Important Change to Lightbound
Hey everyone (and a few people who are still interested in the projects),
It's been a few months since I uploaded the first build of Lightbound as a Visual Novel on here.
I admit I haven't worked on it as much as I had wanted to, as I have been quite busy with real life related business
To get right into the main topic I wanted to announce:
I'm changing the game engine to RPG Maker MV.
But why? You asked.
I have been doing a lot of reflection, gathering some feedbacks from people who played the game and turns out it wasn't engaging enough.
Personally, I also wanted the option to add exploration and interactive environment into the game, as well as deeper sense of atmosphere with the lighting, fog and sounds.
All of this is easier and possible in RPG Maker MV. I believe this decision will pay out better in the long run.
RPG Maker MV is also the first game engine that got me started with game development, so I'm more experience in this than RenPy.
But do not worry! Everything from the story to character is the same. There are some dialogue changes as well as the flow of a few branches of the character interaction for the sake of world building.
There are 2D assets I have to create from the ground up such as game levels and character sprites and that's what been consuming some times for the conversion of this game.
Currently I'm almost half way done with the remaking of the prologue. I had started working on the Chapter 1 on Renpy, but that's going to be scrapped (if there are enough interested people, I might consider the unfinished Renpy version).
For now, I'll focus on the remake version in RPG Maker MV.
Thank you for taking your time to read this <3
