Edit: I'd like to apologize. Seems like a lot of huge bugs popped up. I'll be fixing them over the weekend. Really sorry. :(

The game is pretty much done. Just finishing up on the effects, sound effects, help file, and achievements (If you think of one let me know :) ). I need help with testing again before I look for sponsors. Please let me know if you are interested. I have reset the tester permissions, so if you were a tester please let me know again if you would like to test this version. I will prepare a short survey for feedback.

Hey! Finally released the intro for my upcoming game along with a mini trailer. Check it out:

Hey! So I'm just posting to let you know this project is still alive. Sorry there have been no updates lately. It's just going really really slow. Voices are now in the game, most of the main cutscenes are done and there are also new music in the game.

Here is what is left to finish:
- Main Cutscenes (~90%)
- NPC dialogues (not started)
- Music (~70%)
- Sound Effects (~20%)
- Effects (~15%)

Skill trees will have blank nodes now. You will have two choices on what stat you want to level up.

The fourth character was also redone to make him look more evil.

I'm also working on tutorial screens as well.

Hey! So pretty much all of the people I've been working with for additional resources have been really busy with IRL jobs. There have been no significant updates this past weeks. The game will be delayed indefinitely. Really sorry about that. :(

I've been trying to improve the game while waiting. I have redone some icons and npcs. Here are some of the significant improvements along with some of the icons in the game.

Intro is done, but we are trying to add a little mini trailer for the standalone submission. We are going to make a full trailer after that.

Game is almost done (I think). Work needed to complete:
- Optional Quests, enemies and bosses almost done
- Still missing some icons. Mostly on spells.
- Music and Sound Effects
- Battle Effects
- Some voices
- Dialogues and cutscenes
- Help and minigame tutorials

Feedback and testing really helped. Thanks again to the testers.

Update!
I think we might delay the game a bit. We need more time to finish some of the resources in the game. I thought we could do it this week, but my estimate was off. I would like to apologize.

We might finish the intro movie eariler this week and we will submit it to newgrounds and youtube by itself. Watch out for that! :D

For now I will continue on and find bugs with the gameplay while the resources are still being made. The game will be updated along the way.

For last week, we made a lot of progress a lot of the critical bugs were fixed. There were also a lot of icons added in the game.

Thanks a lot to the testers for the feedback and reports. It really helps a lot with the progress of the game.

Hey! I will start testing today.

I currently call this Alpha testing, since it still has a lot of missing features, but the main gameplay should be intact. Debug tools will still be in the game (cheats). This will enable you to explore the game and basically play it on GOD mode. Once the progression is tested and other features are added, I will go on to the beta testing phase and all debug tools will be removed.

A little warning: This is not a demo. This is still an unfinished game. Saves will be wiped and might get corrupted. The aim for this testing is to speed up the development of the game by helping me find the broken/missing parts so I can fix it. If you want a full experience, I suggest try waiting a few weeks until most of the fixes and features are implemented.

Hey! So I think the game is going to be ready for the beta phase next week. It's still broken and has a lot of bugs, but I think the main game is playable. If anybody wants to help me test the game next week let me know. I don't think I can test everything by myself.
