Finally! An early release!

I'm glad to tell everyone that the new Liberty - Heart of the Kingdom has been released!

The links have been renewed to its updated version, which means the old HotK is no longer available. For those who would like to see the difference between the old and new, please send a message about it and I'll see to uploading the old one (I always keep the old one because I need it as reference to work on the new one).

For a detailed list of changes, see the HF thread.

Thank you for the wait!

Also, here are some screenshots from the old game, as well as the busts of female characters. Only female characters have busts, since this is an adult game. No male busts are available, sorry.

Found a few good things that'll help HotK

I was browsing through the VX Ace scripts and found a few more scripts that improved the overall gameplay of Liberty. I've implemented them and it came out better than I imagined.

Unfortunately, I can't post any screenshots because the shop I usually work at doesn't allow access to the hard drive, plus most of its utilities such as Paint, Word, Notepad and such are inaccessible. I am dying to get a new laptop right now.

My friend invited me to go window-shopping while we talk about some concepts that might be put into Liberty. Then we went to an appliance store and presented me an Acer laptop with some pretty good specs, and it isn't quite pricey as well. I've computed its total price in US dollars and made it to exactly $600. I currently have $18 on my Paypal thanks to someone who liked the game. Now I'm somewhat worried about the $582 and how I can withdraw that amount, but for now that doesn't matter. I can finish the game (though it might take about more than 2 years if I don't get my own unit).

So far, the Prologue is just about done, and I'm talking to the management to at least give me full access to Paint and Notepad whenever I'm renting.

Await the release of the new Liberty - Heart of the Kingdom, for there lies a new beginning.

Merry Christmas to all!

It's December 25 here, so it's reasonable to greet everyone a merry Christmas. We've had a lot of good things that happened, so let's share the good things to everyone.

I'm currently at my aunt's house, so HotK is a little held up. But this also part of my scheduled accomplishment of the new game. I'll be back to work at January 5, 2015. Once I get back I'll push my free time to work on Prologue and, if possible, Chapter 1. There might be a few changes to the flow of the story, so please try not to complain about it. I'm studying, researching about some things and working on HotK at the same time, so it's not too bad to ask not push me beyond my limits (though I've tried that a few times on different ocassions). I've also had my fair share of bad luck, so...yeah.

Anyway, again merry Christmas, and expect the new HotK to come out any time on the third week of January.

Getting the Kingdom back on track! December updates!

It's good to see that a lot of people are interested in seeing HotK up to the finish, so I've thought of working on a rather slow approach by renting a computer at an internet cafe as much as time would allow.

It's not that busy with school, actually, so I'm working hard on an all new Liberty - Heart of the Kingdom. It will have new modifications to how it used to be in its old version.

* Get tutorials faster before going into an actual fight
* Invest on your Heroes' training with Credits
* Interact with everyone when you have time
* Faster leveling for Heroes on both Active and Standby
* RTS-focused with RPG elements, only now there are more RTS than standard RPGs
* Engage on quests even while under RTS Mode
* All-new improvements to shops and interacting with the World
* Neutral characters now have a story to tell (Era, Amenisa, Fey and two others)
* Access past events with the all-new Memory system (personally developed by me)

These are only the few (is that even few to count?) changes to be expected on the new release and rework. There will also be changes to this blog as well as the HF thread. It might take a little while to make these all happen, but it is possible. Expect a release by third week of January 2015 if my schedule holds up as it is.

Continue your support, commander! It will lead us to victory soon!

The Kingdom was caught on fire!

During the past few weeks, I haven't been active at Hongfire for some time. That's because our home was among the casualties of fire that broke out. Only a few of our appliances were saved, but I forgot the most important thing for every developer: the laptop and external hard drive. Now all of my back-ups are in ashes!

I was only able to recover from what happened recently, and it really is sad that, despite the number of people waiting and supporting Liberty - Heart of the Kingdom, it all disappeared with just one fire incident. Now I'm trying to get back on my feet, but I doubt I could still work on HotK without a personal computer. I also have to recover my scripts listings and my old project from either Mediafire or MEGA, so I'll leave the game download open for a while.

This only means that HotK will have to go on a bit of vacation. For those who would like to help, I still appreciate all that I could get, specially if anyone can return an unencrypted version of HotK. Then all I have to worry about is on what computer I should work at. I mean, I'm not that rich to rent a computer on a per-hour basis just to work on HotK.

Anyway, I'll update this site once I get things back up and running again. Thanks for supporting and please continue to support Liberty - Heart of the Kingdom!

An early release for Chapter 4

Hi again! It's almost Christmas season, and for almost four months Liberty has been going steady despite the unexpected events happening in my personal life. Still, I would like everyone to know that Chapter 4 will be released soon. This chapter, however, doesn't involve too much battles, but rather focuses of the plot of the story.

Secrets begin to unfold as their newest member arrives, and Justin's companions are starting to doubt his true identity. As The One Who Holds Destiny, how will he cope with hiding his past while protecting the people who chose to follow him? Will it end up in a coup? Or will he find refuge among their trust?

Also, I would like to thank everyone for your continued support. And for that, I have a surprise for people who will download the game from December 23, 2014 to January 3, 2015. It's under prototype, but I'd like to show my thanks to you all.

Around December, I'll be getting a bit of vacation time, which means no work for the moment. But around the start of next year, I'll get back into development. I'm also thinking of remodeling this blog with a live chat. Though I may not be online all the time, at least the people who need help with the game can get help from others currently reading.

Anyway, that's all for now. Expect the release of Chapter 4 around the first week of December, along with special gifts for old and new players alike.

Good luck and advanced greetings to all!

Getting things ready for next chapter's release in December

Hello again. I hope you're still getting things ready for next chapter, and I am, too. Get your weapons ready and plan ahead, war is about to erupt between Hotus and the three kingdoms. How will you handle it?

There are a few things I have to do at school, but I'll still put this game's development as top priority.

I got a post asking what the box at Tesa Forestry is for. Well, it's for one of the neutral characters, and you need that character to open the box, as well as other boxes scattered all over the place. There are currently three by the release of Chapter 3, and there's a new box to be released by the next chapter.

Warn you, if you want to open the box, get the neutral character first, which, in a probability theory, would require at least a good set of characters, as the enemies guarding have about 3000 HP, 300 Atk and 300 Def. They're also resistant to most spells, so take caution.

Anyway, good luck out there, commanders!
