Announcement

[Luchino-chan]

You know jaydee, I am stunned that your project doens't recieve as much attention as the others out here. You clearly have a knack for writing ( which is crucial to any RPG ), your graphics were great even before the big revamp ( but now it just looks better ) and I'm sure the gamplay doesn't fail impress either. One must wonder...

The dark atmosphere on your maps does suit the game's setting, as it does for both blueperiod's and ak47lol's. Just as long as they don't become too similar. ^^ You want your project to stand out from the other masses out there.

But keep it up, jaydee. Keep it up.

@Luchino-Chan:
Haha! I don't intend to make it similar. But, as I said, everything that occurs in the story (visually or not) happens for a reason. Thanks for dropping by. And, I don't mind about popularity, really, as long as I have a few people who help me stay on track.

Jaydee, loving the new Castle of Udun, though it really reminds me of Linus.

P.S.: I can send you something that will help you record with sound.

@AK47Lol:
You just shattered all my pride, dude! LOL! JK! Yes, I would be delighted to have your help.

UPDATE #36:
- Just wondering about that new Logo for my project. Which one do you favor best, the new one (below) or the old one (in the title scene screenshot in the OP)?

Edit: (Added another version of the title)

New Logo.


Old Logo.

I prefer the newer logo, jaydee. The old one was always a little too hard to read due to it's styilized nature. I think that if you used the colours of that logo for your new one, it would look great, since the colours there don't suit the mood of your game.

@Luchino-Chan:
How about now? Is it better?

That's a hell of a lot better now, jaydee. I really like the overall design now.

UPDATE #37:
- Now comes a Tech-DEMO for a new tileset try-out! I would like to share it, so that I can see what you guys think of it. Do NOT worry, LOA is still under production. Slow, maybe; but I am still at it. School has just been very time-consuming lately... Anyhow, here is the TECH-DEMO! Enjoy and comment!!

Edit:
Will be re-uploaded shortly.

Edit 2:
Re-upload finished!

Looking good Jaydee. Keep up the hard work!

[jaydee15]

UPDATE #38:
- Back to posting original LOA screenshots!

The "newest" version of the Garden of Udun. Not the final product, but very close to.

- If all goes according to plan, I hope to have a newer, longer Demo of LOA prologue by mid-April. As for Chapter 1 and 2, expect it over the summer, God willing.

My apologies if I have been slow on the production. I hope to become more productive over time.

Godspeed!

@Jaydee : Love the new logo! Looking forward to the longer demo.

[jaydee15]

UPDATE #39:
- I finally managed to implement something that will help you, players, keep track of what you will have to do throughout the game. Yes, you guessed it right!

(Not yet final)

[Luchino-chan]

Wow, how many times have you revamped this project already? Can I suggest just one tiny thing for the Quest system? The background is very sharp and contrasting, and could make it hard to read the quests, even though it's on a dark background. The glare is just a little too much. Tone it down and it will look alot better.

[jaydee15]

@Luchino-Chan:
In total, I have revamped the project about 4 times: once, in around 2009 (the topic is long gone now); another in 2010, when I was still using the MACK tilesets; once more in 2011, using the RMXP tilesets (from the old demo); and now, which is with Celianna et al. tilesets, but being about 75 to 100% parallax. The reason I have changed, again, is because I have become more familiar with modifying the graphics with Photoshop (I still can't frankensprite, though, which sucks), so I try to make more customized graphics. Not that it is important, though. As far as I am concerned with the Quest System, the only reason I didn't implement it yet (which I have been wanting to since the first year) is because I was trying to figure out how to use it properly and effectively. And yes, I remarked the sharpness of the screen. I am still wondering how I should approach a better appeal (judging by what you said). It looks like using "Screen" and "Soft Lights" did not do it justice... LOL! I'll try to change it.

[jaydee15]

UPDATE #40:
- Booyah with another screenshot! I hope you remember the White Haven! Now, it's really white (so to speak, LOL!)!

(Not the final product!!)

- I hope to be able to release the Demo around mid-April or so. I'll let you guys know if I ever need a Beta-Tester (which is a likely case).

Godspeed,
