New Time Lapse Video
This video is much shorter as there was no programming required for the map. I included a close up swim through at the end of the video for non Aquaria experienced people I show the video to (feel free to skip this part).

Release Schedule
Sacrifice is more or less done and I'm simply going back over things doing a bit of minor polish. I sent AlphaSoldier and Quemaqua the most recent build of Sacrifice late Sunday for testing. Once I've fixed everything they find (that I'm capable of fixing) I'll be putting the mod up for a public release. I don't know about you guys but I'm excited!

Updated World Map + Vision Maps

[Hiro]

DEFINATELY.

Cool cool cool cool

Very beautiful map

Can I suggest to add some light and "pe sparkle" effects around the crystals that are in the shadows ? I love the idea that crystals are like living creatures generating a soft glow , but that's maybe just me lol

Can't wait.

[TheBear]

Yeah, as I was watching the video on youtube I realized I forgot to add sparkle effects to each group of crystals. I'll try a glow and see how that looks.

can't wait !!!!!

Sacrifice will be releasing sometime over the next couple days. Quemaqua is doing some final editing that I threw his direction at the last minute while I continue to polish. I ran across MOD DB recently and spent some time yesterday setting up an account. There isn't anything different from what you can find in this thread but it will act as a repository for mod files and hopefully grab some extra attention. Hmm, actually there is. I added two examples of the dialogue trees on MOD DB that feature Elena trying to deal with Old Fred.

Looks sexy. 

The guys at Mod DB are really cool.

[Quemaqua]

I really dig the dialogue trees.  This mod is really slick.  I think you guys will get a real kick out of it... I'm looking forward to having the final version in my hands!

At the beginning of this project I knew nothing about programming. I can remember opening LUA files and having no clue what was going on. It's ridiculous how much I've learned about all aspects of game development doing this project and I can't wait to do more. I will, of course, continue to support Sacrifice by attempting to fix any and all bugs you may come across. Additional content in the form of levels, dialogue, and game modes (such as the defend missions) is a definite possibility sometime in the future. There have been more than a few times that I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel but I just kept going. No sacrifice (lulz) has been made in the quality department to rush this out in months past. There will always be more stuff I'll want to add to Sacrifice but for the moment I am content. I eagerly await your bugs and feedback as you play through the final days of Mithalas.

Thanks to AlphaSoldier for testing during Alpha, Quemaqua for editing roughly 16,000 words of dialogue, and Alec for making such an awesome toolset.

Yes, but it is a cut scene. There should be dialogue, camera panning, no user input, and it eventually loading out on its own. Are you using a Mac? Can someone else let me know if they're having problems? Quemaqua had no issues and it runs fine on my PC laptop as well so I'm confused.

[Aodhan]

I'm using a mac, and no problems at all with the beginning of the game... until i speak with the food merchant.
Then, when  i click on the cross to leave the food menu, it leaves the game.....

It leaves the game by going to the main menu or crashing? If you haven't already try exiting a dialogue window or the collectible vendor for me as they use almost identical code. Try the food merchant again as well to make sure it's a repeat error. Although, if clicking through the dialogue windows (next and options) is working I'm kinda confused. Hmm, let me know if it's just the food vendor. I don't know anyone with a Mac where I could test this myself and I'm not sure if there are any differences with isLeftMouse() etc functions with the Mac version.

[Aodhan]

I've tried to exit other dialogue windows without any problem.
And it's not a crash, it just leaves the game. Not to the main menu, but to my desktop

[edit] I try again and same problem, it just leaves the game, instead of the window : /
[edit 2] I've tried several times and it always leaves. Maybe it would not happen if i buy something but i've no money yet ^^
