Updoot on things


Hey. Been a hot minute since I've updated on stuff, but we're back (sorta).

Do gotta first say thanks for the support since the last post. I think a lot of people really didn't (and might still not) realize that not every update or patch can be a massive content drop like 0.8.0 was. This whole thing has just been one guy working on it in his free time, trying to find that fine balance between quantity and quality. Even something as simple as a costume can take days to properly implement into the game.

I have been taking some time away for myself to focus on other things, so there's that.

That being said, I have been turning lemons into lemonade.

Progress on 0.9.0 (aka "The Monkey's Paw" Update) is coming along. I'm currently prioritizing work on the method of unlocking the characters, which is a lot more complex than the challenger fights people were probably expecting to be used... though maybe not quite as complex as making 4 different minigames. It'll be VERY obvious what I'm talking about once you're able to play it.

Think that's about it for now. Can't say I'll have any new content to show off soon, but I'll let you all know more when it's closer to release.

TL;DR- Not dead.

'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.

Turns out what the game actually needed was for me to take a proper break from development and enough time to realize what I had broken.

(It was the values tied to IDing what foe it'd be.)

It'll likely need more testing, but we're back in buisiness!

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.

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

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.

I might be having too much fun with this process...

Can it be done?

(Also, Happy New Year)

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!
