from new ones%
Lyte Snap - 25%
Manual - 99%
General Testing - 5%

We've been cracking away as usual. Music's slowed down (sped up? I can't tell anymore!) Graphics are going at a steadyish pace, and I'm getting places in core game development. Thanks to Giz we're pretty much done with dialogue sans one area. Right now I'm having fun working on Lyte Snap stuff. I think it's pretty realistic we'll have this chapter out next year.

Things have been going nicely since the start of the year. We've made a lot of progress on graphics, music (Big thanks to Vampiducki, Calehay and Karasawa--it's looking like the demo will have all music for Chapters 1 and 2 ready), and parts of the game itself. It is looking more and more like the demo will be ready this summer.

Just to clarify: this is 50% for Chapter 2, or is it for overall-everything?

JSH357 · Post by **JSH357** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 8:57 pm

50% of Chapter 2, BUT a lot of stuff will be reused in CH3 and 4 (Chapter 4 in particular will revisit several familiar areas), so they should take significantly less dev time. Chapter 2 is the biggest of them all. If all goes well I could see it being done for good in 2013.

I need somebody to assist with graphics for the rest of the game in order to both make my life easier and get the game finished more quickly.

If you can look at Chapter 1's graphics and think, "Meh, I can do that" instead of "WOW THAT IS IMPRESSIVE" then you are probably good enough.

Please send me a Private Message if you are interested. Even if you ignore that and post in the thread, I will just PM you back to discuss further information.
