Hi. I got here from your DeviantART, where you were making the Hetalia Reflections game. I'm not sure how late I am or anything, and I'm not really sure where to find any other things from the game. I was just wondering if you might tell me how far along you are into the game? I'm just curious, and it looks really cool, even if it won't be horror. Games with 2Ps seem rare.
You’re in the right place friend!
Sadly I’ve come across a fair bit of issues while making this game and it’s pissing me off but I haven’t given up all hope yet. I’m still trying and planing to actually make some progress some day.
My main issue right now is that I NEED the full version of RPG Maker VX Ace. I made my “demos” with the free demo of the software and I quickly realized why I needed the full thing.
I started to read around and discovered so many things I could do with this program to make a really cool game, I was actually going to try to have a game you could actually play with monsters and stuff and you’d have to level up a bit if you wanted any chance at fighting the boss and all that, but the free version was too limited for my ideas.
Another example would be that since the story revolves around the 2p!’s coming from the mirror world, you would have to switch between the normal world and mirror dimension which would cost me a few scrip activators and you only get 10. 9 really because you need 1 to switch to the next room and what not. You have unlimited in the full version as well unlimited items, characters, attacks, etc.
Trust me if I had the full version I’d have at least 3 parts to this game out by now, since I plan to release it in episodic form anyway. I just can’t justify paying $80 to produce a fan game. I’m still keeping an eye to the software on steam though, apparently it went on sale for $15 once.
So for now there’s not much going on with the game, at the most I could produce a webcomic I suppose but I’d rather try my hand at an rpg. I feel bad about it too seeings how popular this thing has gotten. I went to a new school and stumbled upon some new friends, we had a conversation about HetaOni and I mentioned I had attempted to make a game in the past, once they found out it was Hetalia Reflections apparently they had been complaining about the fact I haven’t done anything with it and left deviantart, so that’s another reason to continue working on it again.
If any updates happen I’ll be posting it here and tagging it with hetareflect so if you’re ever curious about progress have a look at that tag. All I need is to get my hands on RPG maker full and this game is as good as back in buisness.
Alright, thanks for answering my question. I was really curious, and I hope that you can find a good Steam sale for it. The concept of the game as a whole is really interesting and original, so I do look forward to any possible updates that might occur. Also, thank you for the detailed and informative response, it really clears things up easily.
