Progress Update on the Mess


Hey, all!

Obviously been a bit of a chaotic week hitting at the code inbetween shifts, but I think/hope it will have paid off.

The upcoming build will be soft launched as a Public Test Build to start off, and I'll give it about a week to see if it's in good enough shape to keep alive.

Truth be told, I've only been testing the updated battle code against a certain final boss and I'm pretty sure I now have no active playtesters to reliably fall back upon.

(One of many reasons I may actually try reopening a Discord group at some point.)

Other than the uncertainty of the battle system, everything else I've mentioned and worked on has gone surprisingly smooth. Music now carries across all saves, I figured out why the time wasn't saving properly, and I even added some extra time autosave features!

Still doing another pass over the character-specific events to account for the psuedo-complex revive system, but the majority of it is up and running.

Guess we'll see if these changes work when the PTB drops tomorrow.

'Till next time!

Still deciding if it's worth committing to a full rebuild, but I at least figured out a better way to handle the party swapping mechanic.

This whole "making a new battle frame" situation does give me an excuse to add some things I had been putting off for far too long.

Can it be done?

(Also, Happy New Year)

Still have to address a few tweaks to layering and test some other sidequests, but I think that we're back on track again.

Pretty safe to say that Possy will be increasing the price of costumes to compensate for this recent development.

While I chip away at the code for XL, I might as well show off the fruits of another thing I had tinkered with: modding custom music into Bionicle Heroes.

Suppose it's rude to come back doing polls without showing some sort of progress for it.

I know it's completely unintentional, but I swear this is the universe trying to convince me to dig my old handiwork out of retirement and do something with him.

Got a (mostly stable) demo ready for the occasion!
