Update on SOL

Posted by Hazard-Productions - August 17th, 2009


Hey everyboday!
It was just pointed out to me I hadn't made a post in just over a year... so I thought I'd give it a go.

I've been working on the new SOL game on and off for over a year now, and its still not quite done. I've been having a lot of problems with flash, it seems to like crashing randomly and it doesn't want to export the .swf file. so... work on it has gone pretty slow. It doesn't help that I keep getting new ideas for stuff I want to put in. I could probably spend another 3 years working on this thing and not get everything I want in there.

The game is already well over the 10 mb limit, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. It's got amazing music that I really don't want to compress, and a bunch of artwork and stuff that seems to take up a lot of space. And I'm not finished with it yet >:(. I've been thinking about splitting the game into two halves, although I'd like for there to be side-quests that would involve you visiting previously explored areas. I'm really conflicted about this, I'd love to hear people's opinions.
Oh, and I've got to thank everyone who's messaged me about the game, I love all the enthusiasm!

I figure I'll just keep working on it, and put it out when it's ready. I've got a plan that I'm going to start adhering to now, rather than just add whatever I think is cool, so expect the last half of the game to have a little more... direction than the first.

I've included a loverly mountain scene from the game, for your enjoyment.
Sorry it's taking so long guys!

Email tom, he sometimes lets people upload stuff over 10 mb.

3...years? *passes out* oh well, not much i can do :/ good luck with it though :)

well... I was exadurating a little lol.
I'm trying out CS4 today to see if it's a little bit more stable. Wish me luck :D

Don't split the flash. Stick to the original plan.

keep working on it
that looks amazing

cant wait. could u add a inventory that shows weapons and there stats? it got pretty annoying in Dawn when i ended up geting a weaker weapon.

Yeah, I agree. The inventory in Dawn really sucked. As it stands, in Clockwork you can now carry 2 weapons at a time and it shows you the attack stats and special effects in the inventory menu. That really should have been in the first, the only reason it wasn't was really sheer laziness on my part.

Really liked the first one, can't wait for the second.

Few things to consider:

1. A more in-depth battle system.

2. Better inventory/variety of items

3. Possibly better tips/helper?

Other then that, its all good =)

Nah its ok take your time just like you made the awesome squareman!:P
