New Game's Progress

[Deleted]

This is mostly for my own use, but oh well...

The first draft script (movie script-like) is done up to a key point with some scenes thereafter. The second draft is done up to half of the intro. All the members' introductions are done, as well as the lead antagonists.

Gameplay Planning is mostly done - equipment halfway and enemies bare bones.

On RPGM2...

Members almost done
Usable Items almost done
Battle System/Formulas almost done
most set-up almost done (thank God!)

Order of Operations...

Battle Formulas
Enemies' stat set-up
Turn Order set-up
Equipment set-up

Meanwhile...

Finish second draft script of what I have of first draft script
Finish Gameplay Plans

Wow. Sounds like you're getting the whole game engine pretty much mapped out, and soon all that will be left will be story and game events. Good luck with your continued progress.

Yep, and now I'm there. ;D

I forgot about this topic. Anyways, I'm done with ALL the set-up, still working on the story, and extremely close to having a playable+video demo that I know will blow people away. I could release it now, but I'm gonna make it a little longer first. Expect much more unique characters, a way better plot, more well-balanced characters, more perfected game mechanics, better graphics, and better sound from this one.

This all sounds very promising.

You know, I like to play early demos.

Not hinting anything but just saying...
