Mysterious Song II: Eternal Silence
« on: November 03, 2013, 10:43:38 AM »
I've kept this under wraps for some time now, only revealing it in bits and pieces to chatroom-goers and supplying a small tidbit of info in the MSR release thread. Time to let the cat completely out of the bag.


I've been working on it on and off for some time now, but only during downtime in Lucretia's development. Lucretia is my priority right now, but since I can't ever sit idle, I started this to fill the time voids. I know I said I'd never do another RPG, but there's just no helping it; RPGs are what I do best, and this project allows me to use my full potential as both a writer and a PCE coder.

Looking great!

Copyright 2013 eh...  I assume that date has to change?  lol

The current NPC banter was amusing :)

Thanks. :) Yeah, it will change to 2014 when 2014 comes around. :)

The main reason I'm releasing this video today is because it's about to be temporarily shelved; work on Jungle Bros is about to resume, and that will have my attention together with Lucretia. I'm doing this game as a time-filler, so I work on it when I have nothing else to work on. But I wanted people to know that there is indeed a sequel to MSR on the way. :)

You continue to kick ass. This preview is awesome, and I'm not typically a fan of the genre.

Very interesting.  Seeing how this is a new game, you can totally build it to the PCE's strengths!  Maybe we could do things that got cut out of the original!

I don't want to give too much away just yet, but I will say that this game engine, although based on the original MSR code, is much, much more capable than its predecessor. Moving NPCs, sprite masking, map depth, ledges, split-party gameplay, and auto-movement are all new features to the game engine. Environmental hazards, weather effects, stealth missions, switch-puzzles, and other such good stuff also exists. Basically, everything I wanted to include into MSR, but couldn't because it didn't match the original design, is included in MS2.

Definitely looking forward to this! The first MS has gotten soooo much playtime from me, and I can only imagine how much better this one will be. And for something that's effectively been a side project? Wow, is all I can say...it looks absolutely amazing.
