Content release! | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/content-release

2015-05-19 – 15:20. So, lots of new things went out, as of a few minutes ago. As usual, you can play the game online or download it with the links at the top of the site. If you start a new game, you can choose James’ appearance in the same way you can choose Kat’s (hair, skin tone, eye color). Sorry people with existing games – you’re stuck with the default James. A new location to visit. Nonkenia is pretty boring right now – there’s just the one rest event, but more coming soon. The game is now up to n...

Lapis Azurai | and other musings | Page 2

http://winds.blue/page/2

2016-02-17 – 12:10. This is not a political blog, nor do I intend to turn it into one. None the less, having the opportunity to live in such interesting times, I would feel remiss in not taking the opportunity to share my views. Few generations have the luck – and the burden – of being born at the crossroads of history. A growing amount – and that decrease in. Oil is bleeding the economy of the industrial world dry. In particular, you might enjoy his current serial fiction piece (parts 1. Additional slut...

It lives! | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/it-lives

2015-07-21 – 12:41. A big release here, as far as my releases go. This is an abbreviated list of changes. New art for Natalie. I am very excited about this. She looks really good with red eyes – I suggest you start a new game just to play with her colors, if nothing else. :). New location you can visit – the aforementioned Tomenoi. New GuildWork scene. It’s hella long, sort of stretching the format of the game. Is it too long? New resting event for James in Iron Sands. This may break a few existing saves...

Three quick reviews | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/three-quick-reviews

2015-05-01 – 15:09. You’re the owner of a pizza parlor (choose your gender). After a breakup, a pair of mysterious twins and a magic oven come into your possession. Food puns, cute visuals, an amazing voice actor (for Dougha, the female twin). Very short and exceedingly cute. There are 8 possible endings, and it’s rather obvious how to achieve each. It was surprisingly fun to play dress-up with the sprites. Download, play, spend 30min on the game. It’ll be well worth your time. What could be improved:.

About the Game | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/about

Vailia is the center of the world. Not out of arrogance does the city claim this, but as established fact – in all the thousands of miles of land and sea it has explored, no other nation dares brave the untamed wilds and storms of the open ocean. Its merchants bring together distant lands, carrying news across the known world despite the peril. Lapis Azurai is a Business Management Game / Visual Novel, written in Javascript ( Coffeescript. Actually) and inspired by the likes of Recettear. The game is fre...

A new game | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/a-new-game

2015-08-15 – 08:56. As mentioned previously, I’ve been taking a bit of a break from Lapis Azurai to work on a side project. It is significantly more more on par with brothels.im than Lapis. I present to you:. Http:/ hive.winds.blue/. I’ll probably fix any issues you all report, but honestly, it’s just for fun, and minor things like “continuity” and “making sense” and whatnot aren’t a real focus. You can download the game at http:/ hive.winds.blue/Hive.zip. Laquo; Short break. 8221; Tired. ”. 2 – Se...

Stat-increasing changes | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/stat-increasing-changes

2015-06-02 – 14:00. I’ve been debating for a while now how to handle the stat-raising aspect of the game, how to put more focus on the officers and their abilities rather than easily-increased crew members. I give you… an update. James can now poke his nose into things he really shouldn’t be poking his nose into at Mount Julia. A new mission from the Guildmaster. Carry a diplomat to Nonkenia. Get annoyed with her. Make her bodyguard walk the plank. :D. Let me know what you think of the new stat-paradigm&...

Gameplay update | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/gameplay-update

2015-06-09 – 16:02. Lots of good feedback on the last release – yay for comments. I didn’t take all the suggestions, and there’s still more I want to do (make contracts re-negotiable), but we’ll see where we end up. Diplomacy is gone. Yep, I axed an entire stat. It wasn’t pulling its weight. New crew members will have random attributes, doubling or halving their learning speed for different attributes. Kat’s Business rises slower. She’s just not real good at dealing with money. ;. Well, haven’t tri...

Idea request | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/idea-request

2015-07-01 – 10:38. So, I’m adding some more traits for sailors to have, and I’d like some ideas. I’m removing the “X increases only half as fast” traits – they’re boring. So far (in addition to “X increases twice as fast”) I have:. Fisher: Feeds two people while at sea. Cook: 0.1 happiness per day at sea. Musician: 1 happiness when distributing luxuries to the crew. Shipwright: 25% repair speed, 2 pay while working at the shipyard. Brewer: Slowly turns Wheat - Beer. Apothecary: 1 energy when resting.

Short break | Lapis Azurai

http://winds.blue/short-break

2015-08-01 – 05:24. I am, at the moment, taking a bit of a break from work on Lapis Azurai. I’ll get back to all of you in a week or two – schedules are not really my sort of thing. Just need a bit of time to relax, recover some inspiration and do something different. Instead, I present you a teaser for a simple little thingie I’m working on. Will it ever reach a playable state? Probably. Will it ever be large or bug free or balanced? I’m rather less fond of those things she calls “cars.&...Images are bo...
