Alright, since around some weeks ago i started with this new project titled, "Ar melodica". It got me so motivated, and it got me more active in game making again. Here i'll just list some of the main features of the game and etc.

System: RPGM 3
Rating: Teen

New and Revamped Battle System:

- Still sticking with the Turn Based-Battle System, but i upgraded it to a Fast Turn-Based Battle System and also the Song Magic system in the battle. Basically, the battle goes fast unlike before when it was slow and magic are only casted by Songstress which you need to command to use a singing skill until they reach the right amount of MP to cast a certain magic. Also, in battle there is a Battle Bonus skill which is a skill that boost your one of your stats as the battle progresses and it can only be used by the fighters. You can also use Finishing Moves at a later part of the game. Skills will be divided to three levels. Level one is the weakest, all characters start with that, level 2 skills learned at level 25, level 3 skills learned at level 40 plus Battle Bonus skill with each level.

Dating System:

- At Ar melodica, dating is very important as with dating Songstresses can craft more Song Magic and stronger ones also. You'll learn Song Magic at some part of the game without dating, but thus only a few. So in other words you must go dating with the Songstress you choose to learn more Song Magic. And also, dating will be very important in advancing the story as sometime at the part of the game you need to unravel one of the Songstresses secrets of their past. The dating location is actually another dimension using the help of the Melodica Portal, created to match the singing Songstresses mind. In the dating world, every action cost Mind Crystal that always dropped by monsters or you can exchange your money with the Mind Crystals.

Having Fun Around the City:

- In Ar melodica you'll be focused at one city, which is Midgard and that is where your HQ is located. In Ar melodica you can decorate your HQ by shopping for decorations such as statues, plants, and etc. And also some decorations are functionable for instance a training portal, so that you could train choosing the level of difficulty. You can also visit local restaurants at the west part of Midgard, and sometimes you will unlock conversations while eating at the restaurant. The town also features a Colloseum, an Airship District, and many more things.

Travel with the Map Navigator:

- In Ar melodica travelling is way simple as you only need to use the Map Navigator on the world map and then choose your destination without the fuss of walking a long way to your destination. With the map navigator travelling is just a piece of cake!

Dating Mini Games:

- Before going on dates with a Songstress, you must first raise their Intimacy to a certain level. Usually, as you progress the game their Intimacy will rise but sometimes, it isn't enough. You can raise their Intimacy by playing mini games with them. Anastasia for instance, her dating mini game is cooking. It's loads of fun as you need to follow her every step making a cake or improvise to create a new dish. As long as it succeeds, her Intimacy will go up and you'll also get the result of your cooking. Success or a fiasco!

Progress: 26.9% (It's going steady as usually when i'm working on it for an hour or two it goes up by 1%)

Well, this is the current feature for Ar melodica. I might have forgotten to write another feature or i haven't come up with one yet ^^ I'll be sure to update! (I'll add some screenshots later if i have some time)

-BQ- ^^ V

I thought i add some of the main characters bio since i've already finished making all the characters, but i still have to finish up making the skill list. So here are the characters! (I'll just post up the Songstresses bio's first):

- Songstresses -

Name: Anastasia Vaytel Runelia
Age: 17
Song Weapon: Runelico

Alex's childhood friend and playmate when she moved to Midgard around 10 years ago. She lost her mother and father, and has no memory of what happened to them, some say it was because she was shocked from the death of her parents. Has a kind, cheerful, and optimistic attitude but at times she can be vary naive. She joined the Midgard Knights to help the elimination of Infel Contagia victims and her capabilities as a songstress exceed some of the other songstresses. Her main Song Magic elements are Fire, Wind, and Light. Her weapon, "Runelico" was in her possession ever since she moved and lived at Midgard.

Name: Dorothy Almarth
Age: 19
Song Weapon: Hymnos

A cold and mysterious figure around the party originated from the desert town of Sveleria.. She met Alex and co. in the Troubadour Recital at the Music and Arts city of Troubadour. She and his partner broke bonds and later on she became Alex's partner instead. Strong willed, and wise, but sometimes can be hard-headed and haughty. She seems to hide a secret concerning the Song of Melodious and has some connections with Anastasia. Her main Song Magic elemnts are Water, Earth, and Darkness. Her weapon, "Hymnos" was given to her by her grandfather. The weapon itself acts as a resonation tool to further power her Song Magic.

A soul possessing Anastasia after an Infel Contagia breakout. Soft-spoken and kind, and often gives advice to Anastasia. She can mainly control Anastasia's body and will if given the permission and she seems like she have absolute knowledge about the Hymns and Song Magic.

She is unplayable at the most part of the game, but will be playable later on after Anastasia frees her from her body. Cleya's Song Magic main elements are Light, Darkness, and Elemental. Her weapon, "Platina" can be summoned at any times when she summons it with Song Magic. It is unknown where the sword originally came from.

Progress: 30. 9%

So... in total there are three songstresses and plus 5 battle characters, so there are 8 PC in my game. Mainly, at some part of the game you will have to bring important characters into your party like say 2 people including the main character. The remaining spot can be any character, though the remaining character won't affect the story nor they would talk, so they only hep to fight. I'll add the 5 other characters bio later. Thank you~ ^^

At last~ I've finally finished with the screenshots. There's only six for now, since i haven't finished much of the maps and Midgard's each part of town still needs some finishing. Good thing the result wasn't too bad because i was using my cellphone. So here it is ^^


This... this is still the map editor~

This is the World Map! The Map Navigator actually. With it you could travel to places easily and in a snap and still can enjoy the world map ^^

And here we are. Midgard! Though this is only the Cntral part of Midgard. There is the western part, eastern part, the slums, the estate, the airship district, the park, and the Ruffini Mansion which is...

The HQ ^^ Well, it's practically bland and barren but you could customize it with trees later.

The Filgar Woods. The entrance.

Still Filgar Woods. The Tree of Life...

That's probably it for now ^^ Tell me what you think.

Those are nice!

Good luck on the game.

I like the second from the top and second from the bottom the best. Nice work.

I really like the map sector. That looks awsome. I was wondering why does the four way bridge look bright yellow? I thought it was the camera, but it's like that in two pics. Anyway keep up the good work.

Very nice screens, BQ. Looking forward to the game.

Thanks

Though, it did come out a little blurry but i have to admit the screenshot at the map navigator and at the Filgar Woods went out quiet nice ^^

@Lausen- Oh, well i actually made it like that so that it wasn't all a rock field. Added the dirt to it to make it more colorful.

I actuall think it looks kinda cool that way. I just didn't know you could make something that bright. My game has a much darker feel so I haven't gotten the chance to play around with all the different climate. I basically have to stick with wastelads. Well keep up the good work.

Is this the retooled PoC you were talking about, BQ?

@Lausen- Thanks ^^

@1ce- Nope. This one is a whole different game. PoC is finished but i'm still not uploading it yet. I'm thinking of releasing it with this game together, hopefully ^^
