The last leg

Well... I've finished up the 300th map for this baby of mine, and mapped the outside of one of Laine's final destinations; The Grand Temple of Fonteini, home of the Alatean Brotherhood and seat of its head, the High Priest, Anastatis Reich ( who is mentioned in the early stages of the game ).
After I've written out those scenes, the party has to head for one last dungeon, where a key item is being kept. Naturally, because it is the very last one in the game, the area has to be pretty challenging, but not so difficult that players will rage-quit. :) But yes, expect plentyof Wyrm/Dragon enemies ( and no, they are not bosses ) and the usual elementals who just love to make hell for your party.
*sigh* I admit I'm feeling pretty sad as Laine''s journey is nearing its end, so naturally, I have to give you guys a worthy ending ( maybe even squeeze a tear out or two XD ). To think she sprang up from a sketch I did in late 2010 after looking at some Fire Emblem artwork... Her designs may have changed over time ( see the Development Art section ) but two things about her remained more or less the same: Her piercing gaze and her wild hairdo. XD
I may say it now, but I'm not sure if I will even make sequels/prequels to this.
The game has taken a lot out of me over the last four or so years, and I'm not sure if I can bear something like this again. Sure, Tristian still needs to be completed, but that will probably be the last 'long' RPG I work on ( basically, any RM game longer than 10 hours is deemed lengthy )

CloseCongrats on the 300th map!
Game making is such a strenuous process... and the older we get, the harder it is. I'm always left with a sense of amusement when I think back on how much more motivation and time I had back in my teens and early twenties for this kind of thing. With that being said, I love game making so I could never really leave it. I'm thankful that, being an artist, I can still contribute to the development of an rpg without having to bear the full weight of all the responsibilities involved.
RPG Making is very often self indulgent, so hopefully you got back as much as you gave during the last four years. Maybe after Tristian is done... you could look into collab projects. As my Final Fantasy Discovery partner said... "two heads are better than one!" :)
