Quick Update (Patreon)

It's been 12 days since my last update, so I wanted to pop in and give you guys the scoop. I've been going through and creating a list of everything that will break save game compatibility between versions, and discovering that it is quite the list. A number of custom scripts get updated as I go (achievements, quests, etc.) and those need to be updated in prior saves in order to function correctly. Honestly, it made my head hurt a bit and I took a break from Aylia's Story for a few days. Instead, I got a bit more of Hunter's Quest translated, since I needed a bit of respite.

I can tell you at this point that save games will not transfer over between chapters 1 & 2, sorry but RPG Maker is just not that conducive for this and I don't want to delay things much further at this point. My short term plan is to release the final prologue to you all Friday/Saturday/Sunday this week. You'll be able to play through the prologue, see the battle system and minor improvements which will hopefully tide you over for a few more weeks while I finish up the artwork for chapter 1. Then, your save game from this prologue should work when I release chapter 1, so you can jump right into the chapter. This way, you get a bit of a refresher since the prologue was released last December, and you can hopefully offer some feedback on the battle system base (as you don't have much to work with at the beginning of the game).

When I release the prologue, I'll have a date in mind for the chapter 1 release and let you guys know. I also have a lore post I'm planning on putting up next week to keep things rolling. Feeling good after my mini-break and finished up a blowjob sequence of pictures this evening (you'll just have to wait and see who it is :-) ).

Thanks for your patience!

P.S OH! And thank you so much for your continued support, I broke $5,000 in pledges. I'm in my final push to get this chapter out the door and moving on to the actual pledged updates. Once that happens, I can actually take this full time and get this show really moving. Will be awesome, I promise.

What is the status of the translation anyway? Actually really looking forward to that as well.

Everyone aboard the hype train !

Jolly good work YT. I might get a lynch mob behind me, but don't you think its better to release the finished prologue with Chapter 1. It doesn't hurt to release it before the release of ch1, yes, but I think the more quantity of a game we can get, the better (depends on how much the prologue has changed). Still, its your decision, and I won't mind any type of release in the upcoming days to get the hype express on the tracks. Cheers, and may less headaches trouble you in your path..

Save transfers are overrated. There are multiple paths to take through the game anyway.

Sorry but I'm a little bit dissappointed in you for taking a break while not saying anything. Don't get me wrong, you can take breaks all you want, just tell the people that you're doing that. There are people here who check this almost every day, and cling to what you said in your last post. I just hate it when developers are silent for a really long time, and are then making excuses(no offense here) for why they didn't do much in that time, instead of communicating with their patreons. It just creates doubts about how well the project is progressing. Why risk that?

@Douriel14 why so harsh? compared with other patrons he is getting nothing wile working on the game. Basically you are not even supporting him yet - none of us do. He is 1 developer - doing this in his free time w/o any kickstarter . The developer wants to enjoy creating the game - and sharing it with others . Seeing words with huge negativity ( disappointment is a strong word) in comments it not just kool man. Not to mention the artist you "support" also does * Game translations and improvement of Japanese RPG Maker games.* - so please think before u post something like this.

Thanks for keeping things rolling! But prepare for the feedback machine... you've got quite a lot of supporters on this.

Can't wait and since we are not even paying for chapter 1 only chapter 2 and on we really can't say anything on how long it takes. We are getting Chapter 1 for free pretty much. Plus he said he work on the translation which is not taking break since he did say he was doing that to if you read his first page. I rather it be good then broken so he can get it out on time like some of the other people on this site.

Yea, I expect there will be a good amount of feedback. I love feedback, so I look forward to it.

Yes and no. I think with later chapters, especially 4 & 5, a save game transfer would be really helpful. But, I have to get my shit in order now if I hope to achieve that down the line.

Well, I just feel bad for taking so damn long with this. I usually go to bed a bit frustrated and wishing I'd had more time to work on the game. It is getting done, but man has it been a bumpy ride! Still, the end result is pretty cool I think.

I'd estimate about 75% done with the translation of the original game, and about 10% done with the new content. Those are probably more accurate than my Aylia's Story predictions as what I need to do is A LOT more clear cut in this project. 2-4 weeks to finish I'd say, if I worked on it exclusively.

something you could do is is that external file code I suggested for achievements work, you can use that for transfering information to chapter 2. not a great deal, but could maybe save 10 switches or variables for important events, like if you helped a person or not, or to what level of corruption you obtained previously (it could reset between chapters, but might alter some text, like her being embarassed she acted in such a way in retrospect) Anyway, point is that if you isolate specific switches for individual events to travel over, that should be enough. and then you just copy that file over to the folder for chapter 2. It could also be linked directly to the achievements stuff (ie, earning an achievement for each thing that would alter chapter 2)

As anxious as I am to finally play the game, reading your reply to Dusty General concerned me a bit. I'm sure as an adult you know the classic "the more you stress yourself about something the less you will enjoy doing it", but I understand that can be tough. Don't fret about a few weeks here or there! I think you made the right call in not giving any more firm deadlines. The whole point of not doing that was so that you didn't have to kill yourself reaching them.

Looking forward to the Hunter Quest translation. Hurrah!

I didn't want to be the first to say anything, but I've got to admit I've been anxiously awaiting its release.
