I've seen it now! Thanks!

this morning was surprisingly cool, so was very productive
As said before, I am "only" having six equipment slots in this game: head, chest, ring, main,secondary,ranged weapons.
I am also going to add several new item icons I've commissioned like the fire bow Phoenix above.
Of course lot of stuff is still work in progress!

Phoenix Bow looks awesome; wid (PHILLY-Speak) the spikes it looks like it could be used even as a melee weapon, maybe as a stabbing and/or slashing thing. That'd be cool to see!!!

Also, will there be legendary kinds of weapons specific for each character like in LTAP and SOTW?

[jack1974]

Yes in addition to some items that could be used by more than 1 character, there'll be specific weapons for each character in the party

[jack1974]

finished coding the item comparison panel, I think should be quite clear as it is now

[jack1974]

recruitment screen finished

and "town screen" too. I'm going to have more variety of activities you can do in each location vs Loren. There will still be the various city tasks to improve Fame (in this game I used the term Reputation) to get discounts in shops.

Today was a very fresh day here and I was 200% more productive than usual as you noticed!

The term here should be spelled "Capital" since "Capitol" refers to a building in a city.

and "town screen" too. I'm going to have more variety of activities you can do in each location vs Loren. There will still be the various city tasks to improve Fame (in this game I used the term Reputation) to get discounts in shops.

That sounds fun!
What kinds of activities will there be, or is that still up in the air?

Also, I've noticed there haven't been any gems or anything like that. Will there be things that can be sold as pure profit in this?

[jack1974]

Thanks will change that
The activities are the ones listed above, then if you choose training you'll be able to pick a battle with different enemies to grind for XP.
Since this game plays in a limited number of days, at least you can grind as much as you want each day (so hopefully people won't complain too much like they did in SOTW).

There are gems and other precious things you can sell for profit.

progress has been very slow in past days due to some personal errands and the INSANE HEAT that arrived even before than usual (in past years was only July the crazy hot month, this year already from half-June was >30°C every day!).
So I'm only doing simple stuff like new items design and layout tweaks. I think I have enough things to do an alpha demo but at this point I'm thinking to make a longer demo, including some of the first storylines/quests

Insane heat at > 30°C lol, here in Texas from the first week of June until the first week of September is always over 30°C (86 Fh) it's normal for every single day in August to be 40°C or over (104 Fh)

So basically, stop being a wuss and get to making those games!
