Adela Isra: The Butterfly Paradox

Well continuing my yearly tradition of only posting journals every couple of months, rather than I say will, I'm back with some updates and important information I thought I should share with all of you.

First of all there was about a 3 month lapse between October and January where i wasn't working on AI the least bit, between real life money issues and lack of motivation it wasn't looking too good but since then I've been working steadily on AI and I can say progress is looking well. I'm in the process of laying down the base maps for the entirety of the game(just the floor tiles and the mandatory stuff). I expect to be on the next phase by the end of the month if everything goes well. After that I'm going to be decorating and eventing simultaneously. While doing that I'll be tweaking the little things that need to be well...tweaked. The battle system and battlers have BEEN finished and ready to go, as are the majority of skills, equipment and monsters. Setup and balancing is really all I have left for them that I can think of.

That leads me into an important piece of info that I've been meaning to share for a while if I haven't already.
Adela Isra isn't going to have a public demo released at any point in time. The only people who will be playing it before completion will be the beta testers I carefully pick, based on how carefully they can pick the game apart haha. This is the reason why I'm trying to keep hype down for the mean time. No point in teasing people for an entire year imo. So please don't ask when a demo will be released any longer, for both our sakes. Instead what I'll be doing as adding more to the game after it's initial release, as a sort of expansion to the game which you can plot your save file right into and have the access to the new areas.

I really wish I had more to add but for now you all can take a breather know that Adela Isra is still on track and the only thing I plan to work on until completion(because gosh knows there hasn't been any other event you'd need a breather for >_>.)
