I have a very long weekend ahead, and weather prediction is not all that great...



If it is called "beta", everyone should know what to expect.

Yeah, first version of Loren had still a lot of things missing and was full of bugs

There's also the fact that this Friday Planet Stronghold should be out on Steam as well, so... fun times ahead for me obviously if there are any issues with PS I'll need to check that first.

The new main menu could be ready in time, so will see how things evolve today. Also, I need to optimize a bit since the beta is 160mb and a bit too big

Give me combat! Fuck your pretty menus

Oh, pretty menus are ESSENTIAL for a RPG!!!!!!!!!!

More like, certain guys from a Steamy place might be looking at the beta already so, want to make a good impression

so some random vapour producers are allowed to sneak peak, but we - your loving customers (*ahem*) - are excluded? bah!

No no, they'll see it when I make it available here and maybe they won't even look, I'm not sure, maybe is just wishful thinking on my part

Assuming Steam still has Greenlight at that time frame, you might also announce it there so you could release it officially on both at the same time.

For big games you camp at midnight to start playing, here it's just hoping to happen upon the forum when you had the whim to release

I'm waiting for the new main menu which artist promised to deliver before end of month (so, today!). However, I'm still working on the game, I'm beginning to do the battles of 2nd chapter even if I still don't have the tileset artwork, so when those are available I'll have the battles already done and haven't lost time

I also had to go to vet for cat emergency (nothing serious but needed a medication to an injury). But anyway I'll say this: TOMORROW the beta is out, with or without the new main menu. Tomorrow afternoon my time, so about 16-18hours from now

Yay!!!!!111







Here I come!

Myself, I would rather be massaging Althea

So, I think the main menu was worth the wait. This is a zoomed detail:

going to add more effects now

oh wow that looks absolutely flawless there's no way it could be made any better!!!



don't even add buttons to it just let us figure out which parts of the image to click for new game/load game/options etc! IT IS PERFECT!



What I'm trying to say is release it already P

Yes I was thinking to put invisible button, and let the player guess which one is "quit game" and which one is "start new game"

Jokes apart now going to code it. Anyway even if I release the beta, there's still time to wait before the other chapters are ready (need 2 more tilesets and they take time) so don't think that the final game will be out in the next 1-2 months
