Development on hold


I am putting the development for The Wanderers on hold. Allow me to explain the reason behind it.

Firstly, during the development for the project, I realize there is several limitations and issues using RenPy to power my game, especially when trying to create a dungeon and RPG element. So decided to revisit the concept and made a decision to change the game engine to GameMaker Studio. Fortunately it has plugins to allow VN elements to function the same way as before, while the GMS allows me to build a foundation that I had intended to design.

Most importantly, the game is being expanded to actually function more closely as a turn-based RPG with strategy elements. It will feature top-down perspective game play of typical retro JRPG games, and will retain the VN storytelling I plan to keep. This fortunately lets me preserve most of the existing assets while I produce new elements to supplement the dungeon and turn-based battle system.

(I am also learning how to develop a game from scratch using a cool resource from http://howtomakeanRPGc.om . go check it out) 

So in the mean time the project is currently on hold until I have built up enough understanding on how to develop an RPG using GameMaker Studio while continuing to develop graphic assets needed for the game. I know this is disappointing to hear but I will promise you this shift in game design will allow the game to stand out and have more flexibility in later additions in the future.
