I got a good amount done on BB1. I finished two more villages: Shantyton, and the Thieves Hideout. I added in 6 more NPCs in Shantyton and a few quests. You can also gain a temporary 2nd teammate here as well. Here's an image:
I also am starting to add in the dungeons/caves. In the original game they were all connected together as an underworld map, and you progressed by unlocking higher skills and getting items (similar to Zelda:Link to the Past for SNES) but since I am trying to keep this FLASH game under 10MB, that might change. I might have to split up the game into more chapters. One thing I just noticed is the dungeon's Top-Down view doesn't match the ret of the game's 3/4 view. I'll have to try and find a way to fix that...Here's a dungeon pic as well:
On a side-note, I stoppped working on the Blondie BJ because those type of games really don't work well when using just pixel art. I turned it into a 45 second video instead and included a link here:

As usual I had some half-baked idea for a game and then spent most of the month working on it. In this case it might not be too bad since it's about 90% finished. All the art is done. I'm just adding in the effects and maybe a story. So, It should be uploaded before the end of the week (except... it wasn't. I added in more options and a storyline. End of the month is more likely). The concept is nothing new, just a combination of a dress-up game and a sex game. Mostly I was trying to learn how to use layers, randomized image creation, and image rotation/movement in Flixel. Here's a preview:

I have been eagerly awaiting this update as i have and will continue to with all these updates (in fact i was worried i wouldn't be able to see it being as my new computer stopped working and i had to find and fix this one). I'm glad that you seem to be more enthusiastic in this update then you did in the last one. I'm also happy to hear how your progression has been going and I am still very excited for the release of this game. Keep up the good work and do it right, the way it should be done.

Thanks for your continued interest and support. I will ensure BB1 is the best I can make it. I always lose motivation in the dead of winter. The lack of sunlight and bitter cold sap my energy to some degree. Luckily the robins have returned with the spring and so has my enthusiasm! :)
