A shot of what the Beacon library will look like, fresh off the press from Photoshop! (it’s a little hard to see, but there are chairs and tables behind the guard railing). (Also those two weird pillar things are meant to be stairs).

Ah wait sorry one more question @//@ So the characters we've submitted will be like, um how do I word this, there will be elements for us to customise the characters to look like the ones we have? Something like that? I'm sorry I'm not great with wording ;-;

That’s exactly it! When I finally get this damned demo out the door, it’ll only have customisation options for the ten or so people who submitted teams at the very, very beginning. When the full game is released (whenever the heck that’ll be, ahaha), there’ll be heaps more on top of that. My goal is to make it that the player can create any kind of looking team they want, so that as few people as possible are left out. I know it’ll be an endeavour and a half, but I really think it’s do-able, with enough time (and all the tutorials I’ve amassed).Also, as you put it in an earlier Ask, the game is indeed basically a future AU! Wish I had thought to put it as succinctly, haha.

I couldn't help but be curious, but with this change to the game would it effect the entire storyline and the characters in it as a whole? Ahh I mean I'm still definitely looking forward to the game!! @//@ I was just curious about the changes. But if it's a "wait and see" thing I'd gladly wait!!

Hey there! Hope you don’t mind me answering your question directly, because it’s a very important question I kinda forgot to address properly, ahaha.The entire storyline has been scrapped, because all-up it was a kinda bad storyline as it was. The characters that were going to be in it (i.e: the characters that belonged to other people) aren't going to be in it as NPCs either, mainly because I’m adding enough features to have them be the main characters instead.I’ll elaborate a bit-- the storyline I’m now using is based on the idea that, at the end of season two of RWBY, Ironwood’s soldiers and the hunters from Beacon weren't enough to quell the onslaught of Grimm that poured out of the rubble. Ten years later, players take on the role of their own teams, tasked by the in-command team JNPR to find team RWBY. You’ll get to traverse a few different places around Vale, seeking out the other team as you get answers to what happened in the decade Vale had to fight to for its survival as a kingdom.But yeah! Hope that answers your question, and maybe even a few other questions you may have had >wo

I made the game go through yet another major overhaul @_@ As you can see from the screenshots/art, haha. This one is probably the best one yet though, because it takes the focus off of any characters I could make, and puts it onto you guys! Let me explain. So you know how the game was once all about my characters and what they were doing at Beacon? Well, this game will be selfish no more~! I finally saw the light, and saw that there was no reason why it had to be about my own characters, especially if I was releasing this to the public and expecting them to play it. I realised, why couldn't it be about the fan base as much as possible? I know there have been times in the fandom where people have wanted to leave, or wanted to face palm into oblivion because it’s all too much. But from my experiences-- getting to know the people I've gotten to known-- you guys deserve more than to have your characters as set pieces in my game. Which brings me to the heart of this post. I’m going to make a customisation feature wherein the main four characters are completely up to the player’s discretion. You’ll be able to choose gender, hair styles, skin tones, eye colours, names, etc. Nothing huge, but just something to make the teams you’ll play as be the teams you created. That’s who that girl is, holding the mask. She’s only one of the many faces that will be selectable from the different options. So, what do you guys think? Do you think it’ll be/has been worth the wait? Ahahaha I know I’m the world’s worst game designer-- no-one changes directions halfway through making a game, not unless they never want to meet deadlines. But yeah, I really think this will be the last version change I go through. I have the plot all sorted out, I have the concept behind it down-pat... yeah c: This will be better.

monicaloplaysgames replied to your post: Oh man, my first public video. Enjoy t...

So can i get a copy to review it too? is it done?

Dude, have you been getting all of the private messages I've been sending? I haven't messaged you anything about progress for the game, but I've been sending you confirmations on the characters you've been updating. Do you mind if I just add you on Steam? It might be a heck of a lot easier to chat about things.

[rwbyfangame-blog]

Awwwww what the heck, I might as well show you guys what I've done regardless. Goodness knows you guys deserve all the sneak peeks I can give, what with people being so patient. [LINK TO THE FIRST HALF OF THE SCENE] [LINK TO THE SECOND HALF OF THE SCENE] Also, shamelessly posts this in the RWBY OC tag too because why not.

[rwbyfangame-blog]

Eyyyyyyy I just finished this one scene I'm kind of proud of, and in the spirit of the new years, I thought maybe I should upload it for you guys to see! What do you think?

[rwbyfangame-blog]

Oh man, my first public video. Enjoy the compilation of things that don't belong to me, coming together to make a thing MADE by me! (To those who don't know,...

You guys have been so patient ;A; And I'm so sorry it's all taken so long to finish up. Here's a very, very brief video of what the title screen will look like in the coming demo. Why'd I upload THIS, of all things? Because someone was nice enough to let me use their music, and I've been searching and searching for ways to make things in the game look less generic ;v;

Merry Christmas~

Yooooooo Merry Christmas to you all! Just putting up a post telling you guys I hope you all have a wonderful day, and that the game shoooooould hopefully be up tomorrow for everyone to play. It's... ahaha it's definitely no work of art, but it's something aye. Really looking forward to releasing it and seeing what you guys think.

[rwbyfangame-blog]

Hey guys, Christmas is almost here and some of you haven't gotten back to me. Whether it be because you haven't seen this post, or you saw it and maybe forgot to say something-- it's all fine. All that matters is that you guys get back to me as soon as you can. Those who don't, or that I can't get a hold of; just know that your characters won't be present in the demo. HOWEVER, they will not be pulled from the actual game, so don't fret.

Hey guys! First community query since this whole thing started (and preeeeetty damn close to when the demo is being released, might I add).

Still, what I need to know from you guys is this: your characters have disembarked the airship, milling around the grounds while they start to find their way...

[rwbyfangame-blog]

When do you think a playable demo will be out?

I'm aiming for Christmas! I've worked out what the actual plot events will be for the demo, and now I'm just working on getting everything up until that point. This basically includes the stuff like sprites and asking people what they want their characters to do/say at certain points, so I think it's entirely doable by the deadline I've created.

Community Query 2 (for people who submitted individual characters)

Hey again! The question I answered in those previous couple of posts has prompted me to bring up a topic I had been meaning to bring up for a long time now. As you all know, the first time I opened the game up to the public I had initially asked for people to submit their teams to it. Some people asked if individual characters were ok to submit too, and I said it was fine, being that I didn't see a problem with it at the time. The only problem I see with having individual characters is this: I have plans to create for each team small quests, wherein the player hears that a team has a problem that needs fixing/helping, and goes to help them. In order to do this, I need teams of characters, not individuals. So! This is my proposition! I want to ask Aki-Kaede-OC, Professor-Goodwitch, Penxnce, Ansel-Hayes, EmmerichHitman, and Raynestar if they'd be willing to work with me in making teams out of their individual characters; if not for general use, then only for the game. This would help me out greatly, and I'd be there every step of the way in helping to make a team. However, if you're very sure that you don't want a team and that you only want an individual character submitted to the game, I'd understand and respect that. I don't think I'd be able to give you all individual quests, but otherwise your characters would be featured in the game just as much as anyone else's. [EDIT: Though I didn't mean you all have to be in the same team! Just that I'd appreciate it if your characters each had a team to call their own!]

[rwbyfangame-blog]

I forgot to mention in that previous question! All lines, no matter what I come up with, will be run by the owners of the characters so that they're happy with the outcome. I wouldn't create lines for everyone's characters and just add them to the game without consent; everyone will get a draft of what I come up with.

[rwbyfangame-blog]

Hey! This is penxnce here! When you say you don't know what you want suggestions for what our characters are to do, do you want exact lines n things? Sorry, I'm just kinda. Confused, and I really would like to help!

Hey there! Sorry that my description of what I wanted was a bit confusing, aye. I'm going to try to explain myself better by mentioning what another team did.TeamVCTA sent me a submission maybe a day or so ago, detailing what sort of things their characters would do and say as they made their way to the amphitheatre. They went into such detail as mentioning what the characters' demeanour would be, what sort of topics they might mention; stuff like that. So, despite what I had said, they came up with a jumping off point that allows me room to maneuver, which I really appreciated. THIS sort of submission, instead of giving me exact lines, is actually what I need ahaha.So yeah! I hope that helps to clear things up! If I still wasn't able to get across what I meant, don't hesitate to shoot me another message aye; I wouldn't mind at all.

*tries at creating an incentive for people to answer my community query, with a picture I thought was cute*

[rwbyfangame-blog]

Ehehehe just as a quick, little mention, I wrote/reblogged that last post at midnight. I'm heading to bed right now, but I eagerly anticipate your answers upon my waking up!

Community Query 1.1

Hey guys! First community query since this whole thing started (and preeeeetty damn close to when the demo is being released, might I add).

Still, what I need to know from you guys is this: your characters have disembarked the airship, milling around the grounds while they start to find their way to the amphitheatre-- what do your characters say/do? This can be as simple as your characters making an observation, or as complex as asking my characters what the heck they're doing talking to your characters (sparking a sort of discussion), etc etc. You know what I mean? Reblog with your answers, or if you find it easier, shoot me a personal message and we'll discuss how things will be done. I'll try my hardest to tag reblog responses with "community query follow-ups" if you want to somehow avoid the potential wave of responses I may be making.

I also really want to mention, the reason this community query is "1.1" and not simply "1" is because I plan on making a "1.2" after the demo is released. This second query, as a two-parter to the first, will be aimed at all the new characters that will be included in the game once art is finished of all those original joiners to the game. So don't sweat if you've been wanting to add your characters to the game, and have been waiting patiently for me to open the joining list up! Your time in the sun is coming! As much as I keep on saying that, ahaha.

But yeah, if those of you already in the game are still intent on being a part of it, pretty please get back to me as soon as you can.
