Okay, Yell at me if you wish... I was actually working on Celestial dance this time. I've been working on the graphics and art as well as the music of the game, but I have been working. First, I'll explain what happened and then I'll get down to business. I can't update daily, though I'll try. I actually will try to meet my weekly goals, but school is difficult to juggle with updating daily, programming, working on the game, composing, drawing and you name it. So I'll do my best. On Monday and Thursdays I am currently unavailable because of Kendo and Tai Chi, but I'll try to work anyway.
So here we go. This is the update you deserve as to why I dissappeared. 1. WHERE WERE YOU?! 2.WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING MY EMAILS?! 3. Progress with the school system 4. My school work and how it helps Celestial Dance. 5. Art and music progress and news 6. Events and programming progress and news 7. Art and Music Goals for the week 8. Events and Programming goals for the week 9. Goals for the month 10. Confirmed Characters for the game UPDATE: Some game characters are being removed. #10 will say the characters that will appear in the game for sure at this point. The rest is unconfirmed. 1. Okay... okay.. I admit I was a little lazy for the past months. Actually, I was really trying to get the courage to come back on, but I'm back and I'm going to update as much as I can :) So basically, I've been working on the game, just not updating. 2. I've read all my emails, BUT I'm actually going to respond to them after a little while. I only have time to write this... that's about it... I promise I'll get back to you as soon as I can! 3. The school system is my main focus for the time being when it comes to programming. I'm working on middle school and the lessons in grade school. The main thing I plan on focusing on this week would be the lunch time aspect. That includes the foods, events and the activities during the lunch period. Right now, the middle school has gotten to the first day. The teachers a jerk just a heads up XD 4. On the topic of school, I have actually been taking Java lessons. Unfortunately, My game uses Ruby. The good news is that Java and Ruby have some similarities. Now that I understand the basis of scripting, I may be able to write my own custom scripts ;) 5. Okay, so... Art and music. There are a LOT of pieces I've attempted as far as music goes. There are only a couple that have turned out. One I am working on is 'Swimming Koi'. It's sounding decent... I don't know if it'll make game music... but... So... about drawings and art...I am currently redrawing child Andy and drawing a couple more. I actually took drawing lessons in January online. After one lesson... My art improved 10 fold. I promise that these faces will be better than we hoped for ^_^ GUESS WHAT?! I'M GETTING A GRAPHICS TABLET :D That'll make colouring a lot easier ^_^ 6. Okay, so the school system is once again the main focus and the events are basically surrounded by there. I've developed the lunch system farther and wrote some lessons. My next steps will be to work on some special festivals ect. I really don't remember what I updated last so... I'll keep that vague. I promise that some magnificent progress will be made this week and will be updated as much as I can. 7. Art and music goals for MARCH 26th 2012 1.Complete music for the childhood events- Due by Friday 2. Draw Child Andy and Gage-Due by Sunday 3. Take another online drawing course- Due by Sunday 4.

I understand that this is a touchy subject, but I have been touched by an eating disorder in various ways whether it was through a friend or first hand. The only thing really mentioning any eating disorders in this is Anastasia's event. even so, it's mildly hinted. Theme: Anorexia Character: Anastasia So our update will go like this today: 1. The newest facesets drawn 2. My bad... +fix 3. Fishing/Mining/bug catching 4. Maps this update 5. 'If he is my world, then what IS a world?' 6. Your special treat (apparently your second one) 7. Added foods 8. Midnight's message 9. My message ^_^ 10. The mining in detail 11. Site updates 1. So as my life drags on this summer, I've been playing a lot of pokemon and harvest moon. A little inspired by harvest moon again, I began drawing (I was away and I didn't feel like working...) and my little cousin comes up to me begging for a character. He has a low voice for a kid... TRUST ME. So even though he may sound like a teen, it's goon enough. I drew Ace, his character with him. He's the age of Tori, Pearl, Onyx and Roxie and is the future love interest of Tori. He is a non-stereotypical skater and he is kind yet can be a little off at times. Other than that.. I've had to restart Max. It didn't go too well with him... 2. Do you guys remember the codes I gave you last update? Well.. I did two things wrong with them. The first thing I did was forget to update the page and delete them... And when I finally did delete them, I managed to forget to copy them down... SO... I fixed it! I'll put them up for another three days and keep in mind that these are different codes and they will give different items. SO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN GET IT! Get it here! 3. Fishing/mining/Bug catching is right now being worked on. If you have your tool equipped, you can easily catch a bug or a fish or even get an item from the mine. It's being worked on HARD right now... Next to scripts for the voice actors (Which is annoying me right now) I'm needing serious help with that and drawings... Anyway. I'm currently trying to draw the bugs for them to fly around. I'm wondering what I need. Dragonflies and butterflies... that's all I got. For fish... I don't know much about them. I know about Salmon, rainbow trout, halibut etc.... but only from playing harvest moon and animal crossing and eating fish haha. As for mining, I've been working on the map and just mentally sketching it out. The rocks will contain items such as scrap metal, gold, silver, emeralds, daimonds, sapphires, black opal, white opal, fire opal, amethysts, rubies.... and the list goes on. I LOVE ROCKS so I know XD [Editing from the time I started post] Mining system has been completed. Like Harvest moon AP, there are two types of rocks. You get different items per rock and unfortunately, I had to somewhat use harvest moon's refining system. More on the mining system will be below. 4. So the only important map I made is the Mine. It's currently being worked on... Nothing special. There is now an added doorway which leads to the deeper mine where you can find flowers, a place to fish and another passage which is blocked by a rock. 5. EVENT: Anastasia opens up about her feelings for her twin brother. She says that her mom always told her that Andy should be Anastasia's world. Anastasia begins to question what a world is, because if Andy is her world, her world is a living nightmare. soon after, she admits that she loves Andy but wishes he could pay more attention to her. She says that she enjoyed the fights between her parents and looked forward to their divorce because she believed that she would be with Andy without the interruption from that 'stupid man'. Anastasia begins to cry saying she wants her brother back. She confesses about her starvation and she wishes that she could take it all back. She only wants her brother back. 6. So.... this treat it's not so great... >.< It's a really sloppy drawing I did of the characters. I SWEAR I will do better for the face sets... but I'm a terrible artist either way.... It's the poster for CD and features 4 of the main characters of STT. It will appear in the game at some point, but I figured you guys could take a look at my fail... Andy didn't turn out well, and nor did Max. They'll look better in the game. This was a speed drawing and a quick colouring too. I personally love Gage. He looks so awkward in this picture ahahaha Yes this is hand drawn XD I'm loving Max's slippers XD 7. I've added Sushi and more cakes for Kuroneko :)
We've also made a few more fish dishes and meat dishes as well as some veggies :D 8. Midnight told me earlier to thank Kuroneko... but in this message she's just got some stuff to say. "Thank you everyone for your support once again. Just if you'd like to know, I'm back on part time to shift the tide, and I'm doing the drawings for the items while Roxie is doing the face sets. Sorry for the short message, I've got to go. Later, -Midnight." 9. YAY MESSAGES FROM ME! To Jabari: Yeah, I'm sorry... I've been writing and WRITING it for ever. It's sooo difficult. I should have it done soon! Annnd Kuroneko: -DONE! Just for you ^_^ Birthday cakes, chocolate cakes... we have it all XD - I really do! you're the inspiration I have to keep going! It's nothing special! -Hahah Good ^_^ - I'm still editing it, and I'm going to wait until I have a few done to reveal them. But I promise I will :D - I KNOW! His life is really sad, and it gets worse, but he still manages to smile ^_^ You can marry 4... tough choice, but I'm sure you'll get through it! - It's not as sweet as some girl's voices... I don't like it. but thank you ^_^ You'll be hearing a lot of it! Thank you ^_^ - Thanks again ^_^ And Jabari is Tristan's voice actor XD - She didn't have time to respond, but she appreciates it a lot ^_^ She's been SO BUSY. She wishes she could respond, but she can't. She's decided to slowly come back on the team, so it's great! -Uhh you're going to hate the face sets... they're terrible :S 10. Mining is a simple task that will get you far in the game with money... if you're lucky. There are two types of stones: Crystal And Stone In the Stone, you can find GOLDORE, COPPERORE, SILVERORE OR NOTHING. In the Crystal, you can find RED ORE, BLUE ORE, BLACK ORE, PURPLE ORE, GREEN ORE, WHITE ORE OR NOTHING For the Crystal, you have a 50% chance of finding something as for the Stone, you have a 3 in 5 chance. However, these ores are worth next to nothing and them being sold won't even get you an ice cream cone. You have to refine them... unfortunately the chances of getting something worth your time is fairly unlikely. If you get a gem from the ores, it is guaranteed that it would be worth a fair bit of money. What you will see is three slashes which will smash the rock. The rocks will reset each time you enter the mine area... hopefully... A video of the bug catching system, mining system and fishing system is going to be up soon <3 11. As you can see, our logo has been updated... I think we're better off with this one for now. I'll be making a new one later. On the current header, the girl you see there is the current version of Alice's sprite. Using a template, I drew her hair and her dress... I'm working on it... I'm a terrible spriter and artist. That's it! Later guys! ~Roxie |
