Sooooo where do the Souls factor into this game? The From Soft games weren't named that arbitrarily. The Souls are the main source of XP/currency/etc.

Agreed, Skies of Arcadia can be challenging, but it was definitely not the hardest RPG I've ever played. The random encounters are really the hardest part of it. Especially when you run into one every 10 steps in the dungeons. The author of this post really needs to replay this (Gamecube is probably the best option,…

Lovely city Auksie! You can tell you put a lot of thought into every little detail. If you haven't seen them before, might I recommend checking out some of the speed builds from FyreUK? These guys (and gals) do some pretty amazing maps. Check em out, might give you some inspiration for a future build, or expansions to…

Nice! Those shots are really awesome. good job!

Even with the editors, it is far from easy to just throw together any old structure, it takes careful planning, and patience to get any structure right.

Phantasy Star with pirates and airships. Sounds awesome, especially as they're from the same development team. But many found the game to be extremely difficult. To put it more bluntly, it kicked our asses. With numerous random battles and unforgiving difficulty, the main reason this game wasn't on the original list…

Awww thanks, I wasn't aware of that!

Well a lot of people still do. Just because you don't know anyone personally, doesn't mean there aren't still gamers out there who love their DC's.

That og poster was That Guy, and that made me think of That Girl. :D

:D

Hey np man, and your first paragraph is exactly what I felt like when I would get people who obviously didn't understand my work, criticizing it. And not just giving critical feedback, because I love that! It's those people who have nothing productive to say that really get me frustrated. Glad you guys are chatting…

Yeah ty for saying that. I hate when people act like each genre only needs one game to fill its quota. I say more games in all genres, all the time!

Hey man, I would like to offer you a bit of advice as a fellow creator of things that the public can purchase, and use with the money they own. I'd be really careful how you respond to folks online. I get where you're coming from, and agree entirely, but you could say the same exact thing, without stooping to that…

Or you know people, that actually enjoy the Dreamcast.

This man knows what he is talking about. I once heard that the XBOX was developed partially by MS gutting a Dreamcast and using it as a template. Even MS knew who had the best console of all!

A lot of experimental, ambient, progressive rock, psychedelic stuff and many other styles have tons of music that is just textures, and atmosphere.

Brian Eno (another self taught musician) has a ton of ambient music that is kind of all over the place.

That's the level my partner in my main project is at. That dude can play anything, and if you tell him how awesome he is, he gets all humble and denies being awesome. Which I think is really dumb lol. But I understand why he's humble. Because he's a good person.

If you have the time, you can google search a full copy of the manga. It's worth a read if you haven't already checked it out. Like most manga series it fleshes out a ton of content you don't see in the film adaptations. Appleseed, and Tank Police are also worth a look. Both Anime and Manga.

Sure, but the beauty of all instruments is they are completely open to interpretation. You don't have to follow theory, or any kind of structure if you don't want to.

Guitars sound amazing when someone strums a nice chord, holds it, and then manipulates the textures with various pedals. You can make whole album using…
