Well that's good to hear!
Maaaan I'm really liking the DR3 anime =P
Thanks. I hope it helps! That was a fun read, by the way XD And I know that motivational ditch thing. I know it can be hard, but I know you'll pull through no problem!
Generally pretty good, though I just recoiled from reading this little gem. I feel a little sick now. For the most part I'm enjoying my free time. By which I mean I waste all of it trying to keep up with my daily routine, rarely taking the time to do something actually productive or even just getting started on reading a new VN, much less trying to continue my DR fanfic or working on my Bachelor's thesis. It's a bit of a motivational ditch I find myself in and I hope I'll get out of it soon because it feels like time is just fleeting away like crazy. So pretty much the exact opposite of your problem, heh. Enjoy your vacation
Super tired, super stressed. Just need a vacation. Thankfully, it starts this Friday after work. I'll have ten days away from work which just seems unreal at this point. We're going back to our home town for that time, so we'll see how it goes. How about yourself?
Hey there, how are you doing?
Thanks And she did, actually! I think part of what made it so magical was the fact that we played it together. I provided different voices for all the characters, so maybe that made them come alive even more! Oh, it's impossible to choose a reasonable number of tracks Basically, all the final battle themes - MEGALOVANIA, Your Best Nightmare and Finale, and especially Hopes and Dreams and Save the World, but ASGORE was great too, same with Heartache, Bonerrousle, Spear of Justice, Death by Glamour, and Spider Dance. From the non-battle themes, definitely Another Medium, Undertale, and His Theme.
Minor Genocide route spoilersFlowey actually chides you for watching videos of the Genocide run instead of doing it yourself =P It would be cool if games with stories as their main appeal a.k.a. visual novels became a bigger mainstream thing. I think it's more likely it'll spawn a series of games with similar narrative elements trying to cash in on the popularity of the whole remembering your actions beyond your current save element, except they do it without a lick of creativity. But I hope that's just me being cynical More Toby Fox games would be a great thing though. The guy is talented in so many aspects of game making. And yes, the music of Undertale is amazing. On that note, what are your favorite tracks? :P Mine would have to be MEGALOVANIA, Bergentrückung + ASGORE, Finale and the Undertale theme. I think it's great that the story managed to move you on that level, actually I'm a bit envious =P I find it to be a wonderful thing to have your walls torn down by a game. It's been a while since I've connected to a cast of charcters beyond just looking at them as pieces in a story. I don't regret taking this view with works of fiction, but it does lose some of its magic this way Did your wife enjoy it as much as you did? All the best for your future creative endeavors
Oh yeah, also (sorry for going on about this, I just realized this, talking to my wife) - I kind of feel that I got a piece of my childhood back. because normally I am much more analytical about things and would probably want to experience other routes one day, much like you. But this time, it's more like, I feel as if I were a kid watching his first Disney movie again. i am so satisfied with the ending, so in love with the characters that, with the meta elements driving the point home that evgerything has consequences, I don';t want to ruin their perfect ending. I know logically they don't exist and can't care. But I feel that they exist. Like a baby. And in a way, I feel vulnerable because of this, but it also feels great. There's something incredibly inspiring in this - the fact that I can feel something so much because of a story again. it makes me feel that maybe I can make something that will move people like this after all. It feels like my creative side will be able to thrive again. And I so hope that I'm not wrong.
Oh, i can definitely understand that And I am also curious how it looks, but it'd be enough for me to see a youtube video of the genocide side of things, because really, I can't remember when I was last so satisfied with a game ending to not want to come back to it because it was so good! I just hope Toby Fox keeps making more games now. maybe this being such a success will help him get in the big leagues somehow, if that;s what he wants. Maybe Undertale's success will actually help show the industry that there is actually a market for games that use stories as its main source of appeal - stories that don't rely just on zombie conspiracies or any other thing involving a grizzled action hero in his thirties, or just being dark and gritty for the sake of being dark and gritty without trying to actually convey something meaningful on top of bieng incredibly original. Here's hoping! I also really dug the music. you can tell Fox is a composer first - not that the gameplay is bad, because it was incredibly unique and fun most of the time, but the music is really top-notch with some nice techniques thrown in and amazing use of leitmotifs. I also liked that of all the couples in the game, more than half (or half if you still count Toriel and Asgore, who I secretly hope get together affter all that stuff) were gay couples, with the main couple being a lesbian one that wasn't sexualized or fetishized in the slightest, which was really refreshing and very sweet to watch, all around. I ship them all hard, Undyne and Alphys, that dog husband and wife, the armored dudes, and then the goats too. Hope they all lead a happy life ^^
