Eternal Chaos - Chapter 5 (20/01/08)

I played to the part where Zarro returns to the village after escaping the cell (on Hard mode), and when I had to check on Dani, it acted as though Zarro just woke up from his dream and it even had a Zarro sprite standing right next to Dani when I entered the house. Are some events messed up?

 

No, they seem correct to me

 

Okay this is odd. I downloaded the file again with GetRight (Download manager). It worked now.

 

Odd! :eek:

Oh hi! Haven't seen you around here for a while.

 

Yeah lol!
Lots of different things in hard mode!

 

I haven't completed the demo yet, but isn't the fire in the throne room too high?

 

Nah, it's floating above the torches. OOOoooOOOooo... >> <<

 

lolwut.

I thought your MSN was spoilt? How come you are on?

I downloaded it without DAP download accelerator and it worked. Ahh these speedupwhateverthecrapdownload sucks. *trashes it*

 

Just completed it. Well, not Hard mode, too lazy to try it anyway, turns out I stopped before the final battle.

Holy shit, Zeshiro looks awesome in that battle. Hard to imagine Zeshiro is a Balrog base. I think.

YOU ARE ONLINE OMFG?
*goes to test demo...*

btw I can use the original Profile.dat right?

 

You can, well, I did anyways. lol.

Edit - Like what, you mean you onlycome online to talk to me?

Lol no. I just happened to just log on at that time o.o And I didn't expect you to be online at this hour today hmm...

Oh yeah I used the old Profile.dat lol. This chapter is kinda long. Whoot for ZT!

I used Balrog for a few movements and death animation, Sue for the pfft-squeek, and forward-fling, and Pooh-Black for the battle and death animation. I guess I pulled it all off quite well. Heheh.
Zeshiro himself typed up the little talking scenes before/after the battle, depending on which character you use. Try using each character; the given messages differ. (you can't swap during the fight, though)

Oh, for the record, there are a total of 15 life fragments in the game so far. By the end you should have __ life:

Easy - 30
Hard - 18

: I might make a few fragments easier to find, as I DID hide them quite... cruely? I'unno how I'd describe it. They're hidden, and unless you keep an eye open, and look everywhere, you'll only find 3 or 4.

I'm also deciding on rebalancing the weapons; While I can't alter the number of bullets, I'll see what I can do power/range-wise. Daniruu's fairly overpowered at the moment...

 

Wow, I only got 15 hp in easy mode. XD

Edit - Character swap dissapears after Boss battle. o.o

 

Okay well seeing as it's been a couple of days I figure I'll chuck up my usual notes, leaving out the stuff we've already discussed in the chat. Just taking these from what I've written down. Oh yeah, SPOILERS.

-The Egg Corridor music returns after the convo with Pandi, not a bug as such, it just seems a bit out of place...

-I liked the use of the hidden/destructible blocks on the path out of the temple, moreso once I learned how to use them properly >.>

-Back outside once again, and things are looking decidedly browner than before. Hmm. Also the initial conversation with Ballog is skipped if you die and reset (skipflag?). I just though it odd because it hasn't happened anywhere else yet.

-Back to Blaze, where things are looking positively beachy. Also for some reason I can't jump on the roofs anymore ! Oh well, back to the temple... again...

-I liked the animation/story for the battle with Hykahl.

-Most of the difficulty difficulties I've written down are due to balance issues and the fact that I have 10 Health, which we've already talked about so I won't dawdle on that too much. Let's just say I tried every new level with Zarro and didn't make it x.x I got close-ish a couple of times, though...

-Going back through the temple was mostly the same, and then New Climby Area! 'Twas fun, and not too hard for its length. Hopefully it leads to another place I haven't been before in the next chapter...

-Which ends with a battle. Zeshiro does look cool, even if he's not especially threatening... yet. I also enjoyed his little speil, it was a nice and unexpected change of pace. I was probably thinking too harshly when I only gave it an 8/10... 9, maybe? Although some backstory at some point would be nice to describe why he goes all beserker on me. Also what jcys said about the character swap.

That's it then. The longest chapter so far, I think, and also the one with the most spelling mistakes >.>; I think I'll wait 'till the game is finished or near-finished before I try Hard mode, although I might have to play it again in the meantime so I have more than 10 life to work with x.x *sigh* Perhaps I should play through mods once for fun rather than doing a bug-run the first time, so I'm not spoiling the experience for myself...

Em you can edit the bullets... issit just that you don't want to? <--btw SP tis emoticon is misintepreted... ._.

 

Lol, thanks for the review, DoubleThink... >> <<

Yeah, I think my save is corrupted, as the events are messed up. The mod still thinks Zarro barely woke up, and I cannot move on, as when I try to see Shades again, Zarro continues to say that he needs to check up on Dani. Hard Mode, by the way.
