Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

Is it almost done yet?

I'm just kidding. Keep up the good work. I know I could opt for beta testing, but I'm happy to wait until it's done.

Yea the video is a bit choppy cause youtube likes to * the video quality for some reason.. On my computer when I run the video from my desktop it looks 100% perfect.

And curse youtube.. The video was epic with the music and whatnots.. And I don't wanna use the audioswap feature.. Youtube has gotten stupider over the past year I can tell.. I wish there was a way we could upload video's here instead of having to place them on youtube >.>

Hmm, I seem to be getting a hell of a lot of error reports from my betas...

Aww now don't be so disheartened Lyla, this is all part of the development and testing process. Besides, this is why we're here to test it out.

Anyways, the reasons I was late replying to your last PM was because I was playing, so I assume I'm forgiven.
I have to say that you have done an effing fantastic job! I'm glad to be taking part in the beta testing now, that's for sure. If these are all the bugs so far then there won't be many more to find. And considering how they're coming up only now is good too.
I had to laugh when I got to Krup and we got round to finding out who Saya was.

I've sent a PM containing my impressions and whatever wee glitches I may have found, if they haven't already been noticed so far.

As always, keep up the great work. It's been well worth it.

Thank you for that, Xan. And I do agree with you that Krup is possibly one of the most amusing areas in the game (at least, until you get to Aiedo ) There's never a dull moment if Alys and Hahn are in your group.

So, how do you like the gameplay so far? Is the difficulty enough? Or is it too hard? The game can be beaten at level 20, so there's no real need for excessive level grinding.

So yes, 18 and a half months of work, in the form of the demo my betas play now.

Ah, sorry Lyla, I've just been compiling my first PM to you on the matter. It has everything from my first playthrough. But the screen I attached is too small it seems. Just FYI, it was when you meet Hahn in Piata. He says "We trying to get information as to what's going on." It's really just a typo. Hope that helps.

And now I can't wait to get to Aiedo.

I haven't posted any screens in a while, so here we go.


Finalised cut scene.


Just a teaser for the AirCastle area. ^^


That pest....


Yep, that lunatic is back.

This is amazing. I need to read this whole topic and then die of anticipation.

Seriously, there's an insane amount of awesome in there.

Well why don't you ask Lyla nicely enough and see if there's a space left for the beta testing that's going on.

Someone looking to beta-test? I'm glad you like the work so far, Aero (I'm listening to one of your songs now, btw. Journey on Alisa 3. Always loved PS3's overworld tune). If you'd like, I could send you a beta to test, though I'm still fixing a couple of things. Release might now be scheduled for late July... Though you might be too busy with your music compositions. Then it's not a problem. I have 3 or 4 betas working on the game already, and I'm still waiting for Atlin to submit his 5 page analysis.
