By time I meant what it'll be like in days years couse you mentioned birthdays and will we have birthdays as well? And about the questions I'm sorry I thougth you would post a post about my posts having too many questions but it would be more like YOU KNOW TOO MUCH http://cmi.memecdn.com/119/1839119.gif

My a hole week since the last post and three since the last update. Normally this would raise a red flag with me for a thread that had a new post almost every day.

But from the sound of it they are truly buckling down and working on the game and even if they are not October, November and December can be hell for some people. So keep up the good work and I do hope everything is well with you and yours.

Yeah never fear we are all still working, but you are right about the holidays. I do work for a lot of toy companies and this the run up to the big shopping season in the states so I'm working 14 hour days and never sleeping, but Full Moon Love is on my mind every day and it's very rare if a day goes by when I haven't worked on it. I'll try to get at least some screen shots up tonight as Katsu is still working on the player apartment.

A week would raise a red flag? Seriously, give all the hobby game designers here a break We are working our jobs and do stuff that has nothing to do with the game as well, that's why I said get excited when the new thread is up but don't spend too much time torturing the poor refresh button of yours

@ MarioTX: This is indeed a good question. The characters do have birthdays though I'm at least not sure how we will implement them in the game. There will be special encounters, though. Basically every encounter you have is a special occurence Wether we will make use of anniversaries/birthdays will be determined by the scale the game will have, eventually.

Hey! I only check once a day! That's totally not too much!

[goat]

Sorry everyone, my life is a little crazy right now so I haven't been able to get anything together for a while, but I will try really soon.

[Zeus Kabob]

No problem Goat. This thread has some really exciting potential, so I'm happy for you to take your time and not to rush it.

[Nice and Blue]

As Zeus just said, it has potential, and rushing anything could just make it turn into a way you didn't want it to. Plus you're doing it because you want to, so, I say you don't need to worry about it.

[goat]

Thanks for the support, I will post again soon and I think the rest of the team is still rolling but I've been completely out of the loop lately. Honestly though it's good to have a little break

[Zeus Kabob]

I know that feeling. I'm happy to be taking a break for Thanksgiving starting at the end of this week myself.

[littleredrabbit]

No need for you or anyone on the team to work yourself to the bone goat you already have your hooks in use we are not going anywhere so if you or anyone on the team needs time to yourself please do so. I would like it more if you took some time off and come by reinvigorated that you burning out and giving up. I do apologize about my early commit I was meant to be in good humor and came out more in bad taste.

And to get bake into the asking of questions I was wondering about age will it have any changes to game play or story. I mostly ask because of the club if you are under 21 you can not order drinks and lose a ice barker tho I suppose you can always lie and get a fake ID. That could be a cool little thing you could do with spike. (not that I would ever condone anyone underage drinking or get false identification)

[Red.Sheer]

It is very possible that the development process has stalled at the moment, though like I said earlier: It happens and probably will happen again, so there's no need to worry. When the game is in a playable state you will get to play it right away *gg*

@littleredrabbit: That is actually... an interesting idea. Being from Europe, it never occured to me that there might be a problem with drinking below 21. That said, being from Europe, maybe the Island doesn't use US laws and it is no problem at all to get drunk of your ass as soon as you hit 18 Though we'll definitely give the idea a thought.

[littleredrabbit]

A question and a idea this time.

how forgiving are you going to be with travel time? Like is you finally reach a romantic moment with someone and they ask you to meet them someplace at 8:00 and it is now 7:30 will we be giving a jump to even button or are we going to have to manage the clock.

I do recall that you were asking for some events i was thinking about a volleyball tournament, a battle of the bands at the club, and a arcade tournament.

[Mariotx]

I have one question will the game have easter eggs, crazy, nonsensical, and possibly hilarious things in the game or will it be completly serious?

[goat]

Hey guys, sorry for the long delay, life is getting crazy while I'm looking for a new job, hopefully I will have an answer after this week but between several interviews and art tests on top of my 50 hour a week day job I literally have been drawing non stop morning to night everyday. FML is still on my mind and I have a lot of plans I can't wait to work on but for now I'm still out of action. Most of the rest if the team seems pretty busy too. Sorry for the delays.

As to your questions, time is kept hourly though NPCs will not ask fir strict punctuality. Every day is made up of sunrise, day, sunset and night. Sunset/sunrise is 4 hours each, day/night is 8 hours. NPCs will either ask you to meet them on at night or at day, day includes sunrise, night includes sunset. Occasionally they will ask to meet you at sunset/sunrise and this is the tightest time frame.

Thanks for the suggestions too, I like the idea of a battle of the bands (though that would be a DJ Shaggy Bear/Marli quest line event so it would most likely be a dance off) the arcade will have a scripted completion though it's a friendly one between you and Cindy.

As for tone, the romance is generally treated with seriousness and generally earnest, but we all love humor so there's lots of puns and jokes and a general light hearted approach to the whole project. As for easter eggs... What would be the fun in spoiling that! Same goes for hidden characters and locations... Oh I've said too much....


EDIT--------
ok I can't resist posting SOMETHING, I was going to do a dress up Flash but i just don't have time....so just some still shots of Marli in a few different outfits

[Mariotx]

Why does she look like Miley in the 3rd pic

[goat]

This from the one who wanted Easter eggs and humor

[littleredrabbit]

firstly DAT ASS

I love that all her outfits are so very eighties which leads me to believe that our pop poodle may be older then she looks.

[Decypifer]

Hmm.. Weird, it just stays at "Full Moon Love A Heart Journey" to me. D: I tried on Google Chrome and FireFox. Siigh, I'm sad now. T-T

[Mariotx]

But I spotted it immedietly I did think it was funny just why Miley it's not that funny to me but, hey it's just me
