Some of you may have seen Metall Ark's "Let's Play" videos about TerraEarth: Absolute. And if you haven't, why the hell haven't you joined the TerraEarth: Facebook Chapter yet?
Well I'm stoked about this, but watching it I notice something. It says quite prominently on the title screen "Part One of the TerraEarth RPG Trilogy." I had a while back said I was gonna scrap all other games related to terraearth but now that I'm getting such great screen time with my games I guess I'd better go ahead and finish the trilogy....

If you're willing to throw money my way, I can fix up some music for it. _________________

5 per layer per minute? You expect me to shell out upwards of $40 per track?? I know your good and are free to charge whatever you feel is fair for your work but that's way too rich for my blood. _________________ Support me on Patreon!

I've made a decision. Before I even attempt work on a second game, I really need to go back and de-beta TerraEarth Absolute. I know you guys may love the game, but as anybody who has played it will say, it's got a lot that needs work. There are game glitches, boring dungeons, half-baked sidequests and diversions and most damning of all unbalanced combat. I'm not going to divert too much of my time to this and I'll still be pre-planning TE:B during this time, but TE:A needs to be made a more consistent and enjoyable experience. _________________ Support me on Patreon!

Okay so status of the remake. Integrated a more effective difficulty setting which can not only be altered at will during the game, but includes an additional difficulty setting not in the original: Descendant. Ill let those of you that get the joke have a good laugh now.
Also including a menu based journal system. The items will remain but you will access the contents of any journal, books you've bought, etc.
More updates as they come. _________________ Support me on Patreon!

Ah yes, my oldest inside joke. How did such a stupid pun become a recurring trait?
More Updates:
Items: I'm going to simplify the categorization to only include a few categories: Items, Key Items, Weapons and Armor. I got way too carried away with Item Categorization and that made it really hard to find what you were looking for.
Logo: Minor improvement, but the logo at the start of the game is going to reflect the modern Soul Schism logo designed by Lenc.
Combat Enhancements: As I mentioned that is going to be the biggest thing I improve upon in the remake. My goal is that no two enemies will have the same attack cycle and status effects, elements and timing will play a greater role in surviving the battles.
Support Website: Because I have that much time on my hands I am bringing back the Absolute Support website and it's going to play an even better role in assisting you with the game and will practically be a virtual walkthrough.
EDIT: Here's a screencap, showing the new difficulty setting. You can also see a new feature "Internet" which will contain your online journal, guild journals, quests and books. I am considering bringing back the PM concept and incorporating that too, in which case I'll turn that into Inbox.
[YET ANOTHER EDIT:
Mini-Games and Diversions are the heart and soul of TerraEarth Absolute. And in that spirit there are two big enhancements in that field. One minigame is getting a fresh rehaul and a brand new Arcade game is being added to Southerta Island.
Fishing... now it actually feels like you are!
Yes, as you can see Fishing is now more than a boring as hell game of chance. Rather than buy your own supplies you rent the gear for a price and have a limited number of fish you can catch per session. That being said, the game actually looks like a game! Aim the rod, choose your power and let it fly... almost like... you know... fishing.
A New Arcade Game... what else could it be?
Do I need to say more? You can even choose the music.
I am also open to suggestions for things I need to work on, so please post them below. _________________ Support me on Patreon!
