God damn it! I knew taking like a year off this project would do me bad. ;( I have to totally redo the party selection system (all done with pictures/variables, none of this shitty character set thing) which is going to be a bitch. Well I don't HAVE TO but it will require a lot of tweaking, and since it's been so long since I looked at the code, it basically just looks like a huge load of mush.
There goes six squillion lines a'code. Dah, fuck.

Another update?
Holy shit I'm on a roll.
BASICALLY I found some notes in Gens 2 on a random map about what I should do for the Margan's League and yeah. I wrote them a week ago and only remembered them now! So the quest to come up with a new Margan's League is over.
Sorry dudes.

What? An update?
So the GW topic has been updated if you want to take a look. I wouldn't recommend posting 'cause it'll just be me coming in and saying YEAH DEMO SOON, NO DATE THOUGH GUYS. URL, though: http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=58329.0
So what's the status, you ask? Uh, that is a good question. I have been alpha testing lately to get a new demo out, but gotten up to Fantastique Home before realising I need to do some more work. I've worked on mapping out a full ship, and there's some events that go on there and they're more believable and shit.
Now I need some ideas, though. I need to reimagine the Margan's League, because a SECRET FIGHTING SOCIETY is stupid and ridiculous. I hate that section too, it's sloppy and... urgh.
I AM TAKING IDEAS.
If you guys can come up with a good idea for what I should turn The Margan's League into (and absolutely anything applies) and I like it, then I'll put it in the game and credit you heavily.
Thanks! :D

Back to work, ho-hum
Hidey-hody-heedy...hum?
Work's resumed on Gens 2 after a looooooooong break and I'm feeling terribly motivated to finish this fucker, so I'm trying to use this while it lasts.
BASICALLY over the last few days, I've been going over and redoing stuff that sucked. I completely remapped Tsubaki Village on Paraman (interiors AND the exterior; the mountain path to Elder Kiryai's... crib is still the same though, 'cause it's fine) and gave it some background instead of it being a shitty HEY HAVE A RANDOM SAMURAI VILLAGE, 'CAUSE SAMURAIS ARE COOL... which was pretty much my original line of thinking when making the damn place. Now it has a lot more background to it, Zandar's cooler, and holy fuck it looks a lot nicer. That's the main revision.
I also started planning how each character gets their Rahfest, which is cool, and K0LE gave me the thumbs-up, so even better.
REMAPPED AREAS INCLUDE:
-Tsubaki Village
-Hoddal Range (not in the last demo)
NEW AREAS INCLUDE:
-Magical Garden
-Sky Palace
Both these places are on Paraman and are optional dungeons. I intend on adding optional dungeons to the other planets when I get around to finishing the storyline for them (well, Ragdum's done, so I've only got Jarun, Narryl and Rendar to go (Kzar doesn't count)).
Also I've finally settled on an intro. Hurrah!
Onward to work on it again!

Gens 2 = cancelled
OK so I really didn't think it would get to this, but yeah. Consider Gens 2 temporarily postponed.
WHAT A DICK, you are shouting, and hell, I fully agree. I honestly thought I'd be able to stick this one through to the end.
The basic story is that I'm dropping all my creative pursuits at the moment; Gens 2, Twilight Dawn (next game) and The Ruby's Eye (novel). It's a bitch to drop them all, but at the moment, my life is just far too fuckin' busy to finish even one of them, let alone all. I WANT to finish this, believe me, but uni + general life is just too busy.
So, I'm delaying working on Gens 2 for at least three months. If you want, I'll give you what I've done of Gens 2 so far; I can't guarantee it'll be 100% bug-free, but it at least shows I'm not gonna up and disappear with half a project. This fucker will be finished one day; I've put far too much into it to not get a finished product. Yeah, you hear that shit all the time, but this time, I'm hoping it will ring true. :)
