Dang, today marks 7 years since the original "the ruin" dropped. I really need to get cracking on tr2 sheesh, you know, the original draft of it wouldve been wayyyy shorter? Then I went and decided to add a ton of side stuff and write a nearly 300 page script lol
There's just so much side content in the first 3 chapters and its designed so that you do it in the order you want, you can't feasibly complete it all in one playthrough by the end of chapter 3, but by the end of all 6 chapters it should all be complete, if that makes sense (2/2)
Chapter 3 is FINALLY somewhat nearing completion, as long as my motivation doesn't falter it could drop in about a month or two ish, which is really cool! Chapter 4 should be wayyyyyy quicker, cause with the way the game is designed there's no new side content in c4 (1/2)
There's one thing I still think about with the first game, if I could change one thing I'd change the mom plot. Make her have a voice and call you sometimes, and also instead of cancer and looking for a magic cure, I'd have Ate put a curse on her, to parallel Aiden's story better
I know im taking wayyyy too long so here ya go, the first 13 minutes of chapter 3 (aka all the opening story scenes before you have total freedom again) https://t.co/CNHCvQrJrC
like 3 relics that when combined can heal the curse, and then that would tie to Aiden more and gah it would've been so much better. I also would've given her a va and more screentime but oh well, she'll get her chance depending on choices in the first game ๐ (when I get to tr3)
You know there's one thing in code red I would rewrite if I could, I'd rewrite the whole akiras mom cancer plot, it's so poorly written. Yea I was 14 but I shoulda changed it in code red like other stuff, I shoulda made it a curse ate put on her or something, then the king's have
Work in progress of Blackfall City but all in one map, no more transition screens! A lot of missing details and new empty space but got the layout done, will be important to have done for a future chapter so i wanted to get it done now :p
I wanna show off a little bit of the voice work thats been done in the late chapters ive still yet to get to, its so cooool and honestly i just wanna get back into the ruin, the motivation has been coming back off and on and i figured theres no harm in releasing this! (2/2)
For context, this trailer was something i actually put together 2 years ago, i didnt plan on publicly releasing this one tho. I was gonna remake the trailer when the full game was done with all 6 chapters using footage from all the chapters, but you know what (1/2)
I want to apologize for The Ruin 2 taking so long for future chapters. Particularly to the VAs who have already recorded all their lines because omg some of the performances from the late parts of the game still live in my head rent free constantly and i want them to be heard QwQ
Heres something fun I found since chapter 2 has been out for a *cough* long time, this is the map i drew on paper when i was 14 for the prison dungeon! The layout stayed pretty much the same
Hey everyone, I have released emergency updates to The Ruin 1: Code Red and The Ruin 2. There was a bug i discovered where achievemets straight up crash the game, at least on my computer, so ive added an option to both games to disable the achievements.
Anyways, there's an info dump for ya. Sorry about all that ehe. I'll leave you with The Ruin 3 Chapter Titles:
Chapter 1: Fractured
Chapter 2: The Resistance
Chapter 3: Ancient Memories
Chapter 4: United
Quickly coming out of the darkness to say this project is not dead, just been on hiatus indefinitely while dealing with not so great life stuff, but I think I am ready to continue. In light of that, I wanna also announce something I've known for quite a while.
Youd notice TRL is not there. That's because it's completely a side story. It was focused on hybrids and space stuff, was very different, and really wasn't necessary. The only connection was some cameos and those characters appearing in TRU to help fight but is easily removed
