What the heck, Tuesday again already...!?
At least I got some work done this week so all those days weren't for nothing, ho ho!
The in-game results of expeditions has been finished, these are things like your troops showing up in locations currently being explored during the cooling timer and your soldiers replacing the Beldorian Forces at checkpoints you've taken over.
So, yes, this means the Imperial Manor can now be visited again once you liberate Grand Bridge.
Another thing I've been working on is some kind of way to let the player know when an expedition is active/over without it being intrusive or in the way.
Initially this was done as a pop-up icon during dialogues, which I scrapped since it'd be annoying having to talk or interract with someone, just to see if the latest expedition is done or not.
Next, I tried assigning a worldmap to a button, with the current status showing up there.
This was good, but...if I could do that, why not take it one step further by making this button press a kind of "Quick-Menu" instead where you can access the most useful inventory items directly, such as the Art Gallery, Encyclopedia, Journal and the World Map?
And this is where I am now, I'm experimenting with the Quick-Menu to ensure it works properly without colliding with other events or glitch something unforseen before it's approved.
Thus, that's all for today! See you again next Tuesday!
Sounds like a nifty (and good QoL) thing for the game. Looking forward to the next beta, personally.
ReplyDeleteOr a contact crystal which Black Dame uses to tell you the results of the expedition. She seems a rather perfunctory character, so her just saying "Success." in a pop-up window wouldn't be very intrusive. Though I do like your quick-menu idea, I just hope RPG-Maker can handle all of these improvements.
ReplyDeleteQuick-Menu you say, good that means there's a faster way to look at the Gabrielle scene, nice!
ReplyDeleteWill there be brothel mechanics later on like in LOQO II GE?
ReplyDeleteHow about new legendary monsters for the ice map ?
ReplyDeleteWill there be a "repurposing" of Laquaida's shrines after conquering?
ReplyDeletethere could be an added confession/counselling booth where freed priestesses "interact" with citizens (and Devon) to promote sympathy for the cause. when entering a freed city, one of the party members (Gabrielle, Mhu'Tiki come to mind) could also be assigned to "promote the cause" at a shrine. Or there could be a second Tavern Wench Challenge in/around the shrines "to promote the cause". What do you gus think?
cool
ReplyDeleteWhen next update release? This game have awesome storyline but the battle system (need to fix).
ReplyDeleteLate August (estimate).
