Quintessence - The Blighted Venom

[Reives]

5-8 more chapters left, most likely. :> While I do know the main plot of where it's headed as well as the ending, I am adding details in as I go on.

P.S. Ang: That thread was your imagination.

Edit:
New fanart in progress, by... me!
(Colored pencils, abused PS filter on photo for no real reason.)

I'm no artist, but this is probably one of my better drawings, heheh. Hope to finish it in the near future.

 

[Ratty524]

Is it me or is her chest overly-big? xD

Not bad, are you pursuing to be an artist by any chance?

 

[Anglachel]

That's not bad if your not really an artist.

...Dayum I'm sure I... It was called someones theme. Maybe it was somone else and you posted in it and I got mixed up? haha who knows

 

[Reives]

@Ratty:
Really?! Rofl, I've no idea about how to proportion certain parts properly. The first draft was like concaved chest, heh. Meh, consider it fan service then, right? Hahah.

And hell no I'm not pursuing to be an artist. I'd love to but I don't have the edge or time for it. :/

@Angla:
Heheh, I did have a thread then had it deleted. :p

Edit:
Semi-colored and more filter abuse... (Don't have a scanner, had to take a crappy photo of it. :| I swear it looks so much better on paper.)

I like how you coloured her hair. n.n Great job. XD Some people find pencil crayons hard to use, but you seem to have no trouble with them. n.n

And...5-8 more chapters. can't wait!

 

[Reives]

I have done a few resource trades, so there will be some edited sprite action going on in the next few chapters now. Wewt.

I have not officially started working on chapter 5 yet - am just currently getting the planning together at the moment. I finished the drawing, though, and I think it turned out alright. With some photoshop abuse, I might be able to incorporate such drawings into the ending music video in the future. (If it works I will probably draw one for other characters, too)

Photographed, don't have a scanner. :<

Filter abuse!
I don't know about you, but this one creeps the hell out of me.

Comments and feedback welcomed!! :>

P.S. I used the filter for fun, please don't criticize about its presence. :p

 

[G-man]

Lol me too.........me too....

 

[Speedpaws]

hahaha I love the one with the filter! It's awesome! =D

 

[Makio-Kuta]

I think that images like that would look lovely in the ending credits. I really like it when games do such things. (the only one I can think of off the top of my head right now is Chocobo Racing n.n' but yeah)

Again, I really love how you coloured the picture.

Heheh, I did have a thread then had it deleted. [/quote[

Your messing with my head Reives! :P May I ask why? Sorry for spamming your project thread.

After reading the intro discussion thread I re-watched your opening credits. I then noticed that it said it was based on a novel by you? Wow really? How lonng is it? Could you tell me a bit about it?

 

[Reives]

Thanks guys! Oh, and a friend helped to polish the photo of the drawing to this:

@Makio:
Heheh, I am planning to somehow incorporate them into the ending credits, especially if I get to make an ending music video for it. Let's hope I have the patience after making chap 5, unlike chap 4. :p

@Anglachel:
Because I felt guilty when people asked if they could use it, heheh. It was an exclusive resource trade.

I have to admit, the novel part was somewhat of an exaggeration. Two years ago, I did work on a fiction with a very similar story (minus the full blown fantasy part of the intro). But it was not finished, stopping at a bit over a hundred pages.

And guess why I stopped working on it? *cough*found RMXP*cough* :p

The main difference between the fiction version and this game version is that the fiction version was relatively less fantasy, as it does not contain any of the things that was shown in the game's intro (after the intro credits).

It started out with Reivier running into a tent trotting down a jumbled journal entry after finding about about Lunair, then gets knocked out by (Lunair) after he hides the journal and goes outside. After that, it starts from a day prior to that, leading up to where he found out about her.

The intro passage of the above part is posted at the Info section on http://www.quintessence-tbv.com. I seriously do refrain from posting other parts though, as the writing was pretty horrible now that I read it again. :p English's my second language, and back then I've only came to Canada for like 4 years, so.

----------------------------------------

Well, after a short break I've decided to gradually start labouring again.

Chapter V will be broken down to 2 parts, 'Temptation' and 'Confrontation'.

As I work on it, I'll release more detailed info in the related topic on http://www.quintessence-tbv.com/forums
And again, I really appreciate it if anyone who enjoyed Quintessence can make a post or two there to get the forum a bit more lively for the time being! Ya don't even need the email confirmation thing when registering.

I just finished chapter 4, and I have to say, wow. I love how you did the cinimatics for it. This shouldn't even be a game, it would be amazing just as a normal episodic series. =o

 

[bradleydfc]

Hmph. I'm in the forest north of the town that

Spoiler

got robbed by the Underground Man. xD

Is that the end of chapter IV?

 

[Reives]

Nope. My favorite cinematic scenes are after that part. Continue on north until Lunair says that it's getting late, then find the north western exit on that map to trigger the cut-scenes (15 min probably).

 

[bradleydfc]

Yeah watched it! :D
It's brilliant.
Thanks.

I've finished mapping most of Aeria's exterior maps now, sort of. Still planning to refine them at a later date, but here is what they look like so far. (You might recognize a few of them from flash backs at the end of Chapter IV.)

Full of yellow/purpleness. :p Aerians are rather full of themselves, it seems.

Feedback/suggestions etc. welcomed!

 

[Makio-Kuta]

I really really adore the colour scheme you used. The purples and yellows and greens match each other really nicely.

 

[Ratty524]

I really really adore the colour scheme you used. The purples and yellows and greens match each other really nicely.

Complimentary colors! ^_^ It totally rules.

 

[Erichermit]

Wow, this game is looking better and better! I can see I missed a lot while I was here in canada, I'll be sure to download part 4 very very soon!
