VividGrey Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I was wondering how the progress on Starlight Divide is going and if there's going to be an open beta for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Popular Post Amethyst Posted May 13, 2020 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2020 i'm happy you asked! the demo is very well under way. the core system is done, and we just finished the main battle map for the demo. we're currently in the process of making all the baseline assets for the demo (doing quite well, but a slowed due to virus), and then we'll need to put it all together, and spend quite a while on polish. i'm hoping it won't take too much longer but i'm currently not going to give a time frame yet. as for testing, the process is probably going to look very similar to reborn's: supervised > internal > alpha > beta > community > public ... only with a lot more supervised testing at the start. that's part of the polish. the official beta will probably be closed with access through open applications in the community; preference will be given to those who've helped out with bugs or betas on reborn in the past, longstanding community members, folks with a particular interest in the game, or whoever nails whatever quirky questions i slap on the app this time. the community release is basically an open beta though. we're not quite at the point i can post many screens yet, but soon... in the mean time, here's a title screen for the demo. actual game release will naturally look a little different. 12 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 @Amethyst Were you seriously waiting for someone to ask just so you could drop something like that on us? All this time, I thought we weren't supposed to ask about when upcoming stuff is coming out. Has everything I've been told a lie? Is my life a lie? Do auths still smell? Do the spider people actually exist? Okay being serious, what are you looking to do for a demo? Is it like an hour showcasing stuff or is it actually a big chunk of the game like the equivalence of a Reborn episode. If you make it a 2 minute limit demo I will riot. I'm mostly just curious as demo really can be quite vague. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted May 15, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2020 in order: not exactly waiting but starlight sitch is a little different since there's no kind of dev blog or progress tracker for it yet i don't mind giving an occasional update about how things are going so that it doesn't just seem like there's nothing going on for months asking about when e19 for instance is out isn't super helpful since the dev blog already has most of what we can say about that probably i don't really know about that one but cass smells good at the least? definitely it's definitely not a big chunk, it's basically just one chapter (as in, what would be a chapter in a Fire Emblem game). it's also not the first chapter of the actual story. i expect it would probably be around an hour, yeah. we'll see about that tho. the purpose of the demo is primarily to show people the battle system, as there's not really a great demonstration of it in existing games, and secondarily to tease the story and world just a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
