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!

Update

Hello Everyone,

Let's Get into it...

Sorry about the massive delay and lack of posts... Work has been a bit crazy and I'm all over the place.  I wanted to apologize to everyone waiting patiently as I am working on it as much as I can between work and other things haven't had much time to devote to it.

There have been a few people asking for a guide I will try my best to have it in the next release.  I really appreciate everyone's patience I am still here and still working I will try to get something to you asap!

In the mean time thank you for sticking around and I will do my best to have it out there for you guys soon!

Take Care everyone!

Whoa!

How's everyone!

I noticed a sudden boom on my blog... I have seen Holimate Stone appearing on various websites... sweet!

Loving the exposure... So as you guys know I've been drawing and working on the game... with my limited time... I've been managing both pretty well I think... Slow but pretty well.

Anyways I was reworking some of the functions in the game so I could make it flow better and get the events to fire properly pretty gruelling stuff but nonetheless working on it as we speak.  I'll have an update for V 0.4 soon maybe in a couple weeks. 

For now here are some Characters that I have drawn... thinking if I should add them in Holimate Stone or perhaps another project... Take a look and let me know what you guys think.

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.

What's Happening?

Hey everyone,

This post is to address some issues and points.

So it has been brought to my attention lately that some parts of the my game are hard to come by and certain events difficult to locate.

I need to have an event map listing what's working what's finished and what's in limbo so..

Events

Matsumoto - Bedroom night events finished - as her lust rises.
Matsumoto - Priest scene finished for now - as lust rises.
Matsumoto - Washroom events finished - as lust rises. - Sex scene not implemented yet.
Matsumoto - 2nd floor bar favors - not implemented yet.
Matsumoto - School events - All events are pending further implementation. They are in initial phases.

Jupiter Event - Finished - for the moment. - North East of Map.(At Night)

Guild Quest(s) - North House - 1 Scene Currently.
                         Garmasha House - Pending.
                         Quest 3  - Pending.

Aunt Minerva - No Events currently. Next build.

Cala - Events currently limited to favors - No Sex Scene - Complete Next build.

Teacher - Currently only money building event - Pending. - No sex event yet.

Veronica McCarnal - 1 scene currently. More to be added later.

Theresa Van -  Stops when treatment starts.

Random Encounters - They are just all over the map and are for the most part one timers.


What's to come?

Good question.

I want this game to huge! A big world to discover! I want their to be rewards as well for traveling to these towns so creatively it's hard to keep things fresh.  I want their to be a lot of stuff to do.  There is only one main thing this game is about.. The Holimate Stone... The stuff you can do on route to gaining the stone is what all the fun is about.  

Currently completing the events that are "open ended" meaning the ones that could continue forever and you get no reward.  I want to complete these before I start more and get lost in them.

Mechanically getting closer to a point where you guys will be able to use old save games.  Not the next release perhaps after that one (I'll keep you posted).

New Towns are already under development (Tundrund and Baalgrand) and Holimate storyline is developing as well.  New villains will appear and more characters will appear as well perhaps not in this release but the next one (I'll update you when I have that information for you).

I will be changing the naming system I have created.. instead of V 1.3 it will be V 0.3 because of the development phase by the time I'm done I'll probably be at V 5.9, so you can see I don't want that.

The poll has done well for me gaining some info on how many people actually like the game... so for now I will be doing at least a monthly update.

You can expect Build V 0.3 *Fingers Crossed* by this weekend or early next monday.

Thanks for your time everyone.

Keep it real!
