Hello guys, Tjord here with new version of Dark Lord Rises. As promised, this is bugfixing update, and since recent release had surprisingly little gamebreaking bugs, this is only minor update. Or it should be...
Unfortunately, after much thought I decided to put the game development on hiatus. Yes, one of those hiatuses that are highly likely to last indefinitely.
"Why Tjord, why would you do this?! You're tearing me apart, Tjord!" I hear you saying already.
Well, reason is simple: I kind lost my drive when it comes to developing the game. While I'm decently satisfied with the story, limitations of RPG Maker continue to frustrate me and limit enjoyment I get from my work. Other thing, erotic side of the game, instead of being integral part of my vision, kinda became an unwanted side and a chore to write/set up.
For all those years I've been tempted to set aside this project and start something new, but I've fought those notions. But not this time. I've decided to start something new, something better thought off than TDLR (which was, let's be honest, my first, amateurish attempt to make a game).
To sweeten the deal for you, I'm making what I think is unprecedented move: 0.3.4b is UNENCRYPTED version of the game. Yes, you read this right! Those of you, who want to and have RPG Maker VX Ace can continue the story or make changes you want (like, fixing typos :D). I don't mind if you use those few of my assets for your games or whatever.
Just, please don't go posting skeleton of the game and claiming it's your own. I'd be quite sad to see that.
Here download link.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed\ will enjoy The Dark Lord Rises for what it is. See you again!
For a first effort, it was pretty great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the work, and I hope your next endeavor is as this one!
kinda supprised at this, while at the same time i saw this comming, still your project right here is a fan favo of mine.
ReplyDeleteSo i hope someone else will pick up where you left. :)
Well, that's sad to hear friend, but at the same time, I'm looking forward to what you do next. Your stories are really interesting, and I'd love to see more. :)
ReplyDeleteI know i'm asking a little more but maybe can you please release a text file where you (in general or not)say what was the planned story? even some lines can help if someone whant to continue where you left. I'm looking forward to your next story/game.
ReplyDeleteWas awesome for a first game. I'm saddened that TDLR is going to be one of those big 'what if...' games but I did really enjoy my time with it and TDLR is after all, a free game. A project of passion. I'm appreciative of just getting to play and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your hard work and sharing Tjord.
Will you be creating a new blog for the new game and provide the link here? Or will you just be making the posts for the new game here?
ReplyDeleteIt's sad but actually i saw it coming for some time. Especially when you launched the events after the prince captured Renan, i missed something from the game itself, as if the subsequent stages of the game where more linear and not the "attention catcher" the beggining the game was, Ugovarti maked that spark again, but in the end it returned to same stage as before. So, it's sad TDLR may be at it's end, but please do continue making games, maybe something non-erotic and without the limitations this project had. You are very good at it, so i'm waiting some good news and good luck with whatever you try! Thanks for the amazing experience this was!
ReplyDeleteI'm really sad. Can you at least give us all info on how the plot would have progressed? The plot of the game was surprisingly interesting, honestly.
ReplyDeleteAlso, will your next game still involve corruption and mind control?
ReplyDeleteDamn it now I'm really sad, why do the best ones always die :(
ReplyDeleteSad to have it in writing but I kinda saw it coming. I wish you all the best in your future projects. You might wann give something non-erotic a try. The beginning of the game was fun even without it and all the typos & grammatical errors. If you do decide to try your hand at something new; I'd be quite interested in trying it out. Anyway; thanks for what you made so far and good luck on the rest :)
ReplyDeletebut the chocolate girls why i still need my penis back
