Happy Bones: The State of The Game!

Hey Everybody! Here in about a week and a half, we'll be coming up on the TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Happy Bones! It certainly feels like it's been longer than that for me, but hey, that's exciting!

changedHey Everybody!I do not have an event planned, but I DO have another game releasing

changedALL RIGHT LET'S TALK BUSINESS!So what you see in those GIFs is a little bit of early footage of a 'Happy Bones' online RPG that I had in development for a bit. It featured the same hand-drawn art style as the first game and saw the player take control of an alpha human some years after the events of Infernal, essentially playing out the story of ACT 2. Players were able to really create their unique character in the Happy Bones art style, and choose one of the three original classes (Brave, Holy, Occult). There were world events, animated attacks, etc. Sadly, I've moved on from this project for now, but it was fun and I'm not opposed to returning to it in the future. I'll figure out something in regard to the proper continuation of Infernal.

addedALL RIGHT LET'S TALK BUSINESS!Once RPG Maker Unite comes out I'd like to start on a Happy Bones 2 (proper). This wouldn't be a direct sequel, think the Final Fantasy games, similar themes, new characters, self-contained.

That means it's been two years with you lovely bunch!

ALL RIGHT LET'S TALK BUSINESS!

Let me get the kind of bad news out of the way first:

Happy Bones Infernal ACT 2 has been canceled...sort of.

The story will still be told but I've decided to revert any future mainline Happy Bones games to a hand-drawn art style. There was too much content in Act 2 and too much planned that it just didn't feel right putting it after such an epic main story.

Infernal will still receive an update with an extended ending, however.

I've been exploring many ways to tell it, and for a while I had something pretty cool going.

Happy Bones 1 Final Update?

It's coming, don't you worry. I wanted to release it on the 2 Year Anniversary but that isn't going to happen. I'm dedicated to making it as CHONKY as possible because after that I'm going to be DONE DONE with the updates for it.

You're still getting that summoner class!

Well, that's really it!
