Aquae ~CCW~ [2-23-2011] ARC III-Facelift

[V2Blast]

Just wanted to say that the "progress bars" in your sig are awesome.

[Sakurazaki]

Erm...thanks? A friend did it for me.

So I'm having problems with beta testing as people aren't getting back to me quickly, but I'm getting SOME feedback which is always a good thing.

[Sakurazaki]

Currently I have 10(!) listed beta testers, however I'm pretty sure that 2 or 3 will not get back to me because they forgot they were beta testing or I can't get in contact with them. >.>'

Update:

For Arc II I just have to do 6 new character cgs sets...with expressions. But overall I think this will go a lot faster.

I have received some feedback so we are currently revising.

You see, again, that's your mistake right there.....you're assuming I'll eventually get motivated enough to get any work done...-_______-

[Sakurazaki]

Oh you will....*holds out the whip*

Currently performing tweaking. I have received enough feedback to move on to the final tweaking stage. Close to releasing ARC I folks.

We have added one more additional scene to make ARC I longer @ about 6,700 words in total. I am going to make some cosmetic changes to make the game look a lot more professional.

Sadly, I honestly think I rushed the art on this release, since I had a lot of panic attacks and other things going on. I'll improve it for the collective release, I promise.

Also if anyone has any tips on linearting I'd gladly take the advice....

Most of the character sprite sets for Arc II have also been completed.

Here's what we have to do for tweaking in ARC I:
-Fix text size -DONE
-Fix letter by letter (somehow I think I broke it D: ) -DONE, apparently it's a setting on preferences >.>'
-Fix sprite errors (like character talking when they aren't supposed to or vice versa) -DONE
-Grammar errors -DONE tried my best here with beta feedback
-Fix menu bgs for Load, save, and preferences-DONE, but I want to make it prettier and use imagemap
-Fix general bugs that will close the game -DONE
-Change the exe icon -DONE
-Obfuscating Images/Resources
-Creating README.file -DONE

I am proud to announce that Christofer will be helping us with the music. From the sample that I've just received a few moments ago, I am very excited at the opportunity of working with him on the Visual Novel.

His work will be featured in the collective release as I know that music can take a long time to compose, and we might have a lot of tracks to do.

Please continue supporting us as we slowly continue our trek with the cast and staff of Project Aquaria and Aquae.

Now I really want to play it...

[Sakurazaki]

Fixed the bg for menus, but I want to use imagemaps for options/loading/pref screens if anyone wants to help let me know.

Now working on sprite issues

[Sakurazaki]

AUGH SO CLOSE! I just need to archive all of this and then change the icon YAYYYYY!

[Rezznik]

Last background for arc i FINISHED. This is it everyone, we're adding a few final touches and then BOOM! Arc I ver. 1 complete!!!!

[Sakurazaki]

Currrently running into archiving and distro issues...Please stand by >.>'

[V2Blast]
