Last Dream II Title Screen

Posted by:

Our graphic artist (www.twitter.com/unclebladey) has created a beautiful original piece of art for our title screen. This piece is a so-called “Yggdrasil Celtic Knot” where the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil interleave to form a variety of celtic knot patterns. The tree does have an important place in the Last Dream II storyline, but we’ll save that for a later time.

For now, please enjoy the Last Dream II title screen video. Have feedback? We’d love ...

Game Demo Play-through Poll Results

Posted by:

We’ve compiled the results of our recent poll on whether you would prefer to see our team play-through a prologue and release it as a post or whether you’d prefer to wait until you can play-through yourself.

75% voted for waiting until you can play-through yourself, so that is what we shall do. This means that we will prioritize updating our menus (which are purely functional at this point) so that they are closer to their final versions before releasing you.

In ...

Character Renaming!

Character Renaming!

No RPG would be complete without the ability to rename your characters and we’re happy to report that this capability has been fully integrated into Last Dream II. The screenshot above shows the screen used to rename characters in Last Dream II after you’ve selected your party. There’s still a small amount of work to add some control labels and to allow direct keyboard inputs, but it’s exciting to see the renaming menu in action.

After you’ve finished renaming all of ...

White Mage Prologue Cutscenes – First Half Complete

We’ve now completed the White Mage prologue cutscenes for the first half of the prologue. This includes the introductory cutscene as well as the one that plays after you’ve completed the first dungeon and guides the storyline toward the 2nd and final dungeon of the White Mage prologue.

Now that these cutscenes are complete, we’ve reached a major milestone in the White Mage prologue that allows us to start testing. We’re just starting to bug fix all of the interactable elements ...

White Mage Prologue Cutscenes

White Mage Prologue Cutscenes

We’ve now completed the interiors of all of the accessible buildings within Galice (the initial White Mage town). We qualify with “accessible” since there is an inaccessible Synthesis Shop during the prologue that hasn’t yet been completed. This means that we’re now ready to start the development of the White Mage Prologue Cutscenes.

We’re already well underway with the development of the first cutscene where the White Mage (Elizabeth) receives a mysterious letter from Saubarag. We hope to be able to ...

The Galice Inn

Posted by:

We don’t usually show map interiors, but we thought we’d make an exception this time for the Galice Inn. When playing, you get a somewhat smaller perspective and can’t (usually) see the entire area. That smaller perspective is important for dungeons so that some mystery remains as to the proper path. We thought it might be interesting to show the entire map of the Galice Inn.

Although Inns aren’t utilized much in the character prologues because of the opportunity to rest ...

Felton Swamp Enemies – Green Pixie

Posted by:

The last of the enemies encountered in the Felton Swamp (the second dungeon of the White Mage prologue) is the Green Pixie. This ethereal being casts powerful Wind magic (Gale) which can be countered by careful use of the White Mage’s ability to enhance the party’s magic defense. The Green Pixie also has the ability to heal the entire enemy party, so be sure to wipe out any Pixies first before worrying about any Black Ants or Constricting Vines.

Now that ...

Felton Swamp Enemies – Constricting Vines

Posted by:

The second enemy that you’ll encounter during the Felton Swamp (of the White Mage’s prologue) is the Constricting Vines. If you’ve been following our posts closely, you’ll notice the similarity of this enemy with the Nepenthes encountered in the Hunter’s prologue. These similarities made the animations for the Constricting Vines quick work for our team.

Unlike the Nepenthes, the Constricting Vines is a physical enemy that uses a skill called “Constriction” that deals damage but can also inflict a weak form ...

Felton Swamp Enemies – Black Ant

Posted by:

The second dungeon in the White Mage’s prologue is the Felton Swamp. One of the enemies that you’ll encounter in the swamp is the Black Ant. We’re happy to let you know that we’ve finished creating all of the battle animations for the Black Ant and it’s ready for battle!

The Black Ant was a challenging due to the high number of pieces to animate. With 6 legs (each with 5 segments), two body segments, two pincers, four antenna segments, and ...

Game Demo Play-through Poll

Posted by:

We’d like to get your opinion on whether you’d like to see a game demo play-through of one of the Last Dream II prologues. Currently, the Gray Mage, Knight, and Hunter prologues are complete, and we hope that the White Mage prologue will be complete in the near future.

Our question is do you want to see a game demo play-through in a future post, would you prefer to to play through the prologue demos yourself, or neither!

If you have suggestions ...
