GIZNADS'S PROFILE

author=AubreyTheBard
Ah. Yeah, I've been irked by that too. One thing which might work would be to make the skill inflict a status condition on self, and use that condition as a flag. I think I tried this before myself and it didn't work out for me, but it might be okay for your case because it won't need to have any real effect until the turn after it's used. I think you'll need to make sure that the monster group event page that checks for this has only "low-priority" triggers, as I describe here, otherwise the page will run before the skill actually completes and inflicts the status you'd be checking for. I'd recommend triggering by a switch that's just always on.

Hey Giznads. Love the ambience, but just gotta say, those footprint SEs are overly loud and distracting, in my opinion. I'd make them a bit subtler. The indoor maps in Skuud City have a great moody ambience. I'd tone down the music a little when you're going inside, to make it sound like it's happening muffled and being blasted outside. That's just my opinion, I think it'll increase the immersion. Cool project.

Giznads Summoner of Sounds Assault Action (Giznads)

Very jungley, I like it. Cool percussion and some interesting computery sounding bits coming through.
Kinda getting a tick-tocky clocky vibe now, this is cool. Very nice composition.
Sounds almost too happy to be an assault action theme though. :P
It kind of tapers off after a while without doing anything new, which is slightly disappointing. From the beginning I was expecting it to explode into something epic.

The one track that I can easily imagine as a video game BGM because of how it's not too 'in your face', despite being fairly complex and detailed. Love the catchiness, the ambience in the first half and the hard rock vibe in the second. An epic song, love it. Kinda wish it had a name though, you know?

I really like how you managed to build up and keep the tension. Especially the part around 1:20 manages to get you into a "fighting mood" because of the aggressive E-Guitar and Drums.
The drums at the very beginning of the piece really set up the atmosphere of a battle field. I actually started imagining a wide field with dead soldiers everywhere when I heard it.

The unfortunate thing was in my opinion that the piece didn't give any hints that the war which is fought on this field is highly technologized. This could be used in most war games, no matter what time it is from. Synth instruments are a good way of establishing this atmosphere of technology. There were some used but the instruments which dominated this piece were natural drums, choir, an electric bass and an E-Guitar.
I also think that if this piece would be used in a video game for an "action scenario" then leading back to the quite part is maybe not such a good idea because the tension drops a lot. I don't think that anything speaks against a calm intro (that depends on the exact way this scene is played of course) but having a looping main part in which the tension is mostly on a consistently high level would be better in my opinion.
