Again, I thank you for your incredible videos! They were very entertaining and also your feedback was extremely useful.
The game full game was originally intended to be one full 30 hour experience, but with the announcement of the Release Something Weekend, I really didn't want to wait around - I just wanted to release something! So that's when the split was made, so in the month prior to May 4th, I spent all my time testing, fixing and making the split for Lunar Wish. (It had already been completed and I'm actually well into development in The Rebellion). With that said, it won't take another 5 years to develop haha! That is the reason for there no Final Boss, although one can consider there to be 2 final bosses - they just don't happen to be directly before the credits :P
The split also explains the abrupt ending which pains me, but there was no work around for it.
If the RSW weren't announced, I probably wouldn't have split the game, but in hindsight, I'm glad I have as it's given me the opportunity to make the second part so much better than it probably would originally come out as thanks to yours and others feedback! For example, I'm definitely working on the character development. I also realised that Orbs of Fate doesn't really involve much of the story, but it works by leaving the player wondering. Why are there all these random scenes to do the orb? Why did Loki join the Academy? Why did the orb thief do what she had done? Who is Logan? Who is Tag? Who is Master Pow? etc, etc... The Rebellion will answer all those questions and also be rich in storyline.
Also, in Orbs of Fate, it is possible to complete the Skill Trees - In The Rebellion, everyone will be given an extra skill tree! It will also have the option to start a new game at recommended levels. I will definitely learn from my mistakes and promise not to get lazy on dungeons! I know the TanBurn Passage was really short (but planned to be much longer), so I shall make all the dungeons longer! I'm glad you liked the gadgets too - They're also one of my favourite features and there'll be sure to be more of them!
lastly, I have to say that I'm flattered about the 4 - 4.5 score :)
Thank you so much for playing and the videos!
(Whoa, that was long)
