Just finished recording the voice-overs with the voice actor and actress. Spent a whole day doing so but the experience was awesome! There are so many things in recording voice-overs that are important but I could write an essay about that! I'm now editing them and adding them to the game as I speak! Watch out for another new sneak snippet coming soon!
Some of the voice over editing are done! Check out a new sneak preview of Small Chronicles! Now with voice overs! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Added a new animation for surviving a stage! Satisfaction from clearing a stage +1 ! I have also added Japanese voice-overs, tons of new equipment, new status curing potions and bonus objectives to the game! 1 step closer to beta testing! ^^
So you know... that moment when you want to open a treasure chest and you realized that your inventory is full? Don't you hate it when you have to go back to your inventory and clear stuff for space and try to open the treasure chest again? Well now you don't. Introducing swapping items on-the-fly! Read more about it here @ http://whitesponge.com/blog/a-rather-detailed-update/ More updates coming soon!
Been a few days since I have last posted updates for Small Chronicles. During these few days I have added books to the game. Books are essentially items that you can read to find out more about the lore, history and world of Small Chronicles. Some other books are from the perspective of NPCs of the game while others are part of collections which you can complete (e.g Book Name - I) If you read through most of them you will realize that it all links to the main story of Small Chronicles You can get them from treasure chests! Next up - Adding universal support to Small Chronicles ^-^
Alright I'm in the process of ensuring that the game looks good on the iPad and the iPhone/iPod Touch. Here's a preview image of how Small Chronicles looks like on an iPad The background might look slightly different from when it's on an iPhone/iPod Touch because I have redrawn it specially for the iPad More updates coming soon!
Alright I'm in the processing of adding some new awesome items to the in-game store And as you can see, these items have some pretty awesome bonuses but they also cost rubies to get. So to ensure that everyone can get their hands on some of these awesome goodies, I have increased the rate at which rubies can be gotten. You can now also get rubies from treasure chests!
I'm looking at some of the earlier posts, and I am astounded at the progress this game has made. I thoroughly hope to play the final product!
Hey MrAlbum! I'm glad that you like the progress of the game so far! You will definitely get to play the game when it's released so don't worry! P.S ~ give me a nudge if you're interested to test the game before it goes into open beta ^^
I'm the process of adding sync-ing capability to Small Chronicles. And frankly after a few days of attempting to add iCloud support, I find it really unreliable to be able to be shipped with Small Chronicles. So I'm looking at DropBox at the moment instead. Just a show of hands though ~ how many of you will be willing to create a new account with DropBox (if you don't already have 1)? If doing so gives you the ability to save your game progress across all your devices?
In the midst of adding iCloud support to Small Chronicles and so far it is working great most of the time! (except for when iOS decides not to detect the new files in iCloud) Btw here's how your inventory will be in Small Chronicles on your iPad!
Finally got iCloud synchronization to work with Small Chronicles. Here's a quick camera shot of my iPad completing the synchronization ~ Basically if you have been playing it offline without ever turning on the synchronizing and you do so suddenly, the game synchronizes all the local data onto iCloud. In doing so, any new installs of Small Chronicles on other devices can still be updated to the latest data by tapping on the synchronization button (leftmost green button in image above) And if you have been playing Small Chronicles on multiple devices, any latest change made on 1 device that isn't detected in any other devices will be updated on those devices
Added cloud saving (across iOS devices) and several new sound effects for characters. Now when you select a character or have him/her do something, the character will speak in response. I added them as I believe it will add polish to the game thus making a better gameplay experience. Check out this video for a quick demo of the characters' sound effects (towards the end) Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Btw, here's some concept art of some of the monsters in the Wood Groves And iOS 7 is coming out soon. Going to add support for it! Cheers! ^^
Just added support for the upcoming iOS 7! I must say that most of it only involves ensuring that the tables in the game look and feel the same way as in iOS 6 and below ~ If I just compiled and start the game without making any changes, this is what a table in Small Chronicles would look like in iOS 7: And that is because the default background color for iOS 7 tables is white So after making it transparent again, this is what it becomes: Overall adding support for iOS7 was pretty smooth. There wasn't any ground-breaking changes that affected Small Chronicles P.S ~ ignore the 999999 coins and rubies (it's only for testing )
