Here’s a WIP screenshot of Catharsis’ VX Ace revision, featuring custom character portraits and shiny stat bars.

Well, the “TS” bar isn’t as shiny as I’d like it to be, but I still need to find the time to choose the right shades of yellow for that one!

All current locations are shown. It’s pretty much finished until I inevitably redo it in the next few months! bluh. For some reason the world map template I was using is really laggy and crash-prone on my computer. D:

A WIP progression of a custom character portrait.

I’ve been practicing some more with Sai and this happened! After changing Catharsis to a “widescreen” resolution (640x416 px), all the current character portraits get cut off at the waist from the extra screen space.

Instead of trying to fill in the empty space (and fucking up horribly, haha), I think I’ll just redraw all the important characters so that they match my original ideas, and then use the old portraits as references for their different emotions.

This is a shot of another dungeon, but with a cute little meter thing!

I put together a new system regarding the touch encounters in Catharsis. Instead of having monsters respawn every time you leave a map, they respawn every 10 times or so.

If you’d like to read more about this, I went into more detail on its gamepage: http://rpgmaker.net/games/3027/blog/8243/

Some WIP screenshots of an industrialized underground town called the “Undercity”. It’s supposed to look like a place where a thieves’ guild would hang out…

Let’s Try Catharsis (part 1) by Clareain_Christopher on RMN

“Let’s Try” videos are like let’s plays, but they’re mostly meant to give feedback to the developer.

So I stopped by RMN today and wow, my game’s on the front page! (upper right)

Cool~
