New Song - Shady Grove

Click it, yo.

The chimes are a bit quieter than I'd intended, but that's easy enough to fix when I've the time for a rerender and making it loop properly again. >_> I've a page that needs doing~ One filler week is more than enough, amiright?

Speaking of filler, I'm going to tease you all with "I have been working on HPE" (all two of you that know what that is!) and now say "That was technically a falsehood."

What I have been doing, however, is hopping around on the most professional design document ever (read: I made a Wave doc and have a couple people I trust looking over my stupid ideas to make the game not suck should I ever actually crank the thing out somehow), and worked out (to some extent) Unison attacks and some extra AoEs (area of effects, their emitters still needing a proper name if anyone has any ideas) and field skills.

I've advanced the plot outline to the acquisition and awakening of the Water Spirit, Annel, and the skills she learns therein, which means nothing to most anyone here, but regardless it's led to me adding in the idea of underwater areas, wherein AoE stones and Annel act as Oxy beacons, meaning that within battle a certain radius around them is safe to stand in while outside of said radius one starts taking damage at an increasing rate for every turn they're in open water. It's a bit ironic considering how much drowning in games stresses me out (read: I am known to literally cry any time an oxygen meter comes up), but I think the way it's employed here emphasizes smart thinking instead of just worrying about how long you've been choking yourself. I think it'll work out alright in the end, thus. Hopefully.

If that's all way above you (I apologize, I'm not explaining a lot really), just call it a reminder that I'm not completely abandoning the RPG project (again), just focusing on my concepts this time before I finalize everything under the sun.

That and I'm putting off programming the MSS editor. I've been procrastinating that one for months.

The review on NG;

"I'd write a big giant complicated review but i have finals.

8/10

5/5"

I'm guessing it wasn't a math-final.

Anyway, nice tune.

@ Mordi: Review was actually Erik nice-voting for me. :x Call it a returned favor, maybe? I helped rally people to up-vote his thing for the top 5 a couple weeks back.

@Cesque: Thank you, sir!
