Sorry for the lack of updates, my dear friends, but the RL bug has bitten me in the behind quite hard, thus cutting my development time in half ( actually, I only have time to work on Tristy on weekends now ) so am I glad I managed to make it to the ten-hour mark. =)
I've been making a few changes to the dialogue and adding in some class-specific skills ( the Characters tab on the game page has been updated, so you guys can view it over there ). Recently, I've been trying to read through the script like I would for a novel, so until I am throughly moved by some scenes, or cheering at its sheer awesomeness, will I be happy with the dialogue ( but TriAnna are such scene stealers; every single scene I write for them I love to death <3. May do a bit of Valentine's Day fanservice for those two. They just give me so many feeeels ). Or I'll try to draw a chibi Lance giving chibi Darcy a pressie. XD
Serious character development ensures.
You need a shady advisor for an equally shady Emperor. You know what they say: "You don't fix what ain't broke."
Been doing a bit of art as well.
General Liangale in all her glory with Soulanis. It appears as a scrolling image in the game.
And something a little more extreme. Because I want this game to be my magnum opus, I really want to go all out for it. As in, really all out. This game has grown very dear to me, and I want to throw everything that I've learned over the last six years of RMing into a glorious 15+ hour epic.
That includes a custom set of graphics done in pixel art style so it really looks like an RPG from a bygone age. Currently, I made a duplicate set of tilesets for the one I'm using in the game, and I am going over every single one of them using my pixel art. This method also prevents me from redoing the 300+ maps in the game so far, since the pixel art will merely replace the tilesets, but then I have to look at every other resource as well ( menu graphics, portraits, other character sets, but I can handle that, no biggie ). I'm keeping the current chibis though.
Example 1: WIP tileset with Tristian's current sprite. Does it clash, or does Tristian's sprite stand out enough?
Example 2 - Worldmap sample. Craze and Pizza already gave me some advice on how to spruce it up in the Watchu Working on? thread. This is still the old screen though.
Naturally, the pixel-art style is similar to Accelerated World's. Just this time, I'm applying the pixel-style to a genre that is nearest and dearest to my heart. =)
So that's what I'm up to for now. Call me crazy, but it might just work. XD

Wow, you really are pulling out all the stops, aren't you? At first I was afraid that you were going to have to redo maps because of the custom resources, but as long as it's just the tilesets you're replacing, then you should be fine. Personally, I think the system graphics are fine enough as it is, so those don't really need changing.
Just remember that some people want to play your game within this lifetime. Good luck!

Good for you, going the route of making original assets. It's always good to hear when somebody makes that decision.
Don't worry, gaiz. You will see a release by some time... next year. XD And it's also a perfect opportunity to practice my pixel art. But I'm not insane enough to redo 300+ maps. That really would be pushing the realm of insanity, lol.

Nice, tuna!
Now that makes me want to work harder on my game. I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU WHO IS GOING TO MAKE A 15+ HOUR EPIC
Btw, my PC's alive and well now. Just needed a bit of TLC. I opened it up and found it caked in dust. No seriously, every single component was covered with a fine film and I had to vacuum it out. So much for maintenance on the hardware side of things. ><
Since the McBacon jam is now coming to an end, hopefully I'll have more time to work on my custom tiles. I won't do another jam though. I'm best off working alone. =)
Still need to fix up the trees and logs, as suggested by Pizza and Craze in the screenie thread.

I'm so glad to see that everything's working right! For redundancy's sake:
BACK. UP. YOUR. FILES!!
*For the record, I didn't know what TLC meant, so I had to Google it. There were... weird things I thought you did to your computer at first before I saw the correct definition.
EDIT: Oh, and...
You've just broke the hearts of everyone who wanted to work with you in the future. Mine included.
