WHEELMANZERO'S PROFILE

I can't say whether Vivian and Duncan live or die, but I will say their fates are revealed in the sequel.

Nah, that transformation glitch can make you immortal if you use it right. The passives were something I threw in near the end to round out a few character's skill sets, since they seemed a little bare. I also ran out of animation slots (all 999 of them), so I was limited in terms of how many attacks I could make.

Believe it or not, the door in the monster kennel is going to be used in the sequel as well. In fact, there are very few things in Umbral Soul that don't have a purpose either in the game or in the sequel.

I have a lot planned for the lore of the story in the future. I was thinking of tying in my very first rpg maker story back when I bought my first rpg maker; rpg maker 3. It would be prequel that takes place long before even Jeremy was born, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. One game at a time, that's how it's done!

I didn't want to make Talon playable since I figured the main cast had enough characters in it, and having a human as a summon would be weird. Plus I'd have to add 4 additional possible scenes to each cutscene that changes depending on who's in your party. Noooooooo thank you!

Yeah, Marcus barely even qualifies a villain since he's constantly feeling guilt over his actions. In his eyes, the crimes he commits are for the greater good of generations to come. Even so, the things he does are still quite villainous, though he's more misguided than he is evil.

All of the characters (that didn't die) will be making a return in the sequel, including all of the characters you listed. Even seemingly minor characters like Nebra and the little old lady in Vallwin will make an appearance.

There's a glitch in the transformations so the characters don't actually die when their HP hits zero, but instead they revert to their original forms. That's one of the issues being revised for the ultimate version.

I was thinking of giving the Queen Hornet an evolution, but I couldn't find an appropriate enough image. You'd be surprised how few giant mutated monster bee images are out there.

Don't you worry, the secret of the locked doors in Rozalin's castle is another mystery that'll be solved in the sequel. I made sure to leave a lot of threads hanging so players would be eager to see things resolved in the next game. Azrielle's room will become accessible as well.

Ah, someone finally noticed the demon queen's coffin! I was wondering if anyone would catch that. That room was actually referencing another game I intend to make in the far future. It's going to cover the backstory of the demons, as well as the very first demon lord, formerly known as the demon queen.

Lumielle and Ragnarok are the only two actual gods in the game. The goddess of victory is more of a superstitious goddess, so no one actually believe she exists. It's kind of like when people refer to the earth as mother nature. Lilith on the other hand isn't actually a goddess, she's just really, really, REALLY hard to kill. Her soul isn't indestructible like Lumielle or Ragnarok's, but her ability to heal almost infinitely makes many demons revere her as a deity. Plus she's old as dirt.

Since there were so many playable characters in the game (about 20 excluding the evolutions), I didn't want to give any one character too big of a move pool. I wanted the player to experiment with a wide variety of characters that each had their specialties and weaknesses. I thought making any one character too well-rounded would discourage the player from using everyone.
