Hiatus Soon Ending

Penumbra Crystallis' hiatus will soon be ending as my passion/side project, Triple Triad: Tournament of the Elements, is about to be completed and released in the next few days.

While this blog is primarily for Penumbra Crystallis (with the odd mention of Final Fantasy here and there), I feel like sharing this here as well for the exposure.

With just a few days left until this bad boy is completed (in less than a month!), I decided to do one of those fancy "release trailers" that are all the craze these days. While my trailer making abilities aren't fantastic, this is better than nothing!

Triple Triad: Tournament of the Elements will be released in the evening of September 6th unless something unforeseen happens with me offline. The agenda of things left to finish is as follows:

• Final card match against the host of the tournaments, Dionysos the God of Revelry
• Addition of a few additional side quests
• Addition of about 25-35 more cards (they are in the database, just not yet accessible to players)
• Completion of the Market Exchange map (the only map not yet in the game)
• Completion of the Recycling Depot, just need to event about 20 or recyclers
• Cleaning up of various little aspects of the game and additional polish

Honestly, the fact that I started this on August 9th and am going to finish it in less than a month is pretty wild. I thought that it was just going to be a two week project at first, but the scope of the game grew after a few days and I realized I'd need a little bit more time to work on it.

Anyway, looking forward to finishing this and releasing it into the wild in a few days! See you then!

Once this monster is out on Monday, expect updates to start coming in for Penumbra Crystallis again starting with blurbs on how the newest party member, Kassandra, will play. Her entire background and role in the game had been completely altered just prior to the game being put on hiatus, so I'll be excited to share some of those details with you guy's soon as well. Here's a hint though... she's related to someone we all know very well!
