Lost Eden development thread

[vyeh]

That's a good idea. What I've done ties into the story a bit more... I'll explain.

The title screen recreates this interlude (an excerept):

I like it. When is the interlude triggerred?

The title screen shows the middle 3 panels, with the words "Lost Eden" replacing the picture for the depths of space one.

Good.

I... forget completely. XD I can't seem to find any notes of the top of my head, although I can search if you would like. From memory, it's triggered if the player discovers Realisation of Values.

I'm having somebody over tomorrow to record some of the female voices for the game.

Is that early in the game?

That'd good.

 

[Kilkakon]

Well nothing too earthshattering to report! Just checking in. The voices have been recorded, and I'll edit them up probably tomorrow.

Uni's been pretty hectic and combined with not quite enough sleep my morale's been pretty sapped the last few days, so I'm taking tomorrow off to work through everything in the study and have a productive day.

All of them or just the ones you were discussing in a recent post?

 

[Kilkakon]

The recent post. 5 quotes for Caretaker Edge.

Take care of yourself. Post when you are ready to return to LE.

EDIT: Remember my comments about the heat? It is preferable to the rain and having to stay inside from Irene!

EDIT2: I hope your life is becoming less hectic.

EDIT3: I need a new cable modem. I am using the public library to post this edit.

Thank you. I wouldn't say that I am ready to work just yet... still got plenty to do and hecticness etc. :| The Uni schedule at the moment is making me work/play mainly without much time for modding. It's all a matter of prioritisation though. I will try to get some stuff done shortly.

Yeah... I hope that you and your connected people were all safe.

Alright thanks for letting me know. How have you been going?

Don't worry if you can't get to LE soon. As long as you post occasionally, you'll keep the intention to finish LE. We can always discuss plans.

Fortunately, it was pretty mild where I lived.

I got it fixed although there were a few complications (had to order a new modem, then the installation software for the new modem hung on the Mac, the help desk sent me to India to a McAfee virus specialist -- my second call was more successful as the guy was able to give me the code to bypass the installation software -- then I discovered that the router needed to be bypassed). But it works!

Thanks for such a supportive attitude. I'll admit that what hasn't been helping my morale towards art or projects of late is that I'm missing a friend who's able to tell me that I'm doing a good job; an encourager.

As far as actual time goes, I am under the pump a bit still. I can forsee the next study break being an ideal time to get a lot of work done, although I can still try to do things in the small moments.

Good to hear that you are safe.

Back in action! Great!

Do you know when that study break will occur?

 

[Kilkakon]

Next week... I have submissions due this Friday, next Monday and next Wednesday... and I am absolutely worn out. :| ... I'll keep soldiering on the best I can (and pray up obviously!) and post here as soon as I am back to normal.

Thanks for your patience. :|

I look forward to hearing a plan October 1!

Hey. Well I've finished that lot of assignments, and recovered mentally and emotionally from the ordeal. There's one more month (and a bit) before exams and then exams themselves. The coming section of work is probably the final boss of Uni haha . I have 1 more semester but that's just for one unit.

I have just been taking it easy the last few days rather than doing anything super productive. Still, I'd like to get some stuff done if I can. The work isn't going to go away, but there's still organisation and getting a little bit done every now and then. After all, busy is a frame of mind.

I have got some audio recordings to still record, and there's some pictures too. How have you been going? How has scient been going? Petek too?

Just do a little every few days and it will get done.

How about listing what needs to be done?

How have you been going?

The weather has been getting cooler, which I like.

How has scient been going?

You should check the IRC.

Petek too?

The forum has been pretty busy lately!

 

[Kilkakon]

Yeah I'll try to keep on things. Everybody else involved seemed to have dematerialised... bdanv seemed to drop off the planet and I haven't heard anything from JH24/Kyrub and so on.

How about listing what needs to be done?

Err primarily just filling in misc. artwork and voice recordings. There's a list which has been copy/pasted into here so many times haha... but those above things are the first things I can get onto.

Cool. Haha. Good to hear.

You should check the IRC.

I just logged in, nobody seemed to be online there.

Great. Got to keep that bassoon player out of trouble. . Haha good to see some people playing.

What artwork and recordings?

 

[Kilkakon]

What artwork and recordings?

I've got 2 leaders' worth of qoutes to edit. When I get to that, it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes or so. There's 2 leaders, and possibly a third, that I am voicing, so I can record those up whenever I have a few spare evenings.

Graphic wise, there are several popup images, and monument pictures, that remain to be completed.

A little at a time is probably the best strategy for getting these done.

This is also susceptible to divide and conquer.

 

[Kilkakon]

I had a spare half an hour today so I editted up one of Edge's quotes. I did meet somebody on IRC who may be interested in playing my mod a little bit, so we'll see how that goes.
