New update is coming!

Hello, fellas! Maybe you know that I'm working on my hobby project about school delinquents now. We almost finished with all background concepts and now I'm working on dialogues, battle mechanics and game structure.

Maybe you know that I'm working on my hobby project about school delinquents now. We almost finished with all background concepts and now I'm working on dialogues, battle mechanics and game structure. It's a lot of work, so I'm not sure when the game will be ready.

As for animations, we took animations from my last game Fading Afternoon, Ueda M. redesigned it for school uniform and my dad added shadows. And since FA used animations from Ringo, now I basically have updated Ringo animations. And some new ones.

I was thinking of making a DLC or even remaster the whole game, but now I decided to just update it for free.

I'm not sure how much content I'll add but my current list is this:

  1. Updated sprites for characters

  2. New skills for Mechanic (his original skills all sucked)

  3. Bicycles

  4. New street with bicycle store and fish store

  5. Fishing mini-game from FA

  6. Local co-op

  7. Lowering screen size from 250x140 to 240x135 so the game will look cleaner in full screen (I don't know why I made 250x140... all fonts looks horrible in full screen)

  8. Jumping will be removed

  9. Updated battle mechanics (I think that battle system could be better, compared to FA and my current project it's not that fun, so I want to update it)

  10. Skippable cutscenes and dialogues (as I made it in FA)

  11. Some new battle animations (I already made 1 brand new kick that wasn't even in FA, and I want to add some damaging animations from FA and maybe new throw skill for Judo class)

  12. Free roam mode

  13. Maybe something more...

I think that I'll start updating the game in a couple of weeks, so the first update will be ready by New Year. I won't add all this content in one patch, so it'll be added gradually.

Stay tuned, and thank you very much for your support and continuous interest in the game!

P.S.

Original version will stay available on a different branch.
