I recently found out a game named Anodyne. Lots of people say it's like combining Earthbound and Link's Awakening, but to my opinion it's a combining of Yume Nikki and Zelda. I love this kind of surreal-themed atmospheric horror game (and hate jump scares).
Graphic isn't gloomy as Yume Nikki, but still the music is doing great job. And the second half of the game is just mind blowing, really. If you like Yume Nikki and Zelda, give Anodyne a try.

Since I've exposed to all kinds of doujin music, I think I'm capable to say I'm a avid listener. I'm learning keyboard and guitar though. It's my dream to make some cool arrange for my favorite tracks, even original ones!

Thanks for making this thread, Leon. I have made it a sticky. As for shoutbox, does it serve a good purpose, or should I turn it off? I kinda like it for quick things like "theres an update" or "goodnight everyone", but interesting conversations get lost there. I suggest just keep it there, it's convenient for some small talk or gibbering.

It's... pretty regular I think. Woke up at 8:30, picked up by colleague and went to company, watched some old AVGN videos then started learning about camera calibration, some linear algebra / least-square algorithm s**t, finished my lunch and continued. Since I'm not so hungry, so by now I'm just hanging around the Internet and waiting for the update.
Very impressive for the last summer holiday at college.

*Tries to imagine Koji Igarashi directing the production of a new Pokemon game* Complete with 4 new Types, and Red Wine-filled glasses for your Pokemon to carry! (The Pokemon League Championship Arena is in the shape of a humongous Castle) Now that would be an interesting spin on things... instead of pokeballs, in bloodstained you'd throw wine glasses and when they break they would release the monster to fight. Hey this could be a special move. Sweet!

...So to sum up, basically, just don't get mad, keep calm and set Miriam (maybe in pure costume) as your desktop wallpaper. Okay be serious, good article mate!

I think, more than updates about the game itself, I want updates about the team... Is that odd? Rather than know about the game development monthly, I would rather have members of the staff drop in every other day to mingle with us backers, who I feel are in some ways part of the team as well. They don't necessarily have to talk about what they are working on, just show us that they are still alive and active; it could be to talk about how smooth whatever it is they're doing is going, how difficult the work can be, how their beloved boss is somehow standing behind their backs with his arms crossed or even what they had for breakfast. I also hope we can somehow give them help this way. I feel that this kind of close relationship between staff and fans is what will make these next two years easier to bear. Ben Judd, in the KS comments section, has been popping in and out and has shown what his short appearances can do to the community, for exemple. It wasn't always about the game itself, but I sure am glad he's taking the time to make us know there is someone on the other side. Totally agree. I'd love to see someone inside the team popping in fan forum. Not necessary to talk about the game though, you know, just like us, hanging around the off topic board during the lunch time would be sweet enough.

I am talking about the ones from Castlevania SotN. Alura Une is also known as the Venus Weed. There is the pink haired one that is fed with human blood, she has white skin and grey rose petals. Then there is the Blue Alura Une, also known as Blue Venus Weed, which is basically the same as the Venus Weed, but fed with demon blood. This one has orange hair, green skin, and blue rose petals. If you get hit enough times the petals change to a red colour as if it is drinking your blood. 9gif I wanted to recreate her in game animation so I turned on SotN. I could only get her to do a couple of really quick moves that didn't look that cool so I just made up my own animation from the SotN sprite sheet. Too much fun! These little flowers are just so CUTE... Oh can't forget the lovely witches, anyone like cats?

Those generated dungeons can hold pretty much of the replaying value IMO. But TBH, a good game really lives on. People replay SotN like thousands of times, and they keep trying to dig things out of it. A conclusion in storyline doesn't mean the whole game is over.

Eh? Isn't Lily a symbol of purity? "From the name of the flower, Lily, a symbol of purity. The word is ultimately derived from the Latin word lilium. Origin & History: The flower power symbol was of virginity, purity, beauty, and innocence. The flower has also been worshiped in many religions. It is used for the Catholic religion, especially at Easter, to symbolize the Virgin Mary. Baptist Christian's believe it symbolizes the resurrection of life in Christ. " Ehh, then I misunderstood something. Japanese word Yuri which means lily represents lesbian.

Hmm, should the room be Miriam's by default? I mean, sure, Gebel made the castle for her, but can you really trust a demon-infested castle and the possessed guy who made it all happen? And then "hey this room is for you, don't mind the plethora of monsters trying to kill you behind the door! " I think she should have a scene in which "a room" looks like a good place to rest during her journey within the castle but there are monsters or a boss inside or next to it and proceeds to secure the area. well in my head I was thinking she finds a detached room and Johannes tells her it is a gateway that exist both in this world and does not... a kind of room stuck in limbo... a blind spot from demons and Gebel... maybe she could find empty rooms in the castle and turn them into her room gate way This is actually a good point, maybe it's the very last bit of humanity and love in Gebel that made him create a room in the castle just for her to rest peacefully. And we must get a big bathtub and a set of towels in her room. (The extremely precious balneation scene of our Miriam-chanYEAAAAAAAAAAAH)

Haven't tested the RC version yet, so I'll reserve my opinion.
TBH Win7 is a very stable OS, not sure 10 could surpass its predecessor.

So the game over scene would be the crystallized Miriam lying in a crystal coffin in her own room.
COOL
