Linus: The Forgotten Days
Ah, it's nice to see my favourite ever VX game is back on track again. I can tell that the updated release will be worth the loooong wait. :)
Snail's pace progression.
Thanks for that, EE. Yes, I know I can't let it get to me, but it's still a bit of a downer. Stupid you know, allowing something like this to bother me...
Then again, I can't let the 59 or so subscribers here down, now can I? :) It actually means alot to me, you know. So thank you to everyone who has subbed so far.

@Emmy: I'm in no rush, I can wait. It gives me more time to do the other drawings. I've already started on the new character portraits. What you guys see in the above post are just test-runs, since I know I can do better than that. ^^
Off-note: I'm sadly disappointed about the current VX Awards over at rpgmakervx.net. I didn't get nominated. At all. Real damper, you know. :(

@Ron: I do agree with you, I am far too hard on myself when it comes to doing these portraits. I should just be happy with what I've done so far, but I can be a notorious perfectionist as well. Rather do it twice over, and colour once.
@Miracle: I have no intention of making an FE clone. ^^ This is not a fan-game. I repeaat, this is not a fan-game.
@Emmy: Thanks for that ref. I'll be sure to check it out. With regards to the colouring of the portraits, I have one teensy little problem. I don't ink in my work before I scan it in, since I don't have a tablet. And yeah, I first colour it, then resize. Bummer. ><
So... I'm asking one of you ( or anyone who is reading this, and has a tablet ) this. If I sent you the hi-res original pencil sketch ( 2338 x 1700 pixels ), could one of you guys ink it in, then send me the digitally inked, non-coloured sketch? I'll do the colouring. :) I'm sure the quality will be ALOT better. ^^
@Dyhalto: Yep, steering away from that typical RPG party set-up. But I do have more characters planned. Female, btw. Could possible include a ditzy female sage who is not so ditzy as she seems, and a super-hyped up 'Genki-Girl'. They are Expies of ( well, one of them anyway ) some of my favourite FE characters. ^^ No harm in that, right?

New Video
Just watched the video over at Youtube, and I must say, I'm looking forward to the new product more than anything else now, blueperiod. I've been a fan of this game for a long, long time, and the fact that it's becoming more of an RPG instead of just a visual novel just makes things so much better. Glad to see your writing is still as superb as ever. :)

I guess I'm just not too happy with Siglud's armour. It looks a little... iffy to me. I'm still having a bit of difficulty drawing armour and such. But practice, practice... Or maybe I'm just a little too obsessed with obtaining commercial-quality artwork. Guess I need to lower my standards, eh? ^^

I agree with NewBlack. I so badly want Sairen to be a gal. It would be such a shocking twist if he/she was a guy. *sarcasm implied*
General updates.
Hi Emmy and Ron. Yeah, I am still thinking of using my own artwork ( actually, I'm busy on some new portraits at the moment ) and although it does take alot of practice, like Ron said, I'll gain a valuable skill. :) And as for commercial quality standard ( like the current FE mugs ), still got a looong way to go there.
As for the whole-open world thing, I'm thinking of using both a world-map and open-ended exploration, since I like both, and I can't really decide here. ^^ Best of both worlds, don't you think?
As for Rolfie becoming Patrick, to some of you, I guess he will always be Rolf. Even I still write out his name like that when doing my scenes.
And the audio. Yep, still keeping it. There's no way in hell I am deleting the game's awesome soundtrack just for the sake of making file sizes smaller. One of these days I'll have to split-archive this game. lol

Enelysion Review
Thank you very much for the review, ganonfrog! Funny, you know. I always thought gameplay was my weakest point when it came to making RM games. As for the general storyline, yes. I probably was a bit too vague in giving off any details, for fear of spoilers for future chapters. Maybe when I do a combined release of both Chapters One and Two, I'll elaborate a little more on it.
As for the artwork, yes. I mentioned that in my most recent blog post. I am replacing the FE mugshots. Since you played FE9, you probably saw Lucia instead of Laine, and Rhys instead of Rolf. ^^ But that will change in due time. As for the graphics, I do agree with you on the fact that the graphics used at times are a little too happy, as you put it, especially given the game's serious storyline. A while ago, I though of parallax mapping everything to get rid of VX's 'blockiness', and by making more use of overlays and screen tints for atmosphere. I should probably try to draw inspiration from Amulet of Athos. The revamp there looks pretty amazing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the music as well. I always prided myself in having a good hear for it. :)
But in short, seriously, thank you. Hopefully I can make the next release even better. :)
