The Legend of Leitor's Edge - Last Update - 7.29.07

[Pet Terry]

It's about time!!!

Good to hear you're still working on this. That character sketch looks absolutely awesome by the way...

[Meowster]

Read below, Yufster Hehehehe

Yes, I realize that, that's why I was poking fun at you for being 'fired'  

[Snake]

Thanks everyone for the support.

Vel and Yuffy. I feel better about it now, since you seem pretty cool about it. It was great to have you guys a part of the team, but now I'd rather keep it simple.

UPDATE:
The script for the opening of the game is finished (remember that I'm talking about the playable opening, not the intro. The intro has been finished for while now...never got around to updating). As soon as I finish the outline for the new storyline I'll send it and the outline to Rincey so he can put his magic into it. We should have the storyline squared away soon after we put our minds together. It's already about figured out.
The opening scene has changed from the original (a couple more branches added last night) and the storyline has changed. Who Seth encounters in the begining is a suprise
I also added a Game Progress section in the first post.

Heyhey, an update, at last! Too bad to see it was one about firing team members...
Nice of you to keep me, though, Snake - It was a long time since I got any LE-stuff, so I'll be more than eager to get back into plotting and helping with the story again. Just send me a mail and I'll be answering...

Yes...
...Let's make some magyck!
I'll just go and find Featherdusters Tome of Dragon Enchantment, and then we're off...

Heaps cool. It's good to know this game is still in development. I have been looking foreward to it for some time. I think with a more focussed approach then it should work out better. Keep up the good work.

[Vel]

Heh, Vel's the one that warned me that getting Yuffy might be going to far, and he was right.

And yet you still fire ME? you beotch!!!!!!!

[Snake]

You were warning about getting too many members. You were right about that, I should have just stuck with Rincewind and Squinky from the start.

But let's not get off topic. Stick to the game and how much it's gonna slap nothing's ass

Rince, while I'm here:
You'll probably get the stuff soon, like within the next day or so. I haven't had much time between work to polish it up and having connection problems.
If I wasn't lazy, I'd do it tonight...HAR HAR HAR!!1


--Snake

[Rincewind]

Lazy? Work? Connection? Meh, admit it, man - You ARE doing it entirely on your own, you just don't want to tell me...

I don't know if I told you either, but you can reach me on msn, finally - If you need to quickly exchange ideas and similar. Same as my e-mail.

Yeah I just found out about you on MSN. I signed on and that little messege thing popped up. That's awesome, man!

I'll send you the stuff tonight definately. I also made a new title screen for the hell of it the yesterday (since I was going to anyway) that I'd like to show ye.

-EDIT--
I've sent the stuff to Rincewind and we are now in the revision stage. Soon we'll be on the road to complete AGS goodness!
For the fuck of it, here's the new title screen:

[Pet Terry]

Looks awesome!

[Squinky]

Excellent new title screen...

[Nine Toes]

Very nice.  

I'm also happy to see that you in fact have not given up on this one and are starting to get back to working on it.

Go get 'em!

Snake -

Search the internet for the song "Winterland" by Tor Linloken, it was a song used in TLJ played from a jukebox.  I think this song might be right on the money for what you were looking for and its pretty cool.

The mp3s are available on the official site. Dude, if anyone doesn't have numbers 33-36, you're cheating yourself. (If you're a trance fan.)

[Snake]

Stuh & Davis: Thank you for the ideas for that music, but there will be original Leitor's Edge music being composed by Marcus Krupa (Loominous)

Rincewind: Man, I need to get back to ya. I've really been having shitty problems with my connection lately. Plus hotmail doesn't work for me half the time again. Also I've been working on a little action game for fun since, well, LE is causing more stress than anything

Your idea about the woods is good, we'll do that. One thing though that we gotta figure out is when all these different events take place. Like for example, during the beginning there is a branch where Seth definately ends up running into the woods and hides out for a few minutes. He could encounter those people there, but the information can't be too informative, since he shouldn't get all of it at once...it needs to be gradual during the whole game. You know what I'm trying to say? So there's got to be numorous places during these varying branches where he learns the same information, but in a different way and/or gets only bits of it at a time.


--Snake

[Rincewind]

Heh, I was a bit worried there again, that you'd let me go and did on your own... Too bad to hear about the connection and the other problems - Hopefully it'll work out so we can get things going... Hehe...

Yeah, I get your point - Instead of giving out huge hunks of info at one point, we give small pieces at various places... Good idea.
I've also got some dialogues coming up right now, I'll write them down and then send them to you, ok?  

[Snake]

Sweet, man! Sounds awesome I'd love to hear more of your side of what should happen where and when since, well, I've racked my brain enough before I sent you that update

Yeah, I really need to switch back to my old ISP, this one totally sucks ass...I mean, if it's not letting me on at all, it only let's me on for (and literally, I did a little test) 1:21 seconds sometimes at the most. The best times to stay on withought more than 1 or 2 disconnections is very late at night...like right now, damnet!!


--Snake

[Rincewind]

Ok, I sent you the latest update now, so check your mail...
It includes the dialogues and my two pennies when it comes to the where/when-issue...
Hopefully it'll be of some use...

[Snake]

Hello, everybody.
I wanted to give those of you waiting for the release of leitors edge a quick progress report.
It's been dormant for quite some time. I want to assure all of you that it is NOT canceled. Someday you will see the first part of this game.

There have been complications in the past with certain aspects of the game's story, and they don't seem to want to stop. I thought everything was pretty much ironed out and I was ready to send Rincewind his first update in months, but recently for the first time I tried explaining everything about the game's character's, the storyline and backstories to my girlfriend and discovered a few quirks. SHIT! You never really notice things that count until your ideas become verbal. OUCH!

So here's my plan. If these things can't be worked out between Me, Rincewind and a little help from my girlfriend, then I plan to start fresh.

Rincewind, I'll get the update to you very very very very soon. It's like 95% ready.

Anyway, once we get going again and while I'm waiting for Rincewind to get back to me, I'll be working on either the storyline to MoNKeY WReNCH or THE END, or maybe both. Those two games are a little less of a cluster fuck to work on

A little advice to anybody who hasn't released jack shit like me yet: Nobody has ever been more right than Andail regarding adventure game developers.

--EDIT--
For the longest time I had quoted him in my signature, but I forgot I had recently changed it.
What he said pretty much stated, "Don't promote your game so early on in the developement stage or it'll never see the light of day."

I'll have to find it, I know I saved it when I changed signatures.

--EDIT 2--
Here it is:

...it's commonly known that a curse strikes those games which are exposed to public before they have even started to take shape...

Leitors Edge always looked like a wicked cool game, so I hope you can finish it someday.  Don't get discouraged!
