Hello space aadventurers, this is the report from november up to the current month(just ignore depending on the forum repeated content from previous reports):

Some may ask themselves why I hadn't shown the game demo on december or january as promised, well, at december I hadn't much time(christmas), now for january, around day 20 I already had the playable demo, but only for blenderplayer; so, I'm waiting to do the right thing, which was talking to BPPlayer creator(besides power shortages and others here) and requested some criptographic changes to its system, some of the improvements were already finished, but others still remain, which may take from 1 to 2 weeks. Important note, the demo I have should work only on linux, windows versions will follow, as for the mac OS version, the knowledge which the mac BGE has many more bugs than the others makes me think on dropping mac support, although I would like to have it. Burster is out of cogitation.

Due to my desire of already present a demo, I applied my efforts on improving what the game already had instead of new content, I know I said I would already work on the game first quest, but nothing matches a good ol demo. I tested and retested the rest though, and now I really will start working on the first Quest(currently on teh space map, which comes right before it). The initial setup, logo, title, main menu, character creation, intro and space map scenes are already stable; except at the character creation, were I found a nasty bug on blenderplayer itself and alrady reported it to someone who can make use of that to fix the issue, I already included a temporary workaround for that at that scene.

I decided to create my own version of the gui module with my improvements, using the original bgui module as base, which I called lgui(lunarts gui) to avoid confusions with the original bgui; I created a word processor for subtitle .srt and txt files for my game, changed the game site, added special thanks, created a window constructor which use only 8 small .pngs; now testing the game with the external blenderplayer instead of the built-in one, started to use a software for 2D animations; showed the work in progress intro video; changed the game minimum resolution to 1280x720(it works stretched with 1024x768 too), fited my game to the new BGE async libload; stop using .ogv(too many issues) for videos and am using .webm instead; and now I am using the most current blender and blenderplayer version from svn(the version which works that is) from blender foundation(bleeding edge updates) and much more.

The game now have a manual, which is too in progress, which can be obtained at: http://www.lunarts-studio.com.br/manual.pdf.

Regarding the campaign end at December, indiegogo taxes plus brazilian government taxes(D=) ate a considerable sum of the campaign amount; so, I recommend to you to choose a minimum value which is still a great amount discounting taxes, choose "funded or give the money back" instead of "Receive all funding" if you start a funding campaign.

That is it for now, thanks and until next time!
