writer sent me the new boss fight texts, so I can do all the 4 vampires boss fights. I also spoke with him about finishing the whole script by end of year and he said could be possible. If that happens, this game should be definitely out first quarter 2018

and here's another background. There are going to be several for N'Mar Castle inside

Obviously I picked a screenshot with a typo. I was doing too good recently (no typos probably in the last 5-6 screenshots I posted), so had to compensate!

I don't presume to speak for anyone but myself, Jack. Back to me, let the writer take their time. I'd rather have a beautiful game that's well done than one that the writer rushed and....not feel right because the poor writer burned out on. If that makes any sense.

Yes for sure, that's one of the main reasons I'm not talking in public about the future games in the works

Anyway in this case there isn't really much writing left, so the time estimate I made takes into account writing the story in a relaxed way I think.

Yes I already fixed it in the game

Nootau, AKA the vampire clown
Haha the "vampire lieutenants" (each one is a boss fight) are really cool, each one with different design and skills. For example, you can imagine how Nootau is going to use his bombs...

coding the first boss fight, and it's the one with this nice couple of guys. Diego's Howlings are very powerful

started coding the second boss fight with Zephyr. Like in the first one, before the fight starts you can use some of your social talents to skip the first part / make the overall fight easier.
You'll be able to either defeat and kill the four vampire lieutentant or just "convince" them to leave

added the second round with Zephyr, obviously I used a placeholder but I need crow sprites. I like how each enemy so far has a different personality/strategy, Zephyr does little damage but hits a lot of targets at once and inflicts bleeding. Since you'll need to rotate your party members to heal them between battles, it's starting to be cool to play, you need to plan a strategy

Today finished the second boss fight, I spent a good amount fixing the script. Not writers' fault, but while playing I found some "inconsistencies", like in a quest you need to get a key, and then you could go back and fight the other boss vampires. The script was assuming you were still looking for the key

even if you already had it. So had to add several checks and a few lines to take into account this possibility. I also tweaked the social talents usage so it's more evenly distributed (not always the same ones).
Once again it's not writer's fault - you really need to code and playtest the game at same time to notice all those details

another new background, a nice gothic library inside N'Mar

you can find all time classics like "how to suck your blood" and "cure your long vampire teeth in a natural way"

coding the last vampire lieutenant boss fight today, and I think I might have exaggerated a bit

I can't beat her even in normal difficulty! Time to nerf her powers a little...

Not Adede, but all of her thousand spiders yes! Each one with a different CG ending!

Mmm, I dunno... Can we romance him/her/it/them?
