PROGRESS

Well, almost. Just gotta put in a couple items here and there and then finish up a quick cutscene leading into the final episode. I made huge progress today, so I can feel like I've stuck to my word regarding these holidays.

As posted elsewhere, Fergus now has a sort of Last Stand type of attack when he hits 20% health or lower. The screen simply turns red briefly and his attacks are doubled, which should come in handy for episodes with all party members.

As for episode 8... it's practically already finished. It reuses some older maps with added areas for further exploration, and all that really needs to be done is the final battle and the endings (which I kinda sorta maybe don't remember what they were).I'm trying my hardest to get by on the resources I have without having to make or find more, so that's my big hope for this week. It will be difficult, due to the end scene... but I could probably find a way to make it work. Tonight will most likely be spent making new resources for the sequel, since I've been wanting to finish a bunch of those this week as well.



RELEASE

So when is the final version gonna come out? I could give an estimate, but I probably wouldn't give myself the benefit of the doubt in doing so. I could have it finished any time within the next couple of days, or maybe it'll be another whole week. That said, it still needs more beta testing, which will begin with me before I move on to my testers. So, it is my best guess that it will be released in full... early January. That's the best I can guess lol.

So there you have it. This game, despite how many times I've gone back and redone things over and over, will finally be finished very soon. It's been over a year since I began this game, and I don't have to tell you how much time went into it. It was fun though, and the sequel is even more fun to map for. I have big plans for future releases of this one too, as I will constantly be adding new things to spruce it up and fix bugs. Newer versions (past 1.0 or 1.1), however, will only be available by downloading the sequel.

Last but not least, the third game in the series now has a name. Fragile Hearts III (that's i.i.i., standing for Immensely Irresponsible Injuries). See what I did there? Yeah. There's no progress on that game, just the name. So... there's the update.
