Life!

Good day all,

I hope everyone is well...

Currently I am still working on a new update for Holimate Stone...

In the mean time I am looking for part time work... so job hunting is taking up a lot of my free time...

I do not have the means to support myself with my current job alone so I am looking for work... Not your problem I understand... but that being said Holimate Stone is absolutely not making me a penny... I have hopes for one day to make a game which if the game is good I could set up a patreon for.

But for now it is what it is... The update for 0.6 will be ready as soon as it is ready and that could be up to 3 weeks/ 1 month...

Hope that works for you guys...


Take Care...
Enjoy the weekend!

J.C Character

Good day...

Just wanted to know of any feedback on 0.5 and if anyone liked the new CG's of J.C theft character they are drawn by me so I just wanted to know..

Would love to hear any compliments or criticisms...

0.6 will probably be at least a month before release.. and I will start working towards endings of the game... 1.0 will probably be the end of the development for me.

I've been running this blog just over a year now... 51,000+ views and many comments later... I'm still a novice to it all.

The next game I make will definitely be entirely my own CG... I'm not sure what I want to do with that yet... but I hope you guys stick around for it when it comes..

Thanks for your time...

Enjoy Mid Week Madness....

It's Ready!

Good day all!

Happy Friday!

So I have added a few new events... I will be bug testing tonight after work and as soon as I'm done I will be uploading the game.

This is not a very large update but an Important one.

I have been saying I wanted to do some of my own art and put it in the game...
Now I can say I have... The character will be in this version of the game...

I must say I'm a little excited I hope you all like my art.

The character will become a party member eventually but for now one "big event" is present in the game.

Done some bug fixing from the previous version Wedding papers and Principal's Coin have been fixed look to the Walkthrough and Download Tabs tonight for the updates...

I have a 12 hour work shift today... 11 to go.... So I'm predicting a 5-6 hour window for game work....
take this time into consideration now and start to check in 17 hours....
That sounds stupid I know but its the best I can do...


Thank you for your time!
Have a Great Weekend!

P.S
I had a comment today that wanted to know who the artist is for a specific set of art....
I'm thinking of posting a page with the artist names... and track down their selling venues...
Since I won't be taking any money ever from you guys maybe you could support them since they really made my game possible..
Just a thought I had... 
 

Coming Soon!

Good Day All,

Been quiet for awhile with posts and I have been trying my best to answer all questions and comments happening on this blog... I like that there's finally people commenting I guess that means I'm building a small fan base :D.

I will be posting 0.5 next weekend I want to give it you guys by friday hopefully with new events and I will be adding one of my own CG characters in it look out for her... and tell me how you feel about it in respect to quality of art.

Till then have a great week!

Bug Fix - V 0.4.1

I've done a bug fix for minor image issues and events.

Your current V 0.4 saves will work so just copy and paste into new game folder.

Sorry for the bugs and thank you to all who have pointed them out for me.

Enjoy

Happy Monday... I guess.


P.S - I've started using Mega instead of Google Drive for the moment since I believe Mega is more universally used.  Don't want to use both since it takes alot of time to upload plus bandwith.

You can find the new link in the Download Tab.

V 0.4 Is Out!

Hey all,

V - 0.4 is now ready

Please report any bugs you may encounter and I will fix them as best I can.

I went through it myself but I'm really drained at the moment so I may have missed something.

Anyways enjoy!

Link is on the download page
Also see new walkthrough page.

You will need to start fresh! Sorry!

Also will be updating the walkthrough page in the coming days... any questions please ask there so I can see them all in one place.

Mechanical Complete!

Good Night everyone!


So the mechanical is all done and reworked... Again!
Now I am confident that V0.4 will be out in the next couple of days...
Pending my playthrough... Bug test!

To note why this took so long... I had many different events tying up valuable resources... I need the resources because I can't code etc etc.... You've heard me say it beore... So with the workarounds I've implemented in the game now I have freed up alot and can continue this game further without many problems.

You'll need to start from scratch maybe I'll include one of the saved games I'll have from my playthrough so to give you a head start...

That being said the walkthrough I'm working on that to release with the game... It's alot of different events in 3 different towns... yes you heard me town 3 Tundrund is now going to be fully active and explorable and not how it was in the last release... there will be atleast one major event there and a couple small minor ones for the moment.  Some of the current existing events have been furthered aswell... so look to the walkthrough or ask me here... and I'll be happy to oblige with any help I can give.

Stick with me now... the release will be here I'm hoping for you to play by the weekend.

It's been difficult to manage the game with my job being so terribly demanding recently... it is currently passing midnight and I was working on it right up until I started typing this post.

Well boohoo.  Anyways enough sob story... Hope you guys enjoy

Stay tuned!

It's Still ALIVE!

I'm still working.. and it's working I think... but I'm not happy because there's not many new events and not a lot of furthering on existing ones...

The world seems barren so I'll give you a proper update with a walk through rather than a small update which everyone will fly through in 20 minutes.

Look for it soon....

Happy Hump Day!

Issues

Good Morning,

So my reworking has hit a few too many bugs... I'm back to trying to figure out how to fix them... sorry again for the delays.

I understand if everyone now is really frustrated with my work quality and how slow I have been.  I want to apologize and hope that I have some good will with everyone to bear with me just a little while longer while I sort this all out.

I'll let everyone know more as soon as I know.

Take Care everyone

Future!

Hey all,

Don't worry I'm not wasting time...

I'm moving into bug testing V 0.4! That is correct!

This post is however not regarding just that!  Many months ago I had said that I wanted to start another game with my own drawings and original characters...

Well I had been drawing alongside working on Holimate Stone so I thought I'd share some of the new characters I had drawn up.

Well enjoy and look for the update in the coming days!
Let me know what you think of the characters aswell....

Thanks and hope everyone had a great weekend!

Update

Been Awhile everyone,

First off I want to apologize for the quiet period.

I was hard at work in both RL and Gamelife... I have reworked most of the system... and freed up some resources... I still have to bug test to make sure everything works accordingly...

That being said I have added more events... just a few as I could sneak them in to the game while I was reworking it...

This probably doesn't count for much but... 2 - 3 weeks and 0.4 will be out there for everyone I don't know how much more content I can add by then but I'll try my best hopefully that's good enough...

Walk through will definitely be in there for everyone wandering around in the game trying to figure out what's what.... also will hopefully have some kind of placeholder text to end events that aren't completed.

till then...

Have Fun!

Amateur Hour!

Sorry guys!

I wanted to post this sooner but I know whoever is frequenting my blog is waiting patiently for the game's new update so I'll tell you the problem that I'm facing!

I went through RPGmakerVX ace resources way too quickly.   This is where my amateurism really shows now.  I used way too many of the built in switches that I need for events and triggering and etc. and I'm re-working most of the mechanics since I can't code at all.

Sloppy on my part and I am really sorry.  I have been working on the game but recently my RL job has been kicking my ass and I have intermittenly been fixing my past mistakes with the game.

I'll definitely give you guys a walk through with the next release with completed events and how to achieve them. 

Some have asked for a hard deadline... but I don't know could be a month before I've completely reworked the events so I can free up some switches and not have game breaking bugs.  I don't want to do that to you guys where you play and all of sudden BAM! Game Destruction!

So in short I'm trying and I'm really sorry for the delay!

Have a Great Day everyone!
