DEMO'S COMING OUT IN TWO DAYS!!! FINALLY!!!!

stuff like this is why the game's taking so long- having to come up with roundabout solutions for extremely simple things, because this engine is made on duct tape and nails.

well, that and drawing all the art assets lmao.

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

with this, the expressive cutscenes should be MUCH EASIER TO MAKE.

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

No, the game's not dead. Working on one of the biggest bugbears- namely the fact that rpg maker mv doesn't let you control followers normally without a special plugin, thus making me have to put in a command.

now i have a common event to make dummy events for the followers.

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

@Steam Hey, how about explaining why you abruptly decided to block certain games from Early Access, with no warning or policy update?

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

I don't usually post about wider world issues on the official dev account, but I have to in this case.
Payment processors have gone out of control on their censorship campaigns.

@UpBl0w wait omg is this in the actual game?!?!?!?

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

currently testing palettes for Dungeon 5 (Dark Forest). Note the monochrome, hee hee. (the transition won't be so abrupt in the actual game, i just need to get the color transition right first.)

Put out a patch for the Moonchild Demo- the analysis skill should work now. (hopefully!)
Sorry that it took so long...

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

Learning how to use FL Studio to make the rest of the game's music (because MixPad was driving me up the wall.)

This is so much better oh my lord.

It's the first of the year!
I'm going on vacation this week, but moonchild development (and updates) will resume after i get back. i'm refreshed and ready to roll!

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

@Rovertronic Excited!!

[FrogInABox @FrogInBoxStudio]

Been a while, hasn't it. Honestly, I've been taking an extended break from Moonchild development- after the demo came out, I just kind of crashed hard out of sheer burnout. Expect more frequent dev updates to resume in january next year- I'll probably be ready by then.

@SlLENTPRINCESS Twilight Princess needed a sequel way more than Breath of the Wild did. (especially considering the twilight realm itself was barely explorable.)
