Obama RPG Disk 1 Releases Tomorrow

You heard right. The first half of the game releases tomorrow (actually it would technically be today, since it's 1 AM where I live right now).

I thought about what one user, edchuy, commented on about testing a game and everything and trying to ease doubts, getting some feedback. Well, I figure it's going to take me a while to finish Obama RPG, anyways, since I really need to take a break from it and stuff (I keep telling myself to take a few days' break and end up working on it the whole day, imagine that!).

Well, I've got a few loose ends to wrap up, namely the last cutscene of Chapter IV, and I want to give the game a quick run-through on easy mode to make sure that everything there works properly and that there aren't any glaring errors anywhere else. Other than that, this marks approximately the halfway point in Obama RPG. Chapter IV is a major turning point in the story, and the game goes off in some strange directions after this.

So, I figure I might as well just change my plans and make the game episodic. The first disk (episode, whatever you want to call it) will be the first four chapters. The second disk, the last eight chapters. The final disk will basically be like an expansion pack and include the two paralogue chapters and the epilogue bonus dungeon.

What I really need from you guys is feedback. I want to know if I'm going in a right direction with this. I want to know if you have any suggestions on ways I could improve my game-making on disk 2 and disk 3, and I want to know what you guys are liking about it. I'll take the feedback to heart, and hopefully I can pull something out that will be satisfactory (you can at least know that I'm going to give it a good try).

So, put your "I <3 Obama" t-shirts on, bring out your Obama coffee mugs, make an altar to Obama in your room...do whatever you need to do to get ready, because once I've got everything ready to go, I'm uploading this bad boy. I hope you guys are excited, because I know I am.

Peace out, and I really need to go to bed.

- Marche

Looking forward to it! I don't mind that it'll be in episodes now!

By the way, I was toying with the idea of doing a Let's Play of it. Do you know roughly how much game-play will be in the first episode?

Uh...I feel like if I say 5 hours I'm overexaggerating.

But I don't know. A good few hours, at least. If I had to guess I'd say 4-5, but like I say, I don't want to say it's more than it really is. Obama RPG isn't meant to be a 70 hour RPG, so whatever. I'll be making an announcement about the second episode's rough release date as soon as I get the first one up, so hopefully you'll see more gameplay soon enough.

But I'd love to see a Let's Play of it! Someone made a Let's Play of a game I made (and lost) many years ago, and I still like looking at it from time to time. I know it helps spread the word, and it's fun to see what a player's thinking while they play. So, by all means, go for it.


Speaking of which, I'm getting close to finishing episode 1. Everything is theoretically done (except I just remembered one thing I wanted to do, so I'm going to go do that quick before I forget, again). I just want to go for a quick runthrough on easy mode to make sure that everything's set up there, because there are a few boss fights I had to tweak for easy mode (because of how you win the fight). Oh, and I want to take some music out that I thought I'd use in the first episode, but I didn't, since that can pile on to the file size. Otherwise, I'll have this up ASAP.

Another post right quick. Sorry about the delay in getting it up. It's going to be up late tonight. I've had to fix quite a few things, actually, and I made one big addition (of a narrator) that I think everyone will enjoy.

But, while I could be done in an hour or two, I have to go somewhere, tonight, so I won't be back to get it finished and uploaded until late. Sorry about that. Never fear, it'll be here before midnight tonight, so I won't have lied about the release date. Muahaha!
