Quintessence - The Blighted Venom

Huey did not come up with the plan himself, he merely acted out his part as instructed by the Duke. Chapter 6 has some more spoilers on him - For now, I'll just assure you that he is not forgotten.


Okay, thanks.

*waits patiently for chapter 6*
 
Gah, xephyr! That evil kid thing was a joke!

Ah well... Lookin forward to next chapter. I thouroughly enjoyed the sneaking bit in chapter 5.
 
Then you'll probably love the two mini-games in the second part of Chapter 6. :>

I have just finished the chapter; am now on the fixing/debugging then beta testing stage. Should be released tomorrow.

YAAAAAY!

*begins to get overly excited*

Beta test like the WIIIIIINNNNNNNNNND!

>.>

My reaction exactly :D I can't wait for this. Quintessence is one of the only projects I really get excited over on here. I get even more excited when you say you think this is one of the best chapters  ;D
Can't wait to play!
 
kk i'm loving the story but I'm stuck in Chapter V walking around the town aimlessly. 
I did the present quest thingy where the girl ask me to play goalie and i won that... so then the sky turns dark.  I became a guard and then went east... that's the scene where lunaria turns into that officer.  i sworn i talked to everyone after that scene in the town so what am i missing?

i got the realize tune boxes too and the one in Heath's house as well.

Leave.I'm not sure what's next bu try going north then right, to Alden's grave.

After that I think you need to leave again and then proceed down south to the meeting place, I can't remember it clearly though, so don't rely on it too much.
 
ah thanks... i missed the grave.

omg it's over so soon though!
i love naria!  i can't wait till more comes out and i know it must take lots of work for such a game but this is simply superb!
 
So, since it is supposed to be released before (or on) christmas, which is in three days, that must mean you have just a bit more progress to do before completing chapter six.
So, are you running on time, a bit behind, or ahead of your plans?

Looking forward to this as always Reives. I might even have time to play! (no more work till after Christmas! woot!)
 
Thanks. :) I've been beta testing and am at the second last scene at the moment. . . A mini-game rather, and I'm a little stuck. The mini-game operates fine when I start on that map, but when I load the savefile onto the part of that map, it lags like hell. Not the kind of lag where it becomes choppy, but the kind of lag where the fps is decent yet the player walks extremely slow. I'm trying to figure out why, but so far struggling. It is rather disappointing, as that was my favourite part of the chapter.

Edit:
LMAO, my bad, that wasn't lag. I literally had the player's speed changed to slow by accident prior to that. *sigh*

I should be uploading the chapter in half an hour or so. :)
 
Hehe! Silly Reives! Well I'm glad you were able to find out what the problem was! I was gonna be bummed if you couldn't fix it. But you did! So yaaay!

Zomg. I jumped in my seat when I read that! Seriously :]
I can't wait! Haha...I've said that a lot.

Ima spazz out now!  :eek: Im so excited!
 
Whoo, good luck with that!

Also have you improved the battle system at all? I played up until Chapter 3, but It really turned me off.
 
If I recall correctly It involved alot of button mashing, and was quite laggy, although I'm sure that was my computer. I also found It a wee bit too hard.
 
@Money:
My apologies, I haven't had time to change anything about the battles prior to chapter 6.

However, the appreciation for the said battle system vary largely due to preferences, and the general concept mechanics will remain the same in the future as it is - it is quite a different system from most other games around here, hence it takes a while to get used to for some. However, once you are used to the keys, it should becomes extremely easy, as well as a break from the DBS/SVBS being used everywhere else. For me, since I'm familiar with it, I don't really loose hp for the most part during the chapter 3 fights at all. D:

There are some sample fight youtube video links in the Readme file that might help. Turning off the Smooth mode in F1 might help a bit with the lag, if it's on.

The good news is, that the bunch of fights in chapter 3 is the most amount of fights there is; after that, there are only a couple of fights in total scattered about - and the chapters after chapter 3 are generally voted as better than the first three.

~~~

Currently uploading, but at an extremely slow speed. If it's late at your place, it's probably better to just play this tomorrow. :> Says it's estimating 1 hour until completion.
