NOBODY PANIC, I'M STILL ALIVE! Welcome my friends, to the mother of all late comments. Thank you for coming. The tickets were free, so if you paid anything for them, you've been scammed. I will of course address everyone's comments individually.
A_Tomio- Hey hey, congrats on beating the game! Thirty hours, you say? I'm willing to bet you absolutely obliterated the final boss. I was level 20 when I did it as a point of reference. You may be pleased to hear that I've been buffing a lot of the bosses for the ultimate edition, but not so much as to make them too overwhelming. To tell you the truth, I would've loved to make a postgame, but it would've been difficult to make appropriate movesets and enemies considering where the story ends. Glad to hear you enjoyed it though! The next version will have more content, so hopefully you'll enjoy it even more.
Tacodie- Yo Tac, sorry for the insanely late reply, but if by chance your interest isn't a shambling zombie of its former self, I'd be happy to send you the answers you're looking for through your inbox. Although just a heads up, it might spoil some things about the sequel for you, as all your questions will be answered there. I will say however, that the ultimate edition and Luminous have been developed side by side, though I've been more focused on the ultimate edition for a while now. I have a tendency to be a bit overambitious, but hopefully it'll end up paying off. Ultimate is definitely being released before Luminous though.
scourge and ignotop- Thanks for your concern guys, and I'm sorry if I made you worry. My health...honestly could be better, but I'm not in danger of croaking or anything. Been getting some pretty bad side effects from dialysis but nothing life threatening. Also been working on getting a new kidney and having surgery on my legs to correct their blood flow, so if all that happens I'll be good as new.
I'd like to apologize to everyone for my long bout of silence, but I can assure you you're all going to be stuck with me for a long time to come. As always, thanks so much for your patience, kind words and continued interest in the game. I've been going through a very difficult time in my life for what's going on three years now, what with the medical issues, but you guys have brought me a lot of joy in spite of it, and I want you to know I'll always be grateful. Thanks a million, peeps!
When will there be Pandora and Azrielle roma-

So yeah, it's a lot of stuff but I think it'll be worth the effort in the end. I'm certainly open to suggestions, so feel free to let loose if you'd like to.
What about Azrielle and Pandora roma-
May 1st Update
author=MaskedNightmareDude what’s your discord! I lost everything when I made a new one a few years back”
Been inactive on this site for 3 years. Randomly logged in today and saw a bunch of notices related to this. Good to see this back in action. Can't wait to see what's in store!

author=OzzyTheOneFunny enough that’s an old picture. It’s a lot better than before
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that had the idea of turning the player sprite tiny for overworld travel.
Somber Elegy: Broken Dreams
author=OzzyTheOneI am always happy to share. Honestly I guess you can say it’s taking time to release it is because it’s a complete learning experience!
I'm super glad to hear that! It's always exciting to follow a game's development when the dev himself is also excited about the progress they make. I also feel like it's a good learning experience, for all of these things for others to take into consideration as well when they work on their projects, I know that I will!
Somber Elegy: Broken Dreams
author=OzzyTheOneLearned that the hard way! Things are a lot more simpler than before. Like I have a single map for all the one map dungeon areas, and another map just for caves. It used to just be separate maps for each one but since I wanted to make the game fully explorable, I had to condense everything down to one single map when it came to these small caves or dungeons. Overall, I love how it all turned out.
It's always good to know when to trim the fat from a game and avoid feature creep or to get rid of features that you just don't enjoy working with. Always good to avoid biting off more than you can chew, or biting off things you'd rather not chew! xD
Somber Elegy: Broken Dreams
author=OzzyTheOneI will see, but with out it’s currently set up, it’ll be extremely difficult to pull off since I scrapped that entire concept some time ago. I do have a difficulty script set up to make things more interesting d:author=SomberMaybe make it an optional "Hard Mode" for players that really want a challenge and that want to try to beat the game in 30 in-game days? Just an idea, I've also dabbled with ideas of making the passage of time in an RPG affect the main quest and such.author=orcaproductionsI removed that a long time ago. It’s no longer 30 days, but an infinite time like a traditional RPG. I just implemented certain things like day/night scripts and advanced weather. I just wanted to have that feel of days passing by instead of it just turning into a tinted screen out of the blue.
maybe doe to the game being about stopping evil iin 30 days, a guide could save the world
Plus with the 30 day timeframe I had, I wouldn’t be able to implement what I have into the game. It was a hindrance instead of something fun.
May 14th Update
author=OzzyTheOneI can show off a few next update! It may be hard to do since most mechanics are common events and just for one mechanic I have roughly 15+ to distribute loot of all variants.
Sounds like a bunch of work invested to improve the game in some nice ways. Keep up the great work! I like to get a peek to the behind the scenes eventing and scripting of projects to see how others find solutions to problems they face in their projects.
I specially like how you're using regions to name sub-areas inside a map, clever way to do it imo.
Also the whole sub-area idea was a concept but I’m glad it turned out better than I expected!
