NEOK'S PROFILE

howdidyouevenfindthis

Hey, thanks man! I don't know if I've said this somewhere, but I am slowly putting together another game using these systems, that'll be longer and more indepth. I haven't thought about the story in a pretty long time, so can't say where I was going with it anymore. On the mist question, just rooms visited. Falling in battle indirectly penalizes you that way, since you start back at the central terminal again. Mostly though, these days I'm trying not to "punish" the player for losing (like game over, reload save file, that sort of thing)

How in the world I missed this one? Gonna download it next day, 'cause I'm too wasted now.

so it's more for the atmosphere and story (which takes a really solemn serious turn).

So what? I play most games for the story, but having some gameplay there won't hurt. Recently I finished two Kojima's hidden gems - Snatcher and Policenauts, and while both have little actual gameplay and linear plot (no branching storylines you'd expect in most VNs), these games were worth my time - because of the story. So will Sainth, I assume.

Yeah, I'm quoting a comment from 2011, duh. What the hell, I had to.

eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh it's an okay story i guess. probably better to play it while wasted.

Woot congrats!

Actually, it probably has a lot less to do with being faithful to the original, and more to do with doing what they know works. They've been pushing out games with the Kingdom Hearts style of combat for a while now, and I assume have gotten positive results for it, so it's clear that's what they want to do now. As a company, it doesn't make sense for them to go back to turn based, when a majority of the staff is now trained for third person action gameplay. Sucks for people who just want the original game updated, but it's hardly unexpected.

Now Barret with sunglasses. THAT'S sinful.

Wearing sunglasses everywhere is Rude's shtick. Why they gotta front on his turf?
