Sidequests are fun.





In a few spots in the game, there are more than one way to solve one particular obstacle, some involving sidequests, some not. One of the side quests that's nearly completed is a dungeon for the thief that will grant you access to a thief only item.

Rather than be a traditional dungeon with monsters, treasure, etc., it is filled with various skill games and timing events more akin to the deftness of a thief.


Stop the cursor in the circles, and Mr. Thief is safe. Stop the cursor on an X, and Mr. Thief becomes Mr. Splat!


Look out below!


Once this is complete, there are only a couple more locations to finish up before the next continent is completed. Next I will be putting together the resort island that houses all of the casino type minigames. This will mostly consist of mapping since all of the minigames are already coded. I figure at this point the game will be about half done, which is not where I had hoped to be when the project was started one year ago, but is great all things considered (job, school, girlfriend, hockey, etc. are all such selfish time sinks).

Hard work is hard.



So, with the stability of a steady and decent job comes hard work and much less time for hobbies. The good news is that, in addition to being able to support myself comfortably, I have finally fallen into a routine with my new position and can start posting progress again. So with that, to the news!

BLACKJACK IS DONE! What a pain in the ass that was, too. It's finally done and working flawlessly, so the casino/minigame area in the game is that much closer to completion. More progress has been made on the main game itself as well. Below is a screen shot of the more calm area of bustling port town.


Sit on park benches... that's what all old people do, right?

Anyhow, it feels good to have progress to post again and for things to be finally settling back down to normal. I apologize for the delay between updates, but they should be reappearing with more regularity now!

PS. Dragon Quest 9 should be banned - what a production killer.

New Design!

The blog has been redesigned courtesy of my wonderful girlfriend, who will also be putting her talents to work for a new title screen for the game.

All the juicy updates to follow tomorrow after formatting of the new pages is complete. Things are looking up for Reminiscence!
