Fair enough on that last bit, and once again, sorry about that whole deal. I probably should not have replied knowing how tired I was, I might've caught my fumble earlier had I just waited until morning.
I was dreading you'd say that...my completionist genes are in shambles-
Because you're not looking in the right place. The thread itself will often have the updates much sooner than the main post will. Also, note that the main post HAS been updated, just not for the most recent build. Someone mixed up the dates, but it was properly updated a little over a month ago. (It wouldn't make sense for the release date to be this year and the last update to be last year, now would it?) If you want the most recent build, look up "February" in the thread.
Use italic and go:
Shouldn't the blog be removed from the title post then?
I guess, the guide link doesn't lead anywhere either but that's a decision for the original poster or the moderators.
he moved the blog to this site
FOBS seems to be a game made in parallel to his bigger, paid projects - at least that's what his release cadence seems to imply. I don't think your definition of 'dead' makes any sense at all. you're merely predicting that it might be abandoned, or retain its unfinished state - but if he adds 2 or so new enemies every month over the course of a few years - uses it as a testing ground, as you say, we'll have a competent game with tons of content to play through anyways.
And these games will be called Shironoyakata, Shironoyakata2, SuccubusAffection2, SuccubusAffection3 etc. But not this game.
The reason why it's separated in two games is because of engine limitations, the old game engine was extremely limiting on what zell could do with his game, at one point it reached a limit on the content which he could add before making the game explode, that's why we have FoBS A and FoBS B it has nothing to do with test of mechanics or anything like that
This is possibly the worst (and only) example as succubus affection had entirely different combat mechanics (or mechanics) than fobs at the time of release, at that time fobs didn't even have 3 combo attack, all you could do was spam the attack button and hope for the best, extremely rudimentary.
Something you probably don't know is that in Succubus Affection, Shiro no Yakata and probably future projects like Succubus Affection 2, Zell is ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ART, and in the case of the first one they (Zell) only made the sprites for the game, there was other artist involved too (probably responsible for the backgrounds and map design). Everything else, with the exception of the soundtrack (made by someone else), was entirely done by Ansala.
Riddle me this, Batman. If this is only to be treated as a tech demo, then how would you explain the meticulous work put into the text riddled throughout the game? Given, you may not have seen it, which is forgivable to some degree since the discovery of it being right there under our noses is relatively new, but why would a tech demo include something as unnecessary as that ON TOP OF a fully functional menu, a map with fast travel, a bunch of unique items, and a whole foot race for shits and giggles? Not to mention the tutorial that's in the works. So I can understand if you're impatient, but assuming that this game will remain a tech demo because other projects are being worked on is like saying someone's not gonna finish their math homework because they're also working on English homework. It's an assumption that's unfair to the person doing the work.And these games will be called Shironoyakata, Shironoyakata2, SuccubusAffection2, SuccubusAffection3 etc. But not this game.
Hm, We shouldnt jump to conclusions.
