Given recent developments, I'l be making costumes for a couple weeks, but when I'm not working on that, I'm waiting for the next Medieval release to see what new resources were added. I might need to augment some story parts do to resources available, or weather I was to make the game shorter in general and move on to other part of the series, making them a short game series.

Lots of work to do this month. I'm not getting much sleep this month, I can already tell...


- Finish Demo for two games early in the month.


- Finish the next map/area of Labyrinth 1. (Basically get 2/3 ways through)


Both are practice for getting myself used to switches and variables and scripting/event-ing in general, as that's one bit of experience I'm lacking (among many things, but steps).


- Write out the rest of the story for Labyrinth 1, along with other details.


- Make an attempt at pixel art, and do art in general, and start practicing that for future developments (Gonna get that tablet, since my other one died on me).


- Finish some of the writing for another project.


Gonna be focusing on a lot of story and writing, along with events and all, since I'm new to it, and kinda teaching myself as I go.


As a side note;


- Buy lots and lots of caffeine.

I made this today! (or yesterday since it's still March where I am) I'm VERY proud of myself! Yeah, I know it's simple and not much compared to what you RPG Maker experts can make, but hey, I feel proud regardless. This is the first event I made that wasn't one that just tested text boxes or battle tests.


As for goals? Probably just what I normally do. Maps, skill creation. Maybe I can make a demo...

For April my goals are as follows:


-Event out the Tower of Storms, an optional mid level dungeon the party can go to in the game. It's already mapped, just need to event it.


-Map out the town of Silverdale, where Chapter 6 will take place.


-Event events up to Silverdale.


-Plan out how my optional high level dungeon is going to go (Dwarfen Training Grounds).


Optional Stretch Goals:


-Event out mini-game #3 for the Crossroads. I already know what it is, just need to sit down and do it now.


-Finish off 1 town's quests completely. This means all side quests for that town for the game done. Since Chapters 7 - 9 should not be adding any new side quests to towns, I figure this is the time to work on this.


-Finish Chapter 6. This is probably too much to do in a month, but I put it here anyways.


-Sleep. Wait, what's that?

 

[BlackRoseMii]

This month, I can get back to my main project and I PROMISE I'll really work on it this time! So these are the goals I have:


-Work on balancing my main game (I don't have a specific goal on this, since I don't know how well this will go)


-Finish the animations for another persons game I'm helping with


-Add the minigame into my side project.


Okay, I hope I'll get these done by the end of the month, especially because university is starting soon, too.

Well, here goes.. I'm not good at keeping to goals so I figured I'd make just a couple to start and this post goes towards my first goal which is.....
To stop being such a lurker and get more involved in the community! (by the way.... hi!)


My main goal for this month is to finish my main character models for my 3d to 2d project. Which involves modeling, texturing, animating, rendering and sheeting. I already have 3 out of 7 modeled/textured. (test results can be seen in my avatar, got the walk cycle down to 8 frames!)


If I finish that goal then I might do some concept art for towns folk or move on to battler models.


Bonus goal is to finish mapping out the world of my first game and event the main story. I've been stuck at 1/4-1/3 done since February.


So not very many goals but the main one is very intensive so we'll see. Mostly I wanted to get a bit more involved here and this looked like the best way to start!

 

[Phonantiphon]

Some good progress here: went into April adding switches for door and light events, and spent an hour - (an hour) - thinking about what tile to use on part of the floor of part of a cellar.


Go figure!!

 

[Schlangan]

Goals for April :


- Finish mission IX (I am half done so it should be easy)


- Start mission X. I might be able to finish it in the month and start mission XI or not, depending if I have to go to Paris for work or not.

 

[taarna23]

My April goals: finish some graphics work I am doing for my dungeon runner, then turn my attention back to my apparently-buggy dungeon script and debug, debug, debug. Sigh. Needs to be done.

Most of the stuff on this list is repeating what I wrote in the February/January(?) goals thread:

• Make Restaff stuff
  
• Finish two sprites I started on way back
  
• Finish database for MV game
  
• Finish Bremen area for main game
  

Let's hope I can do some of these this time around.

4.1 Update: Spent today writing up the events for the Tower of Storms. Now you can go in, fight monsters, and grab the treasures. Also implemented a developer's island, where all the unplaced quest items are. This way I can test quest flow even if a dungeon for an item is not implemented yet. And ,since you have to cheat with CTRL to get to the island, not like a player can get there.

Spent entire day drawing character's bust shot. (People asked my so often I just want to get it over with.)
 

Spoiler

[AceOfAces_Mod]

April Goals:


-Populate the maps.


-Get new items to compliment the armor customisation.


-Ready for release of the disc 1 update.


-Open source the launcher .


 


Progress Report #1:


-Started populating Rengrum. I'm adding additional maps for the buildings.


-Added a few armor pieces (since you can customise the armor).


-Working on the AI of Robert (he is not controllable by the player when he is in the party). He plays more of a healer in one scene.


-Half of the last scene is almost complete. I need to fix up the path-finding.


-Still working on the installer's dependency installer. I can't test it somehow since a) I don't have a computer to test it and b. I cannot remove the framework, since I also need it for Visual Studio.


 


Misc:


-So, Microsoft announced that Xamarin is now free for small teams of 5 or lower. I was left disappointed since I can't target Mac directly from Visual Studio and I miss the UI editing of Windows Forms. But hey, it's at least nice to have (I am not building a Mac version of the launcher, since I don't have neither a Mac nor RMMV).
