...Just with a different haircut and without the loveable, charming personality. ;3
If you don't know what I'm referring to, check out my Twitter for all those pointless express-without-thinking tweets we've come to love from the internet!
In more serious news, the story sequence taking you through Blackgard Stronghold has been all polished up by now and in a much more solid state than the rushed release. (Which had surprisingly few issues!)
A new set of weapons have been added to the inventory system and new skills have been tweaked to introduce the character who'll be teaming up and be playable in the next beta.
And while it might be too early to get hyped, I'm also currently experimenting to add animations during battle by the same artist who made the opening sequence with Kristallia and these new sets of battleposes.
If it works out well enough, I'll branch out and expand upon the mechanic, but for now the idea is to have summons you can call upon like in Final Fantasy games.
Mainly, I'm thinking of the powerful monster girls you can encounter, with the plant babe Roseus being first out as she is already in the game, but also the MILF harpy and the mermaid on the table for later as you encounter them...see it as a nice little bonus for defeating them!
And with that, I'll be back with you next Tuesday!
Love Osira <3
ReplyDeleteNow, if only she could give up on the whole evil thing and she'd be perfect :P
As has been noted and exploited by writers across all kinds of genres: Evil is sexy. As a fantasy, at least.
DeleteOn the nosey ;)
DeleteI'm just eagerly awaiting the game where she gets her redemption arc :P I imagine it'd take at least 3 games. One where she has to begrudgingly work with her family to fight a greater evil, one where she's on he fence about staying evil or mending the fences and rejoining her, and one where she finally becomes a true ally!
...either that or she just gets more and more shoved to the side as a villain so she becomes more over the top/porn oriented to compensate for her increasing irrelevance :P
Waaaait, you mean Osira isn't going to get the scheme-of-the-week treatment like all other beloved children's cartoon villains!? D:
DeleteI mean, I could totally see a game with a more cartoonish tone where she shows up at regular intervals only to in some lewd predicament every time she fails. Of course, this would just make my "save her from herself" urge stronger if a bit different :P
DeleteHmmmmmm redemption arc huh? Instead of greater evil maybe just a game where she takes a special interest in the protagonist and is tempted to reform and switch sides(or at least switch sides and tone down the evil a bit lol)
DeleteIm just waiting for the first oportunity to enslave her like i did on the first game, for now, i'll just play her games..
DeleteI am realy happy, the LoQOO is becoming a game soo beautifull and epic.
ReplyDeleteGood job Gabe.
Having funds to spend never hurts. x3
DeleteSupporting since early beginnings of LOQO2, and ya know what? I just love remembering how it started, from the basic RPG maker game, to one using its own resources. Music,Sprites...hell even tuff like "why not have a minigame...lets have a minigame" and there, trading cards and devils dice. Honestly Gabe, I'm far more content in throwing money at you for LOQO than wasting money on kickstarter and Co. failgames.
DeleteDo you still plan to put out a refined beta for patrons or save it for the next beta. Also, what process do you follow with making the maps, and especially the random NPCS/Hidden stuff? Your game is one of the few RPGMaker games that really feel alive to me, as in shit going on besides the things the protagonist is up to, as well as generally well made. What is your secret/process?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll probably put out a new beta once the whole Blackgard Stronghold sequence is finished.
DeleteAs for the "process", I'm not entirely sure what you mean...it's hard to describe how I think, but generally I make stuff with the mentality I'm never done, as I like to go back to earlier work, later during production to add in more lore and details that'll connect the world together from a overall aspect.
Now i imagine the monster girls are all like here's my number call me k after you defeat them.
ReplyDeleteO and any news on the Bal'Rana system? :P
"Speed Dial 69"
DeleteAnyhoo, I want to work on the Bal'Rana system but its likely going to take quite some work to finish it all off as I want to do that and allow for CG Scenes to be repeatable around the same time.
It will be in before the release of episode 3, but it might end up being one of the last things I do to ensure everything else is done. :3
O boy the phone bill is gonna hurt like hell! As for the bal'rana system oh well at least its something to look forward to!
DeleteI hope the polish on the story will have us get out of that sewer, and I hope Beatrix will be the one that’s teaming up with us and joining us cause it feels about time.
ReplyDeleteAlso, THANK YOU for allowing us to immediately save Beatrix from her predicament.
It was the intention all along. x3
DeleteYeah, it's kinda like someone else playing with your toys, right?
DeleteThough it's kinda sad that the urgency of the situation deprived us of another heroic/renegade choice when she was blindfolded and defenslessly shackled, hyak hyak hyak!
Let's hope we can at least go for the Oyakodon once we reach the frozen continent.
Another thing, I really liked being able to get a preview of the full CG scene in the beta, do you think you can do that in the future for CG scenes you aren’t able to finish in time? They work great as previews to get us excited.
DeleteJaht, squeezing three CG Scenes in a row into one location might be a bit of an overkill and make the lack of them in other areas all the more apparent. x3
DeleteOmegalock, that would indeed be a possibility when they have at least one CG style version done for it. :3
Aw, the shadow of her hand us grabbing her breast!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm jealous of an optical phenomenom, thanks Gabe. (._. )
I seriously hope Osira manages to stay more on the evil side of things this time around. In the last game, she was kinda forced onto the heroes side to to all villains having chronic backstabbing disorder.
She really needs to get her hands on some brainwashing magic to prevent that from happening. And use it on Sebastillion to NTR Opala hard. (`v´)
LOL! Maybe she already has some brainwashing, black magic? Although I suspect anyone under her spell would snap out of it once she runs out of "fuel". x3
DeleteWell, so far there has been no indication of that.
DeleteBut if that is right, the minigame section writes itself:
"Osira only has enough magic left for 3 minutes, kill all monsters in the area before she can mate with them!"
Or the other way around, if you grant us the irresistable option to join her again that marked the point I really fell in love with the first game.
I know I said this already in the previous post's comments but I got to make sure it reaches you.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like what you've done with Crayden as the villain. He's a cold, ruthless son of a bitch, but has his flaws (gets seduced by his sister... occasionally), and is actually competent and threatening. Only thing I'm somewhat not satisfied by is the mentor-student dynamic between him and Crayden that so far only got mentioned instead of being expanded on.
What I'm worried about is the final resolution to his character once his motives get finally revealed. I very much hope it won't be some boring stuff like "lol I was just evil/crazy/power-hungry."
Very intriguing character, and that's something, considering the female characters are where most of my attention should be!
I guess what I'm trying to say is Crayden best girl, let us dip him in magic sauce and turn him into a hot MILF PLEASE
DeleteThat's not even my fetish and even I think that's a hawt idea! (°o°)
DeleteI can see the post game options already:
Keep Craydence as your private pet
Make Craydance a public toilet as reperation
→Ship Craydence off to Eclipse for stuff and giggles.
Then where the heck are dem gender-bender fanarts of Crayden!? D:<
DeleteOn a serious note though, the mentor/student dynamic is indeed something I intend to expand upon.
Heck, from the protagonist's point of view, it probably wouldn't be a stretch to think a "heroic" main character saw Crayden as a father figure before the event that changed everything.
I love Osira one day I will a pin-up pic of her, even though she likes to be the Dom in the relationship its more sweeter when your able to brake her and turn her submissive. Also I am glad to see your adding more animations to the combat, I been waiting to see this for a long time now, if you seen some of those good quality japanese H-games they do a lot of elements to make those games fun. But sadly almost all those games are japan only where the western audience can't join especially if its a language barrier.
ReplyDeleteA Sebastillion summon seems appropriate, especially if Osira will have a boss fight, maybe bonus damage or status effect.
ReplyDelete*Insert weekly male homosexual content request comment here*
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm Sebastillion drunk screwing Kythe?(before iron spire of course) Not my kinda thing but 1 or 2 optional gay scenes in a game is ok with me.(just hope Gabe doesn't make em TOO easy to get cause I don't wanna get that stuff by accident)
DeleteWell LOQO pretty much asked you "Do you want the gay"? So I wouldn't worry about any accidental man meat.
DeleteBut you mentioning animal on animal, that a fucking awesome idea. I'd love even straight animal on animal, Sabastillion mounts a lamia or harpy or something and we get sprite action.
I would say Kythie and a Giga Lardo but not only is that sort of thing already done a few times in the series but honestly I kinda want Kythie to be exclusively for the main character or possibly part of some girl on girl action possibly INVOLVING the MC
DeleteQuick question. Are the monster girl summons also fuckable? If not, is it possible to make them so?
ReplyDeleteSo, I got the Beta over the weekend and although I've played up to the part where you get captured before saving and quitting (Since a certain CG wasn't finished yet) I also restarted with the international artstyle. (At least, I think that was what the artstyle that has CGs for both humans and beastman was called)
ReplyDeleteBut, my question is, has all the art been added in that version yet? In my second optional scene and the scene were you spy on Farah and the panther the artstyle returns to the Beastman artstyle. I'd like to keep playing and see more scenes in that artstyle, but if I've reached the point where there is no more of it I'll have to wait until the next Beta release.
Also, I noticed a mistake in the Gallery. When I spied on Layla in the stables before meeting up with Crayden, I viewed the scene with the international artstyle. But when checking the gallery later it was in the beastman style.
Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks for the update, Gabe!
The international edition hasn’t caught up with the other styles yet. So when you play the internatiomal edition and get to a scene that isn’t done, you’ll see it in one of the other styles. I don’t remember if Layla’s stable scene was added in the international edition before or not so I can’t tell you if it’s a bug.
DeleteI never really liked her, but she's the main vilain so you can't take her out.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to play less a "villain" role this time and more an "enemy of my enemy" sort of thing. At least so far.
DeleteSay what happend to the "go save opala or to the second spire" choice, still planned or scrapped? Sorry didn't really had time reading all the comments in the last weeks, and the scene with odidanias mayor rather suggets to visit the second spire. I mean, poor opala...alone and chased in LOQO:2's beginning, and now lost in that forest. Could it be shes kinda a dork with such stuff and keeps getting into those situations? ...and here I thought thats *snicker* Gabe's thing... xD
ReplyDeleteOoooh, a summon system you say?
ReplyDeleteCan there be a bonus summon where -once you've unlocked each of them individually- they all show up at once and go "Knights of the Round" on the enemy?
Possible new animations by the same artist that did the opening animations and the new battle poses? This sounds very promising.
ReplyDeleteThe artist in question is tentacle monster chu, correct? or am I mistaken on this? Either way, I can't wait to see if this pans out.
Still wondering, what will happen after LoQO:O is done? any new games planed? Or are you going to take one of those big breaks?
ReplyDeleteGabe mentioned the a bit ago that the next game would take place in the Savage Lands, so I'm guessing she's already got some ideas for what she wants to do.
DeleteWill we get more scenes like the fruit bowl with opala ?
ReplyDeleteYou know I just noticed if you look at shadow placement it kinda looks like she is using sorcery to grab her own tits with her shadow............. :P

ReplyDeletevery cool gab. 3 questions though y is osira the dark empress sort doing a michael jackson with the one glove thing (just seems odd to me but still very sexy). second will we be hearing anything more from that dude at the new start when u first leave the castle? i kind of what to hear more about the guy since not only was he named it seem the MC has some history with the dude. like he was a friend since he could pick him out. like u could have him meet u in bright stone or something. lastly that bit when the jerk (the big one) confonts u, his troops kind of suck at that point they need a boost im thinking make some called vets and later elites with boasted states and extra abilities would work. thoughts? i know i asked this but since we had what was this big "run like hell" bit but it feel like we could take no the jerks army very easy even if its all at once.
ReplyDeleteShe needs her own spin-off game.
