System Update and Why the Engine Change


This was the last thing we were working on until Archeia got an invitation to beta test a newer, faster version of the engine we were using.

We apologize for the wait, but you see, the reason we want to change is that around 0:44, the map system drops from 60 fps to 25 fps. We couldn't find the reason why, but in the newer engine, this shouldn't happen. That's why we're opting to transfer to this new engine. While it looks faster in the video because Archeia did a modification in the code, we just felt that the newer engine would be better for the sake of our sanity.

We're very sorry about this. Please be patient with us, a little while longer.

Archeia says:
If you want to compare it to the original, you can see it below. Just note that is the speed of the transitions of the game and we didn't slow it down or whatsoever.

What happened?!

We're very sorry if things haven't been progressing as of late. And yes, you guessed it, College. Winter break is almost up. Finals is coming nearer and nobody has time to even talk to each other. Timezones makes a huge effect and people having Thesis or Term papers to submit. In short, busy~

Archeia and Renasci has been fixing another issue too. We won't be elaborate, but that ate most of our time. But during one of the few moments we worked on BBI, we DID find a way to make the code cleaner. The only problem with this is that we have to redo what we have done. We also remembered that by default, the engine had text skipping, but it was disabled in this script we're using. We're currently trying to fix this issue. Mostly because the Alphonse cursor won't stay on the end of each message. We'll post a poll later to ask which one people prefer.


We will now leave off some art:
