We are getting close enough to release that it’s time I start posting my checklist. I estimate the BBP’s first release will be in early February for chapter 5.

  • Finish updating the maps
  • Update all the shops
  • Add skillbooks and skillbook markers
  • Give special attacks to the enemies that need them
  • Update missing enemy portraits
  • Finish class abilities
  • Add paragons
  • Test run with dummy bosses
  • Send to testers for balance feedback
  • Implement bosses
  • Redesign Raibie Christine encounter
  • Send to testers for boss balance feedback
  • Release

Artistry

Chicken is currently slogging through the Petraiain emotes for Mei, and has finished all the reshading for chapter 1. All chapter 1 needs is the emotes for Mei and the gravemarker TF images, and it is complete.

Urimas, like always, is making sprites. We have a couple new enemies and will also need recolored paragon sprites. After that he is making icons for the new skills.

Koops is currently designing animals you can hunt in chapter 2. They are ferocious.

Hund is unemployed.

I got to spend this week adding abilities, going through hundreds of script files to touch up and rename things, modernizing the item files, and many other unspeakably boring things. At the current rate I might have a version ready for beta testers next week.

Artistry

Urimas is making icons for all the new stuff, Chicken is working on the remaining art for chapter 1, and Koops still has to get me one more enemy design (come on, Koops!).

Stinkehund remains unemployed 😦

I was out of commission for several days last week due to illness, but we’re back to work here and getting all of the enemies and abilities for chapter 5 ready to go.

Chicken has updated some of chapter 1’s shading, Koops needs to get me one more enemy concept for chapter 5, and Urimas is doing that thing where he puts pixels next to each other.

Coding and Stuff

We’re back to work here at Bottled Starlight. I am currently slogging my way through the very boring parts of chapter 5’s baseline, getting all the TFs setup, portraits aligned, classes made, and basic skills done. Maybe I’ll have it done this week, maybe not.

As far as art goes, Chicken is back to work on emotes and Urimas is getting me sprites. Koops has another enemy concept to go for chapter 5 and then it’s time for chapter 2 concepts.

Chapter 1 Guide Updated (Thanks, Klaysee!)

You know how chapter 1 has a bunch of stuff in it that you maybe didn’t know about? Well #1 fan and overall good person Klaysee wrote a guide for it, and now that guide is updated for the new version! Go look at it!
