Screenshots!

Hello everyone! It's the end of another month. Because of this I thought I'd leave you guys with some screenshots and highlight one of the villagers who you'll meet when playing Taradiddle! So first, the screenshots.

Okay, not a screenshot but a random art-bit I did

Ruby Lore:
Born seventy years ago, when heroes were more common and Trinin was booming. She was raised in Trinin and married a travelling  merchant. She had just one child, Nicole. When Nicole was just three Ruby got her first major hardship: her husband was missing. He had missed one of his stops and calls started coming in asking where he was. Ruby didn't know. Weeks turned into months then years and Ruby's husband wasn't heard or seen. The government considered him dead after three years. Devastated Ruby become an empty shell and Nicole was often sent to the neighbors so that her mother could mourn. The mother managed to heal but not until her daughter had grown distant and no longer wished to be close to her. Ruby tried hard to reconnect but Nicole just didn't have the will to make it work. Instead Nicole left Trinin for some years. Upon her return she brought a baby girl with her and no husband. Ruby was older,  it was harder for her to move around. Yet when Nicole came back Ruby welcomed her daughter with open arms and promised to help raise her grandchild no matter what. Now the three live together with Nicole working and Ruby staying home to help look after Alisa, her granddaughter. Every day she will sit at Trinin's entrance and wait, peering into the dark forest and waiting for her lost husband to return.


As to what I worked on today I did more writing. It's amazing how much writing is in involved. When I started this project a year ago I thought the majority of work would be using the game-maker but it isn't, a lot of time is also spent in writing, art, and lining resources up. Well, I guess it's time to backup all the work I have so far.

Cya!

Today I worked on the NPC Ruby Lore's movements. I didn't do anything other than that. To be honest, I felt sick for most of the day and still feel off right now. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

Cya!

Worked on writing out more cutscenes today. Also got a lot of the first draft for a mini-comic done up. It's really rough at this point but I've got the basic story down. The comic will focus on two NPCs, Greta and Emmaline. It will follow them as they spy on a 'suspicious' person they've never seen before. Other than that I took screenshots and uploaded them to my website.

On an unrelated note I got accepted to the training school! Super excited atm.

Cya!

I worked on NPC movements today. Spent a good two hours working on them today. I discovered I had forgotten to switch one map over to my new system so that took an hour in itself. Then I worked more on one of the NPCs that you can marry, Greta Moore. Then I tested what I had so far to make sure they all worked right. They did, by the way.

 Non-Game related: I got everything sorted for the training school I'm trying to get accepted into. Now I just have to wait for the interview and then cross my fingers and hope I get accepted! I'm so full of nervous energy... I think I could explode and splatter my computer at any moment. If I don't get accepted, to be honest, I'm not sure what I'll do. Someone asked me this a few days ago and I hadn't really thought of it *blushes*. I've been so stressed getting everything together that I hadn't had time to think of failure. Now that's all I can think of since there is nothing else to think about until the interview. Anyhow, you guys probably don't care about this anyway.

Cya!

The above is the NPC I've been working on. You can marry her so her movements are a lot more complicated than a normal NPC. First, it changes depending on if she is unwed, wed to rival, or wed to you. If she is married to you it changes once more depending on what house you're living in at the time. So that's a lot of different possibilities and routes and times when it comes to her travelling around the village. I will get it done though even if it takes me five years! Oh, and today I mostly wrote things.

Cya!

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everyone had a better day than I did. Anywho.

Today I used the Looseleaf generator and got all the female hairstyles made and converted for Ace. Only other thing I did today was attempt to think of some new mini-games but I wasn't able to as I've had a headache all day.

Cya!
