Starless Umbra
Chapter Seven:
Bleak Remembrance
September 1, 2010.
Because I like setting deadlines for myself, and I have a lot more to show you guys. You can expect:
-Plenty of new content to explore. Ch 7 should add about 2-3 hours of gameplay, putting the total gameplay time somewhere around 12-16 hours, I'd imagine.
-Plenty of revised content. You know, working out storyline kinks, removing unintentional sexual innuendos from dialogue, that sort of thing.
-More minigames and puzzles--all of which are randomly generated so they will be different each playthrough.
-Character development, questions answered, and hopefully a more congruent storyline.
Will saves be compatible?
Sure will! Of course, certain features might not work properly, such as the "game completed" indicator, but if you have a save file from ch5 and up, it *should* work, provided you saved in an area that was unchanged from your version to the newest.
I better download ch6 from your website and get caught up!
Woah there! I suggest you wait until ch7 is done. Not only will this release include all prior releases, but there will be plenty of bugfixes and new cutscenes for you to enjoy.
Will I still be able to skip battles?
Of course, just press right when selecting a difficulty to open the option to disable in-game battles.
How many more releases will there be?
There will be a total of nine chapters, a prologue, and an epilogue. That means, three more releases (not including 7) and I will be done with the main continent. Then, I will be releasing SU10--or SUX--which will feature a revamped battle system (cbs), original character portraits, 100% custom music, that sort of thing.
Thank you for your interest in this project. If you have any other questions, please ask.
