Update 15

So now that the IGMC version is pretty much done (I will call it my demo for the full game), I will talk about what I would change, and will change when I have the time and funds to do so.

• I will buy some slightly bigger sprites that look more at home with the tile sets, the chibi style of sprites annoys me no end sometimes, so something slightly taller and more regular featured would be nice. This also includes a proper amount of NPC’s as well as player characters.
• Battlers, the battlers I used were from Librarium, some of them fit perfectly, and if I was rich and the creator did commissions I would totally have them make some Aztec styled battlers! As it stands I will probably have to either magically get good at art, or I will have to ask someone to draw me some.
• If I could find someone better than me to do the database and enemy balancing I will totally hand over all stuff to them! But given that probably won’t happen I really need to sit down and properly figure out how to work the database to make the game more enjoyable.
• Of course I will probably be annoying Makio-Kuta for busts and character art for the game, because I am in love with her style! So very much! She’ll have had enough of me in the next few months I’m sure. Lol.

My future plans will also include working out a deeper world building for the land of Istolia, to allow me to add more NPC’s, which I am finding quite difficult at the moment. I’m not sure what to have them say or think or feel which is strange for me. I normally have no problem with that. My village and city maps feel empty, and I don’t like that, but I just don’t feel like I can add any in.

The lack of NPC’s is something I will have to address. This probably sound silly, but I feel if I had more diverse sprites to use I would find it easier to give them their own personalities and things to say. Unfortunately I am limited as my main characters are taken from the villager sprite set, so I’m down two adult sprites in towns and cities. Lol.

Anyway, I’m very proud of what I have accomplished; I hope anyone who plays it will enjoy it. I of course hope I can win the contest, but even if I don’t I’m still happy with what I’ve done!
