For the sound puzzle, you have to think of the notes like the sound of an actual keyboard.
I thought about the notes internally and that helped. Also you could, A. record the sound on your phone and play it back that way, download a keyboard app and try to mimic the pattern, or just sing the notes out loud and memorize them.

the games has limeted to shops that suck and how ragna can talk to pandora we cant see it

rhb84- Note to self. Cross off "annoyingly difficult sound puzzle" from the checklist of my next rpg.

Bungholio- Thanks for the tip off about the chimera, bro. Being a completely unreasonable perfectionist, I'd want to write entirely new dialogue for Rozalin if I were to make her a permanent character, which would mean adding at least another 16 scenes to the game based on the player's party combination. In hindsight, I do wish there was a way to give Rozalin more screentime, since she's one of my favorite characters.

guillaume- Shops, weapons and armor are all crutches for weak heroes, so I made them intentionally bad. A real villain can claim victory using their own resources, and their own strength.

I almost forgot. Ragnarok can speak to anyone telepathically through their darkness, much in the same way Lumielle used to speak with humanity.

Owmeeye- Ha! Wow, you're really getting into the world, aren't you? I've spotted some more glitches thanks to your let's play, which I've already fixed for the next version. Thanks again for posting this awesome series.

Two more parts of the let's play today ^_^ Playing with slime and entering the Abyss.

Yeah, I've gotten quite into it, the game is very engaging. It's possibly the best rpg maker game I've every played, out of a 100 or so. And as for what I've seen so far, right now I feel out of all similar styled rpgs the only ones that I still feel are better are chrono trigger and golden sun, but your game is quite close behind. The writing in your game is quite phenomenal, but what really makes a masterpiece is all the little touches that most people miss in creation.

All the little details, like letting me skip walking when I finish a boss (and often I'm still asked about it), when I defeat the quest and then the book becomes my weapon. The puzzles which are just the right size, grinding which is done in a fun and engaging way, battles don't take too long or too short. Different locations on the map having hero's graves and memorials. All the little story elements which flow one from another in a logical way, a little girl who talks about her imaginary friend, but then you meet the boy who is not imaginary. The writing is excellent, the music really fits the scenes.

The maps are full of details yet they aren't needlessly spacious, but they aren't tiny either, it's all really well polished. It's done in nice, subtle way as well, the necromancers who gradually become insane and kill their friend, but then in the dungeon we have this ghost who is trying to posses pandora multiple times, it feels like it is that killed girl. We have these souls deteriorating but trying to hold on. We have nicely set up skills, like having a special skill which takes lots of TP but lets you freeze bosses for a short while. We have these really dramatic backstories and visions of the past. We have a party full of creatures which feel very unique and with unique skills, a wasp which is defensive, or a succubuss which has skills that only work on males. And then we get that really cute scene with pandora's and lanith's and bed stories. The flavor, the detail, damn, even stuff like having little ceiling lamps (?) in classrooms.

Or the fact that a nun from earlier revisits me and stops me on the way to the school to point me towards a side-quest, it's wonderful detail. For that matter, I have not yet felt lost at any point of the game, you do a wonderful job at leading me along the way, while still allowing me to roam around to a degree. Never felt lost, and the puzzles were never too long or to tedious so far, and that is not an easy thing to do.

I've been enjoying a lot about this game, and I've been enjoying this game loads. Probably the only thing that I'm missing in this game is some elaborate crafting systems which would let me use all those items that I'm gathering from monsters, because I really love crafting systems... I loved that about rune factory.

Haha, chrono trigger wins when it comes to writing/plot ;p but that's a pretty high bar there. Yes, I just compared to chrono trigger :D. And golden sun has worse writing than your game (but it scores points for stuff like, allowing me to use skill to read people's minds and hidden thoughts and doing all sorts of other fun stuff), more importantly it has better puzzles, golden sun had some damn good puzzles, if a bit on the tough side. Your game is really well written, and writing is always very important for my engagement. It may not be chrono trigger, but it is still an amazing game! Your dramatic writing is absolutely excellent, and excellently combined with music as well. What I'm saying is, your game is comparable to my two fav rpg's of all times! I think it's that's good. You went well beyond a "good" game. This depth of detail and effort is a rarity.

Hmm, the fact that the characters really are evil and tend to be massive assholes does tire a little over time, but it is at the same pretty refreshing to have and the excellent writing makes counteracts this. I do wish at times the game would give me more control and stop with all the "but thou must" from Ragnarok whenever I want to check some place out. But the excellent writing, again, counteracts this, as well as the enjoyment of playing with all the different summons and their different abilities. The amount of work and effort you put into this game is phenomenal! Also, it seems like your game is reaaaaaly long, no idea how long this game is, but, it seems like I'm still far away from the end (currently at the school of magic / tower with golems)

I will have yet to see how the story unfolds and where it will go to. As of right now I think I'm something like 25 hours into the game, and I only want to play even more.

ragnarok isevil because he born from bad fellings and why talon have not really personnality and is ragnarock ave a sof side and what is your impirason to create charac backstory why did you create senarios and is the etos sanctuary will be in sequel to whellman zero

this game was and without hesitation the most entertaining,fun,and exciting rpg maker game i have ever played so far which makes it also the best on my list, i couldn't believe you could jump with excitment while playing an rpg maker game but it seems i underestimated what people can do and especially you "wheelman", your game was a straight out masterpiece in my opinion and i can't wait to see what you will suprise us with in the future, i bet your next game will be the new first place holder on my list.you have my full support friend! keep going.

Hi! Just finished your game, and I wanted to say that it was extremely amazing. This just took the top spot as my favorite RPGMaker game ever, and that's no easy feat since I've played some really, really good ones. I'm already excited to play the sequel, and I'll certainly be giving the ultimate edition a shot.

I haven't scrolled through all of the other comments, but any chances that Lanith will return to play a major role in the sequel? I'm sure she'll be there, but I admit I'm going to dreadfully miss her if she's not playable. She was just one of those characters who really grew on me. (I couldn't stand her originally) So great job on doing that particular aspect really well!

I'm also one of those crazy people who managed to defeat Athena during the first round around level 28~ I managed this through good use of double infernal awakening and Sadistic Lash and being really, really careful with my healing. Really damn tough battle!

One final question. I've beaten the entire game, and yet I'm still missing the very last 4 scenarios/cutscenes you can view when activating the bed. Any chance I could get a hint/some help? I'm really stumped at the moment.

BUT IF THE HERO TEp temp to destroy what the acoythesw it nonsence besause the acolyth did noting we can change apcept the poison barrer than not logic and i taught joel wll fllw lumielle so he dont want kill acolythes and why marcus fellow ragnar if he feel bad about kill people and evil stuff and his goal is the samelle as lumielle wtf there will be how many boss question to wheelmanzero anser me by email

Ah yeah, I understand the concept about New Game +, I've dabbled in RPGMaker coding a bit before, and I can definitely see why it'd be a nightmare.

No healing spell for Pandora anymore huh? I can see how that'd change the whole dynamic since she was effectively my main healer. Without her doing that, I might finally have an excuse to use Demora! Yay. I loved her, but since Lanith was so devastating and I already had a healer, I couldn't justify taking Demora with me.

I look forward to seeing the difficulty changes made in the ultimate edition, for sure, and I'm glad to hear that you share the same concerns as I do over the sequel's storyline. It's good to be self-aware when it comes to these kind of things, it'll definitely help with the quality of the game and the writing.

Oh and I'm the type of person who usually keeps several backup saves. So no worries there! I learned the hard way.
