Remnants of Isolation

If you've been looking at the statistics threads these last few months, you may have noticed RoI at or near the top of the Games that Generate Discussion Last Month category. Despite the many conspiracy theories that have surely surfaced at such a perplexing phenomenon, we are not part of some shadowy effort to keep the game's buzz as high as possible. Just Sooz.

No. Instead, we have been talking each other's ears off in making sure that the game gets as much polish as possible before release. In order to stay coordinated, we've had to talk about every minute detail that could stand a little extra spit and shine. I know what you're probably thinking, "But Nova! Can't you let US in on some of this stuff every now and then? Quit keeping us in the dark!"

Well, that's the purpose of this blog, yes? The changes, additions, and polishing have been coming along very well, and we're now ready to bring them to light! So without further ado...

Graphical overhaul

All the old battlers have been replaced by custom ones made by Sooz! If you haven't, check out her art thread to get a glimpse at a couple of them. In addition, all the old battlebacks have been tossed in favor of custom ones by Michael Rookard. Also, we're getting some custom tilesets by Lunarea!









Also, Sooz is going the extra mile by making CGs as well!




New music

There will be new pieces of music composed by Quigon to replace some of the older battle themes. We are really happy with how they're coming out.


Story expansion

We've added some more backstory that gives a better insight into the castle as well as its inhabitants. Some of it is told via collectible notes, but sharp-eyed players will pick up on the more subtle changes to areas here and there.



That about wraps it up. We're pretty excited about this, and can't wait until release day! Oh, that's right! The release day! When's that going to be? Well, while we don't have a hard date set, we're shooting for an early May release. As soon as we have some more hard facts, we'll make sure to let you know.


Okay, NOW that wraps it up. Thanks for reading!
