So Reives, are you the creator of Quintessence? I wanted to play it but I'm one of those lazy guys who's too lazy to navigate the game's site XD.

Sorry if I caused trouble, can I have the direct download link to the first chapter. I heard it has many and I would like to start from the first.

Yep. Sorry for the unclarity, the download link on there is actually chapter 1-6 inclusive instead of just 6. http://www.quintessence-tbv.com/Quintessence_Chap1-6.rar

So, the download contains all six chapters right? I'm downloading now and will play it in my laptop. My computer's sound card was ruined so, sound related issues will have to go there. XD

@Rieves - brilliant! I think ya just cornered the problem, lol.
Yer game is remarkable, and I am very happy you can't be disuaded from doing it differently, yer own way.
Why do the critics expect these games to be all alike? I think you'll have many fans in spite of the nonsense from folks who don't like ta read. RPer's will love it!!

(I don't think these same people are going ta like my RPG either, there is a lot of dialogue, but without as many cut scenes.)

that sounds interesting Onefeather!! i would love to check it out!!
and that must be why i'm totally obsorbed in this game, i love to read, and i love the flashbacks! i love how they come back peice by piece until we get the whole thing!!
and thanks for the help Rieves!!! that was where i got hugely stuck!!!

All this hate because i don't like the game is ridiculous. And saying it is "story-based" in a disclaimer doesn't actually explain what it is. Aveyond is story based. AP is story based. Quintessence is exclusively story based. I don't mind reading. You said i was incapable of reading disclaimers. I read it. Perhaps the disclaimer should be accurate. I think it's great you like the game but yelling at me for having another opinion is immature and ridiculous.

dude, if your talking to me, which i hope your not, then i don't know what your talking about. i just don't like when people post bad comments on games and stories. i'm not mad for having your own opinion or anything, i just don't like negative comments is all. but i won't get mad over something like different opinions. i like the game you don't, not much to get mad about.
and now i need help, again. i'm at the part where i'm suppose to explore town, and i've done so. i've gotten the music box for the one girl you seem to scare away, and have the action figure that seems to want something, but i guess i don't have that something...
and i can't move on either because even though i've explored every building except the locked ones, it won't become sunset!! what do i do??

Games will not please everyone. Everyone will have their own opinion on it. Whether it's negative or not, I think everyone's opinions should be respected (as long as it's constructive and not just blatant flaming/bashing someone's creative work)

Calm down, xbotter.

The disclaimer describes it as an "interactive show", "unlike typical RPGs", "focus on its story rather than gameplay".

Either way, there's no need to get all fired up over it - I was phrasing it as a general statement with no specific targets. Not only that, the responses were so mild that I honestly don't see how you came to the conclusion of people are even remotely "hating" in their responses.

Quoting from your initial post:
"I've played up to chapter 5 and this "game" is awful. It's like not even a game. It's more like one long cut scene. If you don't mind pressing the spacebar for hours and reading a story you'll like this game. If you like a little action this game is not for you because there isn't any."

Don't you find it ironic that you are accusing others of being "immature" while you yourself opens with a typical discouraging destructive comment as opposed to a constructed one? If I myself were to read that without knowing, I'd be turned off to try it myself even if I like story oriented selections. Such info makes it sound as if it is just a space bar spam with nothing more to offer, which is a rather falacious to a degree - and hence it is only natural, and just as politically correct, to respond with my opinion toward the (opinionated, if you will) misleadingness of your's.

No one is opposing your opinion itself, and I respect it just as any others - but rather the attitude and irony in which it was presented with.

If you reread the responses to your comment, you would realize that there was much agreement with you in the constructive aspect of your post. Which was highly appreciated, by the way, as I spent more time agreeing with you than otherwise.

um, okay now that that's hopefully settled(seriously, it's not worth getting into a fight over nothing!) can someone possibly help me? i think that sounds kinda rude myself, so i understand if you do too, but i would really like some help! if you read my previous post you could find out what for. it really isn't worth retyping.

Oh, I thought I sent you a PM about how to get past that. D: If you didn't get it, here it is:

"To continue, you have to complete the following 3 tasks:
-Visit Alden's Memorial northeast of the starting place (Royal District).
-Visit the Central east of the starting place (Royal District).
-Complete the mini-quest started from one of the northern houses in Southern District (the sky will darken when it is completed).

[No specific order.]"

Sorry about that. D:

Just wanted to say I really am enjoying this game so far. I am a sucker for games like this where a good story is the main focus.

I noticed there is no graphic for the rubber hammer in the inventory now that I have downloaded up to chapter 6. It was there before. A glitch maybe? It's not really a big deal, just thought I would point it out.

Also, does the mini candy cane in chapter five have any use? Can it be used in that chapter or saved for a future one?

Can't wait to play next chapter, keep up the good work

Thanks! I'll look into the rubber hammer thing. For some reason I don't remember ever having an icon for it due to slacking off though, heheh.

The mini candy cane actually does have an use. Nothing serious though, just an easter-egg item that can be used through something else.

Thank you, Reives

I was able to figure it out after reading your hint! The results were interesting,

Xchain

I like this game

But I can`t pass chapter 3

I hate that snake in the caves

Just force him through areas where he can only go one way (like at the very top) and shoot him with lots of arrows then run around and heal yourself heaps while he's burrowing until he settles and do it again.

I love this game actually a lot, one of the best I've seen so far.

Sorry but it's only fair all opinions be shared. Not just rosey ones. And the people that don't play it will thank me lol

It seems you really are trying to discourage other people from playing this game, and no one who doesn't play it will thank you, because they will have no idea what they are missing.

Your 'opinion' is nothing but worthless propaganda, since it is blatantly intended to make other people's decisions for them. Hopefully most folks reading this aren't that mindless, and your influence is as futile as your attempts to disguise your biased comments as 'opinions'.

The difference is as simple as comparing the two statements:
"I didn't like this game." TRUE
or
"I didn't like this game, and no one else will either." FALSE

Even if there are other people who don't like it, you're not doing them any big favor by deciding they don't have to find that out for themselves.

Thanks guys. :)
The production of the new chapter's going well, about halfway there I believe.

Here is a new BGM that I just finished composing:

["The Last Moonrise"(c) Quintessence - TBV and cannot be used, sorry. :x ]

I haven't try out your game yet because my computer couldn't support RPG Maker games anymore due to the graphic card suffered a damage (FPS had been slowing down when transition going on)

Say, how many people you got in your group to make the game. Kinda makes me feel left out from the RPG world because I'm working onmy game all by myself :'3
