MALANDY'S PROFILE

Troper... Need to catch up on my Notices...

What is the creepiest and most disturbing game you have ever played?

I think it might be Yume Nikki, 'cause the sounds, and the loneliness, and the lack of direction... and also that I didn't know what I was doing...

The Cost of Repetition

For that project you're talking about... Could you have gotten enough loot and EXP, and stuff before you had to use your return item, that it recoups the time you spent and the amount of money that you lose when you use it?

But, yeah... 50% Gold Loss is a bit much... because it sort of makes the assumption of something like:

"I've used all my Revives, and Potions, and the loot I've got is worth 50% of my current gold and the money to pay for all those Revives and Potions and stuff... And it'll be noticeably easier getting here the next time."

That statement also assumes that all the items that you used can be gotten again, for some petty investment, or it might be more worth it to save-scum if you got screwed by the RNG...

Also, it depends on other things too. Like you said. If you're like... one step away from the exit, and you have to use the warp-y thing...

Vs. "I made it though 10%, and I know it's 10%, and it isn't that hard to get to 10% of the way though the level... And I learned what enemies are here, And I really should have known to pack that extra 10 potions..." then I'll accept it.

For 3D Land, since I haven't played it... How did you die? Was it from lack of planning, or random chance?

The feeling of frustration usually is worse, when you don't feel like you could have done any better the next time...

Super Battle Kiddo Experience!

Played though the demo in about... 7hrs? Now I'm hunting down things to fill my beastiary.

The only equip I've bought is the Norisle Axe for Vanuea 'cause she's got All-Hit.

Didn't really like the Alchemical Wing rewards, 'cause they're so cheap and useful that I bought all 99 of them when I was doing the Forest.

If you use the Wing on a map that has color changes and stuff, they stick when you return to the Inn. For example, Ruined Sea Tower to Newton Inn.

The side-quest scenes are interesting... If this game is ever fully finished, I wonder what they foreshadow...

If I hack my way to the Big Boat, what else is available?

Also some of those drops are edible, like the sausages... Why can't I eat them?

Lastly, why do Garters and Sahagin drop 1-2 Shed Scales instead of just 1?

No, wait... Why are there only 15 kiddos for a world with 5+ towns? I guess 'cause these 15 kiddos are protected by the power of Prophecy?

Oh, yeah, Aspen's stuttering would be easier to notice if it was like "I-I'm" instead of "I - I'm", but then again, I'm not up-to-date on the latest in stutter representation techniques.

Epic Monster Dungeon Explore! 2

Well, I just beat the DemonPrince with a Paladin and MagiMaster at LVL 9... Stun is so fun!

Haven't used a HealthPotion yet... Why'd you make it so I can't drop off loot at the town?

... Do all the Bosses at the same height from the Town have basically the same stats?

Also, why does the color of the game keep changing? I thought it was based on my heroes' condition, but it doesn't seem to correlate exactly...



Are the Flaman(s/ses/Whatever the pluralization is...) supposed to be immune to physical damage, or are they just great at dodging?

They're great at dodging...

Anyways, it seems the 1000 EXP should have sent me to LVL 11+, but only sent me to LVL 10... The inability of the extra EXP to contribute to levels further than the next one is not intended... is it?

Wasn't keeping track of the EXP to Next Level properly...

Random Loot is Rare and Random... I've only had it happen 2 twice in my ~1:20:00 run...

Read the Reviews, if you want hints...

Also, the Equip Drops are useful... Especially since I make bestiaries so I remember...

Huh... I see how you could beat this in 1:30:00 or so... Gonna keep my No Healing Item run, so gotta get more MagiSilKeys...

Making Pictures from Other Pictures, Legal?

Yeah, 'Frankenspriting' sounds right... I didn't know it was called that... sounds obvious though...

DF boost I was sleepy I meant DF b... b... b... another word with b and I'm still too sleepy to scroll up again but you know what I mean right

anyway, I'm absolutely enthralled by anything that envolves the tarot or the zodiac, and implementing it into a weapon customization system is just such an awesome idea ;A;


Oh... So that's what 'Arcana' is about! Now the numbers make more sense! Cards! I got the Queen, King, Jack, but I was wondering about the variability of the numbers...

Also, I didn't know that the picture was cut off...

... Wait... you're alpha/beta-ing this?

Lucky!

And isn't that sort of epilepsy-triggery?

Only now did I notice the UI color for almost all the screenshots were blue.
(it's actually selected randomly from blue, red, and yellow in game!)


Wait... do you mean the color changes when you make a new game, when you go to a different menu, or what?

oh, there's a typo there by the way
it should be "a" DF boost
slick nonetheless


What? I don't see any "DF Boost" anywhere in this picture...

Noise Waltz

Subscribed... This should be very interesting...

Hmm... What does it all mean?

"Where do we go, when there's nothing left? On the edge of extinction stands a brave society, of those who do not fear the dangers and terrors that lie outside in the never-ending solar eclipse."

Well, we know that it's post-apocalypse, somehow there is a permanent solar eclipse... The main quest may be to restart the solar/lunar cycles...


If that Test Dungeon screenshot is really non-indicative of the actual art-style, then their tech is a full unknown...

"C-Noise"

"Noise Waltz"

"Arcana"

I got nothing... Maybe a ref to The World Ends With You, or Senki Zesshou Symphogear...

Maybe you collect Noise like Puella Magica Madoka collects Grief or something...
