Hi everyone, it's Ljink with another Dragon Quest + update.

So, Dragon Quest + has been in development for over a year and I thought it shouldn't take that long to remake a game that's only about 6 hours long. But through this time I can tell you that I am so grateful that it took this long. No, the game isn't finished, but if I had rushed that game out like I initially wanted to... it would have been crap. So, here's what has been done since that hiatus-

1.) Fully funtional personality system. For those of you who have played Dragon Quest 3r you know about the personality test it presents to you. I tried my best to duplicate it and it is as close to it as it gets. This personality will enable you to perform certain tasks for certain people for spoils.

2.) Edited battle system- As close to DQ as it gets on 2k3. I'm really mad that I couldn't use the turn based battle system that just showed up on 2k3. The battles are fair but not turn based fair. For Dragon Quest 2 I will be using the turn based battle style.

3.) Maps have been redone. I am so glad that I redid about 50% of the maps. They look better and there is more detail in them. This is one of the things that takes so long. As you know, 2k3s graphics can be a bit jagged so I took the liberty in softening them myself so in-game it looks much better. I will say however, when the game is released next year, I will reccomend you playing it in full screen mode or fullscreen+small screen.(I love the second best)

4.) Minigames are still in development.

All in all, the game is going great. I wanted to put orchestrated music in it but while playing I didn't think it fit as much as synthesized music. Also, the game will not feature the full "Magic Door" scenarios either. While playing DQ1 over and over I said I'd be doing the game no good if I went and changed so much stuff. This is an anniversary game after all. So, the game will just have a very long bonus dungeon instead. The game is solid enough as it is but not as solid as I would like it to be. Until then, look forward to the game coming next August.

This is Ljink, signing off... man I hate saying that.
