While this DOES have to do with my modding, it has little to do with the mechanics of modding.
I'm waist deep into my mod. I have a 80% completed patcher, 25% complete on Tactext. I'm working on sprite changes, I'm done on the ASM front, I hope.
I'm looking to incorporate a few mechanics from Jot5/XIfanie, as far as the Synth shop and propositions.
My script changes are brainstormed, my additional characters/class abilities are taking up the remaining 20% of patcher. I am hoping to be done with balancing changes shortly.
The question is. When should I release my Beta? When everything is balanced, sprites are changed? I won't release it til the Text edits are done, that's for certain. DO I wait for Chapter 1 and 2 to have everything I want implemented in them? (Condensing the Vanilla events and inserting roughly a dozen and a half full events.) I haven't even begun eventing. (I am, however, outlined, and working on scripting.) If I just release the combat changes, do I do it with or without the special characters?
I'm about to update my progress page, tomorrow, or Friday, just a lot of stuff going on, both in and out of the patch.
Anyway feel free to comment or ignore. -Gate.
