News from the developer: 26/2-09

It's been a long time since the last post, and a long time since I uploaded my last video to YouTube. But I've been really busy, unfortunalety not making games but I'm trying to put some time into game development whenever I can and feel for it. To kinda get myself back in shape I've been experimenting to regain creative thoughts. The results of those days has been Boulder Quest, a puzzle-RPG fully created in VX. You've probably seen these kinds of puzzle-mechanics before, but I'm planning to use them in completely different ways.

I've released a demo, or a beta, or an alpha or whatever you may call it and a short video of the tutorial-level. You can watch the video and download the demo, with or without RTP here.

The demo is extremely short, and expect just a few minutes of play, this demo is only for response and for advertisement. It includes the tutorial-level as seen in the video and the first level. You'll also get a glimse of the Super Mario World-style world map as well, which will grow with content as development continues. Oh, and The Explorers and The Residence of Old Riddles are on pause, but not out. The Explorers, however is delayed to 2010 since it's a massive project and I need some more experience before continuing on that one. The Residence of Old Riddles is still scheduled for this fall.
