Progress Report
P6 Blog #27 - The Progress Report
J-Man
It has been some time since I have posted here, based on the screenshot I just pumped out, the game is still progressing. While it has been slow because mostly due to work, but the other part is because of just where the game is at said point in time.
I have to juggle between doing plot based advancement, and dungeon making, along with spriting new enemies on occasion. What also doesn't help is that during this entire stage, there are a lot of optional dungeons to complete... well, sorta. The Elemental Temples, while they are available to get to, they do not have to be completed until you reach a certain point, once that point is reached, you can't progress any further until the four basic elemental temples have been finished.
While in past Phantasia games, you'd have to do all four of them at once and then you progress, I made it so you could go at them, while also progressing the story at the same time, so it doesn't feel like you have to do them all at the same time. It helped me immensely because I didn't have to rush myself to do every single temple, and I could take my time getting the designs for each temple made.
But, in terms of progression wise, once the Earth Temple is finished, it's going to finally get some major development shtuff, it'll be at a point I've been REALLY wanting to start on. It is pretty much a huuuge conclusion to a lot of the plot, but will also bring up new challenges, and also show plot twists galore, y'know, typical jrpg shtuff.
But after all is said and done, the game still won't be finished, BUT, all is not lost, progression wise in terms of plot will hit at least 65-70%. The goal IS to finish this game by the end of the year. And I feel I can accomplish this, but I will still keep going at a steady pace and not rush myself. That always comes back to bite me in the arse.
Well, that's all in terms of progression. Here's a picture of one of the enemies of Phantasia 6, Alexander.

P6 Blog #22 New Year, New Goals!
HEEEEEEEEY Jaymonius here! And time for yet another random blog. More like personal goals and all that other crap, am I right?
First of all, here's a little preview of Zack's Earth fusion.
Second of all, time to make a personal goal for me for this project. I intend to have this game finished by the end of this year. Story wise, I'm way more than 50% done, I'd believe to say I'm even 60-65% done story wise. But gameplay mechanics wise, spriting, and mapping wise though, the game's more like 55% done on that.
A lot has definitely changed since the demo, and everyone's input has been very helpful! And so I appreciate the help you've given to make this project keep going forth.
On that note, there are still some things I want to add into the game, event scenes like some of the ones you seen in Phantasia 5. If there's anyone who's good at making event scenes and the like, gimme a shout and I can hire you. I am no stranger to paying artists to help with my selfish needs, hehe.
What else is there to discuss? Hmm... Hope ya'll are enjoying your New Years. And not making or playing too hard. :P I know I am not, ha ha. Though I am still working my way through the new version I received last month. LOTS of stuff to fix and plus making new poses for the Element Fusion and finishing off each heroes movesets, hoo boy. So much to do.
I should make a list of things to do and have a due date be at the end of each month, for progressions sake.
Well, that's all from me. I got nothing else to discuss at the moment. Sooo, here's to a successful new year peeps! >8D

P6 Blog #20 A partnership has formed!
Hey there peeps, Jaymonius here and I'm helping promote a game, whilst also saying that I have entered a partnership deal with a french RPG Making individual. I make battle characters and his animations, and he will work some maps, he gave me a sample!
This is the old version of my map, which looks pretty bland.
And now here's the awesome new one! ^_^
As soon as I saw this map, I knew. This is going to change EVERYTHING! >:3
As for the game I'm helping work on, it's a game called Lost Dreamers. You can check the game out here.
Here's a preview of the battle character I'm currently working on for him.
Because of this. The game may get delayed a little since he is doing overlay maps, but I'm focusing at the beginning of the game maps.
Well, that's all from me. Be sure to check out his game, it looks REALLY good.

P6 Blog #18 Progress and Script Issues
Heeeeeeeeeey, the monius with another random blog posting making mention that I finally finished the Wind Temple! Not a very complicated dungeon, pretty straight forward really, but hey, it's done and decent length with a nasty boss at the end for our heroes to challenge!
However, I'm now reaching a tiny problem with something, for some reason my status ailments equipped on weapons isn't working, I think it may be something with an existing script that's interfering.
Hell, even instant death spells aren't working, so I wonder what the problem is, if anyone can give me a hand with it, that'd be greeeat.
That's about it from me, here's a Fran using Rising Upper on a big boss. :P
