Selatria YouTube Page

Selatria YouTube page launches Friday!

Plans for Sunday

I promised I would make a blog post, and on time no less. I totally forgot to make one two days ago and I feel bad for it. This is on queue to post at midnight, since I'm probably already asleep. I am running a 5K in the morning around my old elementary school. It's going to be fun. The last time I did it was 12 years ago and it was 36 minutes. I did a practice run early today at 43 minutes, not too shabby compared to my old time.

After that, in the afternoon, will probably do voice over recording for Selatria. Looking forward to that. :)

Until next time!

I need to manage my time better

Seriously. I am very sleep deprived... I was up with 3-4 hours of sleep a night for the last couple of days, and then my eyes started bleeding last night.

I'm kind of worried about that, but maybe they became strained, I don't know.

I am now working on Python homework and devising robot sensors for Artificial Intelligence. The homework is due tomorrow, and I think I got the design of the program up and running, here's hoping it works in actual implementation.

I also need more sleep. Not enough time in the day, I swear.

Mellow!

I don't know what to talk about today. Writer's block maybe. Lots of things going around. I'm chugging through my classes, and life is going swell for the time being.

Maybe I'll have more to talk about on Wednesday.

Oh, and check this out.

Talking about 1.21 on 1/21 o.o

While I'm sitting down doing my laundry, I might as well work on a blog post for today.

I think I've created a new gaming habit. I work/program in the daytime, and play games after 8PM Pacific/11PM Eastern. Seems to work out well. I have a constant schedule to lead a Final Fantasy XIV event daily at the same time every night, and on weekends I play Age of Empires III with some of my friends.

For Final Fantasy XIV, we're gearing up to prepare to take down the moogles with greater efficiency. I want to get my gear all materia'd out and ready to go. I'm looking forward to it, though I should really take up crafting. I procrastinate though... maybe Armorcraft?

As for the job system coming in 1.21, I'm going to likely be a Paladin and Black Mage, my two favorite jobs. Though I don't mind being a healer, tanking and nuking seems to be what I'm best at.

That's it for now, until next post!

Selatria: Chapter 1 Preview

I'm not sure when Selatria: Chapter 1 is going to be released for public audiences. It was originally January 28, but had to be delayed in order to finalize things. It's not going to be vaporware... it'll just be ready when it's ready. It's coming along very nicely, though!

I'm working on cutscenes and gameplay development, the voice actors are recording lines as they're being finished, and the artists are working on the various expressions and sprites.

Johan is doing the expressions/reactions/faces, and Juliet is doing the sprite art and the menu portraits. So far it's meshing quite well as you can see.

Here are some screenshots of what the project looks like now:

YouTube page will be coming soon. I'm hoping to show samples of the soundtrack done by Luke Simpson, Chris Nuno, and others as teasers as well as our trailer being hosted on there. It'll be up soon. I just like to wait until things are smooth and finished before letting the open public play the project. @_@


Until next post!

Busy busy busy!

I almost forgot to do a post today... I've been so busy.

I'm learning a good deal about Python! It's a very fun language. Much easier to grasp than C++, that's for sure.

Also some new progress on Selatria. We got a good way through the voice acting submissions, I will provide some new screenshots in the future. The project is coming along very nicely. Though there seems to be a lot of refining between my vision, Airen's vision, and the voice actor's portrayal of the characters.

It's a lot of work, but I'm very satisfied with how the project is coming along.
