Alright, it's been a little while since I've reported any new changes. Truthfully, I haven't really been putting a lot of time in this recently. However, I do have some cool stuff to show.

- respawn system is gone; now once you eliminate on monsters in an area, your party will be rewarded with some nice stat upgrades
- adrenaline system coding is pretty much finished, I just have to tweak a few things and add the code to every battle
- added a "Monster Hunting" sidequest; I plan to expand alot on this, and I'll post some new screenshots when I get the chance
- working on a "Stat Building" system which may be used in addition to level gaining or replace it all together. However, I still trying to figure this out.
- decreased monster difficulty (again); I'm hoping that all the additions in stat building won't make the battles too easy, but I doubt that will be a problem.

I'm going to go ahead and post some screenshots of the CMS for the monster hunting sidequest. I haven't really gotten much further in the plot, just because I'm still trying to perfect the gameplay aspect before I get too much further. Hopefully, I will something new to show off by new RSD (and I emphasize "hopefully").

Celebrating 100 downloads! Wooooo!

Alright, here's where I am currently in revising:

- almost finished with the "New Marcellus" look. It's essentially the same looking guy, but he better matches the other characters in style.
- added an "Adrenaline" system; this isn't anything revolutionary. As you attack and defend, your adrenaline bar will increase. When full, you can unleash an Adrenaline technique, which can deal serious damage or significantly heal your party.
- increased the damage of Epoch's blade arts some and decreased the mana cost
- added the option to skip the introduction; I also added a few additional scenes in the background while the credits roll so people have something to watch.

That's basically it right now. Once I'm finished polishing everything, I can continue where I left off in the story. Again, thanks for the feedback.

I made the poor assumption that everyone was a "have to find everything" kinda person like me. Well, just so nobody runs into anymore difficulty problems, Epoch's first and most important blade art is in the room next to his in the beginning. YOU WILL NEED THIS SKILL, TRUST ME!!

Alright, it is becoming increasingly obvious to me that RM tool went and deleted a bunch of files that should've stayed. For that reason (and other balancing issues), I plan on releasing a third and final version of Demo I sometime in the near future. This demo will include:

- Decreased difficulty, in order to balance the fighting some
- NO BUGS, and this time, I will test play the corrected version when I'm done (which I neglected to do the first time)
- Possible decrease in file size; I may changer some of my MP3s to midi's to make it more downloader friendly
- A few map edits towards the middle I've been meaning to fix
- Changing some (or maybe all) the facesets to better match the game's theme

I still haven't gotten much feedback at all from my game. Please, if you come across a problem, or just feel like criticizing my game, don't hesitate to send me a message. I love feedback, and any problem you may have I will fix immediately. Oh and if you enjoy it, I always enjoy hearing praise. :) Thanks.

Yeah, I know the file size is huge. But I urge you give it a try. It's pretty much the MP3s, but don't worry, they're good MP3s and this demo is at least two to three hours.

NOTE
This is the smallest I could get it; if there are alot of complaints I'll try to decrease it more, but I'd rather not cut anything unless it's really necessary.
