Re: [ ECLIPSE | Character presentation video! ]

Sorry I'm just saying one more thing on that @ PowerPatrick:
It wasn't really a big discussion, I was just saying it would be possible if he wanted it, and I don't take kindly to saying something's impossible just because it's hard. Like I said, I don't care how hard it is. If I want to do it, I will make sure it happens. Of course this is Drolpiraat's game and he can do what he wants with it. Just tossing out a possibility. :P

And that btw, looks really nice. :)

Cool game, by the way, i readed in previous pages that you added someone's character, can you add mine? (Sakotsu and Ina)

At least as tutorial characters or something pl0x?

Hi!
Is the game still has some chances to finish? Did everyone forget about it? Because in Poland we have an adjective for such things: "zajebiste" (google tranlsate argues that the equivalent of that swa is "awesome", but a bit vulgar connotation that makes me think it would be a better term "Fucking great" :D).

Hey there!
Yes it still has some chances to finish. It's just that school is taking away all my time at the moment, I was working on a RayTunes update but I stopped working on that too because of a lack of time. :(
I'll start working on both things again as soon as I get more time though, and you definitely won't be disappointed. ;)

Same reason why I haven't updated Rayman 1.5 recently. :P

Also I have a little question: would it be suitable to add a "fangame music" section to RayTunes? It would be pretty cool. I also would love to hear your recordings in a dedicated mp3/wav format. :)

This looks like an half spinoff of a Rayman Game.

Yes, I have long time thought about this too, since I also have a Rayman folder with a lot of such.

Or rather OGG Vorbis as lossy format and FLAC as lossless format. MP3 sucks on a low bitrate while OGG on the same low bitrate is still super clear and incredibly small in filesize. WAV, being uncompressed, is sometimes way too big to be shared properly. If you're confused: Lossy is a compression method that, in this case, discards potential unheard parts of the audio on the low and high end frequencies of a spectrum, resulting in a reduced quality and clarity in short-terms. Lossless is a compression method that keeps all the audio intact in smaller sizes, just like how an archiving formats like ZIP and RAR works. FLAC is often converted from WAV, since it's not being a standard exportation possibility in a lot of digital audio applications. There shouldn't be any compatibility problems if you use VLC, Media Player Classic, GStreamer, MPlayer, etc.

But this is only a suggestion to make audio file sharing and storage more efficient.

Bah, I say FLAC and MP3. OGG isn't compatible with many things, and this isn't exactly a technology forum heheh. I'd use MP3 for putting on my iPod for compatibility reasons, as 320 kbs isn't actually really that bad at all.

And this is just one reason why I'm disgusted by Apple products, they're not helping to adapt/support anything, and especially not open formats, including FLAC. Anyways, just keep MP3 at high bitrates then.

I agree, and I would side with you on OGG, but I'm going with 320 mp3 over OGG because of compatibility.

I feel like part of me died... At first time in my life i cant found an emoticon to owerstate my state.
The wort thing is, I cannot uderstand the cancel reason. If i try to translate it, I got some weird things about "putting life and love into game". I will look for the better translator, but I think it's a little bit more explanation for me.

I'm also dissapointed, but I can understand why you've cancelled it.
And seeing how you upload editable GM8 files, I forgive you. :P
Now I can examine them and learn how to use GM.

I love how it took us all 5 days to notice this.

But yeah, it's a shame. What's important now is that you pull through. I hope things go well for you.

Aw, it's a shame indeed. :( From what I see, this game reminds Droll of negative things, although I still would like to note that it's not good to only have one thing in your life or have someone else swindle and change your positive hobbies. Now I'm not saying that's what's happening, I'm just saying.
