New Game - Update - Sample

Good Day All,

As I posted earlier I am currently working hard on a new game… I have not titled it yet, but I will have something soon.  I have drawn a lot of the art already which is all hand drawn and as I mentioned before I will be setting up a Patreon I don’t know what “Extra Perks” I will be offering for higher tier Patreons, but I will work on it.  I hope the art samples I have been posting garner more interest in the game.  

The game is not at even Beta yet which is fine for me as I do this in my free time.  Once the Patreon is set up I will have a more guaranteed schedule so that Patreons do not pay for nothing.

In the mean time I hope you enjoy the samples and continue to visit the site.  I’ll keep you posted on news as I get there.

Thanks for staying tuned.

I will be back... Soon...

Good day all...

I'm just dropping in to say Holimate Stone is done... I won't be moving it forward... But I am currently working on a New Game and will have something to show for it soon...

I will set up a Patreon for it... so if you like it please support. 

I look forward to the coming weeks....

Stay tuned for updates.

Sorry for the absence....

Absense and Status

Good day All,

I'd like to apologize for my abrupt and long silence in regards to Holimate Stone.

As many of you may have come to the conclusion... I will not be updating Holimate Stone anymore for the time being.

1. 1) I don't have time to create this game any further... Currently I am working 60 hours a week.  No one's fault or problem.  This game doesn't make me any money and I need to be able to feed myself.
2. The game takes way too much to actually get done.  Between sifting, sorting and photoshopping images there is too much to do for a single person.  Dialogs and bug testing aside.
3. The game hasn't garnered much interest to begin with... there are a few people who like the game judging by the comments I'd say about 12-15 people.  I mean this in the most respectful way possible that I can't very well go crazy to make a game that's not more widely popular.  I really do thank you for liking what I was creating. 

I am sorry to let you down... I may work on it again... but for the moment I am just improving my art skills while working 2 jobs. 

Stay tuned to the blog for updates when I do eventually create a new game and hopefully I can get paid for it.

Take Care Everyone...

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....

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.

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!

A Principal can still learn!

Check out the progression of art... Personall I think I'm getting better... what do you think?

The first is day one!
Second Day 2
and the third one I just finished.

Day to Day

Hey everyone,

Well I have absolutely zero feedback from this new release so far... That's okay I suppose everyone's busy doing their own thing.  In any case I'm still working on the game.  I've slowed down quite a bit so far...

I am going to be working on my own CG's for awhile... I have some skill in drawing and coloring let's see what I can do. 

I have a Wacom Bamboo Tablet and just acquired Manga Studio... The learning curve is pretty difficult so far and I haven't made much headway yet.  I hope to post a drawing soon to show you guys what I'm up to but at the moment I just have chicken scratch and doodles.

I am looking for feedback like what kind of trouble you may want to see the character's get into and I'll do what I can with the CG's I have borrowed and when I feel I'm good enough to draw my own I'll get those mixed into the game.  Feel free to Comment here... I'm also at the following forums if you feel more comfortable there.  The links are on the bottom look forward to hearing from you all.
