@shuruka: Thanks for the comments, although from your previous post, I thought you'd tried the demo already. :tongue2:

Production has been pretty fast lately; I'm around halfway done with the first chapter.
Now, our concept artist has just finished a pretty good picture recently, so I might as well share it!

i tried the demo well done, however i got an error after using a spell a few times, don't remember the error but you might wanna look into that. And i get that kinda stuff a lot, i play rpg's for a living basically and can see potential pretty well after the Snes games struck US :tongue2:
Thanks. Some people have been getting script errors; I think it's fixed now, but I won't update the demo until the chapter 1-3 release. Hopefully it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I updated one of the screenshots. I'll be using cosmetic lighting for some of the maps now. Also, some sprites have been added for the characters section.

Ohh regi that chapter one pic is delicious =] I really want to play this. In answer to your previous question, I thought the puzzles were balanced very well, not too easy or too hard. I especially liked the mirror section - I know all it took was a look in the right direction, but it made me clever for thinking of it =]

Good to know someone likes my work. Haha. It was kinda fun to work on. I still haven't gotten past the beginning of the demo, then again, I haven't played it much either. Haha. The intro is really well done. Its good to know I helped with a strong project. Keep it up.

Like your previous game, this looks really good, but I think I see a hole in your story. But.. I may be wrong.
You say the man is enslaved to mine, but then after using illegal sorcery he is Exiled. Could one not say he broke the law and then was given his freedom instead of being killed? This seems strange to me.

Hey, good question. I know the synopsis was kind of vague, so let me explain.
The Boss (leader of his mine) was really trying to help him and the village. Marc should have been killed for "using sorcery," but the Boss had a kind heart, and knew Marc would never have done it if he'd known about it before. The Boss let him live, but had to banish him because he didn't want the government to hear about it (in which case, they'd probably fire or kill him too).
Hopefully that should help. It'll be a lot clearer once I finish Chapter 1. There's a bit more to it than what I explained (note the quotes around using sorcery), but it should be much easier to understand in the game.
Thanks for the feedback, anyway

Ah, that makes much more sense!
I had a feeling there was more to it than I was just seeing. Good luck on the game =)

Haven't posted a new screenshot in awhile, so here goes.

It's the pretty mountain Marcus lives on. The only downside to the all the flowers and flowing waterfalls, though, are the vicious stinging bees that attack you if you invade their territory :X

Just finished some userbars for the game. Man, these things are a lot harder to make than they look :p

Also, a notice I added to the main post. I realized that players using gamepads might be having difficulty playing with the battle system, so:
The battle system controls were designed for keyboard use. If you are using a gamepad and you find the controls uncomfortable, PM me or post in the thread and I will try to compromise.

Progress has been pretty good lately, we're already halfway through Chapter 2. You can probably expect the 1-3 pack released sometime mid-to-late August :smile:
Here's another screenshot for chapter 2:
