Runda'Almare, and the story in the Coceter Chronicles have been a project of mine for nearly a decade. It is a fantasy world I had started to create as a means of escape, and is the product of my imagination.
An Imagination that was influenced heavily by one man. A man whose idea of a bedtime story was the Hobbit. A man who would let me stay up l...
2018-06-03 15:23:47 +0000 UTC View PostThis release is overdue, and I'd like to thank you all for your patients with me on this. Coceter Chronicles v.11 is a large overhaul to the current story and scenes. The change log for this version is far to large to post here, so I'm going to paraphrase what's done. Also a huge thanks to those of you who helped with the alpha/beta testing, you fo...
2017-09-28 15:26:39 +0000 UTC View PostThis isn't my typical Dev Update post, in fact there is no Dev Update post this week. Why you might ask...
Because I'm looking to release version .08 this week. I'm shooting for Wednesday, June 7th, or Thursday, June 8th. All the renders are done and I only need to set the scenes in game and make sure they are working as intended.
I'm being...

So what am I working on... Well v.08 of course. This next update will finally introduce the much requested Scene Replay ability. I toyed around with several options for this and in the end I've decided to implement it via any bed that Tabitha has access to sleep/rest in.
How it will work; Basically at any bed Tabitha can choose the new "Memory Fa...

One of the problems with making a game using RPGMaker is often times various changes make On Going Saves incompatible. This problem occured when working on a new UI layout for v.07 when I had to change several variables for the Journal and Story Options.
I didn't want to tell you folks that you'd have to restart (yet agian) so I've put in a syste...

First I'd like to apologize on the lack of dev news, I've been very sick for the last couple weeks. Did you guys know a tooth infection can travel to your heart, cause I didn't and found out the hard way.
Anyways, as for the update, I'm back at work on it. As shown above I've extended the Prince scene (again). Using the Arousal system I've ...
2017-01-03 15:19:04 +0000 UTC View PostPosting this Dev update early as I'm heading out of town for a few days. Here is what I've been working on and the reason the last game update had so much cut from it and was rather... mediocre.
As mentioned a couple post back I recently purchased several new assets for RPGMaker (with your help). As such I'd gone back and started redoing the...
2016-11-10 03:35:30 +0000 UTC View PostI've begun working on making the scenes a bit more interactive. Give you the player control over the action in a way. The above image doesn't quiet show off what I have in mind, but it does give an idea.
Essentially at any time during an animation you'll be able to speed it up, slow it down, and even change perspective to Tabitha's eyes or i...
After talking with a few folks and reading some comments on the GUI picture I posted a while back for the Java version, I decided to redo it. The picture here is what I'm toying with.
It wont always look that cluttered, I have everything activated in this screenshot. The journal in the top left corner will act as a button to the menus and...
2016-08-27 22:33:56 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to be doing something a little different with the next update, which is nearly ready for release, the rendering process is about 50% finished.
What I'm going to attempt doing is releasing two versions. One for Patrons and one for the Public. The Patron version will include an additional scene and a special quest line that will l...

This update isn't as big as the last one, mostly due to the amount of Map work needed in preparation for Chapter 2. But also because I'm revising the story and scenes a bit, to allow for more growth of Tabitha as a character. Expect Chapter 1 to grow a little larger in the next release.
Links have been updated above.

The Java version I've been working on is nearly done. The framework is in place and all that's left is to render a few needed backdrops and rewrite the events and scenes.
You may notice Tabitha has a few extra statistics now. The new version will have daily task and chores that Tabitha can do to increase these stats and open up new options in...
2016-07-19 14:59:28 +0000 UTC View PostI've begun the rendering process for the next update. Pretty happy with the upcoming scenes, especially one between Tabitha and Yusara that turned out great. After reworking a few textures, I've created a few new backdrops and renovated the Castle Bath area. Yusara and Sage have both had makeovers as well with their textures being redon...
2016-07-03 15:33:36 +0000 UTC View PostSo current or future Patrons are aware the next update is planned for mid July.
The current v.02 is so far the only version I have available.
