WHEELMANZERO'S PROFILE

Just a guy who loves rpg's. Thanks to some serious encouragement from several new friends and the community at large, I was able to complete one of my own. Game making is my favorite hobby, so you can expect more games on the way. Play on fellow gamers, play on!

Umbral Soul

Truth be told, grinding up enough that I can crush any foe is one of my favorite aspects of rpg's in general. I like to go above and beyond the level the game expects me to be at, and crush bosses with the sheer magnitude of my overleveledness. To illustrate, my squirtle was a wartortle before I left viridian forest in pokemon blue.

Ultimate Edition in Production

Yeah, it's a sound puzzle. I'll send you the solution right away.

Umbral Soul

It was 12:02pm for me, we must be in different time zones. It's possible to win that battle thanks to Pandora's blasted healing spell, but it wasn't mean to be. None of the dialogue changes if you actually do manage to win, though I heard it may cause a glitch if you do. I've modified that battle to make it more clear that you aren't meant to win in the next version.

Umbral Soul

Nah, that's built into the story. That battle's supposed to be unwinnable.

That would be "Battle- Armageddon" from the Rebel Rapture DLC music pack available on Steam. That pack has some jammin' tunes.

Umbral Soul

Fear not my friends, for I have solutions for all your problems.

guillaume- Someone brought up that glitch a while ago and it has been repaired fro the next version.

- While the golden ark was indeed the source of the constructs, destroying it will not destroy the constructs it already created. Both the ark and the angel must be defeated to drop the barrier. Plus, if the player found themselves too weak to defeat the final boss, they needed a way to grind up exp.

Abyssal Portal is supposed to be locked for the last segment of the game, but apparently gloom crystal healing removes the sealing state. This glitch has already been corrected fro the next version.

Nah, Sullivan Manor is a sequel exclusive location. It needed to exist in this game so I could use it later. I'm going to write a guide and include it in the next version so everyone knows how to start each sidequest.

Congrats of beating the game! Your bug reports have been absurdly useful and now the next version will be cleaner thanks to you and everyone else who has been kind enough to bring these issues to my attention.

Yygdra- There are a few more ways to get DP. I'll put them under this tag.

-Purchase the Dark Amulet from the item shop in Vallwin, then bring it to Marcus in the Ebony Cauldron.

-Proceeding through the story naturally will get you a lot of DP, particularly the main story quest in Lyria Village.

-Completing the questline started by Sister Claire in Lindale will get you an item you can trade for DP.

-Completing the questline started by the black haired woman in front of the inn in Arcfall will get you another high DP item.





Umbral Soul

Pfft, I wish. That would make my life a whole lot easier. I think I can remember all the cutscenes where the word tether shows up though. The next rpg maker they come out with should have a spellcheck function, that would be epic.

Umbral Soul

golbez- Thanks for yet another detailed bug report. To answer your questions:

-The ll' was indeed intentional.
-The cutscenes play out a little differently depending on who you talk to first, but the only way to get the combination is to either know it beforehand or to get it from Miranda.
-"Clapping" was the intended spelling for Trap Maw, as the flytrap is clapping closed, if that makes sense.

Kind of amazing that I poured over this game so much yet missed these errors. I guess a fresh set of eyes really makes a difference.

guillaume- Did the game actually crash or just give you a game over? Because a bug I've fixed for the next version gives you a game over if Pandora isn't alive after that battle.

Umbral Soul

golbez- Thanks bud!

guillaume- Damien's theme is "Celestial Spirit World Into Conflict" from Fairy Tail.
Reinhart's theme is "Drawcia Sorceress Remix" from Kirby Canvas Curse.

Both of them should be easy enough to find on youtube.

Umbral Soul Review

I'm sorry it took me so long to comment on this review, but I've been at a complete loss for words. The fact that you enjoyed the game to this extent is enough to make all the work it took to create it worth it. I can't thank you enough for this review, which has encouraged me even further to create more games with a higher degree of polish.

I don't want to set expectations too high, but I'm going to try to outdo myself in the sequel. I already have the story and characters set up, and there's a lot I want to do. Thank you synthesis, for giving me a sense of confidence in developing future games. I hope you'll be just as entertained by my future works as well!
