So, it's been nearly a Month and there was no build, but that's because I have decided to put it all into one big patch making this the largest update L.o.S.S. shall ever recieve! However, tons of personal life issues have came up and it was just tough times and had no motivation to even open my software, however, I've finally got my motive back and something to keep me going! I should be working on this fairly regularly after this month passes by, I will work on it here and there before though so don't worry everyone!
I'm sure all of you have some questions, so I'll answer a few of the obvious ones;
Q: Why patch it all in one Build when you originally made it into parts to get a steady pace going?
A: Because of more Content for you all, it will feature the new mechanics I've showed off while introducing some new ones such as Skills, Unison Attacks, and more! There will also be brand new areas to explore, right now that is my biggest problem is making these new areas and once that is finished, I'd be 75% complete with the O.H. update!
Q: Why DID you change it all in the first place if all it does is bring stress?
A: It's not a big stress deal for changing, it's more of what is easier to work with while also giving great gameplay and story to go with it. It's tedious, mostly since I've changed the games' Story and Mechanics over 5 times over the years of making it, but now, this is the final change I am making, it's Universal and I hope the community will enjoy it.
Q: Are we getting close to the Beta Release Builds?
A: Yes. Once Overhaul is complete, that is every mechanic in the game all ready to go. Graphics, Story, Gameplay, Side-Stuff (for fun), and maybe more? So this update to L.o.S.S. is the Final Alpha Build before moving onto Beta Builds.
Q: Cool, Beta is coming! Does this change the version number?
A: I'm still debating that, I'll most likely do a Poll if people would prefer the number to be reset to B.0.1.0 or be B.0.7.0 (Since Overhaul is A.0.6.0). However, either way, I'll also need to debate if I should leave the final Alpha on the page and start a new release separate. In which will be a separate Poll.
Q: You had mentioned Multiplayer, when is that coming? Final Release? Beta?
Multiplayer will have to be Privately tested during the Beta Phases. It will be a long while before releasing a stable build. Unfortunately it will have to use software that uses LAN across internet, like Hamachi or anything similar to connect to each other. It will also be a whole separate game from L.o.S.S. which means it will not be in the Main Game.
Hopefully that answers any questions most of you will have, if there are any other questions feel free to ask with a comment in this post, I'll respond as soon as I can!
With all of that said, I'll be working hard to get this update out within the next month or two, I can not guarentee a release date just yet unfortunately, but I'll keep you all updated on the progress of it! Maybe when parts are finished I'll update here saying "THIS is finished! Now to do THAT!".
Anyways, thank you all for following Legend of the Sacred Swords and its development! ~ LawrenceindaSky
