Uh, hey. You probably forgot you subscribed to this game and that's ok.
It's been a while huh, I apologize heavily for the silence for so long, I've been busy with work since I now work full time and with life in general. Plus I've been experiencing a lot of burn out. However even though I wanted to add more, I decided to upload this new version which DOES continue the story, I believe it's another hour of content, with one new dungeon and party member. I also reworked a ton of cutscenes (like the intro) and maps (like the Forest of Shrine again god this is like the 3rd time I reworked that dungeon.)
The best new thing of all is that the skip cutscene function is fixed! I just replaced it with a better script, the only downsides are that some cutscenes are unskippable and some you have to skip multiple times. There's also new side quests in previous towns to add more variety. I even reworked some.

I should probably mention a couple things though:
- The only super boss you can fight right now is the one if the Forest of the Shrines, due to the level cap I'll need to rework their balance before I can release them, you will be given a reward when you reach them though.
- I started this game when I was still a teenager, and back then I got excited and promised a lot of things. So things like the previous trailers were removed and boss rematches won't arrive un till the game is finished.

Now I can't give you the date of the next version because I'm not sure, I live a busy life right now plus I'm burned out again so unless this version has some serious bugs don't expect any new updates any time soon. I do hope you enjoy this new version though! I will upload the version with RTP at a later date but for now you'll need to download the VX Ace RTP pack if you want to play this version.

IMPORTANT: Due to new improved scripts being added your previous save files will no longer function, I did provide a save file that starts at the beginning at the Path of Ora that completed all the current side quests if you want to use that one. I do recommend re playing the game since new stuff were added but that's your call.

I swear I'm not making these to farm makerscore.

Just a little reminder that, yes, I'm still working on the newest version. I do not have a release date because I can't predict the future, but I'll try my best to get it out as soon as possible.

Although, there's some bad news to all of this. After some editing, I unfortunately ran into a problem that pretty much makes your previous files useless. So the only options when getting the new version are:
1. Restart your playthrough (again).
2. Use the extra save file I'll provide in the newest version.
I'm very sorry it had to come this way, it was a simple bug fix script too. The save file will include every sidequest completed (as of where the last save is), current equipment and a different name for the protagonist (although you will receive a name changer item).

As for new stuff, I remade Forest of the Shrines (again again). Not gonna post screenshots this time. Also I plan on adding more (and better) sidequests after I finish the current version. Since, you know. Finally, since I got some complaints, I will lock up the Mt. Volcanic superboss as well as future ones until the game is complete, I may add some easier secret ones but we'll wait and see. The Forest dungeon superboss will still be available since that one is actually beatable.

Once again, terribly sorry for the save file issues, I hope you understand.
(Also I'm still accepting testers, if you want to help me out my discord is Porkate42#8948).

Have a nice one.

Hi guyssssss... How have you been?
Great? Great.

So you may be wondering where I went (all 26 of you, but that may be a stretch). Well you see, I kinda maybe sorta took another break from this game, again.

Too keep it brief, I was making another game. Not gonna go in much detail in this blog since it's a different game. Maybe if you ask I'll probably post a comment or something.
So during that, I wasn't working on Demise (gee go figure) so there wasn't any updates or progress reports posted.
Should've I told you guys sooner? Of course, big mistake on my part. But since I completed the game, I can take another break!

Game took a while, burned out from gam mak or however you guys call it. Don't know how long it will be but I doubt it will be terribly long.

Just letting you know that Demise isn't RIP. So I guess that's some good news(?)
I'll let you know when my break is over and I start working again. But for now, you're gonna wait some more, oop.

This is why I don't do collabs. (Also short blog RIP)

Short blog today, I just want your opinions.

If you saw it, I uploaded a new image of the new battle system hud. I replaced it because while Yanfly's was good, I've seen it a lot (not really a bad thing mind you) so I wanted to add something new.

Although I didn't really ask for opinions since people could not like it and I have to add another download of Yanfly's battle system and it would just be a waste of time for all of us.

So which one do you prefer?

Old (Yanfly)



New (Moghunter)

Has one bug where you can select a command while ATB bar is loading but action will happen when bar is full.

Feel free to tell me what you think. I'll find my answer by majority opinion.

I also made a poll on Twitter if u just wanna vote instead of posting a comment:

Note

Sorry for not updating after a while, I've been busy with life and school (and Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon). However I've been working on Demise more often (Mainly fixing a lot of things, hence why most of this blog is about stuff I fixed).

I'm hoping to release V4.0 this year however I don't know when this year. I'm still not accepting testers just yet, I'll let you know when however.

Anywho, here's more junk. Picture heavy load.

Upcoming Updates

• Still fixing cutscenes and story elements

Two blogs ago I mentioned that I'll be fixing some cutscenes and some story elements. Well in this one I'll go into more detail and show you more story elements I'm fixing.

1. John, Robert and Fern

These three were the biggest concern when it came to story elements. They were just "there." Hence why I added more character to them. Back then they were just regular NPCs that have a few lines, Robert joins you but seemed like he didn't give a crap and John only had one important cutscene. Fern just collected dust.

So when you first encounter them (Mainly Robert and John) at the Military Quarters, they have a short cutscene.

John



Robert



They also have a cutscene (Mainly Fern and Robert because John already had one. However it will be updated) in Fercio as well, just interact with them.

Fern


Robert


Other stuff include:
1. John and Fern actually comment on you surviving, not just Gardo.
2. Robert actually cares about the attack, as the above picture has shown.
3. They cheer you on when fighting Gardo, except for John.
4. John is the reason Gardo used Pierce on you since he distracted you.

2. Cutscene about the attack

Instead of a brief mention, Robert explains in full detail of what happened while you were in the forest. A short cutscene is shown of the monsters attacking the soldiers, the others going in the underground cave and Robert leaves them to find you.




3. Gardo

Gardo got a lot of improvement as well. I only mentioned one scene that needed fixing in the last blog, so I'll share several more.

The cutscene I talked about in the last blog has been fixed, a short conversation is had about the test.



The dialogue has been improved during the promotion test, like I mentioned before with John. Instead of going straight into battle, some dialogue is presented.



After the fight, the main character gets too excited and this happens.


Of course, you still pass.

Speaking of the test, I'm surprised no one called me out on my stupidity. I did some research and apparently Captain is a lower rank than Colonel, so a Captain is ranking a solider above his rank. So Gardo has been promoted to General, since it's higher than Colonel.

Probably the biggest problem with Gardo is his backstory, it's rushed, only Gardo looks younger, the Captain is just a knight. It needed some polish.

So I made found some more resources from closet of younger versions of Sela and Vamp, also the backstory General has a design.

Instead of Gardo telling you his backstory, he takes you to the entrance of the Forest of the Shrines since it's a private area.



In the backstory, Gardo is a slacker and doesn't care for his job.




Argus fight is still the same but with more flavor.



Those are just the major updates for story elements, I'll also add/fix dialogue on certain cutscenes as well, I'll still have the extra file but I recommend re-playing it when the new version comes out to see the new cutscenes, they're miles better than the current ones.

• Wallets

I realized that I added banks not realizing that they're going to be worthless. Plus you can obtain a lot of money easily so you buy almost everything later in the game, thus I have a solution. Wallets, like in the Legend of Zelda.



In the beginning of the game you can only carry 1K gold, but when you get the wallet, you can carry 10K gold. There are two other wallets as well that go up to 100K and 1000K. You won't miss the first wallet, trust me and the other two will be obtained after a side-quest. I don't know if both will be in the new version but most likely one of them will.

• Other Small Updates

1. Every villain has a signature move.

2. Inn prices go up by 50G in every new town.

Ya only two small updates whoops.

News

1. I finished Forest of the Shrines, not the best edit but I still think it holds well. Well that's just me, feel free to give me your thoughts. Only the spring and boss room remain the same (Big pics).







2. I made a new trailer, because the old was isn't that good. hope you enjoy! (Even if it's technically just a clip show recorded with Bandaicam, better than Hypercam anyways).




That's all for now, I'll keep you updated. Have a nice day!
