I take it the six or seven characters on the pic in the first post are all the playable characters?

I ain't telling :p XD

Hey! This is our 100th reply...50% of them are probably me or Racheal n.n' (we talk too much)----so Thanks for 50 replies guys! *sends out imaginary cookies and/or candy depending on your tastes*

So when's the next update coming up?

 

[Racheal]

Demo 2.0 is slated for a mid-to-late August release. Earlier if you happen to live in the Edmonton area and are planning to attend Animethon.
(2.0 Alpha should be done before the end of this month, but that's a closed release so that's not very exciting for you guys (outside of screenshots ':|))

 

[Makio-Kuta]

Just some quick artistic updates before I head off to bed. Finally got Ryaena the new face picture and battler that she deserved.

Excuse the intellegent watermark on this next one, but I'm half asleep. Ryaena's new battler!

Well, that's all I've got the brain power to screenshot and such. Still chipping away at the graphic resources that we'll need for demo 2.0. I only pray that we'll have everything done by August. O.o ENJOY~!

 

[Reives]

Mm, personally, while I do think that the newer one looks better, the old one is somewhat cuter in a way. But that's probably due to the expressions.

Great stuff though; original art is always something that triggers my interest.

 

[JD_Slasha]

DAMMIT. So freaking cool. I hate you guys... >.>.... *plotting*

 

[Makio-Kuta]

@Reives: Thanks. The faceset change is directly related to the team member who designed Ryaena hating the first one. lol Glad to hear someone finds her original one a little cute. n.n'

@Slasha: Nyaha. We love you too. (*spies through a keyhole to try to find out what you're plotting*)

 

[heaosin]

Damn! I can't download it !

 

[Makio-Kuta]

Drat and both of the mirrors I had kicking around seem dead too.
Is it just that you can't use rapid share? If that's the case, I'll see if Racheal or I can upload it somewhere else for you when we get home from work later tonight. *feels bad that you can't download it* I hope we can figure out a way so you can. n.n

 

[S3nkai]

I can't download it too!
I think you should try freewebtown.
It's not bad, and the download speed is pretty fas.
You can hotlink it so it will very easy to download a file.

Ah, my.opera is a good host, too

Pls up a mirror 'cause I really like this project
Screenshot is excellent!!

 

[JD_Slasha]

.... O.o...

I just redownloaded it this morning. >.>..... <.<.....

Anyways, "Team" Dragonfly... ::glare::

I actually played through the demo finally. And here's what I have to say.

*Ahem*
Yeah. It's pretty good. You guys have a really good grasp of character development and the game meshes well with everything. This really could turn out to be something breathtaking...

But don't you worry your pretty little heads, my dearies.. MUAHAHA.
I'm releasing something this summer. So there. *Runs*

 

[Makio-Kuta]

Before I try to upload it elsewhere, Racheal found these two mirrors from before. Maybe one of them will work.

http://files.filefront.com/Ethereal+Dreams+Demo+v11/;7849492;;/fileinfo.html

I cross my fingers for you two! If they fail, I'll give some other places a try.

@J.D.: lol thanks buddy. We take a lot of pride in our characters. n.n' (Can't wait until summer! XD)

 

[S3nkai]

Thank!
I'm downloading it now

 

[Racheal]

Alright, after a hard weekend of work, we didn't quite get to the point we were hoping, but we got close. So, an update post.

First off, I finished coloring Rya's new battler. No more broken back for her.

Maki finally got over her fear of the dragon, and finished off the prison as well.
And the next town is nearing completion as well. (Though it's a bit of a ghost town currently ^^; Silly NPCs)

Spoiler: Several Screenshots - Mostly WIP

That's about it for now I think. Everythings still on track for our mid-August release. (If not, dare I say it, possibly a bit ahead of schedule?)
Just alot of resources to finish up mostly ^^; Maki hates me for my love of sprite animations.

 

[Malachi]

oh my sweet mother of, Sephiroth! I think I just had a party in my pants! *danceh!* I can honestly say....THIS PROJECT ROXORZ MY BOXORZ!

 

[Reives]

New screenshots and battler looking good (Rya looks angrier than before, heh). I'm guessing that it's relatively hard to find resources for that template; do you guys end up having to make a lot of them yourselves? Either way, kudos on the progress.

 

[Racheal]

Actually Reives, with the exception of the template itself, (ok, and battle animations and the music in the current demo), all of the resources are 100% Original done by us, made exclusively for this. It's the major reason why we progress so slowly ^^;

And I'm glad to hear you like the project malick, that's always good to hear.

 

[Reives]

Ah, that's very impressive to pull off then; I was wondering how come I've never seen those resources anywhere, heheh.

 

[Eviscerated]

I love your artwork, and your selection of scripts seems good. Did you write them?

//off topic

Haha Elephant Dreams...now that would be an awesome game XD
http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/1976/untitledba6.jpg[/IMG] I couldn't help myself...

Yup, that artwork was done by Racheal and I. Thanks for the comment!

Hehee. There's a video made on Blender (3d modeling and animation and game engine) called Elephants Dream. They hired a bunch of animators to work on it for a year to advertise the program

[Racheal]

With the exception of Dubealex's AMS (which I want to replace anyways), all the scripts are done by myself. Always glad to hear that someone loves the art.

And I'll have to wait until I'm off work to check out the video. ^^;
(I mean.. I never check this site from work...ever... :P)
