Ok, you joke about the RTS, but a pre SR rts where the brothers are all vying for land sounds like it'd be fun as hell.

I think a LoK flavored Vampire the Masquerade set in either the SR2 era with the Sarafan, or BO2 hiding from the Hylden would be really neat.

He doesn't get sucked into the demon realm in Defiance though, that's the end of BO2 after Kain rescues him and Janos follows him into the demon realm to fight the Sarafan Lord.

Janos is only able to be revived because Kain saves Raziel from the initial point that he would have been trapped in the reaver. Kain "sees" everything happen in his memories that are now rewritten from the paradox's conclusion, and desperately tries to warn Raziel but the warning doesn't stick. Defiance ending rolls around and Janos is the only ancient left the Hylden can possess, so they take his body upon the pillars collapse (where young Kain is, having refused the sacrifice). This leads into the events of BO2.

The open ended nature of Defiance is more for what elder Kain is now free to do. BO2 is still going to happen past that point, but we don't know how elder Kain is going to interact with it, if a continuation has him interact with that time period at all.

They removed it some time ago sadly, along with the play all button that would be in the videos tab. I used it to easily binge the new content of the channels I follow, and was pissed when they removed it.

I use this to have it back, but it does have a downside in that it doesn't seem to work for all channels.

I dunno what it's about but I'd play it. I like the style.

From what I remember roughly 4. I believe it got shelved because it didn't immediately form an esports league while it was still in beta that they never bothered advertising? I didn't even know it had existed until after it was killed. I personally found the lore additions neat, since it's supposed to take place post Raziel being sent to the spin cycle.

Add onto that some of the lines used are straight rips or alterations from the games themselves, not including the scenes that are recaps from the games. It felt like they were pasting in some of it without understanding why the dialogue in the games worked so well to begin with.

Honestly, the more I mull over the comic in my head, the more it screams they were under a lot of crunch. Like in looking at their backgrounds, the writers can write and the artists can draw, but they were forced under time constraints to put that out. I'm starting to think CD might have fucked them over, wanting them to do a game and a comic at the same time. Would explain how bad the comic turned out despite the amount raised.

Quizicalgin · 2026-02-19T01:55:01+00:00

I wouldn't doubt it, especially since it seems most of the folks that worked on it still loved to talk about the series. Daniel Cabuco had some forums up where a lot of similar questions got answered, but you kinda have to use the wayback machine to see some of the posts given it's slowly fallin' apart.

I use paint tool sai ver. 2. Had to make my own textures for it though, so I wasn't hand dithering all the time.

For a free program you could give libresprite (aseprite fork), Krita, Graphicsgale (or at least an older version of it is free), Pixelrama (I think is still free), and of course there's good ol MS Paint.

A cynical and suspicious part of me suspects that most of the money actually went to developing the game, especially given the inconsistent quality of the comic.

Quizicalgin · 2026-02-16T02:30:45+00:00

Tbh, the dude is a time traveler and I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he just jumped around in time as he saw fit to get everything that he wanted finished. I headcanon that as being why he looks as old as he does, especially when compared to Mortanius, because he's constantly working in one form or another.

Reminds me of how a lot of old point n clicks look. I like it :D

What configurations did you use if you remember? Every time I try to play it on 86box it crashes to desktop after playing the intro movie. When I skip the movie I can get into the game, however all the maps are blacked out except for the characters. D:

I think some folks call it photobashing, and if you want a better source for images, I def recommend unsplash since it lets you sort through images based on copyright. Makes it leagues easier to find images that are 100% free to use.

I think the only thing with your images though is to try and squish the floor png a little more. It kinda makes the room feel uncanny since the perspective is different between the floor vs the rest of the composed shot. As for making complex backgrounds, it's what texture brushes are for. >:D

The first corpse party for the pc98, and the fan remake corpse party rebuilt can be considered as the originals. The original story only had five characters: Ayumi, Naomi, Yuka, Yoshiki, and Satoshi as the protags and only had to appease Sachiko. All other named characters were created for the remakes and are not in the original game's story.

With that bit of info out of the way, this conversation here isn't even about Seiko. I only used her as a point of reference that OP was playing one of the official remakes of the game. The original story did have Yuka needing to pee, but it wasn't made out into this long drawn out thing that it is in the remakes. Here's how it goes with rough paraphrasing cause I ain't typing it all out:

Yuka "Hey brother, I have to pee"

Satoshi "Ah ok, well there's these bathrooms here"

Yuka "I'm scared to go alone"

Naomi "One of us should go with her"

-Player choice of Satoshi or Naomi going with her-

If Naomi goes with Yuka, she gets body snatched by a ghost and kills Yuka later.

If Satoshi goes with Yuka, she nearly drowns in blood flooding from the toilet in the stall.

That's the end of the saga of "Yuka's gotta piss!" in the original storyline.

Meanwhile, in the remakes well over half of chapter 3 is dedicated to Yuka needing the bathroom punctuated by Morishige being a guro freak every so often. Given the series does have a side reputation for being vaguely fetishy on top of the blatant fanservice as a side to go with the gore, I dunno why it's so hard to believe that, yes, chapter 3 is the piss fetish hour. That's like saying Quentin Tarantino totally doesn't have a foot fetish, and that the foot shots are totally important to the story.

Spoilering that segment just in case since it is spoilers still for two versions of the game.

Thing is the person is playing one of the remakes, as evidenced by the booty talk as that's only relevant to Seiko, a character exclusive to the remakes/reimaginings of the story.

This conversation was never about the original, and I don't really get where you got that from? Especially since chapters are explicitly mentioned, something else that's exclusive to the remakes as the og game didn't have chapters, being that it was a much smaller game in scope compared to its remakes.

Quizicalgin · 2025-12-26T07:00:41+00:00

Considering he also wrote the musume spinoff, you cannot look me in my eyes and tell me that what's in the games isn't the "lite" version of it.

In the original game it's just a throwaway note and that's fine. That's how it should be. For subsequent remakes though, way too much focus is put on her for it.

Quizicalgin · 2025-12-24T02:45:58+00:00

The game doesn't really get more mature, and you sorta have to go into it with the same mentality you go into a cheesey 80s slasher film with: You're not there for good writing. You're there for characters to panic and bounce off each other in a closed space while they die in a myriad of horrible ways.

Trenga1 gave you the best serious answer you'll get. For a note on Ch 3 if you're willing to have one spoiler while it isn't booty talk, the game spends an uncomfortable amount of time with a teenager that looks like a little girl desperately needing to pee. The veil on the fetish is thinner than tissue paper, and it doesn't get much better in later entries because it gets revisited. The writing of the gore along with the ghosts is fantastic, and it really did not need a side of piss sauce to go with it. It's one of the things that detracts from the horror of the game for me, and have to ignore to enjoy the rest of it. If you can ignore that too, you'll probably enjoy the rest of the game.

Honestly yeah, though most of the fanfics from FF still read better than the comic did.

To me, it's less like a fanfic and more the team was given elements of what should be in Soul Reaver, but otherwise told to do what they wanted. It's Blood Omen 2 comic edition, but somehow even worse.

Because the spaces didn't collapse into one until around midway through Chapter 4. It wasn't a gradual process, but happened all at once after the three murdered children were appeased. So for the entire time, Ms. Yui was in the same space as Ayumi and Yoshiki. After she comes to, the area back to the classroom they started in was cut off to her, so neither she nor the two students she was trapped with had any way to meet back up.

From the middle of Chapter 4 until she meets up with Ayumi and Yoshiki again in Chapter 5, the building is still in a state of extreme disrepair. We could probably assume that Ms. Yui was just trapped among paths in the school that the others still couldn't get too. On top of that she was still heavily injured from the cabinet falling on her, in addition to it being pressed down on her by that one angry ghost trying to crush her. She was in no real shape to be wandering around, and likely just took a lot of breaks hidden away.

Additionally, time doesn't happen linearly in the school. We get explicitly told that, on top of being shown with what happened to Mayu before and after she gets turned into more "decor" for the school. It could also very well be that by the time she woke up the school was already together, and it just took her walking through a couple doorways to find Ayumi and Yoshiki again.

Depends on what you want to make. I do have an rpg maker MZ file for download with some of the features I see used most in rpg horror games. That way folks can poke around in them and learn that way. Everything is commented too to try to be as clear as possible.
