Paused, Aheaded, Towers Too

Recently I made an account on Newgrounds, and today I beat two games which had music composed by one of my favourite composers of all time, flashygoodness: Tower of Heaven and Pause Ahead. On the Tower of Heaven side, I have played the game in the past but gave up around the end. Today I decided to beat it, and it was pretty fun! My patience has improved since, and being able to properly enjoy and master the limits given by the game was fun. The ending was very interesting, and apparently, there's another ending I missed. I'll get all the secrets later. Always been fond of the simplicity of the art style and music, near-perfectly capturing the limitations of the Game Boy (color) and in general looking/sounding beautiful. On the Pause Ahead side of things... holy shit. This game. Pause Ahead ekkjkasjsjksdajhsdojhdjsasdjsa this game so good The game is pretty simple on the surface, the main mechanic being pausing the world while you continue to move around, momentum affecting your movement as well. The first levels follow what any good game does (like Tower of Heaven hehe) and slowly introduces you into the world and the main mechanic before saying "fuck you" and instantly jumping towards kaizo bullshit in the best way possible. The levels get harder. Momentum is taken to the max. Pausing becomes your best ally. This shit was so good. It took me some time to get used to it, but eventually, I fought hard with my patience and got through the game and to the final boss, which took me some time (and a walkthrough sorry) to master, but it felt satisfying to finally beat it and witness the first ending. The first ending, because there's a secret path in one of the levels that leads to one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. The belly of the beast. So, small (so I thought at the time of starting to write this) substory before I continue. Rivals of Aether, a game I knew about for a while before I got to play it and another game flashygoodness composed for (there is even a Tower of Heaven stage inside it! with a tiny remix of one of the original songs, Luna Ascension) eventually got a Definitive Edition, and with it came a ton of new things. The milestone system, new adjustments, un-DLCing the DLC fighters, proper workshop support, etc. It was neat. One thing stuck out to me though. It was a song called Nihil Redux that plays on one of the stages, the Frozen Gate. An intense tune with energy and fear injected into it as if you're in the depths of hell fighting for a chance to live. I fucking fell in love with it from the first few seconds. The constant, unstopping rhythm and beautiful instruments got me hooked, and eventually, the song turned into a calmer, hopeful tune. You've escaped hell. You've managed to survive. and then it loops back to the beginning but tbf it's a stage track of course it has to loop that doesn't mean you're going back to hell lollllllllllllll or does it. After listening to this track like a million times through the in-game sound test, I decided to look it up on YouTube and discovered this little game called Pause Ahead, the original source of this remix. And so it loops back to the primary discussion. Nihil Descent. The original version of this song. I reached the secret level of the game where it plays, the hardest challenge. Two fleshy and difficult paths, both taking the main mechanic to the maximum. It took time, but one by one I figured out things. Pause-cancelling at the right times, patterns, etc. All slowly mastered one by one until I got the second ending.

Also, this happened I guess. lmao. I won't discuss the endings in detail for obvious reasons (play the game ehehe) but one felt great and the other surprised me in terms of story context. Also... yes, the music outside of Nihil Descent (including some tracks by another composer, Bill Kiley!) was great, in case I didn't make it obvious sorry. The art style of the game reminds me of Cave Story, very detailed lineless tilesets and enemies with a little protagonist guy person thing character going through pain and sorrow to hopefully find a bright future. Very inspiring and pretty. Conclusion? good video games is when newgrounds, tiny little thing protagonist and pixel art . yeaaaaaaaaa tower of heaven: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/544332 pause ahead: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/628969 both need the Newgrounds Flash Player to run because flash dead boohoo :( if the writing here was ass: sorry

I've been getting into Rivals of Aether and I've come across the soundtrack for it and WOW it's absolutely amazing!! Emphasis for the song that plays in Zetterburn's stage it's so catchy and it fits perfectly with the Fire Imperium (you could say it's absolute fire)

[fevervoidthing]

"Stratosfear was the evil force that the Star Savior defeated long ago, who was then presumed to be dead. Yet their very essence still lingers here, calling out in distress."

"The way their essence is calling out… It sounds familiar."

[astralprojecting]

I'm currently prepping for an Eidolon game I'm going to run in a week or so. Which at this point mostly means coming up with fun eidolons + powers. This ofc led to me drawing some classic "stand/eidolon/persona, and it's user" shots.

explanation of eidolons and a couple more pics under the cut.

So the two I've drawn out today are of two of my favorite songs. The first one is "Indignant Divinity" off the Tower Of Heaven soundtrack.

I'm picturing this as a Conductor-type Eidolon where the user sets 'rules' that everyone in the area (including themself) must follow. If those rules are broken, the rule is voided, and the first person that broke it is 'Cursed' in some karmically appropriate way. (e.g. a rule of "don't move" being broken leads to some kind of speed penalty // or being made so fast that it's hard to control yourself)

This second one is based off of Moth Like Me, by Guerilla Toss

The power I had in mind for this one feels appropriately weird, but I was a little unsure on what playbook to give it. Ultimately I settled on Alchemist, This Eidolon transforms any 'light source' it touches into 'a tractor beam that explodes when it's touched'

I like the idea that besides the straightforward use of tagging a spotlight or a flashlight pointed at an enemy to put them in danger, the user could also use this ability on light sources facing them for mobility , though having to be careful they don't accidentally blow themselves up.

Bonus Eidolon:

Me and a friend of mine were chatting about other eidolon ideas, and the song "Smoke Two Joints" came up.

"My Eidolon: Smoke Two Joints obliterates its enemies by burning off Two of their limbs at the Joints everytime I Smoke Two Joints."

Pov: ur fuckin dead kiddo

URL Song Game

Got tagged by one of my mutuals (@maddiethesapphic) to do this game, but the original post was lagging my computer, so I decided to put the songs on a separate post here!

It was quite a challenge picking out my favorites; even with just these letters there were a lot of good candidates! I'm also curious to see if anyone actually checks these out or recognizes them, because honestly I'm pretty eager to get to share some of my music tastes! I will say though, it's pretty all over the place in terms of genre and sources...!

Oceanic Breeze

Rivals of Aether

Composed by flashygoodness.

Orcane, the water spirit of Joy, returns from Rivals of Aether to Rivals 2!

As one of the original four rivals, and the definitive water rival, Orcane has been a long awaited character to return.

This piece is what I'd call Orcane's unofficial theme, which has a pretty chill melody and composition that feels like a seaside village.

you may be able to tell I get a lot of my music from hearing it in a video game first, plus words can sometimes get too distracting if I'm trying to work while listening

as for people to tag........ @computervsworld, @dragongirltongue, @nsane99, and @gayrobotclub if you wanna join?

One day I should really learn about and get an understanding of music composition

Partly because it's just...a decent skill set to have, in general [especially with the endless "I wanna make a video game!" thoughts in my head]

AAAAnd partly because I wanna make a YTPMV for Brickworks from Bean Dreams

I've already seen a handful of YTPMVs for two other Bean Dreams songs, being Fortune Fields and Fun Factory, which are stellar songs too...I mean basically all of Bean Dreams' songs are in general—hell, everything by flashygoodness is top tier [as a reminder, they composed the soundtrack for Tower of Heaven, and likewise the song for the Tower of Heaven stage in Rivals of Aether]—but Brickworks is really good, especially the ending bit before the loop, and it's a shame it got slept on in the YTPMV department
