Soooo Rm2k3 is legal now & I want to apologise to you all

Wow it's been WAY too long an absence. First off just a huge apology to everyone who was following this game & there maybe people still out their hoping for an eventual release.

I've had my reasons for not working on Among Thieves, I wish I could tell you I've been secretly just working away on this, but reality is I haven't touched this game in over a year now. The first reason was just my inability to afford a replacement PC to actually work on it, then came the news of my dads cancer. I dropped everything to come home & be his full time caretaker for most of last year. But when my dad finally started to get better I went back to work & got two jobs & have been for the past like 6 months now pulling like 14-17hr days, needed the money for my family & myself.

But because of my crazy hours I was finally able to afford a new PC, one that came with Windows 8 which as some of you know doesn't work all that well with Rm2k3, at least it didn't :D

I'm sure you've all heard the fucking amazing news that Rm2k3 has officially been released in English for the first time ever! That's what brings me back here... I've been using this program & been around the community for WAY too long haha, but this news my God, blowing my mind that I may be finally able to not just work on this but make other things as well.

It's not wasted knowledge now it seems, it could actually be useful now!

I'm not going to promise anything yet but this announcement & release has sparked something in me I thought would never come back. So yeah... Stay tuned I guess :D

Announcement

Some actual news :D



Like my grid/collage thing I got going on, pretty sweet right.. I was bored :\

So yeah anyways, onto the news!

I've been doing alright lately and I might finally be able to get back to working on this game again. Now I know what you're thinking "this fucking guy" haha but in all seriousness it's a big possibility now. Financially it's taken like over a year but I think we're out of the crippling poverty stage and now back to just poor :)

Plus having quit one of my jobs I do have more time and finally now being able to save some money I can work towards getting something to work with. One other thing has been on my mind.. VXAce. After seeing UPRC so flawlessly mold Blackmoon Prophecy II with VXAce and Chronology of the Last Era also shifting towards it I've really been considering making the move.

All that extra power and general freedom, no more restrictions and just a yearning for the type of gameplay I could accomplish with such an engine.. It's all very appealing.

Still, I know Rm2k3 and I have done quite a bit already within it so starting again essentially is the biggest factor holding me back. I don't know what do you guys think?

Also if this is written poorly I'm sorry, it's from my phone. All I can access the net nowadays with.

Announcement

Early Christmas message and a small update.



Hope everyone's having a great holiday so far. I know it's been a stupidly long wait for this and I actually feel quite bad but due to personal circumstances I have to be honest and say I have done nothing but write and procrastinate about the development of AT.

I'm hoping to change all that soon..ish though. I don't know guys, all I can do is apologize for everything and I guess reassure you that I don't plan on giving up on this game. If it takes me another year or two to even get back to it I'm willing to persevere and hold on to the idea that one day I will finally release it for you unbelievably patient people.

But since I rarely pop by I figured now is as good a time as any to wish everyone here Merry Christmas and just keep that flicker of hope burning.

:D

Just letting you guys know..

Ohk so my laptop that has this game on its screen was smashed while I was away. Don't worry I literally had just backed everything up on a HDD a couple days earlier. So everything's fine and there just.. I have nothing to work with until I can either get it fixed or replaced, its still under warranty though.

Onto some better news I maybe changing up the battle system, specifically the skills of the characters. Yah see I've always wanted to have no magic within this game but having skills or specials from the characters kinda negates that. That's where I came up with an ammo system idea, see I always wanted to add guns to this game and having the players go out buy specific ammo for each skill could be that way I can incorporate this kinda idea.

Btw if this doesn't make sense let me know as I'm doing this from my phone right now. Please let me know or if you have any suggestions as discussing the game is all I can do right now sadly :\

Announcement

On Break.. :(

So I guess an explanation is order. I know I haven't even been around for the past month or so and progress on this project has been even less so. Probably a month or so back I was diagnosed bipolar, if you don't know what that is then look it up for yourself really as I don't like to explain it much, just brings me down. Anyway uhh yeah so I've been dealing with that along with having to work two jobs since January to keep my parents afloat financially, so any free time I do have isn't really spent on progressing with Among Thieves because frankly even though I know quite a few people are looking forward to playing this, it really isn't a big priority or mine at the moment.

I am so swamped with personal/real life issues and honestly will be for the next coming months as well. I'm truly sorry guys really, I wish I had the time to commit to this but it just isn't there, unless I don't want to sleep. Let me be clear though.. THIS IS NOT A CANCELLATION!! I have every intention to push through and get something out for you guys.

I'm actually writing this on my break so.. Yeah. Uploaded a small screenshot if that's any consolation. I had so many notices haha.

Thanks for the Spotlight, etc..



First I would just like to thank everyone for all the continued support & patience, truly. It does mean a lot to me and also to the staff at RMN for the very kind feature.

Seeing that front page has made me work a lot on my game these past few days, as evidenced by the screenshot topic I've been abusing lately haha. You will have noticed that there's a new preview, enjoy. That is of the town I just sorta finished, not completely satisfied with it yet but overall it's practically done. Except the interiors still need to get to. You guys might have noticed a couple of new screenshots, I'm quite fond of my train through the Nocturne region.

In regards to the "controversy" lately uhh I've always stated that anything within my game that you see looks appealing and you want to use it don't hesitate to ask, I'll gladly give any of the resources I've made/edited for free use. I apologize to NB & anyone else if my don miguel joke or general demeanor came of as arrogant or annoying in anyway. I can tell you now I haven't stolen/plagiarized anything(Well aside from using SNES game{s} materials & commercial games music) for my game. It's all just been good work going towards a goal of one day finishing another game before I bow out of this whole scene.

Again guys, the support is unbelievable and I just hope you guys aren't having too high expectations for me :D

Edit - 30,000 views wooo!! & 1000 on my Youtube as well. Thanks guys!

New Video & Screenshot!



Well as you can see, not really anything new, but I wanted to show you guys how the new sprite looked in action. Also screenshot of a new area, Nocturne. Y'know that green place with the trees, well that's in the images section. Adding the info for the characters section for the three characters I've bothered to summarize. Will also be adding much needed info in the world page. So yeah.. Enjoy!

Oh and over 50 subscribers wow, you guys are the best!

Announcement

Dragon's Tear is no more..

Gotcha!

Haha but seriously I've changed the name of the game. It's not cancelled don't worry and it still is essentially the same game, just improved upon. There are going to be big changes showing up soon so make sure to check back. Also will be updating everything, from screenshots to videos and new ones all very soon. But yeah, tell me what you think of the new title screen and name of the game below.

Edit - Just updated most, if not all the images for the game. Enjoy!




New sprites for the game and new name/title. Pretty much everythings been improved.

Announcement

20,000 Views!





Thank you guys for the continued support and patience & for almost 50 subs, wow! So to commemorate this little milestone I decided to take a quick video of the town I'm(still) working on. The town itself isn't currently finished as I still have to make the interiors for the rest of the houses/shops other than the inn. Create the sewer dungeon underneath the town as well, add more detail and NPCs, etc.

Story behind the water going trough the town is it was built at the edge of the island along the river. Hope you guys enjoy it and.. Keep checking back!
