@BlackWings:
Glad ya enjoyed it. :smile: And wow, you did pretty good with the hammer time thingy then; I'm stuck at 80% for easy mode and 70% for fast mode, hahah.
And thanks; it's probably too long for one, heheh. Perhaps a soap opera. :p
@Makio:
I foresee more Vikon faces in the future, they are long overdue!
@xinrua
Thanks for the enthusiasm!

I was just informed that there is a glitch with a barrel in Chapter 1 that does crashes the game, although it bypassable. If you are using an earlier version, it's fine if you just don't check the barrels in Chapter 1, since there's no real impact anyhow. The fixed version uses the same URL as before;

And here's a video of the mallet mini-game, someone asked about it somewhere else and I thought it wouldn't hurt to post it here for fun too:

@Makio:
Glad the execution had some impact. :'> I was a little worried about the predictability; at the beginning of the FB, the fact that were two of them and one was labeled ??? was a bit of a give-away, heheh. Poor Euphony though; he made the sprites and could immediately notice the fact that they were switched, hah.

It's done :P Just let me know where I can mail it (I might be wrong, but I think hotmail might not accept attachments over a certain size so I'm not sure if I can email them to you that way).
Still haven't had your audio sorted out eh? :p A comp tech help forum could probably be of better help, it might be good to look into those if it's still no good. Good luck with it!
And this is especially a bad time to have audio trouble. . . Because:

Drift - <Quintessence TBV> Ending Theme
Performed by: Laura Shigihara
Composed/Lyrics by: Kan Gao (Reives)
(c) Quintessence - TBV
This is my first composition that involves singing, and actually sang (beautifully)! Needless to say I was very excited when she sent me the tracks; I immediately sat for 4 hours mixing it since midnight, heheh.
Anyhow, enjoy! Laura Shigihara is miss matcha from rmxp.org.
Her pop music site is located here: http://www.mybluedream.com/
And her .org project thread is here: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=42176.0
(With some of the coolest original BGMs around here!)
So voila, here's to Quintessence's first performed track. Many thanks, Laura!!

Crikey. That music hardly sounds like it was put together electronically, until a few telltale instruments sneak in, and even then it's fantastic. What's the program you use?
Lovely voice for it.

Oh man, just finished 8. I have to say I TOTALLY PREDICTED THAT HAHAHA =) I love it when I'm right. Oh and I mean about
but anyway, this game is seriously amazing. Though I did have some battle problems that made me mad. Wow, there's so much to say, I really don't know where to begin. And to waste your time reading, I'll just say, 8.0 out of 10 on Chapter 7 and 9.9 out of 10. There were a few missing words in some of the sentences, that's where the .1 gets taken out. And chapter 7 had some battle problems, and I did get annoyed at a couple things. But the endings for each one were awesome. Good job!
The wolf, I totally predicted that it would be her, I mean it was kinda obvious. I had posted about it back when I had finished 6. When they first mentioned the wolf, I knew it was most likely her.

Thanks guys! :smile: The accompaniment is mostly just Finale 2006 default soundfont actually - but the violin is Garritan Personal Orchestra. The accompaniment's actual sound quality isn't that up to par, a lot of it is just covered up by the beautiful singing. The lyrics are by me, albeit a little cheesy, heheh - but hopefully it has some noticeable connection with the story.
I've made two updates to the song now. The first revamp was rematching vocal at the second part and turning it up a bit, and the second revamp (I just finished right before posting this) is to add a cello part to the violin solo in between the two sections, as well as bring out the violin more during that part.
Here's the newest revamp (it uses the same URL as before):
http://www.quintessence-tbv.com/Drift.mp3
And yep, it's going to be used in place of the current version of Drift; in the ending music video. I will release an updated version of the chapters in the near future with that (plugging into the current one will not be timed correctly), as well as a lot of minor bug fixes.

@Speedpaws:
Heheh, thanks. As for the battles, was it the wasps that stun you to turtle speed? If so, you were supposed to use wolf form for them, as its utility is immunity to slowing/snare effects. Probably should've made it more obvious, though.

I sent you a PM about this earlier when I was just starting this Reives, but now it's finished. To commemorate the release of Chapter 7 and 8, I made a fan-arrangement/cover of "To Realize". It doesn't quite sync up with the actual in game intro, just because of a short silence at the beginning, but I'll probably upload a fixed version that doesn't have that issue in a little while. Anyway, hope you like it:
To Realize Cover.

Nice job Reives! I've downloaded the finished version, and I think you've done a fine job putting it all together. I also forgot to add in my PM that the effect at the beginning sounds really cool. It was a pleasure working with you Now if only I could get past my stupid writer's block and finish this assignment I have for work... (it's 2am and I'm procrastinating)
Now if only I could get past my stupid writer's block and finish this assignment I have for work... (it's 2am and I'm procrastinating)Oh. My. God. You just keep going. :D
I'm not sure if you remember me, it's been a while since I last visited this forum and commented on your project, heheh. Anyway it was really great seeing that you're still working on this. I downloaded the new version and played it trough again from chapter 1, since I have missed chapter 6 aswell and the saving you provided was from the end of chapter 6 or something like that. ^^
Well, what can I say... This game is just amazing, as I've said several times before already. :D
Loved the new chapters! The story is getting more interesting every minute, and the gameplay is a lot better now too. Lots of fun minigames, more battles etc. It only gets a bit confusing sometimes.
I had some moments where I couldn't understand where to go. ^^ Also, it's annoying that the character levels often get reset.
Anyhow, the end of chapter 8 was shocking... omg... Can't wait for chapter 9! :D
I also found a few bugs, and made screenshots of some of them (cba to point out every single passability bug or something, there's a lot. :D)
Well uh.. Awesome work, as always! Keep going!
Good luck!

3 little passability bugs which I DID make a screenshot of.

And now here's a more serious one. :P It's when you have to go tell the people in the Guarav town that the carnival is open. Uhm.. I changed into a bird right in the first village (you should actually still be in Serai form I believe and it shouldn't even be possible to transform there yet), and when I went to the forest it was supposed to change me back from Serai to Lunair. Well, it changed the charset, but it still acts like a bird. :D It was funny flying around with Lunair, haha.

You wait until youre online...
absolutely spectacular. Chapter 7 was exceptional. It provided classic Q gameplay, and moved the story along quite nicely. It didn't feel like the journey back from Aeria was indeed too long, or too short. But Chapter 8- the tunnel was actually a golden moment- it was the most scared I've ever been in an RMXP game (and no, for those of you who ask, I was not scared. I meant the atmosphere noobs :|). The carnival was brilliant also, and although I predicted the thing about Petal, the wolf... :|
I didn't...
sh*t man.............
so Chapter 9...

@Akura:
Thanks. As for Audiosurf - Could you just plug a song in and it'll run, or do the songs have to be built in?
@Arcanum:
As responded here, fantastic stuff. I think we got a new opening version of To Realize here, guys. A slight variation from that, but none the less.
@miss matcha:
Pleasure was all mine. Thank you again for the beautiful singing. :smile: I hope the appreciation in peoples' responses are of some merit! Good luck with your assignments, I'm sure they'll turn out great. :> Sometimes things just suddenly click when it comes to composing.
@zealex:
I remember you. In fact I remember putting you in the thanks list back then as well. :p Thanks for coming back and playing through them, and glad ya enjoyed it! And ah, character levels often got reset? D: I think there is a place in chapter 7 when you arrive back at Korbs that I messed up with that part, but were there other places as well?
And many thanks a lot for the bug reports! I'm hanging onto them for a major bug fixing session in the near future. :> That Lunair flying thing is quite a concern, though - You said you were able to transform/fly in Korbin Village? I couldn't understand how that happened; if I left the transformation block off, then that means you were able to transform all along since Chapter 7's begnning? If you could give me a bit more detail on what happened there, it'd be very appreciated. :smile:
@bradley:
Thanks. :> I didn't actually think the tunnel would be that moody; I'mean it's in a medieval setting, and it's Quintessence, so you know that nothing's really going to happen either way, heheh. But glad you had fun with it. There were quite a few obvious plot progressions in these two chapters this time 'round, as I gave out a lot of hints as well (even for the wolf, in the end of Chapter 6). I tried to rely on the execution to put some touch onto them, heheh.
I am undergoing final exam month now (last one being on 28th), so I'll be focusing on that for a bit. However, after that it'll be summer vacation - and even if I get a job, free time should still be plenty for Chapter 9.
Thanks.

Hmm.. yeah I guess the level only got reset once, don't know why I said often. :P
About the flying bug, I can't really remember. ^^ I think I transformed at Kardian's/Kaire's house, because yeah, you can't transform in the village.
Good luck with the exam btw.
Edit: Ohh, it could have also been at the mountains, east of the village.
