With the 25 anniversary coming in next month, its good to see more Sonic content. I like the mode 7-like effect.

I think that yayz. :^D
I'm glad you like it :) I'm on full hustle with this project now.

Very nicely done. And huzzah for Popful Mail as a secret character.

Thank you bud:) And yes, I have a feeling fans will love it. There are also a few other secret characters in store.

Oh, yeah, that would explain it!

I only played the Sega CD version in emulator. I have to admit, the English acting and dialogue is pretty good, not just for the time, but even by modern standards. Can't say I really agree with a number of aspects of the game's design, or Working Designs' changes to the mechanics, but oh well, I still found it a fairly charming game. Too bad that anime deal never went through...

e: oh, Popful's a secret character? That's pretty cool. Also, Popful Mail X, haha, I'd play it!


I just watched the link. I would have enjoyed watching this. Its sad that things like this never became a reality. It reminds me a lot of the Ys series(probably because its made by the same company). I sort of count Mail as a female version of Adol.

And yes, in honor of using her sprites in the beginning, I went on ahead and added her. It took a while to learn how to code correctly, but making characters is easy to me now. Thanks for sharing this and I love your username XD

These look pretty nice! Though, is it just me, or does Lydia look maybe a little too much like Popful Mail?

Great observation!! Ah, this brings back memories. Back in 2012 when I first started the game, I based Lydia off of Popful Mail. She was the original character in the game before Lydia even existed.

As a matter of fact, that was the EXACT sprite sheet I used to create Lydia. It took a while before making her look more like Monster World than Popful Mail, but I was thinking the same thing. I have several sketches of the character and I do have plans on changing the costume in the final stages.

Popful Mail is awesome by the way, I own 2 of the 3 versions. Actually, she is in the game as well. She is a secret character the can only be obtained by certain conditions.

By the way, here is the old sprite sheet I used way back when I started. I'm surprised I still have this XD

Mine doesn't look all that different. I guess I did it right the first time.

Actually, you are right:) Ferkin and Ryou looked the closest to the style I have now, so there wasn't much to fix with them. Great job!

I like it! Kiki is lookin' good~
Glad to hear you like it:) It took a bit to choose what to do with her, but its all coming together.

Nice to see Glaedr doesn't have balloon sausages anymore. XD
Haha! I remember you mentioning that a while ago XD. Its because of you I wanted to fix it so bad haha:)

For all 5 of you who created a character (you know who you are XD), here are examples of what the characters look like now. Its been a long road, but I like the way they look now more than ever. What do you guys think?

author=Dyhalto
Oooh. Yes, this is definitely the best one yet. Very legible, and very pretty.


Thanks Dyhalto! Its been a struggle, but I like the way it is now. Keep in mind, this is only 1 of 6 display styles. It also includes and RGB(Red,Green,Blue)System seen in games like Final Fantasy and Tales of. I hope you enjoy the new demo when its released.

...About how far would you say you are from completion?
The answer to that question might be disappointing :P

I'm done rewriting all that I wanted to rewrite, including the game play elements, story, scenes, locations, etc. Everything. I'm still coding the new game play elements (coding the game play is the first thing I always do for all projects). Not a lot of the new art needed has been made either. I'd say that the game is still very far from completion.

No problem:) as developers who don't get paid for what we do, we all know how long it takes to finish our first project because there is so much you want to implement from games you've played before while adding your own touches. Also, it takes a long time depending on which kind of game you are making. In your case; an action rpg in an engine that is difficult to make these kinds of games with. Kudos to you for actucally making it work:)

Its good that you say that you do gameplay first because that is THE most important thing to knock out first. I'll be on the lookout for this one.
