20/6/02

86% done. I took a while thinking up how I plan to end the demo. I went back to read how Leon was in demo1 and how I made him appear in plot2 to decide what has to happen to make him change like that. I've picked all the major twists I plan to add and have a rough idea of "the big finish".
 
Also had 2 possible unique title screens I was thinking about using. A bran new one made from an rpgmaker standard or a re-worked version of the one from demo1. I've decide on the re-make but may show both here to see what people think.
 
Beta testing of the finished demo will start soon.

13/4/02:
 
Demo 2's progress is coming along nicely. It is almost in the final stages, ready for final play testing etc. The fight side quest is also do-able now.

22/3/02:
 
An intro is being added to the game, both a tutorial to the world of SoD (yet to be added) and opening credits. I have begun the opening credits and have added an introduction paragraph, pictures and some credits so far.
 
Within the opening credits I will be thanking the people who kindly tested demo2 in the process of making it. They get a mention, a comment from me and an avatar pic in the opening. Check main news for new details about play testing.

Done a lot of story following on from the dungeon, leading back to the first city. I have people play testing what I've done so far to give me their opinion on the story so far. It's 900kb already and I'm no where near done, so the finished file may be quite big.

A lot more story made and another party member designed and added. Also switched about some skills. Added pic below just for a laugh, spot the cameo!

The first dungeon has an add on to it now leading to the next section of story for the demo. There is a long emotional cliff top conversation before hand.

Below is a screen from a room I made earlier today which I am proud of:

The first dugeon has been done. Quite short but will open up more story soon. Might post screens of the cave dungeon later.

23/12/01:

After beginning the creation of DEMO 2 I have already finished the first 15 minutes of it, all of which is story. This leads up to the first dungeon.

This demo is set during the 15 year gap between part 1 and part 2, in which Leon travelled chasing the one people called "The Demon Man".

I made Leon look slightly older (gave him a bowl cut and got rid of the bandana).

A little taster of DEMO 2:
