Hi! Just a very quick blog post to say that the re-done NotEC - Notes on the Etgoesian Crisis: Plus - is released! I was gonna wait until a few days after uploading the screenshots, but I had the file right here, so thought "why not?".

To quote the last blog post (which had details of my next project in it too), here are the most prominent changes:

~~~~
"I've changed the sprites, to a style derived from heavily-edited Romancing SaGa 3 rips, I brightened the portraits so they look a bit less amateurish, I changed a lot of the character names to be more in-line with the game's early modern Dutch setting ('Pete Walsh' to 'Piet de Valk', 'James Bagworth' to 'Joost Bojinck', and so on) and I changed a lot of the in-game lore to be in-line with Because We're Here - most notably, 'Orville' became 'Wessling' and 'Mellynd' became 'Lassalle'. And of course, 'Edgos' became 'Etgoes'.

Oh, and I scrapped the Star Ocean character system. All characters are recruitable in a single playthrough now! (So ultimate weapons, and the secret support conversations that come with them, can also be attained with much less hassle.) The single exceptions are the characters you must choose between, as you'll find out when you encounter Derek and... oh, you'll see for yourself.

I also put in a way to get past the notoriously-buggy penultimate battle against Jorgund and Magarlindt. So, anyone who got stuck on that: you can finally, er, finish the game! Sorry about that."

Anyway. I thought it best to make a new post just to let you know it was out! If you never played this silly, sarcastic, weirdly historical short jRPG, give it a spin now it's draped in Romancing SaGa realness.
