PTOLEMYGAMES

Progress update

Hi

Well, things are going pretty ok. 

60 of the renders are prepared. And I'd say that 2 of the planned 6 scenes are almost done.

One note on animations. You might have noticed that animations in this and other games tha...

Plans

Hi

Took yesterday off from gamemaking(?). Thought I'd needed a break after Alexandra.

So, up next is Kelly. It will be as before, I keep you informed as to the progress and when it's ready it's ready. I feel I can do a lot better t...

Progress update

Hi

Well, almost done.

The inventory system is functional, as far as I can tell so far. Of course I'll keep working on it over the weekend.

But I think there's no reason why the patch won't be released early next week. Monday,...

Progress report

Hi

I was hoping to say that the first side mission in finished. And well, it's mostly done. Renders are done, coding for it is done, I just haven't finished the dialogue yet.

I'll finish it tonight.

Tomorrow, I've promised to...

Progress update

Hi

Got home from work a couple of hours ago, and I'm dead on my feet. So I'll keep this short.

Was successful in what I was hoping to achieve by now. So the 2 new locations and the morale meter are in.

Next up is the side mis...

Progress update

Hi

Sorry for not being able to do one of these yesterday. But the story mission ended up being 128 renders long, rather than the hoped for 100.

For newer patrons, that happens to me. Stories grow in the telling. 

But I can say that...

Progress update

Hi

Well, with Easter coming up, I haven't been able to get a great deal of work done. You guys know how it is. Family obligations, last minute work etc...

But I can say that the renders for the story mission are almost done. About ...

Progress update

Hi.

Well, I've started work on the Alexandra patch.

So far, of what I've listed. I've finished work on one of the 4 new locations. And I've started work on the first mission. 50 renders are prepared for it so far. At this rate, I expect 100,...

Plans

Hi

Well, Alexandra comes next. 

The way I'm going to do it will be a little different. In keeping with my renewed effort of emphasizing quality, and with that bad 3 day delay that IR had, I've decided to change a couple of thi...

Progress update

Hi

Sorry for not getting back to you yesterday. Got caught up with work. 

Well, I hope to have all the renders finished in the next 28h. That's what we've calculated as the continuous render time to finish. Now since I'm trying to im...

Progress update

Hi

Well, good news first.

Managed to finish preparing all the renders for IR. Bad news is, that since I've used some of the techniques I started with Alexandra to try to improve the quality, they take a little longer to render. For...

Progress update

Hi

Well, I've started on the patches for both IR and Alexandra.

Probably further along with IR at this point. About 50 renders are prepared. I still haven't started on the dialogue and code, but if I had to guess, the IR patch will...

Plans

Hi

Well, I put up a pool about what I should do next for Alexandra. Focus on more gameplay, or get in some sexy times with the side girls.

Surprisingly, gameplay won. Not by a lot, but it won.

So, in the next Alexandra updat...

Progress update

Hi

Well, there's not that much to say.

Haven't run into any problems, and there's no reason why the first Alexandra patch won't be ready Sunday. So, that's the date.

Also. I've been creating some of the side girls....

Progress uptade

Hi

Will keep this short.

Spent most of this weekend coding. So far so good. Still a few bumps, but getting there.

I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that the fist Alexandra patch will be ready at the end of next ...

Progress update and "walkthrough"

Hi

First, on the Alex game.

Spent most of the day coding. A lot of the things that I feared have been resolved, but not all.

I'll also spend most of tomorrow with the code. If I manage to get everything right, I can pretty safely say, t...

Plans

Hi

This is a long one, so I hope you bear with me.

First of all, on the end of Dana. There were a few major bugs, but I've fixed them that same day. Haven't heard a bug report since. So unless I hear about some other major bug, tod...

Dreaming of Dana 0.99

Hi

Well, it's finally done.

This is the semi-final version of Dreaming of Dana. There will be one more patch, at some point in the future, that will have all the graphical bugfixes, deletion of old code, redone early renders...

Patch delayed by a day

Hi

Sorry, old patrons know that I hate to do this, but I have to delay the patch by a day.

All the content is finished, but in order to implement the Dana solo ending, I'm having to go back and rewrite some code that I haven't touc...

Progress update

Hi

Very tired from work, so I won't keep you long.

All of the renders for Dana are prepared. A lot are also rendered.

About half the dialogue has been written, but it will require a little more coding that usual patches.

...

Progress uptade

Hi

I'll keep this short, since I don't have that much to say.

The renders for the Jessica ending are prepared, and I've started work on the Dana solo ending.

It turned out to be over 100 rather than 80, but we're still on sc...

Progress update

Hi

I've started work on this last Dana patch.

It's gone pretty well.

I've prepared approx 50 renders for it so far, but then again, it's been the weekend. 

From the work I've done now. I expect approx 80 renders to...

Plans

Hi

Well, 0.35 went out to mixed reviews :P

Don't worry, the action will spike up again, and then calm down again, and then spike up. Each time reaching a new high, life waves.  :D

Next on the list is the "last...

Progress update

Hi

To not ramble for long. The patch will be posted on Wednesday. 

It's mostly done. All the renders are done, 151 to be exact. I've just finished with the dialogue, one hour ago. The code is done.

All that's left are th...

Progress update

Hi

Well, I've started my new job. It's pretty hectic right now. 

Like I said, I don't know exactly what the new program will be. So for now, I'll take it one patch at a time.

The IR patch is going well. It will contain a...

0.095

Hi

I'll keep this short because I'm still sick, and leaving mucus trails all over my house :P

It's finally done. Sorry for the slight delay.

It contains the epilogue to the Maria path. 122 renders .

And I'll repea...

Progress update

Hi

Well, most of it is done. Just one little snag. I'm sick as a dog. 

Nothing serious, just the flu. But I've been spending most of my time sleeping. 

Still, there's not a lot of work left to do.

I don't know...

Progress update

Hi

I'll keep this short.

Well, like I said. I'm a little behind due to the slow start. Been trying to make up for it, but haven't managed so far.

About 70 renders prepared. And I think the patch will be 100 or so renders big....

Progress update

Hi

Time to let you know where I'm at.

Started work on both the Dana and Kelly patches.

Sad to say, that I didn't make a lot of progress with Dana. Maybe its because the story is written, at least for me. I'm struggling to get...

Plans

Hi

Sorry for the bugs with the patch. Like I said in my quickfix post, bonehead thinking on my part. :(

I've been thinking if I can make all the events left in Dana, in one patch.
Well, maybe. But it would mean renouncing a Ke...
