Late Weekly Post for June 17

Hi Pangaeans!

Sorry for the late post, but there's a good reason for it. Before I get there, let's get started on the updates!

So the good news is version 0.3 is fine. Just a few clerical fixes I needed to do to fix some crashes, but nothing major. I'm gonna be back to working on some 0.4 stuff, but I also need to fix up on some plugins to make it work. I was a bit spread out last time, so I'm gonna do it step by step this time. My first step is a big hurdle. Simple on the surface, but complex in creation: I'm going to work on making environment-related abilities. Zero's special ability is that his powers are environment based. Meaning, he can cast earth spells in rocky places, water spells near large bodies of water, fire spells in hot places, etc. Why? A lot of the areas have element-based monsters and sooner or later, Zero will have access to most elements. It's unfair for him to have fire powers in a snowy area or electrical powers in a watery area, so that's how I'm limiting it. The story will go into why that is and why it doesn't apply to anyone else.

So why am I writing 2-3 days late? Mainly because an old friend came over and I've been entertaining them this weekend. It's eaten up a lot of my time as well as my day job and other responsibilities. Another part is because my sister is moving to Chicago and I've been prepping for the trip to help her move. We're going by car since she needs hers to get around town. It's taken me from Saturday morning until just now to write all this, that's how busy I've been. While I'm away, I plan to work on Pangaea as much as I can. I don't think I'll get too much done because of the travel from California to Illinois, but I intend to try. I'm also looking into a moving on in careers and location. California is expensive and as much as I'd like to stay here, I'm seriously considering moving. My job field is underpaid and my state is overpriced. I'm sticking it out for another few years since I'm still employed, but I think it may be time to read the writing on the wall...

I know the wait has not been fair to most people here and I apologize for it. I've had more hiccups and distractions than I expected when I started working on version 0.4. Remember, I'm just one guy doing everything. I'm thankful to RPG Maker MV and the artists who create the graphics, plugins, and music. They're all getting credit when this is over. However, they're working on their own stuff, not my game, so I'm I'm on my own here. Other projects have been put to the side as well until this is all straightened out

Thank you for everyone being so patient. I'm looking into finding something to add to my site for people to enjoy while the updated demos come out, though I don't have any leads yet.
