Progress Report

Boom chakalaka, Shattered Hourglass is fully released.

After long days, weeks, months and a year, I've finished the Shattered Hourglass (yay!).
Game's content a bit extended, I was planning to make a 10 hours long game but it twiced itself. I've had a great time when making my first game. Making bosses hard as possible was the one thing I loved, hell... all RPG games must have a challenging bosses, that's why they are called "Bosses". Who loves itty bitty bosses that you can just auto attack and win?
Back to topic, the main story line is finished but I still need to add some stuff, so my job is not finished yet. I'll make a "To do list" here, so I never forget what to do.

Upcoming Features:
*A side-quest for going Robot Dome.
*More furnitures for player house, also a room is missing in house, I'm thinking what kind of room should I make, probably will be a mini game room.
*Growing crops, gathering them and selling for gold.
*An Arena for required Job Classes.
*More bosses for silly mode, there is none in Chapter III :(

Hell, It's been a wild week...I guess I need a little rest. I've been thinking, fixing, making my game better everyday also improving myself just for you guys. When I first started this project I was clueless about how to put a NPC in town, changing tiles, or making a parallax map. Funny thing is now I learned Photoshop, CSS, Ruby thanks to my game! I hope you'll had a great time on my game, don't forget to feedback :3

Love you people.
