- Things Are Happening!!! - 22 June 2026
What's going on? It's been over a year and a half! So to be upfront, both me and the other two developers of the project acquired full time employment which is one of the big factors to the radio silence since March 2025. This project isn’t paying the bills and we don’t think it's in a state for any kind of monetary inquiry. Last August after some internal testing we realized the state of chapter 1 was very disjointed and bloated. So we completely overhauled it. Some areas appear earlier in the story and others were straight up scrapped. The playtime for chapter 1 slimmed down from 2 hours to about an hour, while chapter 2 is an extra 2ish hours. Now before we came to that conclusion chapter 2 was already around 60% done, we just need to do some polishing and finish the final dungeon leading to the second generals fight. As of now the overhaul of chapter one is basically done, and chapt…
- What's Happening??? - 22 March 2025
IS PARADIGM SHIFT ABANDONED? So it's been a bit. I'm going to cut to the chase, we haven't abandoned the game, if for any reason the game is cancelled you will know and we will announce that! Sadly we all have jobs and or are in school so the amount of time we want to put into the project just isn't as much as we want it to be. We're sorry if you feel as though our communication sucks in terms of Paradigm Shift, but we simply want to say we are here. UPCOMING UPDATES Onto better news, we've been working on chapter 2 almost every week since last September whether it be a lot of progress or a little bit, we're roughly 35% done with it. That may not sound like a lot but, most of the progress was achieved in the past 2 months so here's hoping. So in the meantime we've also been working on an update to a lot of visuals including face sets, battle animations, the usual balancing and bug fixin…

- Moving to MZ - 1 March 2022
Updates have been getting slower as of now, due to burnout of our main programmer. After all, this is our first real game we've ever created so far back in 2018, so there needed to have overhauls for concepts and how the game would look and play. Seriously, we greatly apologize for the slow progress. We didn't expect to find THIS many bugs in our demo, we're working with the best that we can get with our limited schedule. The game is being developed on our free time, between work and school. This doesn't mean that we're abandoning the project no no not at all! Right now, we're going to be moving the game from RPG Maker MV to MZ, to better optimize the 3D of the game, since there were a lot of issues with lag and softlocks in open areas (especially the NE map). Texts and dialogue will be updated, along with UI and battle animations. There are added options for adjusting the 3D: Field of…
- Paradigm Shift Updates and News - 10 September 2021
Where the heck have ya'll been? So It's been a hot minute since the last update and it's because we've been working really hard for this update. The game currently struggles to shift from 2d to 3d so we decided to completely convert the game areas to 3d. One of the big reasons this has been a while is also the implementation of 3d models, we didn't expect to need a lot but we're getting through. We've taken this opportunity to also revamped and tweak a lot of the maps, in general, to make the game look better as well. So please keep and eye out near December, we hope to be very close to finalizing Chapter 1. -The Lunar Boon Team
