Weekly Update #4

Holy Cow! Its been a month?

Dang, time keeps on slipping in to the future! (Hope someone at least gets this reference!)

Anyway, about the game:

Game started getting funky with me with the HTF (Hunger-Thirst-Fatigue) system, and besides spending too much time on a single thing (because then we all know you get frustrated and unmotivated and possibly waste time!) I have began working on the Character Creation and Map (Technical side, not graphics) of Castle Rahkuin with the descriptions (copy-pasted in!)!

The Map is really easy and pretty much done (just got to make sure moving around 1000+ times won't make it glitch out!) but the Character Creation process is being a pain in the butt!

It's going to be a menu similar to Aika's TrapQuest, but its going to have the option to go back to the core menu and allow you to go back to the main menu to choose whatever order of character creation your heart desires. This is the thing, apart from the HTF system, that will be both the most important and hardest settings to program for the 'Release' of the game. Pretty much has soon as I get these into a non-buggy state, I'll probably release the game shortly after.

Why am I doing the HTF system right off the bat, before there really is a need to do it? 2 reasons:
1) I feel that if this is me presenting the game and all of its 'features', it should have all of the core mechanics in place to start to know if you guys like it or not.
2) This IS the tutorial area I'm making in this release, and the most proper time to teach you all about HTF.





I'll admit, I didn't spend as much time as I wanted to on it this week. I got side-tracked with frustration (which I had with the HTF system!), the release of H1Z1 (which is an awesome game! Totally worth the $20 right now, but you could also wait until it get out of alpha, beta, then releases to be Free-to-Play) and some Space Engineers with some friends!



Also, I see you all pushing that 'Begin your Journey' button! Don't worry, I'll let you know when :)  It'll be in the banner at the top and I'll announce it on TFGameSite. You'll know, it won't go under the table!

Unless, of course, you submit a Question for the FAQ, in which case you'll get it a few days (2? 3? I'll decide soon) before I release it to the public! Gotta love supporting a new game!


That's all I got for now! With that, I'll leave you all with a question of my own:



Does this sound more like an Alpha or Beta release to you?
