Happy New Year everyone! Here's to making 2024 the best it can be.
The 2024 Roadmap has been finished! This is the rough outline for how long things should take and when they will be worked on. You can expect progress to continue throughout the year following pretty closely to this outline.
As you can see, voice acting and tileset swapping are notable parts of next year's development. When the beta releases, that is when things such as forum threads and the game page on itch.io will go up. After that, it's all bug fixes and balance adjustments until it's all finished and can be set for a release date, hopefully some time in 2025!
I'm looking forward to sharing this game that I've worked on for so long with you, and this year will certainly be full steam ahead to get that to happen as soon as possible!
All of the NPCs for God's Disdain are now finished! Minus whatever pops up in testing, the whole story, world, dungeons, side quests, and all of the inhabitants are now fully playable and explorable! There are a few major things left to do, and the road map for those will come within the first few weeks of next year.
I seriously cannot wait for this game to get in everyone's hands! For now, though... I think I deserve a little bit of a holiday break.
The Chiliss Hot Springs are now also open for business! You can spend 15 Giku here to relax and heal. Soaking in the soothing waters will even give your entire party a buff that lasts for multiple turns in battle, seen here as an icon below the characters!

Listening to this mix today to get in the Christmas spirit while working on game development! What are some of your favorite holiday-themed video game songs?
14 NPCs left to program! Here's another little sneak peak at the latest one I created. He's the leader of Komura and resides in the capital city of Sodai. Give it up for Emperor Youta!

I've been getting a lot of work done on the NPCs. There are only 21 left to program! I've been making them in chunks of 5 for the most part, so it should only take me a few more days.
As soon as I'm done with this, I will be drafting up a rough roadmap for next year, all the way up to my final goal of having the game in at least a beta stage by the end of 2024. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all!
There are only 39 NPCs left to program for God's Disdain. This one has some wares for you... I wonder what they could be.
