This part focuses on the dialogue for the game.
Desperation Main Game:
Sylvie:
There you are Master Alexander, I have been looking everywhere for you.
Alexander:
For me? Do you need something?
Sylvie:
Lord Raphael has told me to summon you to his room immediately for some reason..
Alexander:
I see.. I will head there now.
Sylvie:
And before you go, you can use the [A] and [D] buttons to moveleft and right respectively
Alexander:
I see, thank you very much for telling me.
(As Alexander reaches Raphael's room)
Adelia:
Ahh, if it isn’t Alexander, I take it you want to see father?
Adelia:
I do not see any reason for you to be here however I am in a gracious
enough mood to let you go in.
Adelia:
I am going to find Sebastian, he mentioned something about being
with him when he claims Agnidynestra as his own.
Alexander:
Agnidynestra???
Adelia:
Oh, of course you would not know about it, how foolish of me to think such
a thing...
Adelia:
It does not matter anyway, once Sebastian claims the sword there will be no use
for a weakling like you.
Adelia:
I have no idea why father even considered you as an heir since it is obvious
that you do not have half of the potential that Sebastian has.
Adelia:
Take this as your first and only warning to stay out of the way.
Adelia:
Anyway this is getting dull, off you go to see daddy dearest.
(After Alexander enters the room)
Alexander:
You summoned me father?
Raphael:
It begins my son.
Alexander:
It begins?
Raphael:
Yes, there is something you need to know. About our family and more importantly your destiny.
Alexander:
Family? Destiny? What is this about?
Raphael:
Soon I will depart this life Alexander.
Alexander:
?!
Raphael:
Listen to me Alexander, You will carry a great burden as a result of what I have done, something that I am truly sorry about.
Raphael:
However you must know this truth.
Raphael:
Sebastian and Adelia are after Agnidynestra, the blade I once wielded...
Raphael:
The swords power is determined by the heart and emotions of its wielder
and as a result great power can be drawn from it at will.
Raphael:
Before her passing, Talisa promised the blade would be passed down
to Sebastian upon my passing.
Raphael:
Or at least that is what she thought..
Raphael:
Unfortunately for her and ultimately for Sebastian, the sword is not
where she thought.
Raphael:
This Alexander, is where you will meet and confront your destiny.
Raphael:
You must become the new custodian and claim the sword as your own!
Raphael:
Do NOT let Sebastian or Adelia anywhere near it!
Raphael:
Talisa has had an influence that has rendered their hearts black,
so such power cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the corrupt.
Raphael:
Sebastian is powerful and he is ruthless, this makes him a dangerous foe
and with Adelia at his side you stand little chance against either of them.
Raphael:
I fear that even with the sword Sebastian would kill you in a matter
of seconds..
Raphael:
This is exactly why you must train well and learn to attune your mind
and body to the sword to prepare for the day that you and Sebastian
fight in a battle of wills.
Raphael:
Now go! Take the sword and leave this place!
Raphael:
Use [J] and [K] to attack and block respectively, cut down
anything that stands in your way!
Alexander:
I understand.. and father, Thank you.
(Just as Alexander is about to leave out of the front door)
‘Master Alexander please stop, do not go outside!’,
Alexander:
You look out of breath, what has happened!
Lord Sebastian is looking for you!
Alexander:
Sebastian?! What does he want?
I have no idea. However he is on his way back here now
and he looks furious!
Alexander:
Where did you last see him?
He was in the courtyard with Lady Adelia, telling her to watch the exits!
Alexander:
So it has begun..
Indeed it has begun!
Turn over the sword to me at once Alexander..
Alexander:
No Sebastian, Father has already entrusted the sword to me.
Alexander:
The new rightful heir to the sword is me!
Sebastian:
You fool.. you dare defy me?
Sebastian:
Fine you traitor..
Sebastian:
SECURITY!!!
Sebastian:
APPREHEND HIM AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT LET HIM ESCAPE!!!
The Security
At once Lord Sebastian!
Sebastian:
There is no escape!
Sebastian:
This time you will die here baby brother!
Sylvie:
Run!!!

Wednesday July 14th Part 1
Winding down now, just aiming to get the FMP finished and completed by any means.
As a result of this the decision has been made to drop all the extra content (2nd trailer, Adelia Mode and Character bios) due to time constraints and internal problems.
However all the bugs seem to be fixed and the game is at a state of "completion".
So with all this in mind here is the 100% finished and decided on Characters, Story and Dialogue.
Characters
The Younger Sister:
Name: Adelia Aeuhert
Height: 5ft 3in
Age: 27
Bloodtype: AB+
Weapon Names: “Aurelio” & “Voletta” (Daggers)
Story:
The second born into the Aeuhert family, Adelia is very smart to for her age and has an IQ around 200 points.
From birth she has spoilt by her older brother Sebastian who would do anything to keep her appeased and as a result of this she has become very demanding of her brother.
In one of her demands Adelia stated she wanted to also be trained in a weapon style like her brother but unlike him she wanted a style that makes her look enchanting and elegant as well as being lethal, to which Sebastian agrees to train her in an art of her choosing.
Deep down beneath the spoilt girl exterior she respects Sebastian because of his loyalty to her and their mother unlike Alexander who in her eyes is nothing more than a “Betrayer” for going along with their father’s way of thinking and denouncing them entirely
After the two left she noticed her brother was talking more in private with their mother, catching on that something wasn’t right she again demanded that her brother take her with him to one of these chats, though reluctant Sebastian accepted that she should know the truth and that nothing should be hidden away from her.
After learning the truth from her mother Adelia spent her days continuing her training and ordering her brother about, however she did have a new found respect and appreciation for her mother and swore to herself she would be like her.
It wasn’t until her mother passed that she really began to change, Adelia struggled to come to terms with the loss and in fact blamed Alexander for their mothers death.
But through her sadness she realized her brother was now the head of the family and would soon become the new wielder of “Agnidynestra”.
Suddenly life wasn’t so bad she began to contemplate how she could now use her brother’s influence as a means to get others to do things for her while also still having leverage on her brother. The concept was something that appealed to Adelia very much just as much as some other things she had been thinking about…
That was until Alexander acquired Agnidynestra from his father and ruined her own hopes and plans.
No sword meant no control and no control meant no sword, this fact caused Adelia to become more agitated with each passing moment and with the sword even further away from her reach Adelia joins her brother in the search for the sword and Alexander.
The Youngest:
Name: Alexander “Alex” Aeuhert
Height: 6ft 2in
Age: 20
Bloodtype: O-
Weapon Name: Agnidynestra (2 Handed Greatsword)
Story
The youngest son of the great warrior Raphael Aeuhert, unlike his siblings Alexander grew up with his father and denounced the noble life of wealth and splendor in favor of training with his father since he didn’t want to ride the coat-tails of his father’s success instead opting to carve his own legacy and path.
This was noted by the other siblings who in turn had nothing really to do with him as a result since they were both closer to their mother.
It wasn’t until a fight between his parents occurred and his father ended up leaving that Alexander was forced to make a life changing decision, either stay with his siblings and mother or leave with his father. The decision was an easy one, Alexander knew that if he stayed he possibly would be pried upon and so he left with his father.
Over the next few years Alexander trained using his father’s style eventually becoming a formidable warrior like his father was.
However Raphael was unwell and with every passing day life ebbed and flowed out of the once mighty warrior.
Sensing that the end was near Raphael called Alexander to tell him the truth about the sword and about the great task he had to undertake.
Alexander knew what needed to be done the question was when?
Unfortunately for Alexander that time came sooner than he anticipated…
Now with the power that his father spoke of in his possession all he needed to do was hold onto it even if it meant fighting his own family, An event that he knew was only a matter of time…
The Eldest:
Name: Sebastian Aeuhert
Height: 6ft 9in
Age: 39
Bloodtype: AB+
Weapon Name: “Saberhagen” (One Handed Broadsword)
Story:
Born into a noble bloodline Sebastian is the first and eldest son and thus he is the rightful heir to the Aeuhert family name. As a young boy Sebastian grew up with the finest of what life had to offer him, the family servants would tend to his every whim and call at his mother’s behest, much to the chagrin of Sebastian’s father the great warrior Raphael Aeuhert.
Raphael was adamant that spoiling the young Sebastian was reversing his teachings of discipline and work which Sebastian was learning through combat and that this in turn would lead to the boy being blinded and unable to accept the world as it truly is, instead forever living in a fantasy world where only wealth and splendor exists.
Over time Sebastian’s feelings for his father changed to feelings of anger and eventually resentment over what his father was doing to his mother who was pregnant with their daughter Adelia, to him and to the family. But silently he found comfort in the fact that one day he would surpass his father and would make his mother proud.
Years passed and Sebastian learned from his mother that he was a brother again to a baby boy named Alexander.
Growing up Alexander was notably closer to his father, which made Sebastian’s relationship with his brother troubled, however Sebastian dismissed it as the boy did not know any better and eventually he will be forced to grow up and learn the truth. However as a result of this he often found himself spoiling Adelia who was growing up and becoming quite demanding of her big brother.
As time continued conflict in the family became worse and eventually led to Raphael leaving the Aeuhert family estate with Alexander .
After his parent’s split Sebastian watched his mother fall into a downward spiral of depression.
Along with Adelia he frequently spoke with his mother about the split and she confided in the two regarding the truth of their father, themselves and the Aeuhert family, She also made Sebastian promise that no matter what happens he would take care of his sister Adelia.
Now at the age of 39 Sebastian is the head of the Aeuhert family and is the epitome of law, order and justice, he has a deep set loathing of people who fail to uphold these basic principles and also resents anything or anyone that would dare tell him otherwise. As the eldest sibling his mother wrote in her note that the great sword “Agnidynestra” is to be passed onto him upon both her and Raphael’s passing.
Inevitably the time came for the sword to be bestowed upon Sebastian, however he was shocked to find that the sword was not in the place stated by his mother
Enraged and with no time to lose Sebastian returned to the house and managed to locate the sword however it was in the hands of Alexander.
Sebastian and the family security were unable to stop Alexander from escaping but he remained persistent in trying to find him.
He was soon stopped by Adelia who insisted they needed to plan before they went after him and although reluctant to just let Alexander get further away, Sebastian along with Adelia began to plan how to retrieve the sword and their brother by any means necessary.

Name: Lady Talisa Aeuhert (Deceased)
Height: ??
Age: ??
Bloodtype: ??
Story
Lady Talisa is the wife of the champion Raphael Aeuhert, she enjoys the wealth and fame of being the champion’s wife, regrettably this lifestyle soon got Talisa she turned from a once loving wife into a corrupt baroness driven by wealth and power.
She didn’t display this side to her son Sebastian however, instead choosing to lavish him with whatever he wished.
This did not sit well with Raphael who was strongly against spoiling the boy and the two would often argue about the matter.
Years later after the birth of the couple’s second child Adelia, Lady Talisa’s lust for power became too much for Raphael to bear any longer which prompted his swift departure from the family.
The premise of losing everything was something that lingered in Talisa’s mind and she was not about to let that happen, the mix of anger, sadness and corruption coursed through her arguably rendering her insane.
She quietly schemed to use her own children as instruments of revenge against Raphael.
Over the years her venomous words seeped into the minds of her two children, by playing the role of a victim crushed by husband she was able to manipulate them, causing them to harbour deep resentment towards their father while somewhat pledging undeniable loyalty to her.
Everything seemed to fall in place quite nicely until the fateful day when Raphael would return back to them with his new son Alexander…
Seeing this as another opportunity to turn another mind against Raphael she welcomed them.
Again on the exterior she posed as the nicer parent and tried exactly what she did before all while surpressing her seething rage for the boy.
This time however it was not working since.the boy was having none of it, this further enraged Talisa who in turn told Adelia and Sebastian of the boys ungratefulness and cold demeanour towards her which as she anticipated led up to them also becoming cold towards Alexander just like they were their father.
With all the pieces of the puzzle nicely in place Talisa continues her mission of revenge against both Alexander and her husband.

Time had passed since those days and now Raphael found himself to be dying of a slow de-generative disease.

For years arguments continued to erupt about the boy and soon his sister to the point Raphael deemed it for the best if he were to leave them awhile.
During that time Raphael found himself in the company of another woman who didn’t seem too phased by his wealth or standing, instead she just loved him.
Time continued to pass and Raphael soon found himself with yet another son called Alexander.
Raphael loved his son but he was saddened he had allowed himself to cheat on his family but that wasn’t Alexanders fault so he knew he would just have to face the consequences for his actions.

But the cracks soon starting showing again as old ways returned and now with Sebastian and Adelia appearing to be controlled by his mothers influence.

This Week in Review..
June 28th - July 2nd
It is now 2 weeks before the absolute last day and thankfully we have been given till that day to hand the FMP in as opposed to July 9th.
Needless to say everything in relation to Desperation is now pretty much sorted, the missing character emotion images in the Ren'ai have been put in and pretty much it's just bug fixing now.
That was until we got news of a big event happening in the last week that piqued my attention as to yet another chance to show off Desperation.
So with that event in mind and with some time to spare I consulted the project leader and suggested a few ideas to take this to the 11th.
The suggestions I suggested were the following:
The hidden chapter Adelia's Betrayal (Desperation's main game again but with Adelia)
Character Bios
Choices in the Ren'ai
All of the above were approved after we evaluated the amount of time, manpower, willpower and the volume of work all of which calculated at being quite possible with our current force.
So this week I worked on writing character bios for the Ren'ai characters, re-writing the old and outdated character bios for the main cast, writing a whole new dialogue for the hidden chapter and finally fine tuning the possible choices in the ren'ai.
Thankfully none of it took too long since the majority of it had been written or at least roughly panned out prior to the decision.
The 2nd trailer is also well underway with the cameras in place and the doors animated, just need the V/O, The interviews and the gameplay footage and we have the second trailer done.

Showcase Review
As mentioned previously in the last post much of my time was spent finetuning and putting the script into the appropiate 3 line format but when that was done I had to do final checks on spelling and wording.
Then came showcase day which was the stage on which we were going to get feedback from a playable work in progress of Desperation.
The trailer proved to be extremely effective in catching peoples attention and was hailed a success
Despite a few minor errors in a few places the feedback was extremely positive for both the Ren'ai and the hack and slash and we now have a solid basis on which to continue our work and expand our ideas even further.
That being said "Desperation" did win the award for best games production.
With the majority of the game being done it's now a matter of just improving and possibly adding a few more things to turn it from "A work in progress" to "A finished Product"
We have already commenced work on the 2nd Desperation trailer and we will be looking at what more we can add to really bring it to the dance.

5 Days From The Showcase.
Monday 7th - Saturday 12th June
Times are busy now and it has been hard to keep the diary up to date. However since last time we have taken great strides of progress in getting the games sorted.
We have all the assets pretty much in place now for both the Ren'ai and the main game. Now we need to put our faith in the leaders programming skills to bring it all together.
There's not a lot to report on the story front since that was done a while ago so pretty much all I have doing is finetuning lines and added odds and ends.
That was until Wednesday 9th when I had to convert all my writing into a format recognisable by pygame which meant more time finetuning since pygame doesnt like apostrophies or ... etc
However as of today Saturday 12th that is all pretty much done and again its adding lines and dialogue to increase the time spent on the game.
It is also worth mentioning that our team started working on an idea for a trailer to show at the showcase which hopefully will work quite well. As for me well I have a Desperation T-shirt being printed for the occasion

Wednesday 28th April
The gaps between the posts are getting longer as the deadline looms and I soon forget that I have to update the blog.
In anycase since the end of the easter holiday the group has made progress specifically in the programming area due to "Internal Conflicts".
We have managed to break down what we need in our game and have worked on building classes for the game.
A fair amount of time has been on dusting the ren'ai to a state of near completion...
with only the artwork to go in it shouldnt be long before that is complete.
The main game itself will hopefully take more shape in the further weeks but that is an entry for another time.
We have also began working on sound modules for the ren'ai using Reason so hopefully soon we will be able to put the real emotion in.

Tuesday 30th March...
It's been 29 days since the last update, but for me this month has just been focusing on building up the Ren'ai and taking care of other tasks.
For the most part the story of the Ren'ai is done, its just a matter of me fine-tuning a few rough areas of dialogue.
I briefly assisted with some of the 3D modelling for the game creating Sebastian's sword and a vase and also briefly assisted with sound for the game. But time is short so I need to keep on with the writing.
Admittedly it's been a bumpy ride due to internal and external conflicts but it matters not, on the day we delivered... Just like always...
Yesturday our team had our 3rd presentation to showcase what happened with the game in the last 3 months.
We were able to showcase very early forms of both the main game and the Ren'ai, it was my duty to introduce the masses to Desparation: Heart of a Maiden
Everything is taking shape, ideas from last time such as the artbook have become reality and once more the band stand united and ready to carry on into the last 14 so weeks.
I have no doubt now that we will get this done and hopefully we can tune up the band one last time and deliver a final finale to put all the negativity and doubts to rest.
