SPG Fangame Playthrough

Hey, so for people who don't know, I'm in the middle of working on an SPG playthrough. I'm hoping to have a beta version ready to play by November. C: In the meantime, here's a playthrough of the game thus far!

[spgfangame]

Playthrough of the game starts in twenty minutes at 10:45!

Be ready to tune in!

[spgfangame]

I'll have stable internet tonight... Keep your eyes peeled for a potential playthrough of the game so far!

[spgfangame]

Hey guys! I know I promised a playthrough tonight, but I got to the library late. :C

Definitely one either Thursday or Friday night. Stay tuned!

[spgfangame]

So some folks noticed during a playtest livestream that the manor should have an elevator... I have since added one. C:

[spgfangame]

I wonder what's behind this door...

[spgfangame]

Hey guys! Long time no see! I'm in the process of working on the game again, and there's some stuff I need! I need a sprite and face set for Walter Girl Carolina, a sprite and face set for Peter Walter VI, and a face set for Hatchworth! If you do either, just post them to the tag or submit them straight to the blog. Also, if you're interested in helping with music or ending/cut scene art, drop me an ask!

[spgfangame]

Guess what I've been working on...?

[spgfangame]

Are you going to be taking Walter Girl B out of the game? :'(

Sadly, this is very likely. I don’t want to cause any unnecessary issues, so B’s scene will likely be slightly redone so that she is replaced with C, and the dialogue will be altered.

[spgfangame]

Any update on the game that you could share? c:

Nothing much as of recent, I’m afraid. Due to certain events that have changed part of the game (I’m working on updating that) and incredible amounts of busy (I’m working on getting an apartment!) I haven’t had time to work on it at all. :C

[spgfangame]

I'd love to help with whatever drawing skills I have, but sadly I'm terrible at backgrounds and location drawings, and that's something you would need, wouldn't you?

Yes, sadly! ;n; But do keep an eye on this blog either way, because once this game is done I may be starting work on a sequel!

[spgfangame]

So I like REALLY want to give any help I can to this project, so what exactly do you need and how could I get it to you?

At this point, we're in the polishing stages, like going back and adding items that create special events and things like that. What I need still, though, are more ending screens, and screens for a small cut scene that precedes the game's ending(s).

The details are things I'd need to send privately, though, so as not to give anything away!

[spgfangame]

Hey, again! I asked last time what the approx. date of the game release, and then your computer said "NOPE." So... What's the approx. date this time? =D

At this point, I wish I knew. My life got really hectic because of the Steampunk World's Fair. The game IS almost done, though, and I'll probably work on it while AT the fair. I didn't mean for it to take this long, but having a full time job and working on cosplay, on top of my car dying and a number of other things happening in the past few months, have really eaten up my free time. :C

[spgfangame]

will this game be compatible with Mac?

Unfortunately not. :C I'm looking up ways to make it compatible, but as far as I am aware, games made on RPG Maker are only playable on Windows-enabled machines. I'm trying to find a way around this, but at the time I started work, this was the only program I had available to me.

We're not dead!

I finally got the maze recoded and everything is functioning swimmingly. Couldn't resist filling B's clearing with cats, though.

First meetings with the Walter Girls!

UPDATE!

WE HAD AN UNEXPECTED CATASTROPHE.

In the form of my computer corrupting a large portion of the game file while I was working on it. I did NOT lose most of what you've seen me playing through on the livestreams (I did lose a couple of Lil Steve hiding places and the recent creation of the forest, including the ENTIRE maze and fight sequence), but I was set back rather unexpectedly and at a greater length than I was wanting to admit to (I know you guys've been waiting so patiently).

After that happened, I didn't do any work for several days. It's the kind of thing that can crush your forward momentum, especially when you're so close to getting some endings in. I'm getting back to work on it today, though, and I'm gonna take my friend's advice and make backup files for saves after I change anything major.

Today I'm going to rebuild the maze, and if my internet holds up, I'll do a playthrough tonight. I'm really sorry for the setback... I had so little left to do! ;A;
