You landed on what map screen? I played this months ago and couldnt get past the wall and door in the mountain area... can you get past that?

oh i just meant the map of the peninsula. it was a bit disappointing to see that's all there is to it at the moment, but being used to VNs on here it was already nice to see any free roam at all
Has meandraco even streamed recently? Everything says 2022 still
Oh he actually posted in here in March! I was afraid he was maybe dead like kyrieru

He streamed again last month actually.
He's still active on the Official TU Discord.
(V3's release date is still just "I'm working on it." though.)
Honestly, just the confirmation alone that hes working on it still is enough, these things take timeHe streamed again last month actually.

While I'd love to see progress every so often to fuel excitement at least its not complete radio silence

It's a miracle that this circus has been going on for 5+ years already. I wonder how this will all end, with a statement like "the dog ate my homework my hard drive broke and everything related to the game was lost"? If it all ends in banal radio silence, I will be very disappointed.

If it was open source people would actually be able to see how much progress he's made and what's new.
Something tells me that he's just milking and not actually working on it though since it's been 5+ years and he's released nothing, not even a demo of the Unity port that allegedly exists.
*sigh*
Yeah, its really disappointing how long this has been radio silent for. I remember when i first came across this years ago and how fucking hyped I was for the next release, which was fairly frequent for a time, then more and more time passed per update to the point where his blog for updates just...stopped getting updates.
I'll be very happy for when/if V3 drops, but at this point i don't wanna give myself hope

Honestly there is something so insanely special about this game, no other comes even close. If nothing comes of this I might pick a project up myself as a spiritual successor. I know how to 2D and 3D art to a pretty good standard, just need a little bit of programming knowledge to get me going. I've done projects in unity and unreal so I've got grounds to get going.
I've got some personal life things to finish up but once I have, this is a serious contender for a project. It would just be so hard to capture that special something this game has
No offence to Meandraco, but the pace of progress for a game like this is not something that can sustain a fan base or get a game actually done in the long run.
Perfection is the enemy of progress after all.

There's nothing stopping you doing so despite of the state of Teraurge (Luckily they can't patent ideas and Meandraco is not Nintendo or WB). The more the merrier
The "Specialness" comes from Meandraco's Artistic Vision, and I don't think it's something that can be replicated.
Coding and Engineering is the ground work and it can solidify a project greatly, what really matters (To audiences) is the creativity on top of that (sadly).
But I don't think you need to be a "spiritual successor" (IMO that's more of a Marketing Term), Every game is an iteration, you took inspiration and do your own spin on it.

The only thing stopping me is my current work load, I am completely swamped so it's hard to get my foot in the door with something like this.
The vision that Meandraco has is done so well, the world just feels alive and teeming with so much lore that it's really more of a worldbuilding project than a game project, it's something you need to take so mcuh time to consider to even get remotely good. I think the creativity aspect of this game is in its gameplay with how free and open it is to do what you want, which is what I'd like to replicate if I were to make something of my own (plus of course the terato stuff in the game)
I was thinking of making a solid mod for the game at some point with some homebrew creatures, but again life got in the way and not being able to create new locations is quite limiting. I was working with someone way back to make a subni expansion mod together but that fell apart when I stopped hearing back from them
Now that I think about it, I have a completely unrelated worldbuilding side project that could probably be tweaked and retrofitted to be a great setting for a game like this, set on a world with very low gravity since I've already designed a lot of creatures for that world. This might be a great starting point for me

IIRC MD has made mod support available for Teraurge, so if you want you can look up his tutorials on the wiki on his blog page and make the mod you wanted to make. I don't know how complex or fleshed out this system is, but apparently you can edit character dialogues and backgrounds, which should be plenty enough to make something that doesn't take that much of your time.I was thinking of making a solid mod for the game at some point with some homebrew creatures, but again life got in the way and not being able to create new locations is quite limiting.

Yeah I know, but there's 0 support for adding your own locations, so it's quite limiting in that sense, I did the illustrations mostly for the mod we were working on, that was years ago though, I think I remember posting some of the pics in this thread. You are right about it being really simple to add in characters and bgs, I'm surprised there haven't really been any mods made for this game.
I am going to fet started on the world of mine tonight and slowly chip away at it over the coming months

ctrl+m opens in-game map editor but it might be broken at least that I have found in either case I made a map file editor using python
You must be registered to see the links
and to avoid having to install all of python and the required libraries to make it work there is an exe version in the read me and much to what you'd expect python is kind of shit so my editor is not perfect but its better than nothing maybe always make backups

Yes, and you know it, I'm still working on the game.
