Convergence: The Changing Tide

[HuntingSwan]

What happened?  You had quite a lot of positive feedback it seems.

Oh no I was looking forward to this game, what happened? =(

I don't know exactly what's wrong with my spoiler boxes.  I spent 2 hours trying to fix it up to no avail.

Anyway, a full Art Conversion is now in process.  The following changes are in the works.

- Resolution change to 640x480

- Character Resolution change from 49x49 to 70x70

This is a major art conversion that requires all four steps to rework correctly.  But it is actually coming along very nicely, and I should have Version 0.100 ready soon.

After a long haul, a full makeover has been finished, and V0.100 is now available to play!  

The world map is still on wait, but I am actually pleased with how well it has turned out thus far.  I look forward to your feedback!

One final update before the World Map incorporation becomes a necessity.

- Music and Sound Effects Balance

- Fixed a bug involving the Tactician's "Inspire" skill that literally made it as strong as end game forbidden magic.

- Fine detail changes in events.  Some conversations have been slightly changed to fit the comic book and novel models.

My attention now firmly shifts back to the beginning of Convergence.  The Prologue is now also in production as a visual novel.  Wish me luck.

So far seems like a great game.  I did notice that when entering Larnas, in the dialog box it says drones.  Not sure if that was left intentionally, but on first page it seemed like you were renaming it to shells.

 

[optimum45]

Yes, there are still hidden instances of the word "drones", as they were later changed because...well drones.  

Thanks for pointing it out.  I will change it in the current version.

Thanks for your time, and for playing the game!  I hope you enjoy it!

Im enjoying it quite a bit, and have no problem at all with that word.  Just a bit of ocd forum reading, and it had been mentioned previously lol.  Personally I think drones would work just as well as shells.

 

[optimum45]

At first I was okay with them too.     But then I remembered how many times the word has been used in a story, and decided to change it up to make it different.  I didn't want people to draw a parallel to, say, a Borg Drone or a Star Wars Drone, from hearing the word.  

The term "Shells" has grown on me, and they are a part of the Canon now.
