Ooho, tis been approved! Shall be making a support bar and shizz for anyone wanting one. Will be working on the demo ASAP, gonna be a pretty busy few weeks coming up for me, but I'll try to squeeze it in

[Dezz123]

This looks pretty good.
Nice job with this!

[Unfamiliar]

Good luck

[quigonkeichy]

@Dezz123 + Unfamiliar - thanks!

Well that's one essay down and another three to go/exam to study for. Yeah, the second I upload a project thread my workload increases x2398.

I'll try my best to update soon, there's a ton of stuff to change within the actual game too. Demo might be a nice Christmas present for you all, hehe.

[Dezz123]

Cool.
I highly recommend changing the windowskin though. It looks ugly. >__>

Y'reckon? There's a script in game that you can change the windowskin with anyway, it's ony really for going with the title screen a bit better tbh.

[EZaxess]

I like your maps.

I like it, it's just the layering inside that I'm neutral about.

[quigonkeichy]

All my essays are down, just got my exam to study for, so I'm assuming this'll be my main source of procrastination. So there may be updates soonish

[quigonkeichy]

In case anyone be a'wondering, the teaser/demo will be most likely be released in the next few weeks. This project ain't dead yet!

Things to do -

- I changed the CMS from Yanfly's to modern algebra's, so I'm busy going through cutscenes and the like and fixing speech bubbles all over the place (tedious -.-)

- Little bit of databasing - there're still no JP settings or whatnot for the two characters you'll be controlling in the teaser, meaning that right now you can learn Drake's strongest skil lat the beginning of the game. So I'm going through all of that.

- General tidy up - I do want it to be nice looking for you all

So bear with me dudes, there will be updates as soon as all that's out the way

Your mapping skill is simply phenomenal! I love it so far!
Your windowskin just seems a little...off. The border seems to be a little too intricate and detracts from the text.
But everything else looks excellent - looking forward to the demo!

[quigonkeichy]

Just to let anyone who's wondering know, this project is still alive. Seem to have hit a spell of complete CBAness, which'll hopefully have died out soon.

What I am loooking for are people who are skilled with portrait and sprite making to contact me if they're interested in joining up here. I'm looking for custom graphics for all the characters, and if there's anyone who feels up for it then give me a PM and we can work something out.

Sorry if there're people waiting on a demo, I'll get there guys.

[Emmych]

Whoo~! Fancy maps~! I look forward to working with you. :3

[Paschendaele]

Pretty good looking mapping

[quigonkeichy]

Just a short and simple little bump to let you know the progress atm -

- emmych is now the MAIN CHARACTER DESIGNER AND GRAPHICS AND SPRITES LADY. So that means the RTP characters will soon be bidding a fond farewell to Blood Shard. I'll update the main post with screenshots soonsoon.

- The majority of the demo maps are being revamped with overlays or being completely parallaxed, so they be looking a lot better.

- There're lots of edits needing to be doing regarding scripts that I'm using, the journal being one of them. Not only that, but a few skill related things need to be sorted, namely passives.

- There's a little prologue still to get done, which should bump up the playtime and give you more info on one of the primary antagonists.

So, apologies it's taking a while, but I want it to be perfecto. And hey, you can't rush that~! Aha, I jest.

[Emmych]

Hahahah, thanks for the major shout out, dude. xD
Also, I think you should put a link for the support bar up, because a) I want one, and after the demo is released, I'm preeeetty sure you're going to have a million and one supporters. These characters are rad~! (And not because I'm drawing them - this dude's writing is fandiddlyfriggintastic!! This one is gonna be a winner, I swear.)

[quigonkeichy]

Aaw, thank you emmych! And I would put the support bar up but I can't seem to do it without it going all weird and just showing the support bar in the codebox :S Also, I might wait till I can make one with the new characters in it too, rather than the rtp ones

Ah, that makes sense...
guess I'd better hurry up on those sprites then, eh? xD

[ak47lol]

This looks great, I'm eagerly awaiting the demo!

[Luchino-chan]

The storyline seems very well thought out, and the characters even more so. Your mapping is really good as well ( nothing is overdone, nor do they look empty ) and I fully approve of using BEM ( Battle Engine Melody ). That is one amazing CBS.

Good luck with this, hope to see more in the future.
