TE:A Release Schedule

Jason Tandro · Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:38 pm

Okay folks. The time draweth near. I haven't had an adequate copy for you all to beta, so I'm altering the release schedule a bit (though hopefully you won't have too much to report).

Saturday October 17th PRE-RELEASE -This is a complete version of the game, endings and all, but it's not bug tested. Beta, if you will.

Monday October 19th TERRAEARTH REMASTERED- This is a remake of the original TerraEarth RPG which has been Remastered to look better and have graphical improvements. Not the birthday present I'd hoped to have ready, but a decent one nonetheless.

Saturday October 24th TERRAEARTH:ABSOLUTE- Barring any major problems with the pre-release debugging this is the official release date to the public... but basically since I imagine a lot of you will want the pre-release version which should be relatively bug free, you're actually getting the finished copy two days early... so woo-hoo.

nice! i might wait til the pre-release to play it. and then i still will need to get me a copy of RPGVX.

ill also write up some lore for you, and get me some new face sprites, if its not too late. if it is, ill do it anyway, for my own purposes.

Face Sprites I'm afraid would take too long to change in every instance.. However Lore for your personal book would be great.

On that note if you all haven't gotten me lore for what will appear in your personal book (which I'm sad to say is a lot of you) please do so ASAP! I'll use other info about you in the meantime.

This lore can just be something you want to say, special info about you, or whatever you want.

damn. i had a really good idea for a face sprite. (re-skinned illidan model from warcraft 3).

as for the lore, i might start that tonight. oh, so much stuff to do... ive even put my FFX-2 on hold =\

Actually... I'm scrapping the lore for this game. Sorry, freedan, but I had to make a few cuts from the game to meet the deadline. The Lore segment was one, and I may be forced to cut the Trading Card Segment as well...

about the face sprites, wouldnt it be easy to just change the source file? like, replace it? any references made to it would be made to a filename and path, not a specific image...

You're a smart cookie, but here's the thing. Your face sprites are part of a set that also contains another characters face sprites, and even if I were to change the source file I would have to change the location identifier (which shows which expression to use in a face set) in every instance where you speak.

Don't worry, you can upgrade to badass in TE:B, but right now I've got a lot to do if I'm going to meet the deadline.

I'll tell you what I'll do. If you can send me the face sprites within the next couple of days I'll see what I can do for the Final version, but it won't be in the pre-release.

Uh... I hit a snag in production. My sendspace account is expired, so I have to renew it. Don't worry. The game will be available Monday night. I actually need the extra time to finish the incidental tasks, so it's kind of a blessing in disguise.

Aren't I funny with my making of deadlines?

I'm still ironing out bugs in the game. This sort of came to a head when I found out that I'd spend 6 solid hours of debugging on a version of the game that predated the first beta, editing monsters and such...

The game is coming and I know it'll be all the better for the wait involved.

I had just checked this thread last night, going "...wait, I didn't miss it, did I?"

Freedan · Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2009 9:11 pm Post subject:

I was just thinking a few days ago "I could swear there was supposed to be a game being released, or something...."

Now we know!

And knowing is half the battle.

EverPhoenix · Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2009 9:48 pm Post subject:

yeah, i was actually wondering about that too. at least i didnt miss it. so, is there going to be a complementary RPGVX with this version? you know, for the rtp only

But of course...

So....any news of the release of either of the games?

The Remastered TerraEarth has been out for a while, but my SS account is inactive. TE:A has been giving me problem after problem though.

It's coming, slowly but surely.
