Breath of Fire II: Awakening Update VII


Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well.

I have been working non-stop on version 5.0 and have some unfortunate news. As some of you know, I'm making this project on my 10+ year old laptop that is literally falling apart and is held together by duct tape and prayers. Yesterday the laptop has finally died. The game, assets, documents, gimp/photoshop files, etc. are all safe. I back up everything daily at two different locations and do a monthly backup on a third location so no data or time was lost.

I will be unable to work on the game until I get a replacement computer; I am unsure on how long it will take me to get a replacement one. I'm currently putting my daughter through university and my son is having a baby very soon. I have been needing a new computer for some time but it was one of those thing where I had to prioritize the needs of my family over a want of a new computer.

I always strive to be transparent on this project (since day on), and I just wanted to let everyone know I have to pause work on the project until I can get a replacement. The project is not canceled (I have put too much work into it), but I will have to temporarily pause it.

I appreciate your understanding!

Family first!

I hope you get a new PC asap not just because of the project but due to the fact that for better or worse, those damn things became literal extension of our being.

Oh shoot man, wish you had live in Europe(Hungary), I just happen to have a bit old but properly working gaming PC what I'm not using anymore.... Only the HDD/SSD is missing because I put thoose into my new Rig..

I just recently found out your work, and I have to say I'm impressed, all of the BOF games, BOF 2 is my personal favourite as well, and I became a gamer 30 years ago...

I appreciate your kind words! I really hope with 5.0 I can live up to the original game and bring back that nostalgia for everyone.

If you can take one advice from me(maybe somebody else mentioned or not, I don't know), but can you add the option to switch between the original and the officially released translated names? I know maybe I commit a blasphemy now, but compared "Bosch" I still prefer "Bow" or "Tapeta" to "Jean" and etc..

I have gotten a lot of requests to rename the characters. It is a little more work on my part, but I will look into seeing if I can get the naming system implemented for everyone.

Nice!
