Still to do:

[*] Balance some synthesis items
Estimated time of release: this weekend
Diary:
[spoiler]
[size=12pt][color=orange]23.2.2012, Thursday: Today I completed
the fight of the elite boss. It will have two phases: first is
like "magic" based phase and second "attack".
24.2.2012, Friday: Today I finished rest of the elite boss
cinematics and did things all over the chapter.
[color=orange]25.2.2012, Saturday: I lost everything I did
yesterday and I've to do all things again. Today I calculated
the damage and what things I need to do again. Today however I
didn't do anything for the campaign itself. I just lost two
valuable days and Monday my work starts again. I believe the
campaign will be delayed few days from the estimated time of
release.
[color=orange]26.2.2012, Sunday: Today I continued doing the
campaign and finished all the elite boss cinematics. Also I
started doing the epic boss fight. It's the first big fight
against "a greater dragon". It will be difficulty to create this
fight and let's see how far my skills will carry me...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[color=orange]27.2.2012, Monday: Today I just had few hours
tiime and I used that time to continue creating the epic boss
fight.
[color=orange]28.2.2012, Tuesday: I continued doing the epic
boss fight and it's soon finished. Also I started doing the last
cinematics of the chapter.
[color=orange]29.2.2012, Wednesday: Today I continued doing the
epic boss a little bit, tested the campaign a little bit and
improved the terrain of the troll dungeon.
[color=orange]1.3.2012, Thursday: Today I tested a bit and I've
been testing and working all around the chapter.
[color=orange]2.3.2012, Friday:I didn't do much today, just
planning when I was at work. I've been having fun with a friend.
[color=orange]3.3.2012, Saturday:Today I've been doing things
all over the chapter again. I have one problem that keeps me
from testing the chapter. I mysterious have some strange
abilities that replaces some of my abilities. I wonder what's
going on and how I'm going to fix this.
[color=orange]4.3.2012, Sunday: It usually takes a week to next
version after I start 'properly testing' the campaign. I still
haven't started 'testing properly' which means I'll have to
postpone the release once again. I figured out I've totally
forgot to do one very important optional quest. Also the
gameplay is ruined for chaper 8; I have some basic Warcraft 3
spells from no where and these abilities takes place of my other
abilities. I'm trying to fix this problem but so far no results.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[color=orange]5.3.2012, Monday:Today I improved the current
mini-bosses and decided to do one more mini-boss: Behemoth.
[color=orange]6.3.2012, Tuesday: Today I've been thinking about
rewards... I think I'll have to resurrect the ultimate set
project.
[color=orange]7.3.2012, Wednesday: The whole day I was doing
ultimate sets. Now they're about 50% done. Magma set with some
changes will be Phodom's ultimate set, Elexorien III will be
part of Fradz's ultimate set and Galeoth will has his own. The
ultimate set pieces can be obtained from chapter 6 to 10 and
they have 4 pieces. Each peace is powerful.
[color=orange]8.3.2012, Thursday: I remade the vitality system
and started to fix this annoying bug. I used 8 hours and I fixed
half of the bug and I've finally gave up.
[color=orange]9.3.2012, Friday: Today I didn't do much I was
with a friend.
[color=orange]10.3.2012, Saturday: I've been doing this
mini-boss for Phodom the whole damn day(related to optional
quest 5). At least it will be challenging, interesting and
unique.
[color=orange]11.3.2012, Sunday: Great news, guys! I've finally
fixed the horrible bug. However, the bad side is that it MAY
delete your combat kings from your last save. Today I also
finished rest of the mini-bosses, now only Behemoth battle is
left to be done. I created a competition to gather some ideas.

I'm looking
for couple players to test chapter 8 before I finally release
it. I believe next Friday is the day when the campaign is at the
stage it's ready to be played other than myself. So post here if
you're interested to help me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[color=orange]12.3.2012, Monday: Today I finished rest of the
epic boss.
[color=orange]13.3.2012, Tuesday: I started doing the fifth
optional quest but eventually got bored to do it and left the
project undone. Then I continued doing the ultimate set and they
are now in pretty good shape. They're not yet done but near.
Also I'll have to once again postpone the release day. I need
one week for myself to test the campaign properly and I haven't
even started that yet. Still have few things to do.
[color=orange]14.3.2012, Wednesday: Finished the riddle
questions.
[color=orange]15.3.2012, Thursday: I almost finished the
ultimate sets and rewards for chapter 8.
[color=orange]16.3.2012, Friday: Testing & fixing.
[color=orange]17.3.2012, Saturday: At lan party.
[color=orange]18.3.2012, Sunday: At lan party.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[color=orange]19.3.2012, Monday: I've been doing item rewards.
Like I've said many times before it takes one week to a new
major version when I start to properly test the campaign. I
haven't started that yet. Actually I'll just remove the deadline
because I need to postpone it all the time. I'll put it back
when I'm sure about the deadline. I still have the item rewards,
fifth optional quest, Behemoth, last optional cinematic and some
minor things that jumps all the time.
[color=orange]20.3.2012, Tuesday: Today I've been doing rewards
once again. This is taking a lot longer than I first believed. I
guess I'll skip some items and will do later, but I'll do the
most necessary ones.
[color=orange]21.3.2012, Wednesday: I tested little and after
that I've doing rest of the day items. Items, items and items.
Soon they start to exude from my ears.
[color=orange]22.3.2012, Thursday: Ultimate Sets fucking finally
done. An enormous job it was.
[color=orange]23.3.2012, Friday: I've been rebalancing Synthesis
Items and making them even more unique they currently are. This
will delay the campaign release but it is fun to do and I think
it's required for the sake of the balance. Right now the
campaign is just too easy. Watch out in the next versions this
word "Zozi", hah!
[color=orange]24.3.2012, Saturday: Today I started doing the
fifth optional quest and tested a little bit. Not much but I was
having fun with a friend.
[color=orange]25.3.2012, Sunday: I continued doing the fifth
optional quest a little, then also the last optional cinematic
plus I even tested the campaign. Many things done today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[color=orange]26.3.2012, Monday: I finished the optional
cinematic and continued doing the fifth optional quest. This
cinematic is not easily done because it's a battle cinematic.
Those always needs more stuff.
[color=orange]27.3.2012, Tuesday: Today I continued doing the
fifth optional quest until I got bored. Then I went to test the
chapter 8 and fixed some things all over the chapter.
[color=orange]28.3.2012, Wednesday: Today I've been testing &
fixing.
[color=orange]29.3.2012, Thursday: Testing and fixing. Also I
did a little fifth optional quest.
[color=orange]30.3.2012, Friday: [color=yellow]My birthday!
[color=orange]31.3.2012, Saturday: I was fixing some problems
all around the chapter.
[color=orange]1.4.2012, Sunday: Testing and fixing. Now I'm
really close to the next version. Also Kitabatake started doing
a completely new Phodom, so eventually we'll have a new looking
main character.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[color=orange]2.4.2012, Monday: Finished the optional quest and
rest of the day I've been testing chapter 8.
[color=orange]3.4.2012, Tuesday: Testing & Fixing. Also Chimto
helped me with testing but I couldn't much get feedback from
him. Tomorrow Killa will help me testing. Oh, and I today I also
suddenly finished Behemoth mini-boss battle.
[color=orange]4.4.2012, Wednesday: Today doing some final things
to the chapter, then work and then to a bar. I didn't do much
today. Also my 5 day vacation just started and within this
vacation the new version will be released.
[color=orange]5.4.2012, Thursday: Testing and fixing with Killa.
Chimto also helped a little.
[color=orange]6.4.2012, Friday: Testing and fixing with Killa.
[color=orange]7.4.2012, Saturday: Testing and fixing.
[color=orange]8.4.2012, Sunday: Testing and fixing.
[color=orange]9.4.2012, Monday: Testing and fixing. Version 1.7
is now released.

Greetings,
"As requested" by whom?
And why does this automatically earn a place in Heaven? If I got
to choose, it'd be in the information topic, though you could
provide a reason why it's here instantly.

Hello Aero,
will 1.7 feature Cripple Triple Axe again (my favorite synthesis
item) or is it completely erased?
Will we be able to complete the Magma Set?
General question: 1.6 casted a lot of Death knights in the
cinematic "Man of mystery". Will we be able to fight all of
them, perhaps as Mini-Bosses or something like that. Personally
I liked Ashvatti and Nadija, so I thought it would be nice to
battle them....

What was so cool with Cripple Triple Axe?
My original plan was that but now that I made some changes
there's no really a warrior type of mini-boss which could drop
Magma Helmet. So I think I'll give it from chapter 9.
Yes, you'll eventually fight against all the death knights. Some
even twice. In the end, you're even able to fight against their
leader in a final battle.

So nothing documentable happened on Friday? Or is this the
beginning of delay?

There's a good reason for this: yesterday the campaign got
damaged and I'm now searching if it's possible to fix this or
have I lost everything I worked yesterday.

Personally I found it to be a well-designed mixture that offered
decent damage, stats bonus and health regeneration plus the
armor reduction (if it would have worked) from the skull of
chaos (an item that you would never use solely, which is ideal
for a synthesis). I also liked the icon.
So I am assuming you are considering to erase it?
And regarding the Death Knights: That is awesome. Looking
forward to the next version.
P.S.: Very sad that you lost your work and the release will be
delayed. Nevertheless keep up your great work and your spirit.
Keep us tuned.

I'm going to make some changes. I'll combine that skull of chaos
with some kind of magic item. I'm still not sure about the other
parts of the set.

Why wouldn't you just judge competition #39 already considering
how necessary it is for the cinematics ? It doesn't look like
there will be additional entries after all.
