Quintessence - The Blighted Venom

[jaydenfox]

Back on track... Very good news indeed!

 

[Monkey_Salt]

This is the first game I've started playing again since being back, since it was one of my favorites before leaving.  All I have to say is the one thing I was upset with in the previous version of Part 1 and the game in general was the lack of control over your character, and I'd have to say you did a wonderful job so far of changing that. 

Well done Reives

@Zudo & Jayden:
Yeah, my apologies on the delay. However, as I promised, I am certainly trying to make it up a bit through some ways pre-Christmas. :smile:

@Monkey_Salt:
Thanks for stopping by again. Aye, the lack of interaction did need some fixing for what it's starting to lean toward, and there's still a lot to be done in that department - glad that what was began on it is qualified.

On a side note, my project "Do You Remember My Lullaby" is being released tomorrow (Sunday) - I ended up spending about as much effort on it as I do with a chapter of Quintessence, which really went out of my expectations. It would be much appreciated to give it a look when it is up on these boards, at least just to see what's been cutting into my time for Quintessence lately, heheh. Thanks in advance!

The following message is actually somewhat relevant to Quintessence:

Consider this a quick Christmas present to make up for the lack of keeping up with the promise of a new release by Christmas. :p

When posting updates, keep it to the thread that game is related to, ok? using the popularity of one game thread to bump another isn't great. ~Wyatt

Is it normal that I copied this game's soundtrack and put it on my iPod??

 

[Reives]

I don't know, but I'm flattered. c: Hope ya enjoy it. The ones on there are bad quality .oggs (quality set at 1/10 to keep size small), though - I am planning to make a mp3 compilations in the future.

I just find it so relaxing...

When I was taking my semester final, I listened to this song and got through the test like it was nothing...

 

[Reives]

o: Wow, which song?

o: Wow, which song?

The ending...  I can't think of it's name, but that's because I forget where I put my iPod, and I have all the songs stored on my old computer.

Ah, Drift. Many thanks to Laura (miss matcha)'s singing for that, it added a great touch. c':

Yea, it did...

 

[jaydenfox]

Yeah man, I love that song! She's a really good singer, whoever she is. I would know. I come from a family of singers (myself included)...

It is really relaxing. If I ever get an Ipod (probably not; I don't listen to too much... so unless it's an Itouch...), I'd definitely put Drift on.

Is she an online aquaintance, or person from school or what? Just curious.

 

[Reives]

She is miss matcha here actually! You can find her project here:

With music by her as well, beautiful stuff. c: A new demo was just released.

 

[Reives]

Merry Christmas everyone! (Almost there!) Hope you are all having a relaxing break.

Here's a little early present; it's a simple song called "A Christmas To Realize"! (Get it? Get it? Ge- *gets shot*)
Click me to listen!
(Technically it's "A Christmas 'Promise' " too. :p )

And in case you haven't came across this yet, here's a little something that was hidden in Lullaby's release:

To unlock it, simply change one of the generated .rxdata files (Wirt, Naeryns etc.) to Vikon or Salory - then run Lullaby's game file again. It's very short as I literally decided to do it on the last day, but hope it can be of some cheering up. c:

Hope ya enjoy the rest of your breaks! :smile: Quintessence will be back to normal production for Chapter X again, now that Lullaby's done.

 

[bubbaclark]

I love miss matcha's game. Anyways, I love quintessence and am so looking forward to your side project "Do You Remember My Lullaby". From the screenies, seems you put alot of effort into making graphics and your maps. Job well done.

Oh yah, your song is catchy hehe. Sounds like the Toy Factory theme from Ragnarok :/. Dunno if you ever heard it.

 

[Reives]

Thanks for checking it. c: And ah, I just youtubed that Toy Factory theme, sounds pretty catchy. A different genre though since there's a lot of electronic stuff going on in there, heheh.

Quintessence will be back on track of normal production soon - Going on a ski trip for 2 days from tomorrow so I'll be absent for the duration.

Edit:
Oh right, here's a video of the full play-through of the bonus Christmas-present game thingy:

Spoiler: little screenshots

See ya guys :~

 

[Reives]

Quintessence is finally up and running again, my apologies on the halt. Although still in the busy holiday seasons atm; it'll probably go faster once normal schedules resume. c:

In the mean time, here are a couple of preview screenshots:

[monkeydlu]

the second one looks so confusing it felt epic XD

lol, thats a interesting screen though.

 

[jaydenfox]

The first one looks normal, like one of the flashbacks and stuff.

The other one... Lunair looking at herself as a child, I think?

 

[Akirau]

Hmm, I think it could just be Lunair reminiscing about her past. Is it related to the new Chapter's title?

Edit: Nvm, the chapter is called sleeping angel.
Oh, wait, could it have to do with the whole incident from Chapter IX? They were in the beds, and maybe Lunair is still knocked out. Its probably just going to be a whole lot of scenes. [NOOoooooo!]
