Comment regarding the Revnant
Perhaps just call it the Revenant outside the hidden part? 'Cause we're trying not to spoil it's identity?
I kinda already did that in the Character's tab on this page.

EDIT: If anything, I'm wondering if I should make it more apparent in the summary that Aeyr becomes a Revenant?

Oh.

... Trilyancia "Trill" d'Atorva... Hmm... Is that an Italiany name? What's the name inspirations for each of the different regions?

I'm gonna guess that the guy is the unknown guy is the one who teleports in after the Junsunia fight, whatever his name is.

And that the last unknown is a girl, right? ... Doomsayer... Reminds me generally, of various girls that precede the apocalypse...

No comments on the levelling stuff or Concentration?

Revenant

I guessed that all Revenants are like that, so they can't tell the difference between a Miasma-controlled Revenant and a self-willed Revenant. 'Cause hey, if you can make a friendly enemy to make it harder for your enemies to attack, why wouldn't you?

And Aeyr missed on that fact 'cause he wasn't paying attention during lessons.

Seems like more people are bothered by this than not, so I'll go back in and try to find a happy medium. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!


Hmm... 'Bothered' wouldn't be the word I'd use? It's just that argh brought it up, so we're discussing it, and Ell1e decided to offer some alternatives? ... Unless you got mailed about this too? *shrugs*

Red_Nova, should I post my notes so you don't get repeats? 'Cause I'm seeing repeats between argh's notes and my notes...
Please don't. Not only would that not be very effective at stopping people from posting their opinion if they want to, repeated points are actually very helpful for me. The wider range of people agreeing/disagreeing on specific points, the more likely it's truly an issue that needs to be addressed and less one person's opinion on a matter.

*nods* ... But what about the technical stuff? ... Well, some of that could be opiniony, and for this vers, argh got all of it?

-When Amalie reached level 17, her Psyche was highlighted green even though it didn't increase.

Oooh! Intriguing! ... Are stats not handled as integers?

EDIT:

Okay, if she levels up in the Hill, her Psyche increases to 21, but not if she levels up in Mia's Prologue Final Battle?

And Amalie's Psyche is 19 in Mia's Prologue, but 20 in Hill Zone during Aeyr's prologue? Then again, she's under a lot of stress and stuff. ... OH! Weary Soul! Prologue end is the only time we get to see Amalie's new Passives! *facepalm for self?*

... Nevermind, Weary's not new. ... But it might have been made worse?? The new one is Wounded.


Perhaps give saves to compare? ... Forgot to account for clothing, for some things...

***

Okay, I can't Concentrate even though I used it on the previous Turn.

Can Concentrate only be used if it's not already active? ... I carried over a Concentrate from the previous turn, and wasted it on a Crescent Kick, 'cause I stopped Concentrating after the Kick. Is that supposed to happen?

***

Hornet A and Unformed Sprout have switched names in the Leap Down Encounter.

***

OMG! OHKO for Hornet Swarm!

Concentrated Mia Lighting Burst!

Okay, so everything is limited to a 10-stack, not just First Aid Kits. Wish I knew that before? ... I remember you telling me that... But I can't find where??

Amalie is actually quite sensitive about her age for reasons explained later, so she deflected Aeyr's question.
Her deflection is general, though -- she says it's disrespectful to ask of "any woman". (That also makes it unclear if this is a personal thing and she's using a socially acceptable excuse as a deflection or if this is a ~women are so mysterious and unreasonable~ thing -- from prior experience with your storytelling I know that's probably not your intention, but far too many artists play that straight, so it could confuse newcomers.) That's what's weird to me; while it's true that asking someone's age is a personal question they may not want to answer, I don't see why women would be singled out for that in an egalitarian society. They're singled out for it in ours, but that's for specific reasons that don't seem to exist in this world. A more gender-neutral admonishment like "ungracious to ask of anyone" or "ungracious to ask of your superior/elder" seems more fitting, given what we know of the setting.

Whoops! Spoiled the Post-Hill Climb convo!

I sort of got that "this is a personal thing and she's using a socially acceptable excuse as a deflection", 'cause she doesn't know what children are! That implies things about Manna biology... Or possibly Manna families or something, like every Manna is born fully adult due to being connected to the Manna hivemind or something.


Also, even in an egali. society, men and women are different and held to different standards or something due to the bits of socialness that comes from differing biologies? ... How egali is Asala and Honneleth?

Guys... Does RMN have an Onlineness indicator?

I'm...really unsure of what you're saying! That's a lot of question marks.

I thought that Jimmy looked too old / too tall, then re-evaluated and decided that I was wrong.

I Miss the Sunrise Review

Wow. I think this review is... Something... Umm... Not bad. Pretty good really. ...

*Wants to see Deltree's response*

*Wonders if all these points in the review have been brought up already...*

author=argh
I want to live. And that means I can't support a narrative that tells me I should want to die.

Hmmmm... I want to say something about how every narrative is a valid story, but that just feels preachy and disconnected... ... I guess such a moral/message is implicit if you have a utopic afterlife, or some other metaphysics, where, well, death is better than life, for some reason. ...

Perhaps it's a trait of universes that are inherently cynical? ... I don't even know what I want to say here... *Sigh*

author=argh
The correct, canonical sequence of events is to you kill the evil nerd, break his machines, and pat yourself on the back for how you saved the universe.

...Except you didn't. The Big Crunch is still totally going to happen. Killing him and trashing his machines isn’t going to make that problem go away.

But... there's a sequel! Which means that life goes on! ... And there's magic, which reverses entropy by its very existence...

I love these "Let's get to know you" sections. The obvious amount of care and work you're putting into this game with the transformations alone is inspiring! :DDD

I stopped by the say that I really love these blogs, by the way. I like the whole "in character" writing approach. Looking forward to checking out this game!

Wait... So what happened to the toilet? Is it broken?

@Unity and Gredge: Thanks! I've got a few more of these to do (and one more Information Guy post I've been meaning to write up). After that, I want to do some blogs from Jimmy's family's perspective, but I'd like to start doing those after the demo's out so that they'll already be introduced.

@Malandy: I'm afraid Grumble Bear broke the passability on the toilet, so you can no longer walk on it.

I made the toilet passable so I could get this shot, teeheehee. If I leave it on, it looks weird when you walk over it.
