Yup...! Final dungeon, last boss and canon ending, all done!
The last scene, and also considered the bonus one, is also finished with only the art to go with it.
Now I only have to work out how to add in the Bad Endings into that. x3
At first I thought of them as regular endings, but that would make them all impossible to obtain during the three playthrough limit there is, since there are six Bad Endings, two for each Egyptian girl.
So instead, you beat the last boss, get the "core" ending and then you unlock the ability to replay the final boss/ending as many times as you want, while also being able to trigger the variables that changes the Bad Endings, win for everyone...except Osira. >:3
And if I should make more different endings depending on your good/evil status, it does affect the canon ending as it is, so I might add bigger variations as the last thing I do, if there is time.
Personally, multiple endings are something I wish more games made use of - especially player choice driven endings. For me, it makes my choices more fun when I know they'll have an impact beyond the immediate. I really enjoyed the multiple good/bad endings in LOQO I - If I took the heroic path, I felt more heroic knowing there was a valid alternative. Likewise, when I take the evil path, it felt more satisfying to defy and turn on Osira at the end knowing that ending was a choice and not set in stone.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there's already at least 7(?) endings; should you wish to add more, I would not mind waiting! I'm intrigued what heroic/dastardly events may occur should I be an example of good/evil!
Mmmm, I sure do love me some Bad Endings. Also awesome to see that the game is coming along at a pretty good pace, January can't come soon enough.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, an update on my 34th birthday! =3
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad you're almost done with the game, that means less of a headache you have to deal with now. The rest, hopefully, is just bits and pieces and random things. I wish you luck, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Delayed happy birthday, may you dream of Farah! ;)
DeleteDamn! You're on a roll Gabe!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the multiple endings, so I'll try to be patient a little longer. :)
So anything added to the old content, or will we be able to just continue from our old save games? ^^
ReplyDeleteOh everyone will still be able to continue from where they left off, but the old content has been upgraded with a few things as well. :)
DeleteYEAH You are on FIRE! I hope you finish out with those golden flames of yours, Gabe!
ReplyDeleteReal happy and excited to see how things are going. Glad to have this blog of yours to keep checking
You rock, Gabe. Keep us posted because we are on the edge of our seats with how admirable you are putting so much into this!
