Apologies again for the slow rate of posts lately. With the every-two-year tournament coming up at the end of June, all White Giant RPG Studio developers are fully in tournament practice mode, so our development has slowed. But we’re continuing to develop graphic art for Last Dream II.

The screenshot shows an early sketch of an enemy called a Nagual based on a mesoamerican myth of shapeshifting humans with the ability to morph into animals. This one is based on a ...

Apologies for the slowdown in posts recently. This summer we’re having our every-other-year tournament and so much of our free time has shifted to preparing for that epic event. But we’re still finding some time to continue development on the Last Dream Fishing Arcade which is getting close to completion.

Recently, our graphic artist (www.twitter.com/unclebladey) completed the icons for the fishing items and overdrives. We’ll soon be incorporating these icons into the game to replace our temporary ...

We have a major new update to the Last Dream Fishing Arcade to reveal in this new video. In the video, you’ll see some of the updates such as:

1) The introduction of Freshwater (Lake) environment art as well as freshwater fish (e.g. the Goldfish caught midway through the episode).

2) An improved Fishing Equipment upgrade menu along with unique art for each fishing rod and equipment upgrade.

3) An improved Accessory menu to show changes in attributes with different equipment.

4) An improved ...

Sorry for the long gap since our last post! I was on vacation and am now sick which has delayed recent progress, but we are getting close to showing another new prototype of the Fishing Arcade. In the meantime, I wanted to show off some of the new art that our Graphic Artist created.

When you upgrade your fishing equipment, you’ll now see those updates reflected in the art! The “Bamboo Rod” (the first major fishing rod ...

The latest addition to the Last Dream Fishing Arcade are treasures which can be reeled in like fish, but won’t be immediately accessible since the treasure chests are so heavy. With certain fishing equipment upgrades to your reeling power and line strength, you will be able to “catch” the treasure chests and acquire their prizes.

Currently, all treasure chests contain accessories. Your character can equip two accessories which increase one of ten different fishing variables including overdrive gain rate, fish endurance ...

While we continue to work on new features in the Last Dream Fishing Arcade, we’re still making some headway on the side toward Last Dream II. Our graphic artist recently completed the art for a late-game enemy called a Demon. This fearsome creature will primarily utilize physical attacks but will also have access to a few powerful magic attacks.

We hope to have another update on the Fishing Arcade in a few days to share with you!

We’ve made some significant changes to the Fishing Arcade since you saw it last, including:

• An achievement menu to help track accomplishments
• Major mechanics changes fish directional tracking, tension ranges for earning overdrive points, and re-cast and fish release abilities
• Rework of user interface elements including the line tension bar, fish endurance bar, rank/upgrade point HUD, and overdrive bar
• New art for Tier 3 Saltwater Fish
• Multiple bug fixes

Our plan going forward includes:

• Updating the remaining menus including the main fishing menu, the fishiary, the equipment ...

As a thank you to all of our Patrons, we’ll be offering free Steam keys for the Last Dream Fishing Arcade. Any active Patron a month prior to the planned release of the Last Dream Fishing Arcade will get a free Steam key. We would love to get your feedback on the Fishing Arcade prior to release!

At this point, we don’t not have a firm release date for the Last Dream Fishing Arcade, but development is rapidly progressing, and we ...

We’re continuing our work on the Last Dream Fishing Arcade and we’ve made substantial progress over the last week. Some of the major improvements that we’ve made are:

1) Unique difficulty levels from Easy to Hard as well as two unlockable difficulty levels for those that want an extra challenge.

2) Select any of the 12 Last Dream II characters, each of whom has different attributes for a unique fishing experience.

3) Select from 14 different fishing locations, each with unique music and ...

We’re continuing to polish and improve the Last Dream Fishing Arcade which we plan to include both as a mini-game in Last Dream II, but also as a standalone title. Some of the recent improvements include:

• Improving environment and fish art
• Adding fishing shadows until you’ve caught a particular type of fish
• Added fishing overdrives that allow you to build up “Overdrive Points” and then use them to more easily catch powerful fish.
• All fish tiers (rather than just the first tier) are now ...
