Esteban... I'm telling you this as a friend because I love you like a brother:  All that coffee you drink?  Start using normal creamer, not the Irish cream.  We may have to have a forum intervention if you can't get this under control by yourself.

I enjoy Baileeze with my corn flakes. No harm in that.

The storm last week killed my development computer. Fortunately, I had the project backed up, and the hard drives were not damaged, so I was able to move it to a replacement system. It was a minor setback but all's well now.

[OldRover]

You only learn the hard way to back things up religiously. Needless to say, I have lost projects before...

As a side-effect of the issue, I can't access the chat anymore, since I don't remember the password or even the email address I used to sign up with.

Dammit.... i began soiling my pants up until i read the word "fortunately".

You weren't alone.

I couldn't imagine being so close to completing a project only to have it ripped from me due to a storm.

Although it is technically Eponasoft's tenth game (prior games include Two Lords, Coven, Two Ladies, The Lost Techbase, Monolith, Xymati [collab with MindRec], Hastilude [collab with Matwek], Baator, and Paradox Girl [the prequel to Lucretia]), this will be Eponasoft's first completed release... needless to say, I made sure to have backups of backups.

EDIT: Correction... thirteenth game. I forgot about Golden Axe, Einzelgänger, and Neutopia 3D, all of which were started before Lucretia.

Monolith! 

I know there wasn't a lot of public info, but the screenshots and video looked quite nice.

This always happens to me. It's friggin' annoying. You'd think I would learn by now.

I want to keep my old accounts at various places, but...

Just want to say as a new member to these boards, keep up the great work.  I've watched all the videos you've released thus far and the game looks great.  I pre-ordered a copy and cannot wait to play it!

[Nando]

Haven't been able to work on the game as much as I want, but thought a lil update was in order.

[VestCunt]

Bump. Because this shouldn't be allowed to slip to the second page.

[OldRover]

Unfortunately, this production has been at a standstill for some time now because both Nando and I have serious real-life issues to contend with and it has been very difficult to work on it.

Life happens and it can be a real bitch....

I know I am rooting for you to see this through, as is the community.

Keep on keepin on....

Thanks Dicer and Vestcunt, the wait will be worth it. We promise!

No problem. I'll wait years for this, it is most delicious. 

More importantly, I hope you and Nando are able to get to a better place. 

[roflmao]

Yes, take care of yourselves. The game will be awesome, whenever it comes out.

I see nothing. Was this just a teaser bump ?

^^What a dreary scene. Nice.

[Nando]

I can't wait to see the library.

[touko]

Great, is this the last level,or a shot of the end sequence ???

[esteban]

Great, is this the last level,or a shot of the end sequence ???

Transition from one stage to another...Lucretia will fly into castle...next stage is castle interior.

Actually, I just made that up.

That is correct. But wait until you see this stage's transition between environnents.

[esteban]

WOOHOO!

WOOHOO! 

Double WOOHOO!

I was away for a bit and came back to see this is still being worked on.

All is right on these forums.

At my request, Old_Rover included a Timeball mini-game after each boss battle.

You can't progress to the next stage unless you successfully solve the "Blodia Battle" (Rover came up with that name for the mini-game, I quite like it).

This is the first time I ever purposely hit the "report to moderator" button.

Hahahahahshashs. 

It is the truth, though. For real.

[schweaty]

anyone have an update on this?

[esteban]

Yes.

It is even more awesome than you think it will be.

You will, literally, drool on yourself.

[Lochlan]

anyone have an update on this?

I guess you haven't been around long enough to remember how long Mysterious Song took?  Pre-orders opened three years before the game was finally released.

I'm anxious to receive this game too (my pre-order will be a year and a half old next week!) but given what happened with the Old Rover's last project my expectations for the timeline are generous.  I can't feel totally let down because I knew this would happen, and as an over-extended developer myself I sympathize with these sorts of timeline issues.  (I think most people who have developed software have had at least one project go like this.)  I'm also personally confident that the game will eventually be released, although I wouldn't be shocked if it took another year or more.

If it were up to me I think I would offer beta access to customers who pre-ordered.

ah.. ok, i will cage my expectations.  i am at the anniversary of my pre-order and since this thread hadn't been updated in a while i thought maybe somebody knew something i didnt.  i'm a fairly patient dude.  if the answer is "still in the works" I'm good with that.

[OldRover]

Still in the works.

I am planning on putting out some new gameplay pics on Tuesday... possibly a new video.

Good to see you're still around, buddy! Screenshots look great.

[OldRover]

I am extremely difficult to kill.

I like the Skeletor heads.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous.

I see killer encyclopedia.

How is the hitbox on the main character? I'm always concerned when the player sprite is large in a shooter, because it can greatly complicate dodging (dodgery?).

When I play old-school shooters with a large main character I always find myself wishing that they had had the foresight to reduce the size of their hitbox. Not quite bullet-hell small but just small enough to skillfully weave in and out of enemy traffic.
