Lateness

It’s another update but only a month late! In my last update (August), I stated that the next update would happen in late September. This is not the case so I’m pretty much a lair at this point.

Lateness with RPG Maker games happens to a lot of us. We all have our reasons, but it is important that we not let these reasons stop us from making the game. It is certainly better late than never. However, it is also important to stay on schedule as best you can. It shows that you have discipline and your audience will take your game seriously. Well, I have no audience so what do I know?

Mapping

Mapping is already with underway for chapter 4. Some of the maps and cutscenes are completed. The biggest challenge is to create a new town, called Life Kingdom, while retaining the look I have in mind. The town is located inside a forest and has wooden houses and tall trees. In the interest of time I will have to make it generic. In the future, I will have to look for a tileset or attempt to design one. Suggestions are welcome!

Melon joins the battle!

This section will contain spoilers so if don’t want to get spoiled. Please skip to the next section.

BEGIN SPOILERS

Melon is an Elite Knight of the Life Kingdom. She is a loyal protector of her kingdom and is loved by everyone. She is the personal guard of Princess Lily. She also acts like a big sister and is responsible for training her. However, due to her carefree nature, she spoils Lily and often goes easy on her.

Melon is a ranged character who wields a special bow called Spirit. She can fire arrows using her life energy. It does not deplete her HP. However, her damage is all magical so her normal attacks will not be effective against magic immune or resistant enemies. However, she has some skills to deal with these types of enemies.

Melon is also an excellent healer with an arsenal of skills that can debuff enemies.

Her weakness is her attack type, moderate-low HP and defenses. Her weapon and one of her accessory slots are locked with her own special equipment. They will be upgradable in future versions of the game.

Melon is an old character that I have designed for my manga, Rising Sword (still working on it). She is making a cameo appearance in Momo’s Adventure. Below are her most recent design and sprite sheet along with basic info.

What’s next?

Melon’s sprites are almost complete. Her database is fully done so she will be ready to battle soon.

There are other characters I have to design for the chapter but I will have to make them generic for now using the RTP sprites. The most important thing right now is finishing the chapter.

That’s all for now. If you want notifications on updates, please subscribe. Thanks!
