Story Prologue Complete & Game Page Update

I'm excited to announce that the prologue of my game is complete. While many would think, "Wow, so the first 15-20 minutes of your game is done?" Not really...

ToY2 Prologue:
I mentioned in a previous blog post that my game is divided up into chapters. Before you begin chapter one, however, you'll experience the 4-5 hour prologue. "SAY WHAT?! 4-5 hours?!"

The reason my game's prologue is so long is that it's broken up into four parts: Skylan, Senn, Kagmaar, and Lacillia. You're going to play a short intro for each character (roughly 1.5 hours each), but when you reach the end of one, you'll start another. You'll see how the four main characters come to arrive in Sardonia, how they meet up, and, ultimately, join forces to take on their primary objective of the game.

Now, before you think this is 4-5 hours of story and dialogue only, it's not. Each character has their own unique spin, introducing different aspects of the game: dialogue choices, combat, shopping, alchemy, gathering, and upgrading skills and equipment. Plus, there's four mini-maps to explore full of monsters to fight, items to find, and a few puzzles to solve. Once the prologue ends, you'll start chapter one, and play as the main protagonist, Skylan, for the rest of the game.

However; before I start on chapter one, I need to play through and test my prologue a few more times. I also want to make sure everything is complete before I start the first chapter. I still have some artwork to get done, combat to flush out, and a few more additions to add. That's what I'm currently working on now. I'll continue to provide updates on the progress, so stay tuned!

Game Page Update:
I added some animated GIFs for each party member's SV Battler, along with some better headers and a custom image for my game's title at the very top. This is all thanks to my game's artist, CChameleon (artwork & thread here), and my bestie, Stephanie. She's the one that created my Tales of Yuria font/title, this page's headers, my Gray Bard Gaming logo, and she's the beautiful singing voice for my title screen, which you can hear on my first Developer's Update. She's been an amazing friend, and I love her for everything she's done for me.

However; this is just the first step of making the game page more visually appealing. I'll be adding some additional artwork and screenshots to bring the page to life even more, and you can also expect some updates to my game's lore, including the history of Ostragen, and the people and races that inhabit the land. So, keep an eye out for these updates,and make sure you subscribe so you're notified when a new blog is posted.
