Weekly Update

I did very little this week - other than compile a list of tasks based on feedback from testers of the third alpha run of Atonal Dreams - because I had another MRI scan to check if my brain cancer has returned!

2 years ago1,173 words
I announced the start of the third alpha test of Atonal Dreams on Monday... but so far only one person has provided feedback. It's discouraging, but I blame myself!

Weekly Update - On Testing's Doorstep + Mentales
3 years ago1,776 words
I'm at the point with Atonal Dreams now where I can almost start the next round of alpha testing. I know I've been saying that for probably months, but while then it was on the horizon, now I'm standing on the doorstep. I've got badly burned out getting here, though, so I've also been recovering a bit by working on a side project, Mentales!

Atonal Dreams Weekly Update 14 - Battle Polishing, Next Steps (Demo soon?)
4 years ago - Edited 4 years ago1,803 words
I've been adding some final features and tweaks to Atonal Dreams' battle system, with the intention of having something playable that I can show off to get some opinions about before proceeding. I'm not actually sure where to release that, though; I've seen a few conflicting things!

This is a post I used for testing the new comments system. I've kept the silly fake comments since they amuse me, but you can't comment on this yourself.READ MORE

Memody: Sindrel Song Testing - v0.12 BETA (EDIT: v0.13 BETA)
5 years ago1,840 words
Here's another update, which addresses the biggest remaining issue - rewarding the player's performance - in the form of 30 clothing items, and the shrine where you can acquire or equip them. The game is likely in its final form now; I still need to fix a few bugs, but I've now finally finished all the major content!

Memody: Sindrel Song Testing - Week 2 - Is this fun??
5 years ago2,743 words
Testing for Memody: Sindrel Song has been underway for over two weeks now, and some of the testers have finished the game. Yay! I've been doing a lot to improve the experience based on feedback - most notably adding features to address difficulty concerns - but I still have some big concerns. Most importantly, is the game actually fun?

Memody: Sindrel Song Testing - Week 1 - Difficulty Difficulties (UPDATE)
5 years ago4,464 words
It's been just over a week since testing on Memody: Sindrel Song started, and there's been a whole lot of high-quality feedback to sift through! I've fixed some bugs and added some relatively minor technical things, but I'm concerned about some of the more subjective aspects, as the opinions from different people seem to vary quite drastically. Most notably, the difficulty is still a concern; I feel it'll be difficult to find the right balance there.

MSS Testing - Addressing Difficulty
6 years ago1,403 words
Feedback's continuing to come in, and a lot of interesting things have been mentioned, many of which I'd like to address at some point before release. Many are thematic or aesthetic, and some are really weird bugs, but the biggest thing I feel I need to address is the difficulty. (I've pinned ∞ the feedback post ∞ just under this one; we should continue to use that for more general feedback for now. I felt this should be a separate post though.)

Memody: Sindrel Song - Testing (UPDATE: v0.06 BETA)
6 years ago2,930 words
Gasp, Memody: Sindrel Song testing is finally upon us! I've set up this blog post to include a list of issues I'm working on or aware of, and I think it could be useful if you - the testers - could provide your feedback in the comments section here so then it's all in one place.

Sindrel Song Testing 1
6 years ago1,384 words
If you're interested in testing Sindrel Song (likely on PC first), let me know! Also some of the usual frantic rantings about this long-dreaded phase in this game's life cycle... EDIT: I think I'll stop accepting testers for now. Perhaps I'll run a 'phase 2' of testing later, once some changes have been made, so then I can know that they've actually fixed what they should have.
