Oh my! Another year over, and FCotW2 is still not even close to finished. How did THAT happen?
Well, to my defense, these last few months in particular were pretty grueling work-wise and didn't leave me with much time or energy for game-making. While the development of FCotW2 is progressing as planned content-wise, it hasn't been as fast as I'd liked recently. Needless to say, it can be quite depressing when I don't manage to hold some milestone, even if it is an arbitrary, self-imposed one. My New Year's resolution is therefore to not give any further time plans regarding FCotW2, as tentative as they may be. Until further notice, my motto is "it's done when it's done", and fingers crossed that that day isn't too far of!
With that out of the way, over the Christmas holidays I DID make progress: I scripted further puzzles and dialogs and drew more NPC walking animations. There are still some days of vacation left too, so I'm sure I'll get more work done.
By the way, if you are interested in AGS games (and why would you be here if you weren't?), I can warmly recommend Heroine's Quest, the newest game by Crystal Shard. It's a highly polished, thoroughly enjoyable full-length adventure game in the style of Sierra's Quest-for-Glory series. I didn't complete it myself yet, but what I have seen so far is truly spectacular. Best of all, it's completely free! So if you didn't give it a try yet, what are you waiting for? Go and download it!
With that, I wish you all a Happy New Year! See ya in 2014!
