The results are in

So, it seems that the fans have spoken. With an overwhelming vote to an orgy, I wonder why I even questioned what would win. Also, it seems that Dark Kimberly is the winner of the character vote, followed by Kel'shiara and Kitayanna. Poor Kimberly was in last place. Then again, she has been in three scenes already. Now, to plot exactly what the scene shall be.

Next sexiness

So, looking at the last update, I know there wasn't really much in the way of NEW content and I apologize for that. So, once again I turn to you all. Who should be in the next sex scene? What kind of scene should it be? I'll be posting a couple polls.

Release 8-3-13

Well, here is it. I know it's been a long time coming and I'm sorry for that. Can't promise it will get better cause I'm a huge flake and issues for me come a go. But as I have said before, this project will NEVER be completely abandoned. So now, on to the meat and potatoes.

This release sees the addition of a few things. Most notably, there is now a mini-map in the upper right hand screen. O.O I know right? Also, Kimberly sprite has been changed back to the original that I made for her. Not much in the way of new gameplay, through a few new scene to the end of the last release. Also, TRAILS! I'm working out the fixed world map movement and adding in trails to walk. And in those trails... RANDOM ENCOUNTERS! I'm still going for the fixed level up, so the only reason is to kill the monotony of walking long trails. And for all those who spammed buying stat up items, I increased the prices of them. Sorry, just thought it needed to happen.

An apology

So, I just wanted to take some time to say sorry to everyone who has waited and waited with no word from me. My life a crazy hectic and my ability to prioritize my time is 0. Put all my skill points into my Gaming stat. XD

Seriously though, thanks for those who keep supporting me and giving my little bits here and there, reminding my that people actually like this game I'm working on. I honestly think if I didn't have that to push me along, I would have given up on this like everything else I've started and dropped.

Saturday marks a new release. I'm sure there's still a few bugs in it, but I'll work those out as I keep going. Running a playthrough and even still, I miss some typos and grammar bugs.

Talking, still no action

So, here I am again, just a small update on how the project is progressing. I have begun the long and arduous task of removing all the forced walking from city to city with a more RPG style of walking paths. No more forced moving from city to city on the world map. Little by little, I hope to add small but important things such as this to make the game feel less like a visual novel and more like an genuine RPG. My life has once again changed but now I am worked a more normal 9-5 job with weekends free. I've earned it DAMMIT! XD

Anyway, enough of my ranting. I hope to get these maps done soon with a few small side quests to bring some life to this game.

A new face

And so, with the arrival of the Dark Path, here arrives a new party member. The Mistress of Corruption herself, Kel'shiara.

Name: Kel'shiara
Race: Tanar'ri (Succubus)
Age: ?
Height: 5'9"
Bio: One word describes this demon: Lust. Not just lust of the flesh, lust for power, lust for wealth, lust for more. She is never satisfied with what she has, there is always more out there for her to take. She loves nothing more than corrupting the very minds of the mortals she comes across. After nearly a thousand years of being locked in a cave in Illian, her powers have diminished, but a few souls and bit of human essence will bring her back to her old self.

And the winner is....

-drumroll- Dark Kimberly. And here she is taunting Kimberly over her victory.

And as such, I will be spending most of my time working on the Dark Kimberly route for a while. Both paths with receive some work, but the focus for now will be the dark path. I will get back into my groove in a couple days... if my new 3DS and Fire Emblem don't consume my soul.

Nearing the end

So with only a few days left in the poll, it really seems like Dark Kimberly is going to win. I set this poll up because I wanted to see which story path I should really start to focus on first. I'll still be working on both, but I wanted one to really put all my thought into. Both of their goals are the same: Revenge against Renualt and Lady Blood Blade, but it's the story of how they develop and see through that goal is what I think will make for an interesting story.

Random chatter

So the poll is half over and I see that Dark Kimberly has a slight lead. You all really are twisted. XD

In other news, not much work  has been done lately. After a release, I like to take a week off to look back at what has been done and get an idea for where the story is headed to next.

Small Update

Here's the new update. Couple things fixed that could break the game, Kimberly's skills returned, and a few small grammar errors squashed. That's what I get for rushing to get a release out before I completely test it all the way.

Fixed, so I think...

Okay, so after a run through, I think I've found all the issues that were brought up in the latest release. Odd side note, my game bugged out and I couldn't use the cancel/menu button, even after resting the default commands. Only after beating my keyboard senseless did it finally work again >.< really weird. Any case, I should have an updated link tomorrow. And wow, is Kimberly useless in this without her sword skills XD

I screwed up!

So, I just found out that after a few edits, I completely removed ALL of Kimberly's skills. Luckily I had a back-up of the game on a flash drive and was able to place them back. There's also an issue where if you talk to the girl by the came in Illian the game will freeze because she's trying to move to the side, but can't because you are in the way, and you can't move until the event finishes, so, yeah. Until I update the build, talk to her from the front. I'll have her move to the left instead. Changed the map a bit to keep you from blocking her. I should have the updated build by tomorrow night.

Release 1-17-13

Wow, it's been a long time since I've released something. I think this is the start of a more frequent posting though. I've learned alot over the past few weeks just by toying around with the program on how to effectively make cut scenes. I can now move multiple characters at once. I also added in a new intro scene for flavor. This marks the start of the branching Good/Evil paths. This will double my work load, but also help keep things fresh for me, not always working on the same thing all the time. Enjoy everyone. I didn't get to the bad ends, but I think this makes up for it.

Proof of work

Just stopping in to show some proof that progress is being made. Here's a few teaser shots of  "Dark Kimberly"

As you can see, Dark Kimberly is not amused by the lack of a release. XD

A Sudden Spark of Inspiration

So, I've decided to go into an interesting route with this game. I am currently working on a branching story at this point. There is a decision to be made that will allow for a good path or an evil path. So far, I have shown that Kimberly is a kind and loving person, but she also carries in her heart a deep anger that can get the better of her. I don't want to give anything away, but a major decision in how the game pans out from here on in will be included in the next release. This will help me to regain my interest as the creator as well, as I will be taking my characters in a new direction.

Not dead, just dazed

So, I know that I haven't really done much in the ways of, well, anything really. I've been transitioning between jobs and it's been a rough couple of months with bills, so my priorities were elsewhere. Thinks are starting to smooth out and I'll have time to get back to work on the game. As it stands now, there will be little in the ways of fleshing out this game, as I am planning to move on to VX Ace once I finish with this story arc. The characters will be the same, just think of this game as the prequel to something bigger in the future. I have always viewed this as a way to introduce the characters and to tell the story of Kimberly and Kitayanna. Arian and Shakira have grown their own special place in my heart as well the more I work with them. Expect to see much more character development in the near future.

Release 6-30-12

Here is the latest installment. I've added some new things here and there, added in a few giggles moments between characters. If you haven't seen, the upper level of the castle is now accessible. A bit more life to the world in general I think. Also, added the first few steps into Aliran. Don't expect a warm welcome into the new kingdom. And finally, a new sexy scene at the end. Enjoy everyone. I should have at least one Bad End by the next release.

Bad Ends

So, with an overwhelming victory, it seems Bad Ends will make their way into the game. I cannot promise they will happen right away, but I now see that people want them. I'm open to suggestions, so if you have any ideas, I might just listen to them.

Progress on the game is slow right now, as I am taking a needed break from working to look for REAL work.

Release 5-27-12

Release 5-27-12. New music, new scenes and a new party member. Wow, my creative juices are flowing now. Old scenes updated and new sprites in a few places. A few typos killed and grammar fixed in most places. I'm sure there's a few left I haven't found yet. >.<

Bad Ends?

So I've has some people ask me about bad ends. I know some games use them as little events after losing to key events. I've toyed with the idea, so now I'm leaving it up to you. Do you want to see bad ends? Want to see that pesky Rogue Knight get what's coming to her? Want to see Lady Blood Blade dominate those blasted interlopers? Vote now!
