A realistic expectation would probably be about 10hrs. For the completionist... Maybe 15. We are about a 3rd through the story and our current demo for a new player can take up to 2-3hrs. It won't be too long but most would say it's pretty long for a first project. If it were any longer than that I feel we'd be taking on a little more than we can chew. I'm hoping to have a final version in about a year unless I magically find some extra time. Thanks for the great question!

I love the game it is pretty neat and cool but

the only thing's I less like is the fact to not have boss music ...I love when we can have some cool boss song when you fight them

I notice the fact of the ''turn'' method not work correctly because the yanfly scrolling between actor destroy the magics of the battle system xD!

like It is not suppose to be the turn of darryl and bamm if I touch q or e ...I scroll to him ;w;!

you should fix this little thing's

but continue the game is pretty cool!

I've had some down time at work so I have been working on the project a little more than normal so here are some quick updates:

Characters with be added to the party at the same EXP as Daryl. This will help balance characters so they stay the same level as you progress the game. Special thanks to Palladinthug for the suggestion!

All dungeons after completing them will ask you if you want to return to the entrance. 

Temple of Ondine = Complete [finally!]

We started making that a million years ago (or a few months) and I've been needing to finish the story up. And I did!

I'm almost done with the nifty side dungeon that I think everyone would like... especially fans of puzzles!

I've made a faceset for Vain (Captain of the Airship)



I'm also working on the castle for Amiresh



In the following weeks we will most likely finish up Amiresh and have a demo for you to play to that point. And most likely will have some more facesets done as well.

Sounds fine.

This is the capital city of Brathea (humans).

1. Amiresh pronounced Am eh resh

2. Arimesh pronounced Air ih mesh

Let's make some researches first, shall we?
If I google image search "Arimesh", one of the first images I get is this:
 

And for "Amiresh" this:
 
This is so hard, I don't personally like or use Imesh tbh...nor do I know about that egyptian mummy-boss from Guild Wars.

But I think I'll quote what danko said, so Arimesh (because the second one fits for a pharaon more). :D

Arimesh is a style of women's clothing, and fabric.  So if it is a country ruled only by women, Arimesh.  http://goo.gl/kJEGRN

@Dalph That is a mob in Guild Wars 2.  They are the Amiresh.

You could have it that the people inside the country call themselves one, but foreigners call them the other out of confusion.

Will my previous save function with the new build in the current temple, or have some of the switches been over ridden?  

EDIT:  Oh no- Just Asking.  I don't require them to work, I was just wondering =D  I am happy to play through again, no need to accommodate outdated saves if something needs refining.

Old saves seem to be working. Not sure when I'll have a new demo out though, but it will for sure have the side dungeon in it as well. I'll make sure old saves work with it as well. :)

So exciting, this is more engrossing than the FIFA World's Cup, it's 4 vs 4 atm (I'm serious not sarcastic)

And I'm still for Arimesh.

Edit:
6-4, I still have faith in humanity, let's go with Arimesh guys.

So, just a short update but if you haven't seen my status lately I've been in a bit of a music creative streak with the help of an awesome Father's Day gift.

Anyway, the newest 5 songs on our sound cloud are from today and yesterday.

https://soundcloud.com/jacob-mann

Go check 'em out if you'd like!

Also, I've been considering selling some music on the side. What do you all think? Would any of you buy the music I make?

I know it's not the best out there so prices would be reasonable!

Magi festival was good, but it gets a bit repetitive at the end of the loop.  Boss battle three is extreme, and fits well for a huge battle with the rising tonality.  Battle in the Desert has some nice elements to it, and the strings really give it a regional feel.  Vicini forest is one of the best constructed pieces of the bunch, here you have wood winds and a slow peaceful pace that loops well.  The Port town is gives a nice feel for atmosphere, and will really add to a market place/dock setting.       

EDIT: I am tone deaf, so please ask one of the existing musicians(Scythuz\Quigon may be the best bet).  I will always favor something that sparks imagination and creativity over something that has genuine structure and soul.

In a decisive victory Arimesh beat Amiresh in the votes 7 to 3. The Capital of Brathea (The Human race) is now Arimesh! Thanks to all who voted. If Jacob and I have any other decisions to makes like this there may be more polls on the way. Keep an eye out, keep playing and letting us know your feedback! Thanks!
