Death Wave (Progress Update)

In ancient texts, there once existed a rumor detailing the notion that all living entities and souls were part of the very force that brought the cosmos into existence. It follows that if Void is the power that spawned the universe, it's plausible to surmise that all mortal souls will return to the Void upon their passing. - REDACTED

The notion of VR is an interesting one, we've always wondered what it would be like to have a fully immersive metaverse, where all our senses can dive and experience virtual reality. But in reality, virtual reality is just data, and our mind is interfacing with data. Now ponder this, if we are able to digitize our consciousness to dip into the virtual reality, what's stopping us from doing the reverse? What's stopping us from having the information of the world, right here, in our mind? - Ravier Connor

Hi, and welcome to, at this point, a once in a year kind of update. I've made quite a number of progress lately, mostly in the side quests of things, because I realized they need to be pretty much completed before the story can potentially move forward. Since they do not directly spoil the story, I'm more than happy to share my progress on this area. I've also had a bit more time now that my schedule has stabilized, and able to work on the game more consistently.

New Side Story Quests!

The side quests are a trio that can be done in parallel with each other which converges to a finale in Death Wave. The following are the premise for the quests. They are also required to be completed to unlock the post game.

Treant Premise:



During the party's adventures, they will encounter a wildlife scientist residing at Viscaria City who talks about how wildlife has mysteriously disappeared from Quince Forest, and tasks the party with figuring out the cause of this phenomenon. Damien is reminded about the passing remark Isabel made a while back about the rumor of a ‘living walking’ tree that was spotted by a couple of anonymous users on @*Channel. Most have dismissed it as a hoax, but the wildlife scientist claims it isn't. What is causing the wildlife to disappear in Quince Forest?

Angel Fall Premise:

A mysterious drug epidemic has secretly been making its rounds in the country, and the head doctor for Cliva's public health ministry: Dr Hope has tasked the party with identifying and eliminating the root cause of the drug epidemic with Vexed being the primary suspect. Given their alleged law abiding nature, it is unclear if they have a hand in it, and if they do, what could be their purpose, aside from making money?

Death Wave Premise:



During the party's visit to Quince town, they stumbled upon their acquaintance Rinne Scion, the detective they assisted with in solving the murder case and Athena's disappearance together with Dr Louise de la Vallière (eerily similar to a certain historical figure), the Chief Scientist of GMO research for Super Wheat cultivation. Here, the party finds out about a mysterious ailment that has gripped Quince Town, the town where the country's famous ‘Super wheat’ are cultivated.

In their attempts to figure what was causing the mysterious ailment, they stumbled upon an old nuclear reactor plant known as ‘Omega One’ as described by a witness who saw movements in and out of the supposed incomplete nuclear plant. In there, they stumbled upon a ‘living weapon’, a calamity capable of leveling cities…

New areas!

Quince Town:



The town where Death Wave quest takes place: Quince Town. Famous for being the only agricultural-focused town, it produces 'Super wheat', a food touted by Cliva to solve world hunger owing to its locational adaptability with minimal water requirements and short cultivation time. Though many scientists have raised concerns about its genetic homogeneity, Cliva says the tradeoffs are worth it...

Omega One Nuclear Power Plant:



Another new area, Omega One is a nuclear reactor plant that was never completed. It is also part of the Death Wave quest. It is home to many irradiated wildlife, and certain drops can only be found in this area.

Viscaria Sewer Level:



Sewer levels. Yes, some more sewer levels have been added and one notable location is the Viscaria Sewers where it can be accessed directly from Viscaria Entertainment District.

That's all from me for now, there are other things in progress, and new areas to explore - like Meridome Point, which I didn't include here, as it's part of the story and still being fleshed out. I know updates are sparse and few and far between, but I'm still working on it, even if ever so slowly...

If you've read to the end, thank you for taking the time to read through it, I really do appreciate it! Hope you have a great day!

Hello, the same error that I'd encountered in Revert (the one that was fixed) has occured again. It's the same "External Achievement" error.

I've uploaded a separate version called '-EXT'. Check the download section for it.
For now, achievements haven't been added to Rewrite, so there is no need to migrate your achievements over.

However, if you wish to, you can, provided you make a copy first to prevent issues.
Simply copy over both folders 'Black Galax Revert' and 'MyRMGames' from Revert to Rewrite's folder.

I plan to eventually migrate over the achievement folder to the local folders so it can avoid the 'unable to write' issue.

Okay, I've started playing the game (basically contunuing from where we left off in Revert) and being enjoying it so far. However going to some places triggers certain events which are not supposed to happen yet. I believe those will be sorted out in a future release though.
Just curious, but which events were triggered? Was it after Chapter 7.5 or before?

Well, when I returned to Ravier's office right after the intro, he was not there and after a cutscene I was prompted to enter his archive. Also when I left the mansion and entered Pavilion Square, I encountered Reynald and after a long cutscene, it jumped right at Chapter 10. I had completed Chapter 7.5 in Revert and imported the save file to Rewrite's folder.
Hmm... I found the problem for the first archive event triggering. But Reynard's cutscene shouldn't be happening. Should probably do some investigating...
Thanks for the find!
Hello, I just play your game and its good.
But I got stuck in the cursed academy. How can I get the 7th and 8th shattered shard? I know one of them must've been in the library but I don't know how to open the chest

You get the last two parts from the Library. The Chest can only be opened once you solve which books to remove from the respective bookcase. The locations of all the bookcases that you need to remove can be found around the 3 floors.

If you make a mistake, you will need to reset the puzzle. Interact with the glowing book to reset the puzzle and try again.

I only got 3 hints for the bookcase (5th, 10th, and 14th), I don't know where I can get the 4th hint
I'm also stuck at the library part where I'm supposed to "Pull out all the books from multiples of 4 bookshelves". Am I supposed to pull the books from 4th, 8th and 12th bookshelves or something? Doing that did nothing however. I found 5 shards btw.

The cafeteria.

Both are correct. The bookcases are: 4,5,8,10,12,14th.
Maybe a better hint in terms of how many books you need to take out would make it more clear.
Want to ask. Is the scene where we go back to ravier's room is the next chapter or chapter 8 part 2?
Okay, I've just finished the demo and took me quite long actually. Can't wait for the full version now. But according to the message in the end, the progress made in the demo will 'not' be carried over to the full version. Does this mean we'll have to go through Chapter 8 again? Or will importing the last save file work?

Nope, it's chapter 9 because I messed up XD

Yeah, unfortunately, you'll need to go through chapter 8 again since it might invite unexpected bugs. So just to be safe, it's better to restart.
Then qhen this game complete, can we transfer our save file from BG: Revert like the demo?

It'll be a while before it's completed. It's not recommended to use the current save file you've finished and replay the chapter once it's finished. As some things might change that will mess up your current save.
Nope. Not completed yet. Still has ways to go.
Hey Raze! I just finished a third playthrough of Revert(second time finishing Chapter 7 and first time Chapter 7.5). I am confused as to what's the difference between the two versions uploaded in the downloads section. I believe I have downloaded the upper one.


(Also expect a review from me for Revert!
