"Where were you when the universe ended?"

I Miss the Sunrise is an all-new prequel to 2009's The Reconstruction. Featuring strategic battles, player-created weapons, and unique gameplay around every turn, I Miss the Sunrise is an RPG experience like no other. The full game is available as of July 22nd, 2012.

Version 1.51 released August 12th, 2012.

FEATURES
-No typical HP & MP drudgery. Instead, all battlers have Hull, Systems, and Pilot ratings that serve as both health and fuel for weapons. Reducing any of them to 0 means defeat, so spacefarers beware!
-Create your own pilot. Give 'em a name, then choose your gender, race, and customized personality, all of which determine how you interact with other denizens of the universe.
-Get to know your allies better through dialog interaction and performance in battle. But be careful: some allies may be less receptive to your chosen personality.
-Assemble your own weapons. Use salvaged components to customize and outfit your own weapons, name them whatever you want, and use their blueprint codes to share your creations with other players!
-Fast-paced, strategic turn-based battles reward careful positioning and targeting over brute force. Exploit your enemies' vulnerabilities while covering your own!
-Random exploration maps let you take part in battles and exploration any time you please.
-Customizeable AI lets you determine just how ruthless the enemy can be.

Out with the Old

Happy Nauruan Independence Day, everybody!

For anyone still watching, I've expunged my old site in order to concentrate on my new one (Sungazer Software) full time. Plus, I had a lot of insane rambling from 2009 or so that I didn't want hanging around, so it had to go.

If there were any posts you absolutely cannot live without, or if you object loudly enough, then I could be goaded into having a "greatest hits" archive left intact somewhere. Swayed, even. Until then, though, consider any links to Tilde-One.com to be defunct. (Actually they'll just redirect to the new front page.)

Good night, and keep watching the skis! Uh, skies.

Playing game, love it. Fortunate enough to have discovered it hours after it was completed.

Having trouble with the bounty The Collector. At a loss. Could you be so kind as to give some hint?
By the way, just encountered a weird bug: I investigated a node in splice i, and the node just turned blue, no additional message, not even "nothing of interest at this location". (It was one of the nodes in the upper-left section, if that helps?)

(Speaking of splice i, would it be possible to disable fragments after you get them all? It's even more annoying than in regular splices, since it's always the exact same one.)

Find an unbroken path that goes from the left side to the right, and light up all the things on that path so they're green.

If you need another hint:

It's the path that starts on the second one on the left and ends up on the second on the right, but not necessarily a straight line!


I probably should have included a freebie solve like with the Lights-Out room, but you could probably brute force it eventually.

Guhh, I don't understand this at all. -.-
Hm. I guess I'm just really unlucky then. How many random missions did you do, Zadok? I finished it during ep 2 on my first playthrough as well, but only because I did like a bazillion random missions because I have no life.

I suppose it could be mostly random variance, so that some players complete it (much) earlier than others...though to be honest, chance-based balance is not the best design philosophy... Maybe if Scrap Carboderm was somehow "special", so you were guaranteed to get it at some points...? I have no idea how that would work though.

Also, once I finish Chapter 5, I will finish and post my review.


I wonder if I should write a review...I only wrote one for The Reconstruction because no one else had, though. This game seems far more popular, so it seems less necessary. Also, I believe I've already gushed about or critiqued mostly everything, so I doubt I would say many new things of worth.

Personally, I LOVE scarcity of some things in these type of games. It makes it that much more rewarding when you find it. Also, once I finish Chapter 5, I will finish and post my review.

I would say that it's probably a good idea to make it either but not both, as excluding both makes it impossible to upgrade without obtaining any optional characters.

Also, unlike everyone else, Rami's final scene does not give a PT bonus.

Edit: Oh, by the way, does anyone else here think that Soran asks for too much Carboderm? I just barely completed the second step at the start of ep 4. And there are two more steps after that, right? I think it's impossible to complete the quest without obscene amounts of grinding, especially since items are so random.

I actually finished Soran's Carboderm quest during episode 2. Sure it was a grindfest, but maybe I got a bit lucky? However, I think Deltree fixed the issue of Scrap Carboderm being too rare, because from Episode 3 and onward (I'm on 4 now), it's easy to find and I have more than enough to spare.

Early on, I'd have better luck finding Scrap Carboderm in the lower Splices, because they didn't have much else to find.

I want to say it does not include either himself or the player character. Maybe both!
By the way, a bug: I have exactly 8 allies, but Daszk's first weapon upgrade won't trigger. Unless the 8 allies doesn't include him?

can't make a bad game if you don't finish any games

This was the best possible timing for an RMN visit. Getting now!

Is there any reason to keep Lagarto around after Episode 2? I feel like there might be more to his story.

I actually think incomplete games have been featured. Nevertheless, I sincerely hope it does.
Yes, incomplete games cannot be featured, I believe...but it'll be finished by August, so maybe then! :D
