The Name is still up in the air.

Another update on my current project that I spend too much time on. I reckon I am about, let's say 70% done with the building and such of episode 1. And yes, I have planned it out properly instead of making it up as I go along. Let's just say that Moki doesn't remain an Emo Kid for the whole of the series.

One of the harder things to do is to manage skills for party members. I have to learn to stop giving so many of them to people, just because they are cool.

Making up NPC dialogue is fun though.

And yes, I know the badguys are big... but I kinda like it that way. When you play old JRPG's like Final Fantasy 6 and Wild Arms and stuff, the enemies are much bigger than your characters. It kinda adds a whole, sense of accomplishment to defeating foes. I guess another area of game design where that applies would be WoW, where NPC's are much bigger than PC's. (Non-player characters and Player characters respectively).

Scale is...relative ^_^

Oh and along with Benson and Hedges, are two other Shadow Brigade Captains called Dunhill and Paul Mall. It's all about themes baby!

Very very early Screenshot!

So, heres a screenshot of the RPG I'm working on. I just recently got the Side Battle System working, after much hair pulling and hand wringing. I'm not very good at scripts you see. So I drew the baddies, a couple of those are custom sprites, and I'm tinkering around with the database of the RPG to come up with something cool.

I still don't have a name for it yet. Was going to call it Arpgia, after the country that it's set in, but now I'm leaning toward, Moki learns to Rock. The main character, Moki, is an emo lad that lives in a tormented land. Not just tormented by like, Blorbs though. There are shadowy badguys and such.

Also, I am really surprised at how well the character Arcturus is developing. He's a Spectre that lives in Mokis room, and if you finish off a couple of sidequests he'll join up with you. That opens up another sidequest to find the people that murdered him, and find out who he was in his life.

And! I need to get Lawrence to draw me some battlers (that's what you call the enemy sprites :P)

Like, some zombies...and cultists and such. Also, deranged lumberjacks.
