I put links above as usual, but you may want consider playing the Steam version this time due to all the new achievements! Trading cards and other Steam items have been activated as well.
In non-Steam news, please check out all the new attack animations! I put a ton of work into this, trying to make the game more visually striking throughout. There's also quite a bit of visual polishing above, taking the game increasingly close to the final release. ^-^
Happy Valentine's Day, I guess?
Vallentine's Day, the day where the prices shoot 10 times more than the surrounding days, and where normies go out with peoples who will ditch them in a month. Soooo romantic.
ReplyDeleteWell, I might say that, but my parents are still happily married after 30 years, so I guess I'm pretty lucky. Romance is just not for me, I'm much more dedicated to shipping fictional characters *smh* Stay safe everyone.
Now, more seriously, let's get to the report.
- The map is nice, if a bit plain. I would have liked to see the names of the fallen kingdoms there since it's never revealed in the game.
I know there was at least Givini and Vinario, along with the unamed northern elven kingdom, but that still leaves 2 unamed, 3 counting the elves. Plus it would give an early idea of where you start, before seeing Simon map.
Then again, it would make sense for a Chosen to not even know the name of the countries.
-Little bug I think. Even after filling the entire library by getting the final book on the Forgotten Island, Orilise keep saying it's almost complete.
-Now, unto the sprites !!! Grynith change is very clear, and Tertia get more cleavage, Yarra would approve ^^ She's also less blurry, which is nice.
Varia now has her bandana, her top is purple, her hair is slightly more paler and she have paldrons.
Fheliel, Bertricia, Sarai and Robin's hairs are a bit paler, I don't see anything else.
-Couldn't spot a difference on Aka, Uyae, and Wendis. Does it concern their other forms ?
- The empty spot of animation in Yarra's room is still empty. Also, speaking of animations, when you use the canopy bed it plays on the canopy, not the bed. Never sure if it's cannon or not XDXDXD
- Lilith and Mestan battlers are nice ^^ Talking about that, will Lilith battle busts will be random ? Can't wait to see a TV drink a potion or a bunny yeet a tree XDXDXD
-With all those new attack effects, I kinda hesitate to finish the fights now XDXDXD New sound effects too ? Great work !!! New Incubus Strike is mighty cool ^^
-Hadn't seen the 'fidgets and squirm' line in Death fight ^^ So cute ^^
-Hmm, considering how much the Doom King influenced our story, I want to have a memento but.... All my portraits are taken XDXDXD
With a single one, I could reach the golden ratio, noooo !!!
I was going to suggest putting a new portrait emplacement on the wall behind the throne, but if the restored Doom Armor isn't put in the Forgotten Sanctum, that would be where I would put it. Hmmmmm..... I'll wait to see if it there on the final roaming section.
Why insist on putting the Doom Armor on Death Island ? Well because that would be super duper cool, and if we have ignorant guests in the future, it would be awkward to see the Doom King tucked in a corner XDXDXD
He could probably replace the tablets before the coffin, and talking to it would make his bust appear, along with the text : "Here lies the last of the Incubus King, the final Doom of Fate, forever resting in Oblivion's embrace after leading the world to an everlasting era of peace."
*eyes full of stars and wonder*
Take that, Death of Kings gauntlet !!!
Plus it would be funny if centuries later, explorers found it ^^
Everyone would go mad with mostly true conspiration theories XDXDXD
-Quite nice to have busts for all the ambassadors. Will there be more ? I'm thinking about Lady Entila, it might give up the twist for new players if she doesn't have a bust. At least I haven't found it.
I don't see much else to add, so see you next time !!!
Ah yes, before I forgot again, I think I remember seeing you mention that you were interested in working on other peoples games after finishing TLS.
DeleteThat made me think of an... well old game now, BoneHead.
Sure, the story is pretty classic compared to yours, but the art is nice, it's on RPG Maker, I liked it, and the developer clearly could use some help to boost the developement since the last update was on 2015, though he gave well being news on 2023.
Lots of game breaking bugs too, so your super helper team could definitely do wonders there ^^
Here's his blog : http://regless.blogspot.com/ and you can contact him on F95zone (I think)
It would definitely be cool to see this one brought to completion too ^^
No pressure ^^
But please see it kindly XDXDXD
Glad you enjoyed the new content!
Delete>Little bug I think. Even after filling the entire library by getting the final book on the Forgotten Island, Orilise keep saying it's almost complete.
Another person said this too, but I'm not sure what the problem is. =/ Orilise figures out whether you've filled the library via a big calculation, and the number of checks is correct, so one of those must be mistaken somehow. No energy to check them all again. -_-
>The empty spot of animation in Yarra's room is still empty.
Yup. Postgame.
>Talking about that, will Lilith battle busts will be random ? Can't wait to see a TV drink a potion or a bunny yeet a tree XDXDXD
Not totally random, but they will be a bit crazier than average!
>With all those new attack effects, I kinda hesitate to finish the fights now XDXDXD New sound effects too ? Great work !!! New Incubus Strike is mighty cool ^^
Thanks! I put a ton of work into changing most of them, so feel free to mention if any still need tweaking.
>Quite nice to have busts for all the ambassadors. Will there be more ?
While I wouldn't completely rule out more, this set completes my plans for additions.
>Ah yes, before I forgot again, I think I remember seeing you mention that you were interested in working on other peoples games after finishing TLS.
I'm interested in collaborating with others to create bigger and better things. You're not the first person to mention BoneHead to me, but I'm not sure there's really a project here.
Well I don't have any other game suggestions, so good luck finding what you want !!! If it's not this one, it will surely be another banger ^^
DeleteAbsolutely love the game! I started a new playthrough on the Steam version, and believe I may have run into a bug where Yarra's loyalty achievement didn't register despite maxing her out. It may have some other condition I'm unaware of at this time, however. Qum's did pop earlier, so I was only aware of max affection as the requirement.
