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

Well that would actually be a little tricky due to the nature of the content. Don't worry though, a fair chunk of the content will be available directly after the new game screen.

I did a scan with AVG before and after uploading the project, and everything comes back green. For some reason certain anti-viruses seem to mistake the exe as a virus, but I assure you it's safe.

That's some much appreciated feedback demonlord, I'll hide my answer to avoid spoilerocity.

1. The player will get to meet the dark fairy queen and fully explore the fairy village in the next game. Like Sullivan Manor, the village was one of the locations I wanted to keep "fresh" for the sequel, so I limited a lot of its accessibility.

2. That story was left as a cliffhanger for the sequel as well. You'll learn exactly who she is as well as the fate of her victim.

3. Yeah, that character was more of a secret summon. She doesn't have much of a story on her own as its intertwined with those of her sisters. I'm going to add a spoiler-free walkthrough to the next version so people know to talk to her twice.


The 5th party member is a little quirky in that if you don't use him in combination with the right characters, he can be a bit underwhelming. He has the potential to be an extremely high damage dealer, but you need to dedicate another character to keeping his HP up. I wanted each character to have their own unique feel and strategy behind them.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts demonlord,I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Ohhhh, see that's not the shack it's talking about. The shack it's referring to is actually the same one you started the game in, the one in Palnea Woods. If you look at your quest journal, it should mention the shack is in Palnea Woods.

If you wouldn't mind, could you hide that comment in a tab? It's got a pretty huge spoiler in it.

guollaume- Consider yourself on the list then. At this rate, I'm going to have more testers than people who actually play the game for the first time!

golbez- Yeah, it's supposed to be Gefforey. I'll double check and make sure I spelled in consistently. And wow, you're moving through the game pretty fast, I'm impressed. And everyone loves conjunction junction, even me.

I might just end up including a walkthrough document in the next version that tells the player where to initiate each sidequest.

Heh heh, yeah, this was my first game release ever, so I've learned quite a bit about the do's and don't's of releasing a game. The game's perfectly beatable in its current state, but those bugs still bug me (yes, the pun was intended).

There's already a plethora of good folks here who have offered to test the sequel for me, so hopefully that should make for a much cleaner release. Thanks, Nova!

Damn golbez, you going deep with the notes. If you want to play my game, let me know. I´m always looking for good testers.
BACK OFF! I SAW HIM FIRST! *ahem* I mean...yeah, you should definitely play lianderson's game, it's very good. Thank you again for your highly detailed notes.

As a side note, I never could really get into schoolhouse rock. It was that talking bill that was responsible, it just seemed shady to me.
Click it if you dare.

Boy: Woof! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?

I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.

Bill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, "You're right, there oughta be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.

I'm just a bill
Yes I'm only a bill,
And I got as far as Capitol Hill.
Well, now I'm stuck in committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few key Congressmen discuss and debate
Whether they should let me be a law.
How I hope and pray that they will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?

Bill: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favourably, otherwise I may die.

Boy: Die?

Bill: Yeah, die in committee. Oooh, but it looks like I'm gonna live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me.

Boy: If they vote yes, what happens?

Bill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.

Boy: Oh no!

Bill: Oh yes!

I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
Well, then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs me, then I'll be a law.
How I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no?

Bill: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old...

Boy: By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?

Bill: No!

But how I hope and I pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Congressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!

Bill: Oh yes!!!


I've changed my mind, I hate you now golbez. Just kidding! I only hate you a little bit.

Thanks g0lbez. If you try to enter the Dark Altar, Ragnarok will stop you, so the magic circle is the only way to the top.

I'll have you know that wonton slaughter is the most delicious kind of slaughter there is. That teacher won't actually know you already found his potion, but his dialogue was indeed missing a word. The correct spelling is Schwartzfield, so thanks for bringing that to my attention. Hope you're having fun.
