A Heart of Gold

[Fisherson]

Having Blackouts here so don't except any chapter updates and I might need some help with a tile set. I got about 20% of my planned chapter done. Still struggling with where to end it, but eh it's at least smaller than I expected and still satisfying. Only thing I worry about sides that one resource is coming up with puzzles that I haven't used int he past. I managed to use yet another invisible mazw with a twist but I did it for a bonus treasure in The Great Desert,not as part of the chapter. Thinking I might just fill the wood area I made with traps and just save my puzzling puzzles until the end? I dunno.

No longer need natives. Weren't as hard to sprite as I thought they would be. Should be done by tonight with a set of natives enough for my chapter. The village will be trickier but ig all else fails iI can always use the Goblin tents.

Well no longer need it, but thanks for the offer, Zolty.  Ahhh I could put a finished model in but make one from scratch? No. Sorry. Better to wait until its your turn and just adapt any preconcieved notions around the curent plot. I had to throw out two scripts just from Moose's stuff let alone Red's additions sparking ideas. Always best to wait and see.

Well I have the set done, Fishman all except for a battleset but I can do that easily once I know if you're using battle animations for battlers or gnarly old three frame sets.

We're using three frames so far. The skill setup makes it a little harder to use even battle animation battle frame extenders like I did in Spring Valley other than on some of the weapons. But sure send it over. I'll add it in for you AFTER my chapter is done most like. Speaking of:

Got the resource I needed but I'm still drawing blanks on puzzles. I keep trying not to go back to old puzzles I used before. >.<;; I'm going to look at past games I enjoyed and see if I can find one I can copy or get ideas from.

EDIT: AHA!! I stumbled on a good puzzle system after watching a vid but actually that just lubricated my brain and made me realize a junk resource I made to be a barrier could in fact serve  as the puzzle if I extended it's purpose a little. Heh heh. Back on track!

Little update: got through the nightmare that was that simple puzzle, really need to spend more time doing these in RPG maker 2003 as MV makes it so easy I forget how to do without a tutorial lol and am now at...20 to 30% done? Sorry it's so low. Oh and I added another character. Really tried not to! But I will NOT add anymore. Just had to try this when I decided I couldn't live without an exotic weapon and stumbled on a class I've never even seen in Final Fantasy o.o A blue mage with a gimmick to steal skills from foes. Shockingly it's low on script and actually owes some thanks to Pokemon Snap of all things. =P Anywho I'll keep working at it and hopefully be done next week. ^^; Though I still can't picture the ending cleary...<.< Starting to bug me but I got a few go to's if this continues past next week.

Hey guys!

Haven't been around for a while, I see this is going well, keep up o/

[Moosetroop11]

Just yell if you want to join in Donut : )

[Donut]

I won't have time to, unfortunately, i'm in a rush with divorcing, finding a new job, moving...

Too much to do T.T

[Moosetroop11]

Aw sorry to hear you're divorcing!

[Fisherson]

**Hugs the Donut** I'm sorry you're going through that buddy. I would have loved to add another chapter or have you finish it in place of Zoltar to take pressure off him and show even though you're new you could pull off a great chapter again. XD I still love/hate re-playing your chapter in Spring Valley to this day! You'll come through this. praying for you if you don't take offense. ^_^ And still doing it even if you do cause you sound like you need all the help you can get.

So 'update': There's nothing really to report. Finally got to the cut scene at the end of that dungeon. Stupid as it sounds? I've been trying to justify the logic of a scene!! XD Once I woke up enough to realize I'm not some pointy eared Vulcan I managed to kick it up to 11 and get back on track but even if I finish it tomorrow I still have to make a chipset and do another series of closing cut scenes/exposition before I can even think about ending. Sorry for being so slow and dumd. ^_^;; Promise it'll beaver worth it in the end though! Well maybe not puzzles but the combat and cutscenes will be funny and interesting at least. Please be patient with me.

[Momeka]

Sorry to hear, Donut.

even though you're new

You know Donut has been here for years right?

[Moosetroop11]

in place of Zoltar to take pressure off him

We make that happen, of course. Zoltar doesn't have to do a chapter if he doesn't want to.

[Fisherson]

Sorry to hear, Donut.

You know Donut has been here for years right?

He's new to chain gaming though! =P Though yeah I guess he's not that new in time wise. I just have a terrible memory anymore. ^_^;

[Donut]

Thanks guys, it's life unfortunately, it'll get better
I'll probably participate in the next one as I have got my hand on a new laptop recently.

BIG BIG BIIIIIIIG TEXAS STYLE UPDATE!!!!!

I have a hotspot. My new phone is a hotspot!! 83 I realize this may not be exciting for you but you should consider this when thinking "Duh. Fish has finally caught up to the 20th century":

I can now upload the game whenever I want. I can talk to you all in near real time given my real life does require me to be active AFK BUT I don't need to wait a month to go to the library and check for rental hotspots. X3 I'm free! The game will now comence!! ...Although I'm still not done with that cut scene or the pieces I need to end the game but now! Now I will ruin the creativity block that dares to hinder this Jedi!! HAHAHAHAHA! I'm alive!! Now let's make a western that in no way really resembles one and keep chain gaming and other things with gusto!! YEAH!

Oh and here's a screen to prove I'm still at work:


The puzzle that almost killed me XD Simple lighting gates. Well hopefully tomorrow I'm done with that cut scene and can start on the final part which is mostly straight forward....<.< Assuming inspiration doesn't take hold. At least no more new characters! Oh wait I didn't even mention there's one in that screen. Ah well you'll meet Kaia soon enough.

Looking good Fish and glad to hear you're internet life is getting easier.

However, since summer is now over it's going to be hard for me to do my chapter, this is always the most stressful time of the year, especially so with a kid.
So I would suggest that Zoltar goes next and hopefully things have slowed down till he's done and I can jump in and do the last chapter. That way I don't have to stress about the chapter and Zoltar won't have to feel the pressure of tying all the ends together and doing the final chapter.
