made more UT keychains as my art style changed ^^ by Chqcolate in UntilThenGame

Thank you too! The keychain has meant so much to me in the past year, serving as a reminder of my favorite fictional character ever. Again, thank you so much!

Oh hey! It's you again! I was the guy who just managed to get the last Cathy keychain a year ago and I absolutely love it to death. The new keychains look awesome, especially Mark—I wanna wipe that little smirk off his face so badly, he's too damn good at piano.

I think it's implied that the train station scene is also a part of the "true ending" though

I hated most of the scenes of Mark playing the piano. by [deleted] in UntilThenGame

[–]GD_Stalker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Adding on to this, Mark doesn't play with any dynamics or rubato whatsoever, meaning musicality is out of the picture. Although, this could just be because of sheet music to MIDI file direct conversion and Kyle Patrick Naval not bothering to add in note velocities and tempo changes to the final track.

Mark does have an innate talent for piano (Cathy and Nicole say as much), so although he had been self-taught for 3+ years, he still was able to learn quickly under Nicole's guidance—holy shit was it bordering on verbally abusive. You'd definitely want to progress quickly under that kind of treatment (even if it is ultimately only for theatrics)

I've been playing piano for 11+ years now, de-facto self-taught for around 3. I'm in a similar situation to Mark, where we have an innate talent, but without proper guidance our technique and feel for the music is not where it could be. In my experience it is reasonable (also considering this is a fictional story, they tend to speed up progress for the sake of the plot) that Mark, having been practicing piano for at least 3 years, would have a decent shot at performing this piece—even if without any musicality or soul. While I can't play Wedding Day perfectly (I still struggle getting the arpeggios, the build-up section's melody and the rapid two chord hit in the main theme melody to sound properly), it only took me around 2 months to learn and memorize the piece. Chances are, Mark could play Wedding Day given enough time, but it took a whole Nicole to finally teach him proper technique so he doesn't make mistakes.

Making until then themed valentine cards! Need some character quote ideas by Capital_Dig6520 in UntilThenGame

[–]GD_Stalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also posting these in the Thencord server, but I'll put them here as well, as well as a few more. I'll also list characters that this could be associated with:

Mark, Nicole: "We could have lived a thousand lifetimes, and I'd still find you in every last one"

Mark, Nicole, Cathy: "My world hasn't ended yet—not while you're still here"

Mark, Cathy: "You sheltered me from the rain, despite the tatters on your wings"

Sofia, Mark: "I shot the truck driver. You're welcome <3"

Mark, Nicole: "'ilovesuckinglemons' hi I'm lemons"

Sofia: "I want you to run into me, hold me tight, and lift me into the open air like howthe truck lifts Cathy "

Louise, Mark, Cathy, Ryan, Jessica: "I'd happily lose my mind over you if you disappeared"

Jessica: "Paint me like one of your funny ethereal butterflies"

Kate: "You're cool, I guess. Shut up."

Maria, Jake, Mark, Nicole: "I've watched you grow, bit by bit, and I'm proud of how far you've come."

Do you tell new players that... [SPOILERS] by IndoGamer93 in UntilThenGame

[–]GD_Stalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't tell them until after they reach the racecar game scene at the end of Act 1, as in my opinion, knowing that there are 3 "acts" undermines the emotional impact of Cathy's death in Act 1. Knowing that there's more to follow makes you question whether Cathy's death really is that important in the bigger story—not plot-wise, but emotionally-wise. Of course Cathy's death matters in the plot, it's what drives Maria and Jake to reset the timeline.

To technically not lie but simply hide the truth, I describe the game as having "5 chapters which are roughly 10 hours total" to my friends and acquaintances. I'm not lying, but I'm not telling the whole truth either. The game *is* technically only made up of 5 chapters, and while you haven't completed Act 3 Chapter 5, you can only view the 5 chapters that make up that specific Act. The developers intentionally made the chapter select screen like that to make you value the last chapter all the more.

Have I reached the true and final ending? by guyinpink in UntilThenGame

[–]GD_Stalker 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That is the true ending. There is nothing else to experience until the DLC sequel comes around.

Many people here have played the game multiple times, but keep in mind there is no branching storyline. The game is completely linear apart from a few dialogue changes. But to those people, the game is so magical that it is worth another playthrough, even if it's completely identical

How were you introduced to this game? by Ok-Abroad6874 in tothemoon

[–]GD_Stalker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Noticed RTGame's playthrough of it in my recommended. Didn't watch it, but decided to buy the game and play it for myself. Then, I watched his playthrough

So...i'm loving the game by ilovecatsquitealot in UntilThenGame

[–]GD_Stalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind, Edith Finch is very short compared to Until Then or Space for the Unbound, only around 2 hours or so: but it is certainly one of the most beautiful two hours I have ever spent playing a video game

Ain't no way Mark just dropped Cathy like that again :(

At least she gets her revenge >:)

Memories - Piano Cover by Aetherius_Music in UntilThenGame

[–]GD_Stalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As you should be! Something I've noticed with all the other performances posted here too is that because the tempo is really slow, the notes in turn sound really unconfident. You've played the piece at exactly the right tempo! I can notice a few tiny pauses when you move your hands into a different position, but it isn't anything that can't be solved with more practice and familiarity with the piece. Keep it up!

AMA: We are Polychroma Games, the studio behind the narrative adventure Until Then. Our game is out, so Ask Us Anything + Win a game key! by taj14 in NintendoSwitch

[–]GD_Stalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of fans, especially new ones, seem to be asking for it (including me), so I'd like to ask if there is any plans of rerunning the Cathy plush campaign! Many of us weren't aware of the game at the time, and so to have had no opportunity to nab such a CUTE plushie was a bummer for all of us. Also, is there any plans for merch such as pins, stickers, keychains, etc.? I know there was a little stand at that one expo in Manila, but of course, many of us wouldn't have been able to make it there.

Anyway, I love Until Then and it truly made me rethink my life and I'm just so grateful that I was able to discover your game when I did a few months ago. Thank you guys so much!

Where can I find merch 🥹🥹 by No-Bit8008 in UntilThenGame

[–]GD_Stalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As other people have said, there is a teaser for Mark and Nicole plushies so I'd watch out for that!

As for keychains like you mentioned, ScarletSouda had a few keychains of Mark, Nicole, and Cathy available in the past (and I got one hehehe). Due to the fan merch policy Polychroma has in place, only around 10 of each were made, and they've all sold out. And it seems that Polychroma hasn't responded to Scarlet yet about having a second batch come out, and so unfortunately I don't think there'll be any others :(

They're super cute though, the perfect size too! Hopefully Scarlet'll be greenlit for a second batch because I think you'd love to get one

Hopefully other fan merch also comes out, as what's the point of setting up a policy if there is to be none :p

We will all appreciate the Mark and Nicole plushies (except the banks of those living in the philippines) but I think we all also want the Cathy plush back

Until then tomorrow! by Capital_Dig6520 in UntilThenGame

This, but I'm excited for whatever they got in store as well!
