I just sent in a bugfixed download for Elfquest. I'll post a blog when it's up.

I did, but he didn't really do anything. I don't know what to do in that game, there is a bug that keeps on repeating a cutscene all the time. I think I might end up cancelling it because Lib isn't responding to the problems on the video. I just did a few videos of "Eternal Paradise" but it was cancelled after four videos because there is a game breaking boss. You'll see afterwards.

It looks like I'll be playing Pokemon Hunter and Skie's game next.

A game braking boss? You're referring to the "Chimera II" boss battle, aren't you? I know he's fairly hard, but I wouldn't call him game-breaking =O

In fact, casting Berserk (and Blind) on him will pretty much negate whatever he can throw a you!

But oh well, such is life.

Small update.
As I said in my comments on Youtube, you're spot-on regarding my inability to be concise and straight to the point. I've been trying to hone that skill for a while now, but I'm still a long way away from actually making significant progress. I will definitely be trying harder in future games (if there are any!), as you're far from being the first person to bring this point up to me!

The boss you fought is definitely not game-breaking however. Difficult? Very. Probably more than he needs to be for such an early boss. But once you make it passed the first turn, things become much easier. Just do not forget that EVERY boss and enemy is weak to some type of status, and it usually relates back to what they specialize in or are capable of. Passed Chimera II, I'm going to say that the game is balanced as good as I could ever hope to get it. I've even got quite a bit of praise for that portion of the game, actually!

Small piece of advice: Try not to focus on buying items, but instead gear your money towards skills and armor/accessories+weapons.

I hope that you're able to continue! But if not, then that's okay.




Oh... and you have Catmitts as the game creator under the banner. I am not Catmitts!

I tried re-uploading the demo of the Secret of Ludia, I hope it works for you.

I'm curious as to how you'll respond to The Encephalon...feel like doing it next? I'll go fix a minor glitch and get it re-uploaded tonight.
It seems to me like Ephiam tried too hard to give his characters personality, so they come off as annoying.

In any case, a few small words of advice.

1 - It sounds like you're a bit too close to the mic, try standing a bit farther. Depending on what type of mic you use, there is a specific place and way to hold it to get the best sound quality.

2 - Try to keep things more concise, think your words through a bit more and try not to hesitate. Think about playing the game first and then doing a voice track over it; that way if you screw up - you can just do a re-take.

Hey, thanks for the advice. I was thinking about it - but I'd rather just do it all live since the point of the LTs is to give developers first impression responses. Even at my own price and perhaps sounding like a complete full. >_< I think sometimes after the end of some videos, I get really tired and I mess up on closing, but whatever. Yeah, I'll figure out which distance I should be from the mic. I have one of those standing ones. I wish I had a headset, but those are quite pricey and I think the one I have right now does the job fairly well.

I got a solid Logiteach headset for less than twenty bucks at Wal*Mart. It's worked really well, so far. I still prefer earbuds for regular listening, but for the sake of LTs I like it a lot.

Well, its a shame that you didn't watch it since in the video I said it was requested by Calunio. I don't select which games I play.

- - -

I ordered my mic on NewEgg, I think it is okay, but I have to go in Virtual Dub to up the volume on it. I think the last videos, i increased it to %300 percent so that might be why it seems so loud.
The point of LTs is giving feedback, and I suggested SL:RG not only because it's a cool game, but because it's a demo, so there's more room for changing. The good thing about watching an LT of someone playing it instead of just getting a list of comments is that you get to see real-time reactions to stuff you made. Sometimes an "oh shit" is more informative and meaningful than saying "battle X was too hard".

I think it's really really weird that you don't want to devote time on watching someone playing your game and giving feedback. But whatever, I'm sorry for the request YDS, I would never expect such reaction from F-G.
