Well you hit the nail on the head; Alcrea town is located in the Southern drylands c: Glad to hear that the song would fit the place at least!

It's always great when a track fits its environment, and I'd say you've got a real knack for it. One of my favourite things about the explorers of sky soundtrack is how perfectly nearly every piece does this.

Hey guys!! i made a short survey in regards to my game which I'm working on because I want to do something special for the first official release of the demo, but I'll need you guys' opinion on some things first before I decide what I'm gonna do for it. If you're interested in the game, please take the time to fill in the survey-- it's only like 5 minutes of work so it shouldn't take up too much of your time. Thank you in advance!!!

here's another sneak peek, progress is being made again :^) I have a solid 2 1/2 weeks off still, so hopefully i'll be able to get all of the mapping done in that time!

Zumi this Fan Game looks absolutely amazing 😲... I'm sure that this will definitely blow me away when completed. I wish you the best of luck 😁👌

 

Thank you very much for the kind words!! I really hope it'll live up to your expectations ;v;

Alright, I've seen (and listened to) your work, and I have to say that I ADORE the Admin Battle Theme.. even the non-reworked version you put up on youtube...(I kinda like that...more?)

You definitely nailed the RPG feel with customary - yet strong melody, so that's great! I'll listen to your other tracks when I'm free.

Your maps also have a very nice aesthetic, especially the colors. You obviously put a lot of effort in making this! I wish you all the best , keep it up!

OK NO I DIDN'T DIE BUT I FELT LIKE I SHOULD EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS

 

so uh

i initially intended to finish all the mapping during my break between block B and C of school!!! but that didn't happen

because i ended up getting a bunch of commissions that i needed to work on, and an even bigger "big oof" was that, like a dumbass, i overexerted my wrist about two weeks ago and am now walking around with a brace around my right wrist and hand whenever im drawing. oops.

 

I've been working on portfolio stuff since I've able to draw again and since i use my tablet often while mapping, i haven't really made progress on mapping since uhhhhhhhh........ late january-early february

and i apologize for that

 

i mostly want to hit my own head against the wall though for still not having finished mapping WHILE I COULD'VE BEEN DONE WITH ALL THAT JAZZ A LONG TIME AGO but okay. i will finish mapping eventually.

 

not this week tho because i'm going to a con and i wanna wrap up several commissions this week BUT AFTER THIS WEEKEND i'm hopefully gonna pick up the pace slowly again so you'll see more progress after then!!

Following fan games means you need some patience.

And considering that fan games got smaller teams, less resources and still better story than the original brand makes it more than worth it.

Long story short: take your time recovering, we'll wait.

@Zumi One of the most agonizing things is not being able to finish a goal you wanted on time. It happens and we've all felt it. I have plenty of "Why is this taking forever" moments when doing stuff for modding even. The most important thing is this: you only have two hands, one body, and one mind. Nothing for this game is worth sacrificing one of those things. Just make sure to take care of yourself and remember these things will get done eventually so long as you pace yourself properly.

Hey i'ts okay!  In my opinion, people shouldn't announce  deadlines for these things.  It just adds unnecessary stress, and in the end,  life often just doesn't let us keep up with them. It's gonna be done eventually, as long as you want it !

i am so

sO

SO

 

incredibly happy to announce

 

image.png.66417768d9dae7b6214f16987b4db27a.png

 

that the mapping for v1 is done.

 

now i can finally move on to eventing!!

v1 is edging closer and closer to release, slowly but surely. it'll take a while until i've made everything balanced of course, and you can't expect V1 to be 100% balanced from the get go (as that's difficult w/ 18 starters), but I'll do my best to get it to a decent state before release.

 

good lord i can't wait tbh, i'm so incredibly excited to get to work on eventing now ;~; i've been waiting to continue with it since I decided to do all the mapping first before eventing, but now I can finally get started ahHHHHHHHHHHHH

Congrats Zoomers! that's a big milestone, and I absolutely can't wait to see all the hard work that's been put in!

So starting off great, I'm nearly done with all the story related eventing in Lillica town already! I still need to do stuff for the Pokemon Lab, but other than that, the town itself has its story fully working. I'm probably going to try to do at least something for it every evening, but we'll see how much time I can spend on it when I also have school and commissions to worry about lmao

 

In any case, eventing is now officially in progress! I'm super excited tbh, I can't wait to get the story rolling dhgsdfgdhjfk

Just stumbled across this thread. The attention to detail put into this game looks and sounds f*cking amazing.

 

I'm definitely looking forward to hearing some new music in a fan game. I understand it's difficult to acquire a team to work for free (even harder if you're doing so much yourself) but every fan game seems to copy/paste Glitch City music for the entire soundtrack without switching it up with a handful of original tracks (as great as she is, too much of a good thing is a bad thing).

 

People appreciate the attention to detail SO much, even those that don't voice their appreciation. 

 

No pressure on a release date or anything, take your time and enjoy it and the community will be here when the game's ready.

I only saw this last night, but thank you so much!! It made my night to read this, haha

 

I've put a lot of effort into the game so far, so I hope it'll be worth the wait!!
