So, I put together the basic structure of the map (I haven't done all the rooms, yet, but there is already enough stuff to see, if someone were to take a look around), I did some picture hunting for the characters that you'll meet there, and I started adding the new part of the main quest (the first characters, scenes and whatnot). I also did a few changes to the "lore" of the planet, as I wanted a particular background for this part of the game, and I believe the plot for this will be a nice little thing, if I manage to pull it off. ^_^
Also, know that this is a part of the main quest that you can actually "fail", in a sense, and still continue to play, the consequences might or might not be dangerous for Celeste, depending on how you deal with the rest of the main quest (which isn't in the game yet, right now).
I believe this is all I have to report about the game, for now (the last few days kept me busy with family reunions, going out with friends, and having my car break down on New year's day, so not exactly too much time to do anything).
K. H. also sent 10 US dollars as a donation about a week ago, and I thank him very much for it (if you are reading this, I sent you an e-mail, but you never answered to it, so check your e-mail box! ^_^), it has been an amazing run for donations, lately!
What was wrong with your car?
ReplyDeleteA problem with the gearbox. I was forced to stay at my friend's house, since it happened right after we ended celebrating the new year, and I live too far away to get back by foot... And then I have been busy afterward on and off to take care of some stuff, like recovering it, and trying to understand what exactly was wrong with it, etc... Luckily, I have managed to get my hands on the necessary parts for the repairings, but it really put me in a bad mood when it happened (and I lost a lot of time dealing with it... -_-).
DeleteHi, a really cool game you made mdqp! I just saw it now, and it's really good! One of the best rags games I played until now. Shame about your car >.< I wish you good luck, also what're the musics you have put on the game and where did you find them? (sorry if someone already asked that) They fit perfectly! That's also one my favorite aspects of the game (how you made the music fit perfectly in the game situations)
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you like the game! :D
DeleteYeah, the thing about the car sucks, but it's not really a big deal, it's just annoying... -_-
I found almost all the songs at ocremix (they are all re-arrangements of great tracks from older videogames). I tried really hard to make them fit, so I am happy to know you appreciated them. :)
I love the idea of a quest you can "fail" without it derailing the game. In this sort of project, there are so many fates far more interesting than death you can visit on the PC. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like them, too. :D
DeleteSadly, they are usually the hardest to add, gameplay-wise, because they need to have at least two different outcomes (and depending on what "failing" entails, it could/should also affect the rest of the experience).
I still hope to add a few things in that regard, but given how I built the game so far, there won't be a large number of such situations, I am afraid. :(
