I hope you enjoy.

Sweet! I want a crack at a copy as soon as it's done.

Rats, I haven't even started mine! Maybe your progress log will motivate me to actually start mine

Well if it modivates other people besides myself thats all the better.

I managed to start my second field before Softball practice. It's of the Junon area. I'm not really that far, but it's looking good.

I also finished the puzzle and added some decorations to the first dungeon. I put in some small non story events and chests.

I have also thought about where the game needs to go so I have a basic idea of what I'm doing. I have thought up like 5 or so pretty unique(or at least I think so) puzzles. More to come by the end of the weekend.

Update,

I am nearly finished with a new town. It's pretty much done except for adding the Infected and all the hidden items that come with Resident Evil games. The town holds 3 different puzzles that correspond to each other. The main one uses the storyteller.

I watched ever cutscene in Crisis Core on youtube. That really helped with thinking up the main story. The dialogue has been pretty easy so far because I know most of the characters personalities already. That makes things easier. I'd say the hardest part is making the mood scary like Resident evil is. RPGM 3's lack of music makes it hard, but I'd say it's coming along.

The game is pretty linear like RE 4, but because of that things happen back to back. There really isn't much downtime in the game. At least for how far I am. Another challange I'm having is making the world feel like Final Fantasy 7. Because it takes place in that world and it being linear I've had to adapt. Though, it's no where near exact I think you'll be able to reconize some of the areas.

Right now I'm at 17% flat. Also it's kind of hard having a progress log that I need to watch what I put in. I don't want to spoil too much

This is gonna knock my entry out of the park.

The last post is actually from a few days ago. I posted it on the pav, but forgot to post it here. This is the newest progress.

Update

Well I have got some decent work done over the last two days.

2 new characters
2 new classes
5 new items
1 new monster
5 small storytellers
A new town

I made the biggest story event yet. It gives more insight on the main plot. It takes 2 full modes. Most of which is dialogue and a boss battle.

I added a crap load of decrotives, chests and small events. I also got rid of the default level up system. It is something more that fits in with RE and gives more modivation for fighting. Also everything is balanced up to this point. I'm at 21.2%

Update

Well, it's been about a week since the last update. I have got a lot done in that time. I made 2 new towns. 1 of which is completely done. The other is more then half way completed. This includes a crap load of decoratives. I also made a new dungeon. It's not very big, but it holds a pretty cool puzzle. I have made 6 new puzzles in total. That has taken most of my time, and a good chunk of memory. 3 new monsters have been added. Between the 2 towns and dungeon I added around 20 small interactive events and 10 treasure chests. With the interactive events I have been trying to flesh out the characters and their personalities. I'd say it's going okay so far. Every thing is balanced up to where I am.

Having a deadline has made me work on this a lot more then Holy-Chaos. I haven't been rushing either. I've just been trying to make sure everything is of quality work. Because of the genre I'm ripping off, I'm going to keep things on the shorter side. I hope to finish up this town in the next couple days.

I'm at 31.2%

Update:

This weekend has been pretty productive. I completely decked out a castle. It has 3 different puzzles. I made 3 rather large story events. The bulk of the time I spent with RPGM3 this weekend was working on a new map. I spent at least 10 hours working on it. It's completely finished. I made a dungeon that holds a few puzzles.

I also planned out the next few towns. I'm at 41.6%

Good to see that people are taking a contest seriously. I was beginning to worry. Good luck on your entry!

Thanks Ix. I just hope a lot of people are taking this one seriously. I see contests as the best way of getting the best work out of people. Hopefully leading to great ideas and innovative things with the makers.

I would say this is the most fun I've had with any game too. I haven't lost modivation once. It's a good (Long) break away from Holy-Chaos, but I think that's what I need since I'm down to playtesting and fine tweaking on that. When I go back to it I will have a refreshed view.

Update

Well I've got a lot of stuff done. Not all of it is necessarily new, but time consuming. I made a few new monsters and changed around almost all of the battles. I made a new map, as well as revised an old one. The new one took well over ten hours to make. I'd say that's what most of my game time went to this week. I'd say it's probable the best map I have made. The changes to the older map really went well too.

I made a new dungeon and a town to go on the map. I made multiple puzzles.

Update

The game is completely layed out. All of the maps, towns, dungeons, etc... I have finished the main story events as well. About 2/3 of the game is completely balanced. Now, I'm going back and adding chests and interactive events. I also am going to go through the dialogue and tweek a lot of it. It was kind of rushed because my main focus with this game is the features. That and having a deadline. It looks like I'll be done with it a few months in advanced.

I'm at roughly 83% I still want to try a feature I thought of the other day. I think it would add a lot to it, and it looks like I'll have the space. It's really hard to update without giving anything away.

I hope other people are having fun with this contest too

Update

Progress is still very good. I did a few playtest now and made sure all bugs are fixed. The biggest thing I've done though is a puzzle. I've been working on it for the past 10+ hours. (Not in 1 sitting of course) It's by far the most complex thing I've ever created with 3. It seemed every time I found a way to make it work something would mess it up. I nearly gave up on it at the end, but I found out why it was glitching and was able to fix it. I didn't reset 3 variables at the right time. The problem is that the puzzle is made up of exactly 30 different events. If one thing happened wrong the whole thing is screwed. Having to back track through all of that is not fun. Overall I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I'll make the deadline with plenty of time to spare.

I'm at 92.7%

The contest is over and this is available for download. Chack it out and tell me what you think. Any feedback would be awesome.

Dammit, if I still had my PS3 MC adapter I would play.

Unleeeeeesss it was also in PS3 format

I can convert it for you.

I wanna say congratulations on completing your game! Not too many people in the scene can do that nowadays.

You're special.

Thanks. One more to go.

I'm at a tough spot.

[spoiler]I'm at the spot where you first fight the Infected Ogre, I'm out of ammo and only have 1 herb. Bash isn't strong enough because the Ogre uses Armored Core.[/spoiler]
