But everything I've seen is great so far, except, of course, for the battle system. And, I'm not sure if this is actually a problem or not, but I could only seem to control Vastale(?) in battle. Maybe I just didn't scroll down to the others or what. Not that I needed them, considering Vastale was able to handle everything.

One of many problems in the battle system... it doesn't mention that you press right/left to control your other party members.

Well, I got a bit further, but I'm not really sure where to go next, or if there even is a place to go next. I got the groceries and her dad's gift, but can you even go to the cafe yet?

Cell phone shop. It's on the left. You take the bottom entrance.

Thanks for your comments.

Ah, I see. I did see the sign before, I just assumed it was closed, for some weird reason.
I finally made it to the end, and now I have even more questions. Like, why Weapon did what
he did (I won't mention it, since it's kind of a spoiler. I guess) , and that "police man." I'm not
sure, but from what I saw oh that "Unknown" at the end of the part with the Virad (his hair, for one),
I think they might be the same person. Except, of course, that they seem to be acting differently.
Hrmm... I guess I'll just have to wait until the next part. Argh! (patience is not my strong suit)

On another note, I noticed what may be some mistakes. The old man in cellphone shop seems to
make a grammatical error. He says "We was" instead of "We were." Also, the placement of the
lamp post along the short street leading to the cemetery seems to break up the flow of the street.
Maybe id you made it wider or put them both on the same side. The sign in front of the cellphone
store also seems to fall into this. Maybe if you had some sort of sideways facing sign or placed it
somewhere that didn't block the steps in front of the house.
Whatever, just some things I noticed.

Regarding the old man, that was intentional. And thanks for the advice about the placement, I'll take that into consideration for the next demo, which I hope to put out this month.

[Sailerius]

Added several new pieces of fanart. The second (and final) demo is in progress and might be done by the end of the month. Expect new screenshots soon.

[kyle1234lee]

Please finish it....I would love to continue this...

anyway, does Auria really Die in the story? I mean she was killed in the last part of the Demo...

I really loved the story plot, and I love the town mapping..nice work!

It is also full of action!

Don't worry, I hope to have another demo out by the end of the month. ^^ And I'd love to tell you, but I'd hate to ruin the surprise. Stick around a couple more weeks and find out!

[kyle1234lee]

hmm, this game has lot of mysteries unrevealed..hehe.

anyway I will wait for the next demo you will have..

[Sailerius]

First of all, I'd like to show off an awesome new piece of fanart by ebenaventa:


And also, a screenshot showing the revamped battle system:

Expect the new demo by early to mid April!

[kyle1234lee]

Wow! Beautiful fanarts! and Nice new battle system! I can't wait for the next demo. Goodluck!

oh and anyway, is the story going to be extended a little bit in the next demo?

[Sailerius]

Yup! There'll be quite a few new scenes added in, as well as a new town.

[Ankh]

Cool, a new in by April, huh? I'm looking forward to it.
I've seen that battle script around the forums before. Never tested it though. It'll be fun to see what it's like.
And that fan art looks awesome.

[kyle1234lee]

Cool! I can't wait for this, By Mid April would be nice! I really liked how the new battle system fits your game Salerius

Oh and Ankh, I think your'e talking about Charlie Lee's CTB right?

[Sailerius]

Yeah, it's Charlee Lee's with some small modifications, such as the reaction system. Additionally, I'm making it so that each skill has at least one use.

[Sailerius]

Couple of updates. First of all, I'd like to announce the opening of EPIC: Contention's official site: http://projectbc.wordpress.com

Secondly, two new pieces of fanart.


The second one is too big to paste directly in here:

[Sailerius]

Two new screenshots to show off! They're of May Hill, East Naven's third and final neighborhood.


Resting after a long day of shopping.


The fence that kept the world out.

Cool, more art. I don't really like the first one, but the second one... whoa. It's awesome. The watercolor-like coloring was done really well. Not only that, but the lighting adds a certain feeling to the piece. The way half is in light and the other half is shadowy and her expression makes it seem sort of... not sad really, but definitely emotional.

The screen shots are also nice. Thought they don't really seem to show off anything really different. Of course, they're in that first town, so that makes since. Anyways, good luck with the work.

EDIT: *face palm* Dur, I forgot to check out the website. I feel like an idiot. Anywho, not really anything new on it that I can see, but it looks nice and organized. I noticed the user bars, though. I'll put one in my sig.

Wow a Web!

and Nice new screenies! although the first art of Auria edith makes her look kinda old woman, but it's nice!
and the second is promising!

Looking forward on the next demo!

[Sailerius]

Thanks for the kind posts, everyone. ^^ I was hoping to have the new demo out Saturday, but it just couldn't be done. Expect it either tomorrow night or Tuesday afternoon.

[kyle1234lee]

I wish it was tomorrow night, .hehe.
