Hello everyone it's been a while since the last devlog update. Tales of Asraco is pretty much done and I am now focussing on testing the game as well as adding a few minor things, to give you even more content on release. I am also using the spare time till November to rework some systems in order to advance the state of Tales of Asraco even further. This devlog covers a long span of time from June to August. This is probably the longest devlog I will ever post. As stated before the game is mostly done. There's only a couple of sounds and a few graphics missing. I just started resizing the game for different screen resolutions. It’s a pain but it has to be done. This devlog also ends a 3 week vacation from August 12 to August 31 that I entirely dedicated to Tales of Asraco. Despite my cat undergoing surgery during that time which initially pushed me back a bit I was able to complete a ton of work. I am still aiming for the November release but I am not giving out a specific date yet. Tales of Asraco has really become what I wanted it to be and I am so proud of it. I worked on this game all by myself and it has been hard but also super fun so far. Alright enough chit chat. Have a great day everyone.
