This is the News section, I will
try to update as often as I can, displaying any news regarding the game's
progress, and additions or whatever. My goal is to update with everyday's
accomplishment's (but not revealing any storyline "spoilers"),
each and everyday. But since I go to school and work, it will be hard for
EVERY day to get an update, but at least 5or6 days a week you will see an
update here, so check back.
Sunday, October 3rd, 1999- The Fear of
Fire storyline and characters are decided.
Monday, October 4th, 1999- Production on
The Fear of Fire OFFICIALLY begins!! Story is written completely.
Tuesday October 5th, 1999- The first "Quest"
you will encounter is completed!! New characters are added.
Wednesday October 6th, 1999- Construction
on a new town has begun; More characters are added! Well I had some MAJOR
DIFFICULTIES today, involving some of the scripting of events, but here
at 11:03, I'm proud to say that they have been fixed, and the game thus
far is bug free, and I hope to keep it that way. Today was a big update,
I'm very proud to have done what I did today, as I think everyone will enjoy
the quest that I'm working on, it's entertaining, challenging, and somewhat
comical. I won't be able to update too much tomorrow or Friday, about like
today, I had to do a research paper today, and tomorrow I have a book report
to do, and Friday I work till about midnight!! But I'm off Saturday, and
I'll be working hard and nonstop all day to try and get as far into the
game as possible. And I know many people haven't even heard of this site
yet, but I encourage you to tell your friends, visit often, and EMAIL ME
PLEASE!! You don't know how frustrating it is to create a game, believe
me it is hard!! But if I start recieveing email, my confidence in myself
and the game will go up, and maybe that BETA version I promise you all will
show up sooner than we thought!! Thanks and I appreciate your all's support!
One other note, I will be putting storyline/character/screenshots up within
the next week or two, so the big moment you all are waiting for, find out
what the game is about, is almost upon us!!!!!! Goodnight alll!!!!
Thursday October 7th, 1999- Today just
fucking sucked!!! I have a book report due tomorrow, haven't read the book
or started the report, so not much happened to the game :( I was able to
work a little, and got a little more of the upcoming HUGE puzzle!! Probably
no update here tomorrow, since I work right after school until midnight,
so I'll talk to you guys on Saturday....
Saturday October 9th, 1999- Today was a
REALLY big day indeed!! The first "real" quest you encounter is
nearly completed, and I have worked extremely hard on it. I had lots of
problems getting the scripts to work together, but thus far there are zero
bugs (I had a lot, but fixed them all) that I know of, anyways. That brings
me to another point, if you want to be a BETA tester, I will be putting
up applications soon, you fill it out, then email it to me, and I'll review
it and get back to you. I'll take as many as I can get, so don't be afraid
to apply!! I encourage EVERYONE to do so!! Thanks!!
Sunday October 17th, 1999- Boy has it been
a while since the last update!! Well the reason for this, is that I've been
busy, I had two reports, a speech for school, plus a few tests. I also work,
so that slows progress too. I'm happy to announce that the Character page
is up, so you can sort of get to know a few characters, but I'll put more
up soon. OH YEAH, silly me, I forgot, I am releasing The Fear of Fire Alpha
v1.0 this Thursday, October 21st. It will be roughly the first hour or so
of gameplay, and is just a chance for me to see if people like it. If you
want a copy, then email me and I'll send you one, if not, you'll have to
wait until I get it up on the web. It will come with a "review"
card that you must fill out and return to me. I encourage everyone to participate,
as it will help me figure out what is good and bad so far, thanks!!
