Hello~!  It's been a while.

Oh wow... How long has it been...? O.o PSO2NGS really took the slot. Anyway, Here area  few updates to what I have planned, starting with the Title Screen.  I'm a little nervous. Eheh.... Things changed a bit here, but for now, I'll do my best to present what small changes are coming for now. There's more.

Let's start with the Extras Menu on the Title Screen First.



There is an additional option called Database. This is currently in Development, and would be more reading into the setting of the game, and some lore about some things, such as big family names, locales, characters, etc.

Challenge Mode is gonna be renamed to Mission Mode later.

Survival Mode is probably getting the boot.

Now for another thing, when I select "New Game" from the Title Screen, as that's not changed yet...

Only Akiko is selectable. So that means I'm cutting Emil's side of the story, and the prologue. Some pieces of the planned extra stories will be flashbacks, so that means the main story, Akiko's story, is the only available story. And this little selection screen will be cut.

Let's look at the bare bones Database Menu at the moment.

Looks very simple when evented, eh?

From here, you can learn more about the game's characters, its locations from within the game, the races (humans for example of this), and as well as a families and bloodlines.

Each Section contains other sections, so If we select Races, then we need to select the race we want to know more about, for this example... Human.

And the database you'll be able to read. Something small I remembered experimenting with a fan translation of RPG Maker 2003, before the official translation and localization of RPG Maker 2003 became a thing.

Oh! One more thing about the Database Entries. Sometimes they can have Sub Entries, which are optional to read.

This is an example. You'll get the choice to read a sub entry to a main entry of the database or not. Whether you see these entries, or not, if another sub entry exists, you'll get the same prompt.

In all honesty, I'm rusty. My skills are lacking, but I'll see if I can get the time to do some of these again, probably when I'm doing a chore or something. Oh. and....

I'm thinking of overhauling some of the maps so that it's not all just "One Room per map" when it comes to indoor areas. That way, the building will be fully available, but will be on a "One Floor per map" basis instead of just one Room. I dunno. Debating on that and I may experiment with that too.
Of course, cutscenes will be separate from the main maps, as I haven't figured out how to transition from cutscene to gameplay easily yet. I'll see what I can and can't do with RPG Maker XP. ALSO! For the little elephant in the room...

Yeah.... I love my younger brother, and the fact that I can link Memorie with his project, I decided to cut out any false rumors about HIS own project, which he has an idea for and hopes to actually continue it.

That's pretty much all I got for now. I will be changing some things, as well as continue when I have the time. Maybe make a stream. I dunno yet. Also... I'll see if I can make the animation of "Press Alt+Enter to play in Fullscreen" faster. That's pretty much it for now. :3 Hello! I'm kinda back from "ghosting", I think that's what it's called.
