Perhaps this is an old news, but i’m moving to a newly-formed Studio here: http://www.mintsphere.com/
Since i have another blog there, i rarely got time to update this one.

This development blog is officially closed. Thank you dearly for your support and visit all of these time, and see you there!

Pics drawn by VRES. Thank you!

What’s with the Foreveralone typical title? Well, nothing, i just have nothing to post, so~

Yeah, today is my birthday. Not a really great one, since it was at the same time of final exam >w<.

Ah, also no, i’m not dead yet. I hereby claim that i may be hiatus for some time, due to working intensively on a new, secret Project (small leak; an RPG). The old project? No, it’s not cancelled, it’s just set aside since this one is a big (BIIG) project.

See the picture in the left? She’s related. So see you soon! I will be back with a huge surprise… If i survived through the deadline >w<.

So… A friend of mine told me VA got featured and badges in kongregate.com. My instant reaction was:

“Haha yea i kno – e… eeEHHHH!?”

Yeah, didnt see that coming, considering it was released a whole year ago and there was many flaws in it. Still glad though! >w<

So… For you guys who havent got the badges yet (Or even you who haven’t played it yet… shaaame!), go for it!

Also, please forgive my slow development progress and hiatus ;_;. It’s not like i want to go that slow, i just really busy this year.

Disyndrome - v0.00000...1a

Sorry for not posting for a long time. Many thing (good and bad) happens. Also disaster.

If you remember my post about an RPG/Survival concept i made, we’re working on it right now. Well, it surely has some shape now but we still have much things to do.

Decided to codename the project “Disyndrome”, the gameplay revolves on cloning enemies to restock your party members, and such.

So far, there are 2 people working on this project. Me as designer, programmer, and composer (as usual) and Galathyna/Southerland as the artist. I have to admit she make great sprite and graphics work.

Hope this will turn good. I have many projects abandoned already <_<.

Anyways, Lucidrine’s member made a Valentine based difference game. It’s not me though, i myself didnt know they had a game project. So yeah, surprise, surprise! Well, here’s it:

I didnt put this entry in [Game Releases] category because, well, i wasn’t involved in any way of development. I somehow feel bad if im the one who release it haha..

===

Meanwhile, i’m still coding my small RPG. Oh man i really hope it will be done soon =3=

Anyways, this is a doodle i make somewhere in class (is super-bored), a design about Mini-RPG/Survival game where players can clone enemy unit to be their own party. We’re working in this small game right now beside of main projects as a refresher.

This time i want to make a game that can be played in minutes, not long in timespan, but can be repeated many times. Should you waiting for someone, or between class, or waiting for a bus, or anything, this game can be your saviour from boredom.

Hopefully it will be done this month or next month.

Now back to the code i go!

PS: You can click the image for larger version.

Year of Reisen! (...and Tei, basically).

It’s rather late, but happy new year all! How did you spend your New Year Night? I did great by roasting corn while watching awesome show of thousands fireworks with friends. Reminds me of a danmaku. No, really.

2011 is year of Rabbit. Also year of joy for me because of them line of awesome games from Comiket and the others.

I’m sorry for my hiatus last year. Havent finished anything outside of Valthirian Arc. Well i’m sure it will be better this year. Luci will make another breaking game! *is overconfident*

anyways CG beside is drawn by あきめぐ (Akimegu). I dont have any CG/update to display, so i use it here instead. Besides, i like the CG.  Udonge + FF7 Vincent, what can you ask more?

In this picture: First mockup of Brigade management screen. As you can see, you can customize your own brigade consisting 1~5 personnels. You can also upgrade, rename, see profiles, things like that

Also, you can see some Valthirian Arc design resemblance here.

Interface Art are still not fix yet, well it’s still looong way to go.

/end of this time’s update report, now to the code i go!

Prototype. Still.

Alrighty, i have to admit i only made a little progress so far… Rune Factory 3 is the one to blame. The game is so damn addicting it made eden untouched for this entire week. Same thing goes for Raide.

Alrighty what’s shown in the left is the early graphic of the game. Yes, map is still blank, Fortress graphics is still ripped from Starcraft (only for placeholder of course; we dont want a copyright infringement, thank you), Interface are just boxes, yada-yada.

College wasnt helping too. We got more and more task each day. Oh well, i’ll work hard to pay back those time i wasted in the last week starting for today… hopefully. *stares at DSi*

Anyways, like you see in the pic above, in the test play before, we can get 103 objects in the map (including fortresses and units) with 11 ms delta-time in rendering. What’s this delta-time? Well, to put it simply, 1000/delta = fps. So, speaking in human language, we still got 90 fps for the game. Still pretty playable for a hundred unit battle, huh?

Well that’s the progress report for now. Off me go!

Raide visited so we worked non-stop today at College’s Lab. (What? College labs are usually used to “develop” something right?).

Alright today i learned that making AI is ALWAYS a pain in the ass. There’s this bug i couldn’t solve. This bug made the enemies ignoring player’s troop and just walk pass them like they’re ghost or what. It was funny at first, seeing cute sprites become cannon fodders, then it becomes frustating because i have no idea why it happened.

After 1 hour of bug tracing, headache, keyboard bash, and a box of Pocky, i finally found what the problem was. It was only an “e” that was mistyped as “p”. One letter! And conveniently, “eunit” and “punit” was both exist and different variables. The code is killing me… <_<

Okay that aside, as you can see, we’re already work on the in-game Graphic. That loli in the left is “Recuperator”, your brigade’s private medic. CG is of course drawn by Raide. Design was inspired by Asian/Eastern spiritual clothing for maidens. You may reminded by a certain Miko, seeing her detached sleeves. Believe me, it was not intended =3=.

Alrighty, that’s all for today. Now that i solved that AI problem, i should move on. Into the battle, my fingers!
