Morning getaway
Posted 2nd Dec 12, by Alonso Martin  
Things have been going along well! Even though this thing has proven to be a monster to develop, I have found a way to go through it steadily.

I’ve been extending the (interactive) introduction for a few weeks now. It takes about 35 minutes to get through it. It seems dialogue takes more time to make than graphics! Before you get scared, I understand some people really hate dialogue, so the game will automatically skip about 15-20 minutes of game intro by default (except if you enter a special keyword in the name select screen). You can also skim quickly through dialogue.

I’ve also revised the spells/fairies formulas so that you can’t attack enemies of a much higher level than you. I don’t know why I never saw this problem until now, but I’m glad it’s solved.

As for the story, I’m really wondering what people will think of it. It gets really strange in the end, mainly because it ends with a shortfilm. Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about it without spoiling it. But just so you know, I guess. I’m also wondering how far I can go into explaining some key-notions in the game without it seeming like an indoctrination. I’m leaning for leaving some things unsaid rather than saying everything.

Thanks for keeping an eye on this!

I love dialogue, it's the main reason I play RPG's.

This game is looking amazing! I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Really awe inspiring. I bow to your skills.

I agree with -UrbanMonk-, you shouldn't remove or limit dialogue to appeal to 'casual RPG games'. If someone can't be bothered to read, they really shouldn't be playing a role playing game.

On the other hand, if there was some form of New Game+, being able to skip long in game cut scenes would be nice.
