Yes the only difference is some slightly different colors (but is really barely noticeable), and less smooth around the black lines, but that's it. Considering the amount of space/bandwidth saved, is worth it I think

I didn't notice any difference between the images.
SylrissaJun 30, 2012
putting them side by side like that, I can see the differences clearly, however the point is if the differences are enough to justify the increased space/bandwidth they would require, to which I'd say probably not.

Today got the last CG image, Heileen/Juliet so I can do an updated sneak peek of the female romances:
from top-left: Juliet, Ebele (really hot), Marie and Lora
josipa24Jul 13, 2012
Oh God, this sneak peek looks so awesome, I can't wait to play the game! Any news when it might be out, Jack? And the Loren expansion, too?
I know you have to be careful with your estimates,but I'm just looking for a rough date. I already set the money aside for both so I'm 'locked an loaded

For Loren depends on the rain dance, if is successful or not! jokes apart I just got an email from Aleema the writer and she has 103° F where she lives... impossible to work in such conditions However there is really not much left, so if she can resume writing even by end of month or mid-August (at least for the beta phase).
For Heileen I have all the story and the sprites, I'm missing a few backgrounds which I think could take 1-2 months to make, but also I need to code all the game, adding sprites and so on. The problem is that I wanted to use the new VN system using a new engine (so the game would run also on iOS and web) and it's still not done yet. I might do a renpy version first and do the port later, much depends on the other projects. A rough date would be this fall, maybe in october when I released the first Heileen

I love the new pics and for a first may play the girl's version first Ebele <3

Oh, wow, poor Aleema. And I definitely know how she must feel, it's scalding 'round these parts, too. Well, her writing is definitely worth waiting for, so I'll just sit tight and wait for the rain dance to work :D.
And even though I hoped Heileen release might be closer,I suppose it's just as well that it isn't. Unlike MarSel, I have no ida who to romance first. The girls are all just too awesome
jack1974Jul 15, 2012
Well for Heileen and other games, everything got delayed for two reasons... Loren taking 99% of my time from December to May, and also the idea of trying this new system instead of using Ren'Py (not sure yet if was a good move or not, time will tell).
SylrissaJul 15, 2012
Poor Aleema that heat does sound unbearable, would gladly give some of this winter chill away if I could, being down in Australia.
And those sneakpeaks are great, I have no idea who to romance first either, *shakes small fist* Why do your games have to be so enjoyable, you're killing me with the wait for all these games I want to buy!, give a girl a break.

Looks great. Keeping track of game development is a little like being a masochist. You're constantly like "Oh, that looks so cool, but I can't play it yet. Damn!" Really looking forward to it. I love all your other games I've played so far.
jack1974Jul 21, 2012
I know, sometimes I wonder if I should make an update because is a bit weird - at same time people are happy to see progresses but also grumpy because isn't ready yet
the status screen of Heileen 3. It's quite cool, feels almost like a RPG
Pace675Aug 31, 2012
One question, well maybe a few....I also have both Heileens, with that stated the one thing that really peeved me is that what you did in the first of the series did not carry over to the next.
Like when in H2 it referenceses John was your first kiss when in actuality one my playthrough it was Maria....lol well on every playthrough, he's way too much of a player :p
It might be a nice thing to have some of the major decisions from the past to carry over in the sequal(s) (lol hoping for even more after H3 XD) I know and understand that puts a ton of extra work and burden upon a writer, but the payoff can be spectacularliar.
Guess it was only that one question...willdecisionscsions matter.
jack1974Aug 31, 2012
Yes well honestly is because I wasn't sure I would have made a sequel after the first game, so I just used the so called "canon ending" or in this case assumed your first kiss was with John

Please tell me the voice actors will be back for part 3!? I am in-love with the voice of Morgan!!!!! MY second favorite would be the voice of John!! That and Black had an awesome voice also, but he resembled Morgan.
jack1974Sep 14, 2012
Ah no sorry, the voice won't be available in this game - voicing it would mean delaying the release by 2-3 months minimum, and also the third episode is really bigger than the others, about 120k words total (more than twice the amount of Heileen 2)
thezooqueenSep 14, 2012
Ok completely heartbroken but I will survive
jack1974Sep 24, 2012
Today finished coding Morgan's romance. "Only" 3 left to go! I think though this one will be the most favorite by everyone, also because the story and the final image rules! Is somewhat similar to Lisa - Damien of Planet Stronghold and that was very popular
thezooqueenSep 24, 2012
I have not played Planet Stronghold yet LoL But very excited for you I cant wait for Heileen3 I Loooooooooooove Morgan
