Played the entire game again in "preparation" for the next release and I have to say...
The soundtrack and music, especially in the story missions, is just fucking awesome!
Not only the tracks themselves but the usage, as in "how and when" they're used.

HopesGaming Seriously, keep it up!
Your choice and usage of music is second to none! (Well... maybe BaDIK comes close...).
You really can tell a lot of attention is given to the music.

The only thing that kinda bugs me is that sometimes rather long tracks are used for only a couple of frames or short animations.
That way, you can't appreciate the whole track as the next one starts already and skips it.
I'm mainly refering to Caterina's "Dance of Death" that has such an awesome Track.
But it's a looped animation counting as one frame that can be skipped with one click...
Thank you for the kind words!

Yeah, I know what you mean. When starting out this project I was actually surprised how difficult it was to handle music, sound, etc. Actually had to go and rewatch series and movies and be like "Oh, never noticed that."

Still, lots to learn which is why there are some places I feel like the music is going on for a bit too long and in other (Caterina's case) a bit too short. I have to add, the music used for Caterina and that scene is actually cut off and looped. I didn't want to give the good part away just yet, heh. (Someone is going to unren the music and listen to it now.)

Hey, thanks for your reply. :)

The Caterina scene was just an example and I wasn't exactly annoyed because of it.
It was just a scene that came to my mind as I didn't really pay that much attention to it at first,
but in my replay i didn't hit space that fast but let it play for a bit and realized, the tracks really kicks in only after close to a minute.

As for the loops:
I realized that myself already.^^
I know, that the "Caterina Dance" basically has three tracks:
"The Intro" when she starts talking to the Fazio Guy.
The "Main Track" during her "Dance of Death". That's the one I meant when I said it counts as one frame.
And "the Outro" after she finished her dance.
I did realize that those are more ore less one track, but that didn't really bother me.
What I mentioned was only "Caterina's Dance", as a looped animation was skippable with one click, and the whole "main track" was tied to it.

Of course I also realized in general, that you cut tracks in several parts and looped them.
First time I realized that, was "Cordia's Theme". (Is it called that? I want to call it that...)
The first time it was played (if I'm not mistaken...) was during Cordia's talk with Giacobbe on that Bench.
You basically looped the "Intro" until Giacobbe called Cordia by her Nickname "Blizzard Queen" including that epic Render...
Yeah... something like that made it pretty obvious... unfortunately.

But like I said in my previous post.
I like your choice and usage of music!
So, (again as I said before...) please keep it up!!! :)

Got to say, I absolutely love this game. I'll finish the current version, move on to a different game and then be like "man, I want to keep playing The Deluca Family" which is a major problem because of the time in between updates. I know you are doing all you can and we just have to sit patiently. But man, I need more of my Luna!!! Especially after learning her history.

MC internal monologue : "Huh, Bonans, this might get ugly. Oh terrific, one has a bat, just fucking great."

*Luna shows up*

MC internal monologue : "Oh shit! Luna! This is going to get ugly and...oh, wait! She has ice cream! Ok, maybe this won't be so bad, just as long as...FUCK!! It's hot out! The ice cream is going to melt! Dammit!"

MC : "Hey uh, Bonans, maybe you should..."

Luna : "I have a gun and ice cream!"

*BLAM!*

Bonan Dumbass #1 : "Ah! My leg! My fucking leg!"

MC internal monologue : "Yep, there it is. Saw that coming... Well at least she didn't drop her cone, maybe they'll actually survive."
To me this was one of the best and funniest scenes. I replay it over and over. I may be weird but that was great!!!!

Of course there are infos.
That's what I got my patreon page for.
was previously subbed as soldato level up until the end of November, in all honesty as no posts have gone up since 4th January i didn't see the need to resub yet as no release date mentioned. if your telling me other messages have gone out via the patreon message system then i'll reconsider that.

this wasnt intended with any hostility towards yourself, just a case of so many games at the moment where development times are quoted and they go well over that regularly....... yes i know thats an issue that i have to deal with and do try, full disclosure my medical condition makes that difficult.

The two last posts made a clear point on what I have planned for and that's why there has been no other posts.
If anything news worthy or anything important happens - it will be shared of course.

Also, yes, there has not been given out any eta but that is not because the release date is far off.
Just due to me learning what it means to give out eta's. So the eta will probably be 1 or 2 days of release. Or maybe even release day, heh.


Who high flying low fall ;)
I have absolutely no idea what you are saying but I am afraid of planes. Those things are too high up.

I think he just compared you to Icarus and called you arrogant.

If that's the case, dude, Gumarijus, no, seriously, you've got Hope's character very, very wrong. :FacePalm:
Ah, so that's why he was facepalming all over, heh.
I still don't get it tho. I just said that there were information about the game on my Patreon page posts.

Maybe there was a perceived tone or something. It's the problem with words on the internet, who knows how they'll be interpreted.

I am a rage monster. Nothing can contain me!
Who wanna fight me? Bring it on. 1vs1. Fortnite creative map.

I am always nice and civilized, even towards the few haters that can come from time to time. Commenting to a guy that I got information on my patreon page (and that is what I got my page for) cannot be in any way be considered inconsiderate.
The opposite I would say actually.
Isn't it better a dev talk with the player base instead of a dev that ignores it?

Peace, love, and icecream :coffee:

I think he does not need a lawyer he knows how to defend himself . :unsure:
I just defended myself by challenging to a 1vs1 in a game of Fortnite.
I think I may actually need a lawyer in this dire situation.

Jokes aside. Chill. I get what you mean by being considerate which is a nice gesture and true.
But you are being a bit oversensitive here.
