The Shift Saga: Esoteric

On Febuary 29th I will be releasing an unfinished version of the game. I hope to have the essentials complete so that it can be completed in it's unfinished form. The game will then go into a permanent hiatus with occasional updates - at least for the foreseeable future. This is partially due to my help getting married and going off on an adventure (kudos to them!) It is also partially do to some significant changes to the game and having to remake a significant portion of the game last week when a file got deleted. Finally, it is all partially do to me picking up more classes and continuing classes through two breaks.

Progress:
1. Some maps have been polished, but many more need work.
2. Fishing has not been touched.
3. The class system has been completed through to tier 5 and is nearing completion.
4. All characters have been added, totaling at around 120 with around the same amount of classes. Some of these characters are completed. Others are half complete. Others simply place holders. Some special non-combat abilities have been implemented, but not many.
5. A few more intermediate cutscenes completed.
6. More NPCs and some more subquests to fill up empty space.
7. A lot of miscellaneous things.
8. A few things not yet added to the game will need to be added to the journal.
9. Add monsters to the cluster maps
10. Finish adding chests to the world.
11. Actually making the bosses worthwhile.

After I release this unfinished game on the 29th, I'll probably stay away for it a while. The version I'll release will have some unfinished content cut away to be added when they are done. A few of my games are about to reach 500 total downloads (across all sites I've placed them on) and I think I'll go and update them all with new features as the reach that.

As for the sequel to this game (it's a trilogy), it's still planned. I'm going to have to move my work to MV and I'll probably port it to a few systems. The second game is going to be quite different and a lot smaller.

I hope you'll tell me what you think of this little project of mine.
Thank you for reading!
