Sheesh...been a while since I posted an update. To be honest I was spending so much time on this project in December/January that I burnt myself out. I took some time off to catch up on games/movies I had been missing and worked on some side projects. The mod is going relatively smoothly although I keep having to prevent myself from wanting to go on all sorts of story tangents and blow this mod up to a ridiculous scale. Currently, I'm spending most of my time scripting dialogue together.

I've been debating back and forth on releasing an open beta version that would contain a significant chunk of the main storyline (unpolished w/no side quests). However, there's part of me that wants to release the mod and have you guys experience it in its totality. A couple months back I had wanted the mod to be ready around this time but I have decided to forgo rushing it out to polish it off. I'll probably grab someone to do a mildly polished closed beta of the entire mod sometime this month to help direct me in finishing it.

I would rather you took your time on the mod rather than do a fast and dirty job - also, feel free to take breaks. We're not pining for Sacrifice that much.  ;)

Are we? ARE WE REALLY? *whips TheBear* Finish it! NAO!

But yeah, seriously, what Chibi said. I also have a mod going that is long from done and I also had a major start, but every small thing is starting to work against me. I'm a perfectionist and all, and some things just aren't good enough.

Not yet - as I said, it's not finished.

If you were to give a percentage of overall completeness of sacrifice what would that percentage be?

I'd say it is about 85% done. In the scripting realm there are two scripts near the end of the game that I'm struggling to figure out. Both deal with getting bosses to have only one attack state and only attack when told to do so. Story wise I know what happens in terms of events but I've been struggling with dialogue for some of the later sequences. Other dialogue needs some sprucing up as well but as this is one of my first attempts at a large writing project I don't think I'll be completely satisfied with it. I've recruited Xiagan to do some closed beta testing for me. I'm hoping he will be able to provide some objective criticsm to help direct me in completing the project. My goal is to get him a working but not complete version of the mod in the very near future.

I'm finishing up my last semester in college which is proving to be more work than usual but I'm continuing to put time in here and there in finishing this mod. Here's hoping someone testing the mod helps me quicken the pace to the finish line.

Mmmm, delicious screenies..  ^-^

More than the mod work, good luck with the schooling. Remember you can always go back and finish this but you can't so easily repeat college so you gotta give it your all first time through. ;)

Very nice work and great screens.
If you need any more help with scripts or beta testing or anything like that, ask.
Of course, like Hiro said, priorities first.

Those shots are beautiful - I love your juxtaposition of the Sun Temple and the Ice Veil.  :)

If you'd like any help with writing or proofreading, or just want someone to bounce ideas off of, drop me a PM.  I'm an experienced writer/editor, and I'd love for this to turn out well.  A big pet peeve of mine is writing for comics/games/mods turning out terribly when the rest of the content is stellar.  Ugh, or music.  I just got a new album a few days ago that I loved, but in the first song "aloud" was used in the liner notes instead of "allowed".  I don't know how people can possibly miss shit like that, but it happens constantly.

Anyway, let me know if I can help in some capacity.  Either way, I wish you luck.  Been looking forward to seeing a playable version of this.

Didn't realize you were still around Alpha! Xiagan is having trouble getting Aquaria working on his computer if you'd like to hop on as a tester. If you see some way to get the scripts working I'm cool with that as well.

I'll definitely take you up on that offer Quemaqua. Getting the mod together for early testing is my priority at the moment but I'll pm you the script once I'm able to spend a little more time with it. Bouncing ideas back and forth would be great.

TheBear, sure, send me a PM with a link to your mod and the few things you'd like to get working and how you'd want it to work.
I'd love to help with this great mod. =D

Yes! It's nice to see some (visible) progress on this mod. I really hope this gets done, I want to see what aquaria could have been in RPG form.
