Boston reboot

narg

redoing boston harbor

i guess in the past when this was more of a war sim, the story and areas weren't that big of a deal, but now i kind of have to make the towns huge and more immersible. oh well, i really like this way more.

whoops

i just realized i spelled gilbert's gun wrong. Kurfürst.
my bad.

does anyone here understand Lithuanian because i dont know if toris' musket name makes any sense. i am paranoid because the original name for felik's musket sounded cool, but i checked it later with a polish buddy and i was like "oh shi" so yeah >:

i dont want a ... hm, engrithuanian name. haha. sorry what would be the lithuanian version of the word 'engrish' derp.

So I decided to release Songs of Innocence first. I was going to release the game in a full package, but it is harder to manage all of this with just one main developer because people kept ditching me so it is easier to just do it myself. X_x

Songs of Innocence lasts from the Age of Discovery until half of the Second Continental Congress after the passing of the Olive Branch Petition.

If you are curious about the locations you can go, these are the cities [not including forest/mountain ranges/forts]:

Colonies: Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts
13 Colonies Cities: Philadelphia, Boston, New York City
New France Cities: Quebec, Louisbourg, Beauport

A good chunk of it takes place in Canada/New France. I guess you don't really walk around the colonies as much until the second chunk of the game.

thanks raindrop memory. so cute X_X

a more useful update, currently figuring out the skillsets for the last class and character in the game: feliks.

the girl that began the trend of alfred's creatures hating arthur. Thanks to my friend Sovan for her. :> also revised alfred's bio a bit:

… a young man with wheat-colored hair and blue eyes like the fields and sky from the land that gave birth to him. Unlike the other spirits – even the spirits of many other colonies – Alfred was born with no one. He spent much of his childhood wandering around the wilderness avoiding the fierce guardians from Europe who was fighting for the land and him. After a confrontation between Francis and Arthur, he recognized a similar loneliness in the latter.
Though strong, healthy and hearty, Alfred almost perished during the Anglo-Spaniard Wars at Roanoke when his state forgot to send the colony supplies for three years. Arthur returned and saved Alfred from the clutches of death, and would move on to establish Jamestown. However, Arthur’s authority figures would call him abroad to tend to other matters after Govert was forced out of the Americas. Under King George the I and II and the Saluatory Neglect Acts, Alfred would live his life in mostly isolation on his Virginian Estate. Though he and Arthur’s colonists enjoyed the freedom, it meant, for Alfred, a childhood wrought with loneliness.
Alfred grew at an abnormal and unprecedented speed compared to the rest of his kind and by the time Arthur returned decades and decades later, Alfred was a young man and a stranger. Alfred is bright, resourceful and a quick-learner, and even has a workshop filled with inventions and ideas (which are mostly impractical or worthless) underneath his estate.
Despite any wit or intelligence, the boy is a “dream chaser” and has his head up in the clouds. Combined with decades and decades of isolation on the frontiers of the world, he is completely useless to all things involving politics and – to Arthur’s dismay – gentlemanly etiquette. He is absorbed into his own world to care about his surroundings.

Howdie.

I've had a lot of hurdles because one team mate vanished (probably because of the ghey) so I had to eat up and absorb his work and redesign the whole thing. I also had to go back and change up the script as a result since this game was heavily centered around the battles ... I guess now it plays more like a typical JRPG.


Another problem I had that I wasn't aware of was ... well, not a lot of people like the relationship between A&A. I am not familiar with, um, anime communities so I didn't foresee the "passion" in the series. Haha ... I guess I am pulling my hair a bit because I get trash from my friends who don't understand why I am working on this! And now from fans who don't like the re-imagining of it.


I guess this game is borderline AU. It's different enough to be its own story (even though I think it keeps most of the characterizations pretty faithfully), but familiar enough to be under Hetalia. There were a lot of reasons why the concept was changed. I explained it already, but I'll do it again. First off, if they were direct personifications, Arthur and Francis could just kill anyone and they couldn't be in your party. Secondly, I wanted to immerse players in the world, so it was nicer to observe things from a third-person perspective. Lastly, I guess I wanted to make the game more detailed with its history.

I think one thing that people need to understand about this game is that Arthur leaves for decades (perhaps 50 years?) and the two are not related here. There's an important reason for it. Most of their bonding comes from the French-Indian War, not Alfred's childhood. If it bothers so many people, just ... don't play it. X_X At one point, I was so frustrated with the two parties, I started wondering why bother at all. Though I care too much about this to really quit! I just felt kind of shocked.


I am adding a section below for Historical Figures. It will expand when I have the time to write more. >_<
