This will be the last update for Zarc BJH until releasing this beast. I've been watching a lot of YouTube reviews of bad video games including the worst-'Action 52' for the NES and I've learned what not to make in games like these. If it breaks other peoples' sanity, then it's not worth even releasing it.
I have been testing the game and adding small stuff here and there to the original quest. The second quest, in which a password must be purchased, I've been working hard on creating more enemies, dungeons, places and characters. So far, I've been pushing the software near it's limits, so again, if you are not patient during loading times, this game is not for you.
One other thing many probably won't like are the graphics. They are original but I usually do a better job on pencil and paper. I really don't like spending a lot of time detailing enemies and bosses. Music is original but it does take up a lot of file space-even if it's .ogg format. Most sound effects are also original except for a very few.
I want just about everything to be from scratch. I tried my own movement engine but I figure many won't like how Zarc will bounce off obstacles. The shooting bones has a very weird effect at times. Whenever you shoot one way, then change direction, the bones will immediately follow. I've tried ways to stop this bug but so far I just left it at that.
It's been over one year since the game's been started so I have spent a lot of time getting things to work right and even spending some time making other small surprises. I just hope I don't get too involved in making too much of a good thing.
