Unlike with my previous journals, I'm going to barely describe what relevance any of my screenshots have to do with the big picture, and have less screenshots and less frequent posts as well. Anyway.

how do u liek my kikan menu colorz, r they unreadable enuff

Posted Image
okay I guess that last statement was a bit below the belt but the point is, is that you can change the colors from default monotonous grays to the eyesore blues and whites that luke seems to like, or some non-ugly greens. this effects gameplay too (the status bar at the top uses the menu colors). i'd post a picture of that but it's too early in development.

also support for but not necessarily inclusion of alternate music and sound effect sets.

Are you still bitter because I wasn't a fan of your DOZ game from last summer? No need to hold grudges or anything...

(BTW you're the only one to complain about Kikan's menu colors)

Heh, no, I'm not bitter about the scores. If I offended you with the joke, sorry. I was just trying tease you a bit about your menu colors with a highly exaggerated opinion of what I thought they looked like.

Anyways, I like the menu system, but you should change the border corners into something else.

Heh, okay, but I've seen you talking about it a lot ;D

Also, Kuroneko, that looks nice, but I really can't give it a better explanation than Es.

How far is progress in this?

You can save while at the level select menu (or when specially prompted).

Looking quite good. But if it's anything like your last DoZ game (guess I'm assuming a lot from the weapon name) then please turn the overall speed down a little.

Oh, believe me, slowing the player and the weapons down was pretty much the first thing I did when I picked the project back up after the DoZ. :-D

The text box is three times as tall as it was in the DoZ release, also. I believe that was the other major complaint.

Under consideration that I really REALLY enjoyed this game while playing it in the DoZ, I will be waiting with bated breath for a more complete edition.

This looks pretty shit so hopefully the levels 1 and 3 graphics have made up for it. Only three more screenshots remaining! I might need a couple of beta testers ready within a week. :o

I think the screenshot above looks pretty good, though I am not sure what those diamonds are supposed to be. I will beta test.

Disappearing block "puzzles" à la Mega Man, rain, and a utility item (you can use the Gorgeous Blade after you drop the jumpboard). It's half way in the ground because programming it the way I'd imagined would have meant putting customblocks all over the background or adding solid sprite-to-sprite collisions to my mess of an engine.
Posted Image

Triple the text box space, dialogue still sucks, more random references, and special messages when you get weapons. There's also a bit at the end of the first "cutscene" that actually mentions how the alignments work.
