Pale Echoes

The new commercial version of Pale Echoes is coming to Steam next month!

I'm sincerely grateful to everyone who gave their time and attention to this project over the last year. I couldn't have made it here without your feedback and support. Thank you. ^_^

Hi Raemyi,

This game is very good. I enjoyed the puzzle-like gameplay more than I enjoyed the gameplay in the winner, Remnants of Isolation. I felt that, because the memories had to be sacrificed to progress, it created strategy on more than one level.

Did you at least place? I feel that this game should have placed.

Sincerely,
Zack

Thank you very much for saying!

The game pretty much flew under the radar altogether, and, though it turned out that it had scored reasonably well, it lost a few points for a last-minute bug or two, and did not place.

So far as I knew at the time, nobody even realized that it existed... until, like 3 months later, I got an offer in the mail to go commercial with it! It's been a rather strange journey, to say the least. XD

Hi, I ran into this bug also, but I'm really curious as to what happens when
you open the door at the end of the game. Since I can't get through to the end I'll never know. :(


Answer:
The cat turns into a dragon and you fight it. In the original contest version, that's it - it's a secret boss with no story or reward involved. Just a big dragon that you fight, albeit distinguished by being the only boss you can fight with all 40 memories at once.

In the commercial version, that's how you unlock the 'secret ending', so to speak. But, again, rushed project originally. XD

I need help with the Bechonong Eco . How to beat it ?


To beat the Beckoning Echo, avoid attacking it on the first turn (because it counterattacks), then wipe it out on the second when it changes color. If you're having trouble dealing enough damage in one turn, try spending the first turn enhancing Schorl's attack power with an Intuition memory link, or make certain to use plenty of Multi attacks, which excel against single targets.

Thanks for the bug report, Kattriella!

Moral of the Story: Don't put off testing your game until the last day of a deadline. My apologies for that, I probably shouldn't have tried to squeeze Plus Mode into the contest version at the last minute! XD

At this point, the game's already been pretty heavily overhauled for the commercial release, so I can't really go back and fix up the original version. Again, I'm really sorry you ran into a bug. Thank you for playing, though, and I'm glad you had fun with it! <3

Um, now that the contest is (way) over I just want to say that this was one of my favourite games to come from it. And I am writing a review for it using the notes I took during judging.


Thank you very much for the review, and I'm quite glad you enjoyed the game so much!

This is as good a time to say this as any, so I'm pleased to make it known that the game has been picked up for a potential commercial release, and is now in the process of receiving the appropriate amount (a lot) of polishing. I'll post info on that as the time draws near, so please look forward to it. ^_^

I realized that I didn't link this download location for the contest, so I've patched up at least the most glaring issue a bit early. Expect more substantial updates to come much later. ^_^

Pale Echoes Review

Thank you so much for the review, Nhubi! Given how hard it was just to get the game all put together within the time limit, I'm going to take it as "glowing". XD

You make a lot of good points. Visual feedback for stances in battle, especially, was something I really wanted to add to the game, myself. Once IGMC 2014 is all wrapped up, I'll be sure to polish the game up and resubmit a more "complete" version, with your feedback taken to heart. Thanks again for taking the time to play! ^_^

That's... strange. @_@ I just loaded up the game myself and tested it out, but Silent works perfectly fine. I triple-checked all of her events, too, and I can't replicate the problem. I'm sorry, problems like this should never have made it into other peoples' hands. :(

Pale Echoes

Thank you for letting me know about that, and I'm so sorry I didn't find it earlier. I don't know how such a easy bug got past me! I hope it doesn't totally ruin the game for you. T_T

Well darn, and here I thought the debugging was one aspect I'd totally nailed on this project. ~_~
