Main update is on forum thread.
Progress is coming along nicely, I can't belive it has almost been a year since I started on this project!
New screens are to come! Keep watching!

Updated on 05 Feb 2010

Got the ball rolling now, we have got several character introductions and the re-written script calls back a character from the prequel! Once I get all characters' move lists done for the demo and finish up the Orian Castle Town Map we'll be ready for a beta testing and then hopefully a demo in time for March 2010.

Yay! 8% done! All thanks to Sky's maps, which are awesome. It's going to be hard for me to top the first dunegon now. That's okay though because it'll make me work harder.
Regards to a demo, I will not be releasing one afterall. At least not for another month. If I set a date I'll only rush out my work which is what happened to the first game. I don't want that to happen.
Progress is good and some new screenshots will be posted soon!

The demo fell through. I am sorry to any who were looking foward to it but I just couldn't get the right amount done.

Now 1 February 2010 is the release date for a demo.

Development is slow and frustrating. The real problem is houses, interiors to be exact. Every time I draw up a map I think "no, this won't do, I didn't envision this!" so it's taking multiple tries for me to just design npcs' homes.

Oh well, another update inside the month, I promise.

Right, the revised script is more complex then before and I don't know how it's going to neatly link together, but trust me it will.

Now, the first part of the game revolves around Orian, if it was a play, these events would be ACT 1 SCENE 1.

It focuses around the turmoil in Orian a year after the first game and the disappearance of the Oracle Eye. There is alot of characters you'll be playing as but only a fraction of them will make up the key players in the story. The others you play as just to gain knowledge of their personal story and their personalities which you lead you on to how they're going to act and link in later on in the story.

I feel like I'll be explaining the background and the prologue very soon.

Anyway DECEMBER 1st 2009 is the fixed release date for the demo which will contain the prologue. This date will be met without delay or failure. That is all

ALL PREVIOUS PROGRESS HAS BEEN DESTROYED

I, after revising the story, plot, characters, skills and just about everything have come up with what I consider a much improved version of this game. I have removed elements that were too cliche such as the FF musics and am now starting work on my 'Revised' script of Eoo2.

Progress as of 07/11/09

Over 150 skills have been finished (not including enemy skills or summons)
Weapon sets have been finished, weapons follow their own strengths and weaknesses, the sets are as follows.

BLADES
Dagger
Shortsword
Longsword
Claymore

BLUNT
Mace, Hammer, Staves

RANGED
Bow
Staff

POLE
Pole
Spear
Halberd

OTHER
Double edged sword
Double edged Axe

And as true with most rpgs all weapons follow classes (iron, steel etc)

The Story however, is the most revised of all and I am very pleased with this. It's more in depth and some new characters have emerged as a result of the new story. Even just the opening gameplay in Orian contains a whole story of its own.

All that's left is to gather resources such as more music, battlecharsets and some facesets.

I plan to release a 'Teaser Demo' containing the opening gameplay.

Major reconstruction is going to take place so the actual amount of the game produced won't increase for a while but hopefully that quality of what's already there will.

Updated on 15 Sep 2009

Okay, once the main body of dialogue is fixed up I'll release the alpha demo to those who have shown interest in testing. So, the release date for the alpha demo is now Thursday 17 September 2009. However, what with pesky essay assignments and other time consuming activities I may peg the date back, I'll try not to at all costs but I may end up doing so.

There will be what can only be described as a slouch in development for the next month or so. Partly because I'm working on another project and partly because I'm looking for testers to test the game out thus far.

Also there is a technical hitch with the game. It is being made with Powermode so mouse clicking can be enabled but also to enable the game's opening movie to play upon loading the game up. The problem is that during play usually after boss battles and cutscenes frequent error messages flash up usually displaying words not even Brainzilla could understand and the game closes. I have narrowed down the reason for this down to Powermode because before, when the game was being made without Powermode there were no such problems.

I have been left with two options.
1: Somehow figure out the problem and sort it out.
2: Drop Powermode and make the game in normal RPG 2k3.

At the moment it's looking like option 2 which means I'll have to drop the opening movie from the game.

Of course production has by no means halted it's just hit a speed bump and because I was travelling less than 20mph it's having some adverse effects.

Updated on 09 Jul 2009

Some moderate progress has been made with the game itself however I'm going to be adressing the bugs I've found in the game so far.
The damned message input box in the event commands tabs holds far more characters than the ingame message box. So as a consequence over 50% of the text in the game has overflowed. Don't you just hate that?
So, I'm going to be fixing the text I have so far before making any more progress with the actual game.
Also, before I go on to make any further progress I need a maximum of two testers to test the game thus far. Anyone who wants to should either PM me or leave a comment saying you do. Thanks, Tentacool Out.

It's been some time since I updated this what with my personal life invading my computer nerd one.
The updates since last time are -

- The first (and smallest) of the game's many continents has been completed. Orian, the place where our hero comes from and the starting place which consists of..

- Kioro Village - Hiro's home village, a nice but small community that boasts an item and weapon store and a newly opened building bought by Milo (The talking Cat from EOO1) where the player is guided through concepts such as techniks and equipping items.

- Orian Castle Town - The capital of Orian (It's been much expanded since EOO1) that boasts multiple shops of every caliber as well as the drinking dragon tavern where the local gamblers come to play cards. NPCs are everywhere in this bustling town some with valuable information, some in need of a sword for hire.

- Orian Castle - The grand residence of the Orian royal family.

- Klimweave Woods - The goblin infested woods that seperate Kioro village from Orian Castle Town.

- Mt Oath - The only notable peak in Orian.

- St Oria's Ruins - The ruins of St Oria's tower (From EOO1) since the tower's collapse a strange monolith has appeared in the center of the rubble.

So, this is but one of the many continents in the game. One of the other continents, considerably larger than Orian, is Exia which has multiple towns and cities (Originally I planned far more to give the feel of a real nation but I cut down the number of towns to be included in the continent because some towns would essentially be the same, or very little different from each other.) Here's what's done in Exia.

Exia City - The capital of Exia, where multiple shops take route and the multicultural aspect of the nation comes to real fruition, there are not just humans living in Exia, there are the strange Dragonmen, the alchemist Moogles and the ancient Wolfer people. The City boasts a guil hall for all aspiring hunters and a sword training academy to boot. Also the renowned pub 'The Two Moons' which offers more than ale.

- Exia Castle - The mystic castle of the Exian royal family.

- Helas Wood - A fairly large expanse of forest that is the only route for traders seeking to reach Exia City, as such many bandits ply the roads and make hideouts within the forest. Many strange plants live in the Helas Wood.

- Tyne Village - A small village on the outskirts of Helas Wood, it is important although only a tiny village, to Exia's economy, the best bread and diary come from Tyne.

The rest of the places in Exia are yet to be made. A third nation, Valvania, the great military nation is under development and a city has been made but I'll explain the histories of the seperate nations later.

The only other notable development is that the first hunt has been done! A hunt is a bounty of sorts where the player finds a bill posted on a board (Usually at a pub or inn) demanding the defeat of a certain monster. The player once accepted the bill can then go off and slay the monster for a cash reward. Anyway, the first hunt has been done. I'm not telling what it is though.

So, hopefully this has shed some much needed light on my project. The long winded update is chiefly because I've been away from UI for too long and now I'm back I bring hordes of writings with me.

Took all my previously uploaded screenshots off. Will someone notify me when we're able to upload screenies once again?

Updated on 16 Apr 2009

Seems screenshots don't appear to be working.
I'll put the links to all the screenshots so far here.
