You're going to be spoiled!

Posted by amaranth on 24-Jan-2010 (3049 reads)

The next Aveyond chapter is huge!!!

Last year, when I decided to split Aveyond into chapters, I was a bit nervous, but excited. In the beginning, Aveyond 3 was going to be one game that ended with Mel beating the vampire Gyendal. Today, the story is much longer and the world of Aveyond much larger.

When we embarked upon the development of Aveyond: The Lost Orb (codename AV3-3), I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't really know how long it would take to create a new chapter, nor the length of the chapter.

Today, I finished the alpha for AV3-3. It's a HUGE game!!! It's potentially as lengthy as a traditional Aveyond game, and amazingly, it only took us six months to create.

Get ready Amaranthians, you're in for a treat on February 15!

Amaranthian Joined: 2008/2/2 From: Gold: 60	Re: You're going to be spoiled! As long as a traditional Aveyond game? That would be so awesome. I still remember, before I bought the first Aveyond, that the demo was 10 hours. And I still (obviously) had to buy it to complete the game. It was so satisfying. I'm just waiting for another one of those.
