Back on business

Okay... The problem is now fixed and I can continue this project. Also I got another idea for the next game I'll do after this is finished. Basically it is a clone of PC-98 touhou games with Rika and Ruukoto as heroines (I already have and idea for the storyline but I let that be a secret). Graphics would use EGA-palette and music will be 8bit.

Major drawback!

Yesterday the power supply of my external harddrive broke. Well, I did search for a replacement just to find out that the broken adapter model is not manufactured anymore. According to the Western Digitals there is a company though that produces similar
adapters but the cost would be the same as buying a new external.

So now all the progress is frozen till I either buy a new adapter or cheaper external harddrive with the similar adapter...

Minor update

As promised, the demo should be ready for testing before the end of this month. I also changed the Comic-Sans MS to another font that I hope to be a bit better.

Here is some scrapped boss-art though. Link to the original image.

Progress speeding up...

Next week is theoritically the last week of school in this semester so I have more time after that to work on Winterheart... Currently all dialogues and endings are written and added to the engine.

Still need to work with the levels though.

And now for something completely different...

After long brainstorming session with my old friend - we came up for the idea of my next game... The game will be similar to the Etrian Odyssey by Atlus (current working name: Gensokyo Odyssey)... Instead of mapping the Yggdrasil labyrinth, players will be mapping Bamboo thicked, Forest of Magic and other vast areas of Gensokyo. 

Even the players classes will be altered to fit the Touhou theme... Instead of Landknechts and troubadours - player can select from Inabas, Mikos, Magicians, Youkais (Skills learned will determine wether youkai will become ghost, vampire, poltergeist or something else) and many others...

Also I have already written concepts for the guilds and shops... But currently I am working on Winterheart so Gensokyo Odyssey will wait until Winterheart is ready.
