\nIt’s still a work in progress screenshot, but looks already good!<\/em><\/p>\n

So… puns aside, I’m really digging how C14 is coming out! In case you missed my earlier posts (from past year) you can read more about the game here: http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/category\/dating-sims\/c14-dating\/<\/a><\/p>\n

In summary: it’s an otome dating sim set in the archeology world. And it features a cast of REALLY diverse characters. There’s a boy with a prosthetic arm, another with a cochlear implant, the nerd boy, and so on.<\/p>\n

The main story is already over 140,000 words! And the writer and the editor are still tweaking\/editing some later scenes \ud83d\ude42 so it will be another very big game, featuring a lot of scenes and funny\/cute\/interesting moments. If you’re interested in the archeology world you’ll love this, and if you aren’t… you might become interested after playing it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

What is mainly missing are some sprites, the ending CG images and a few things here and there, like some GUI buttons, a few minigames to tweak\/balance and so on, but overall it is in a very advanced state, as shown by the screenshots.<\/p>\n

\"c14datingscheduler\"<\/a>
\nThe weekly schedule screen, with a lot of different activities showing as animated chibi<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Now I know what you’re wondering… when it will be out? Well I don’t want to say anything to not jinx it \ud83d\ude00 but it shouldn’t really take too long (talking about the beta, the official game for sure won’t be out before this Autumn).<\/p>\n

I hope you’re excited as I am to see this game finally out!!<\/p>\n

Queen Of Thieves update<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week I’m also trying to come up with a new battle layout for this new RPG in the works. The idea was to make it more user-friendly, maybe even “mobile-friendly”, and simplify the interface. So far I’ve made this:<\/p>\n

\"newlayout\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see if you’re familiar with Loren\/SOTW battle interface, I removed the battle log at bottom, and you can toggle it on\/off with a button (the “L” button). If the log is turned off, you would see the selected character stats there.<\/p>\n

The idea is that I already display almost all the info directly on the portraits: attack (sword), defense (shield), hit points (heart), SP (star). The only stats not shown are speed and critical which aren’t so essential, since the movement order can be seen on the right, and critical is a percentage of doing double damage but can be seen in character’s screen.<\/p>\n

The skill or effect description would show on the left too, in the frame below the one in which the log is displayed.<\/p>\n

If you have any feedback\/ideas about it, I’ve made a thread in forums: http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3624<\/a> to discuss \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
