Quintessence - The Blighted Venom

[Reives]

Yep. Try the new intro & chapter 1 sometimes Fire, I do think that there are some rather substantial changes.

P.P.S. The Hall of Shame version of Quintessence from 2005-2006 is now posted on the home forum (has some requirements to view though).

I'm so glad to see you have released chapter 9! -does dance-
Epic.

Spoiler: btw

I'm stuck in the forest part, right after Reives sees the letter. Lunair notices something above her and I've tried checking everything including the sleeping tree and the continue of the way but I just couldn't figure what am I needed to do?

 

[Reives]

Spoiler

Go to the place where there are 2 bees circling around. Use hawk form to fly into the opening in there and in the south direction, you can get to a place to get what you need. c: P.S. Don't forget to replay the intro and chapter 1, as they are redone and certain important things have changed.

 

[Koriz]

Sure will, sir Thank you

Dear Reives,

I really love your game, but I have some questions to ask you:

1) After Lunair got the Bear Form, does the story continue to somewhere else?

2) While in the Carnival, the story continue after I exchanged for the 2nd teddy bear, but I wanted to know what will happen if I saved enough tokens to get the 3rd teddy bear, does the story evolve differently?

I only have 2 questions for the time being. Ohh btw, once you've release the next chapter, is it possible to continue playing without the need to re-download?

Regards,
Joseph

@Zen:
Sorry for the late response;
1) Yes, after you finish that battle and obtain the new form, head East.
2) Nope, it is linear at that point.

The new release will require a re-download, yes, but I will provide the continuation save files so you certainly don't need to play through it again. I might do something like having a smaller file by not including the Audio files that already exist in the current version, and just let ya copy the ones from this one over.  :smile:


The new chapter's production will start soon; more info will be posted then.

great to hear about it ^_^ thank you very much.

 

[Blaredose]

I guess I'd try this out.. nothing better to do.

Edit:
What? No savefile.. way to go. Ah well, I'll play it whenever I'm bored later.

^Hm?

Eye candy time! Here's a recent fanart of the little scene from Chapter 7 (and intro too now) by Sakura Phoenix/Kieara Phoenix; I'm stunned! D: Many, many thanks to her!

(Something's amiss when fanarts are infinitely better than any pictures in the actual game! :p Again, much kudos to SakuraPhoenix[KiearaPhoenix].)

Beautiful.  The hair on Reiver really irritates me though, but I'm not quite sure why.

 

[Neverplayd]

Its probably the white outline that is surrounding it. It makes it look copy/pasted.
Very nice work, though.

 

[Blaredose]

I "played" it.

The whole game is nothing but cutscene and walking to the next cutscene. The few times I do actually go into "battle" its glitchy. The bear pushed me into a safe zone between a log and a tree and I just Q attacked him to death. Not only that, what's the purpose of saving in battle again? On top of all of the drama and overused wind effects *wooshes to the next word in the sentence* the game minus well just be a big cutscene. There is little to no interactivity, at all.

 

[Zammy]

Wow. That fan art is beautiful! My jaw dropped when I saw it.

@blaredose: I think you kind of missed the point of Quintessence. The "game" is intended to be heavy on story, so it's more like a movie, similar to Nadir's Canon (rmxp movie) But as Reives has said a few times, Quintessence isn't for everyone.
There are some people who prefer heavy gameplay, and some who like heavier story, like Quintessence.

 

[Reives]

Its probably the white outline that is surrounding it.

Ah yep, that's probably why. She has a full sized version though, and I think it has much less of that effect. I have yet to get a hold on it though, and but will link it when I do. :smile:
[ Oh, well she actually did post a tad bit of clip from it here: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n225 ... detail.png ]


@Blare:
C9 is basically game-playless (the little that's there are half assed as a template, even mentioning so at one point). It still puzzles me as to why you would start a game not from the beginning, but from chapter 9 upfront, heheh. Game play is intended to be inserted in the future, and if ya want a semi-preview, start from the beginning. c:

I got home for the weekend, and will post some info on the production of the next chapter in the next few days!

Thanks.

Regards,

Yes and maybe.

 

[Gray]

This looks so good, I don't want to play it. Weird I know, but I have to... bring.. myself to!

Must... Obey... wierd.. circle... O.o

 

[Despain]

*posts serious criticism that isn't blind praise*

*responds to criticism with a handwave and then posts gigantic image to override said criticism*

this game is absolutely flawless reives. best game on rmxp.org hands-down. no wonder you have so many fans. keep it up. you're doing nothing wrong!

 

[Despain]

*deletes post three times and rewrites it each time because it MUST BE PERFECT*

 

[Reives]

excuse me good sir, but are you telling me that I pay no mind to criticisms because I merely acknowledged a post containing a criticism that has been the basis of nearly every criticism I've received , instead of copy-pasting the same paragraphs of a more extensive and lengthy "ah yep ty" from previous responses (like your's)?

. . . just a week after I released a revamped version with remakes specifically addressing that particular criticism?

*Protip on criticisms from a maker's perspective: spend more time on actually fixing and addressing what the criticisms bring up, and less time writing contract-lengthed posts to respond to them (basically a "yes" or a "no"). Especially when there is nothing new.

^warning: when combined with all the other collectors' tips, may help one finish a game.
still trying to collect 'em all here, just a few more cereal boxes to go


P.S. I've a chronic disorder that causes me to rewrite posts thrice whenever symptoms occur. If you keep on making fun of me for it I'm going to call my big brother, and then he'll call his little brother and then the two of them are going to make a strawman and draw your face on it and then beat it up.
