It's been almost 4 Months now since I released a Gif of 4 Dudes doin' their thing in some weird Ruin Area.

Today, I would like to announce a newly designed TOD 1... Update!!! From a disaster 1 week Project, to a fully fledged short 2 Hour JRPG.



What has been added!?
I can tell you for a Fact, the things I promised in the last Blog aren't in this Version, HOWEVER, you know me and my grip for making Battles more fun and engaging! I made it look cooler and the Story now DOESN'T SUCK! IN FACT, I'M ALMOST READY TO SAY IT'S SOMEWHAT ENGAGI-... no... I'm not ready yet! It's still too far from being interesting. And I'm not neglecting the Features I promised, I tried, I really did... The fact that I'm still using VX is just not helping this Game grow any faster! The "Interactable Ambushes" is proving to be an Eventing Nightmare! The Puzzles... I was never really fond of Puzzles and don't know how to stick one inside an action based Game like this... it's not really action based, but the things I put in this Game just don't scream "HOLD STILL AND THINK!" but rather "NO TIME TO LOSE, BETTER BRING IT ON NOW!" I think... I might actually scrap that Idea altogether, unless some Puzzle Genuis helps me out with some quick maths... I mean quick Puzzles.

And yes, I am looking for more Force on the Dev Battlefield, but you're not gonna get paid, because I am already paying a musician and I don't fancy the Idea of becoming an actual Dev anyway. This is a Hobby I'd like to stay a Hobby and not a Job. Only those who are interested and think I can make a good Game can help me out here. And as much as I say feedback is important, I do not really care about anyone else's opinion UNLESS it's Work based and you ACTUALLY HAVE GOOD POINTS. I'm not gonna change a Sunshine Ray, because the Shadows are weirdly placed or something unimportant to the everyday Eye... they'll barely even notice. And If I can forgive Games for being bad sometimes, I also can forgive myself for at least being a little bit lazy. I do this for Fun and not profit. So if I say, this looks good enough, you have to trust me that it just looks good enough. I am only willing to put this much effort into it when I'm enjoying myself. And from this Game Version you can tell that I have a pretty dedicated Time in learning this weird ATB Tankentai Battlesystem. Granted, I could make the bestesd flippin' animation ever, but I am only giving you so much, because the thrill lies in the Journey and not the Destination.
What am I even talking about...
Maybe this is just a brainwashing technique to make you join my Team... WELL, EVEN IF, IS THAT SO BAD!? I'M NOT EVEN DOING ANY CRIMES, DO I!? AM I CRAZY!? yes

Anyway, I may not have many Followers for this Game, but I do appreciate every single one who gives this Game a Chance! :) As much as I hate receiving some Opinions that totally can just stay inside the Mind, I do still appreciate you trying to help me! Don't worry, this is just me being a usual Dick.

Time to list some Features, I guess:
- A new Damage Calculation System has been added, making it easier to predict how much an Enemy is going to do Damage to you etc. etc. etc.
- Status Effects/Debuffs will now either hit 100% of the Time or never.
- Desperation Moves: A GRAND TOTAL OF 1 DESPERATION MOVE IN THIS VERSION, OBVSLY I WILL ADD MORE!
- Scan now doesn't Scan every Enemy, but one with additional Information for Status Effects and Immunities to Elements
- OBVIOUSLY THE GRAPHIX HAVE BEEN CHANGED MY BOY (mostly sprites............)
- Hard Mode is dead... because I needed to rearrange Skills, because it got out of hand lol
- New Plots and Twists... I guess...
- Items have a Cap now.
- Revive Crystal, for those out of Candy and SP at a cost of all your Party's HP
- I forgot if there was more, because it's been literally (I think) a Year since I played the 2nd Version
- DABBING ARMA
- And much more!... or that was actually it!

I've also added it to the Download Link for the Game Page with the Addition of the VERY FIRST TOD VERSION! See how all these 3 Versions differ from each other and see how the fuck I even pulled off to make this Game as good as it is today.
