Coolness. Definitely looking forward to more Sable.

Alright! Let's bring this back up here again. I hate keep turning pages and pages.

Also, your browser has a bookmarks function, your desktop will support URLs as shortcuts, your search bar probably has history searching, and your history tab will probably have a search function.

Your welcome.

I can't wait until Sable get's released!
You name the price, and I pay

Yes, but when? Smile.

@pates: Patience. Paul will release it when it is polished and ready for release. Continued nagging will only make that process drawn out even more. AFter all, if Paul has to reply answering questions like that that's time he could have spent writing code, or maybe handling other business rather than tend to the impatience.
It's good to be excited, but asking questions like when is it going to be released, twice? crosses into annoyance teritory.

Considering he hasn't, going off of audio games history that's a wise, wise choice. Even with release dates the angry community will still be ever-present asking again adn again, and even if they deliver, will be houdning them with bug reports already promising to be addressed.
In case people don't know, there is a lot of coordination, and, yes, red tape, that goes into a mainstream title's release date. A game's midnight launch is no spontaneous event. The press has the game probably a week before everyone else does, which has of course spilled into crowdfunding benefits like spcial early access. But when you pre-download a game to your console nowadays, it's absolutely ready for playing that week before the official release date, failing a few patches that will be applied automatically anyhow.
With an audio game that is not the case, because there is no huge team in place to make sure a release date can be honored, and dare I say it if it weren't for release dates in mainstream titles employees wouldn't be worked to the point of dangerous exhaustion and mentally draining burnout (ahem, Rockstar, here's looking at you).

Hi everyone,

Its paul here from Ebon Sky Studios.  i've just posted an update on Sables progress to our Facebook page and thought i'd share it here too, so the post is below:

With both the public and private alpha testing of Sable now come to an end, I wanted to  once again say a thank you to everyone, and also give an update on Sable. As mentioned in a previous post, all reported bugs from the public alpha are now fixed. This has given me some time to focus on some of the suggestions and feedback which came in during the public Alpha. I’ve been busy working away adding new features over the past couple of months. Although I won’t list them all here, I thought I’d share some of the key additions:

-I’ve added a tool for creating new class’s and also editing existing party member class’s (I think this was one of the most requested features during the public alpha testing). I’ll be continuing to fine-tune this.

-Added code so all NPC’s can now give multiple quests. There is no limit to how many they can give  and this means you can now have NPC’s set quest chains (something else asked after a lot during testing).

-Added the ability to assign multiple event triggers to NPC’s

-Added various other functions to NPC dialogs, which should give creators more flexibility, such as:
.The ability to block off lines of speech (which need to be unlocked to access).
.The ability to add as much speech as you like before after and during quests being set, rather than just creating singular speech lines.
.You can now create either individual speech lines  (as before), or blocks of speech for the NPC’s (where you have to press a key to progress the speech, rather than having to  interact with the NPC to get the next line of text). Really handy for creating conversation style dialogs.

-Created a couple of new event triggers. One of these allows you  to create an event trigger which sets the player a quest (this means it is now possible for any object in sable to set a quest using this event trigger). Similar to NPC’s you can set multiple quests and lock parts of the quest so it can only be access once unlocked.

-Added the ability to create sizable panning sounds and sizable trigger objects.

-Added the ability to assign custom battle music and battle ambience for each map (this can be handy for people  wanting battles to sound different in different locations)

-Added a creator option to change the gender selection during party set up to anything of your choosing, such as race, breed, type etc. As a further addition to this, rather than just being tied to the ‘male or female’ options as in the public alpha, you can now add whatever sound sets to the player folder and  these will self-populate into sable as options for the player to select during party set up.

There are quite a few other changes which have gone in too, but these are just  a few additions I thought you’d all like to know about.
Although I still have more features to implement and need to add a lot more polish, Sable is at a stage where it has everything required for the game design team to be building our first game, Crimson Eclipse.
The focus here at Ebon Sky Studios will now be switching fully over to the game development side of things.

Since we’ve probably all heard enough from me over the past few months
, I’m passing the proverbial Ebon Sky Studios torch over to the game design team. They will introduce themselves in an upcoming post, and over the coming months will be posting news and updates relating to Crimson Eclipse, so stay tuned  for more news on that!

Finally, once again a big thanks to everyone for their help, support and suggestions during both the public and private alpha Sable testing!

Hi.
Thanks for the update. Really great new features for sure. Those will make a huge difference for sure.
Keep up the fantastic job guys. I look so much forward to Crimson Eclips.
@pates: If you haven't noticed, the time to post ideas to Sable ran out long time ago.

Yes, I will buy sable!

It is made using BGT

@lemm
I have a suggestion, I don't know how you wrote your code so how difficult that would be to make possible, but did you think about adding a multi language function to sable? When i wrote my first rpg prototype (which unfortunately broke btw, kind of curius if you have fixed this can not open file bug yet) it was often wierd because all the elements where in english but the game it self was in german. Resulted in combinations like "verwirrt faded from bogenschütze."(confused faded from archer.).
