MIRACLE'S PROFILE

This is a pretty neat title screen, but why did you include the character sprites? The resolutions clash pretty badly, and the foreground is obviously supposed to be a mountain range. kind of like 'Clash of the Low-Res Titans' haha xD

It's still really pretty, I love the pirate ship and the logo is simple/nice. :D

In regards to the composers bit, while I wish the same to happen for home consoles, we can at least settle for Eternal Sonata. They were able to make one of the Music World's most emotional--as in childish-- musician-composers as some sort of heroic deliverer of theological justice (what was up with the credits to that game?). I await still the sequel to ES, in which Chopin's buddy, Franz Liszt, takes hold as the main character, progressing through his inner demons of lust and power to that of redemption for his vile acts. (I'm waiting Tri-crescendo!)

I read about Eternal Sonata a little while back, unfortunately I don't have a PS3 (which I'm really sad about btw, Chopin is my absolute all-time favorite composer.) I think I have an X-box though so I'm going to try and buy it later. I never heard about a sequel, but I love Liszt too so hopefully it'll make it out soon :D Thanks

In regards to classical music as soundtrack...oh ho ho, It is for that reason I wish to show the great masses the splendor of Classical music as a function of exciting and riveting background tracks, readily causing the emotions of the players to escalates to heights of great grandeur. ;) ( Yes, I have a great deal of ideas for a lot of Classical music for boss themes and the like).

You know Chopin's Heroique Polonaise? :D Here it is, played by Valentina Igoshina (my idol.) I always thought that section between 2:33 and 3:42 would make a great battle theme for faster-paced games (the six glissandos could be sort of like an intro/transition, like they have in pokemon) I learned how to play the whole thing, I just wish I had a better recording device so I could make my own tracks :< Also there are some sections of the 1st movement in the Pathetique Sonata that would be great too :0

I always feel like I shouldn't use stuff like Chopin in my games because it's too good to be simply 'background music', and I don't know how well it would work to try and coordinate gameplay with the tracks... I dunno!

What are some songs you think would be good for battle/boss music?

Classical music is friggin' awesome, but I'm not very knowledgeable on it..

Neither am I, haha! just listen to stuff you like, and people will just automatically assume you're classier than everybody else :p (a complete lie)

must complete... before... Liberty strangles me D:


omg Caz you watch Frasier and Dr. Who? I love those shows :D

Thank you very much for the review! I'm glad you had an overall positive experience with the game, and I really appreciate the faceset resources you contributed.

Hey it's no problem :)

I know that encountering an enemy immediately after going through a door could cause some black screen issues in the past, but the map one is new for me.

Really? that's odd because it happened literally every time I used the map. It was nothing gamebreaking, just thought I would bring it up :D

I should have no problem sticking a mini-map in there. The top section will just show the keycards for the current area/floor instead of the whole complex. That should give me the extra pictures I need for the map function.

I'm so glad! Now the game is perfect. haha

I am concerned about some of the performance issues. I haven't been able to replicate the problem of some wall surfaces not showing up. I figured there wouldn't be too many issues, since I'm developing the game on an old 3.2 ghz pc with an antique 5 series Nvidia graphics card.

I'm not 100% sure about my graphics card but I always played in 320x240. I shudder to think what it would've been like in full-screen O-o

One last thing. The math behind the exp bonus is based on a score for the relative difficulty of the encounter. The "bank" option was supposed to allow players to stock up multipliers by earning bonuses in multiple battles in a row, which would let them gain a LOT of exp. However, running from a fight or losing a summon would set the bank back to zero, so it was kind of like gambling. I found an error I'd made that caused the stored bonus variable to reset under the wrong conditions. I'm going to do some retooling of that section before my next release.

That's a great idea! So like, banking a bonus would give you a credit, so would the HP/MP restoration be multiplied too? it'd be cool if the bonuses would be upgraded by banking a lot, like you could fully heal your party after banking, say, five bonuses. Or you could give temporary buffs to your party, like being able to absorb/capture demons earlier, or increasing the Sek that you gain after battle.

One other thing I want to add... could you add descriptions to equipment? I know you removed the 'Equipment' option from the menu because demons can't equip, but while the Rusty Knife was pretty self-explanatory, I had absolutely no idea what the Familiar Bracelet was supposed to do o-o Now that I think about it, were those 2 of the 4 hidden items you mentioned?

Is it okay if I ask a couple of questions? I was kind of wondering about these while playing :

• How are energy points gained? It sort of seems like I never ran out.
• How does this game determine how many demons you can capture? Is it Lucas' level?
• I was walking down the corridor with Slimes and the gameframe turned yellow, then back to white when I exited. What does that mean?
• Will absorbing a demon replenish my HP if my MP is full?
• Both the female spirit and K. Mikami's E-Mail mention an 'Aiko', will we find out who he is? (My first thought was that he's a puppy, for some reason. Must be because of Fenris :\)
• Can I make a demon? :D Its name is 'Glass Corpse'. I noticed that you had fire, wind, thunder and earth spells yet no ice spells, so maybe it can fill the void. xD

Being glass, it should probably be fragile (low DEF). You don't have to use it, I just thought I'd throw it out there :)

I'll take Breach: Awakening please :)
