Yeah and no. Yes, my main save file was saved over because i didn't notice that until I left town, but i have one save file from a few levels ago, shouldn't be to bad to catch up on levels if i beat the fallen again. But thanks, i just wanted to give a heads up.

It does my heart good to hear that you'll be able to continue on, and that it sounds like you intend to. I'd love for you to see those credits roll.

What you need to do is solve the equations. Remember Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally...

Spoiler:

The answers will be 1,2,3,4,5,6. I can't remember which order to do them in, but then you just hit the buttons in that order.

@CPLSeraphim - Thanks for helping out with his question, much appreciated.

@AnthonyD21 - Thanks for taking the time to post your impressions, and for giving Manifest a shot. You're compliments made me smile. For your question, CPLSeraphim answered it
perfectly just above this in his post. I hope you continue to enjoy, and I look forward to hearing from you again.

[AnthonyD21]

Thanks guys i was really tired last night so i couldn't figure it out for some reason.

Thanks guys i was really tired last night so i couldn't figure it out for some reason.

If you were tired from playing Manifest into the wee hours of the night, then you are forgiven =). Please let me know if you ever have any other questions.

[AnthonyD21]

Thanks again im having a problem figuring out

Spoiler:

where trux's bent claws are, and with a puzzle with 6 X's aligned like this


x x x x
x x the colors are blue red green yellow
purple orange


p.s. for some reason i thought the amount of health the yeti had was hilarious. 799999 i fought him for like 20 min and i barely made a dent.

Hello,
I'll post a hint in a spoiler below. For future posts, can you please put anything that might give something away in spoiler tags as well. Thanks

Spoiler:

The order the buttons must be pressed is based on the spectrum of visible light. If you need me to be more specific, please let me know and I'll be happy to give another hint.

[AnthonyD21]

Thanks and sorry about that im kinda new to this.

Thanks and sorry about that im kinda new to this.

It wasn't a big deal, you didn't say anything too spoilerish, and nothing about the story. Thanks for being understanding.

[AnthonyD21]

I just finished the game and it was....well awesome doesn't quite cover it, I'd like to thank you again for the experience. I've put in a few thoughts in this spoiler...

Spoiler:

i believe the ending could've been more climactic, like valkros i think his name was...anyway he could've absorbed the exitium stone or something to that effect for a bigger boss battle and the possibility for another dungeon.

i enjoyed the way the characters grew especially valand armegmus' relationship.the puzzles were awesome the numbered passwords were my favorite especially the last one, i particularly loved the grotto but i believe it had even more potential with some added time challenges and the occasional mini boss something for that little extra oopmf you know?

being able to do a little more after going to "earth" would've been nice i did love the literature you added. I particulary enjoyed thoreau and lincoln's bit most of the literature was very heavy dark and deep,it really helped to grasp their situation.

i disliked the fact that after lvl.50 or so no one gained any new abilities you could've spaced them out more and adjusted accordingly or added some more interesting abilities with more strategic uses.

i enjoyed the nayrin relic redeeming system i got 96 i cant seem to find the other 3 or 4 so i'll need to look at the item list but it gave you something else to do while exploring which was fun and profitable. the snow and bridge builder ones were a real pain but it made feel like i accomplished that much more afterward.

i thoroughly enjoyed the story but it (in my opinion) was missing a little something to get you completely invested like a char. in dire straits or a little more back story with a flashback.

i noticed that in virtually all cases vellamiks ransack ability as long as it hits deals damage, even to the side quest bosses in the forest where you get novirath and efflora. (i learned later that i was supposed to confuse them)

btw Naaxroth was by far the hardest thing in the game besides the yeti maybe... i barely survived it wasnt frustrating just exhausting trying to keep up. ha ha.

i only noticed 1 bug and that was in the 2nd forest when you enter leave and then go right back in you end up stuck in a tree but i was able to "warp" back to the beginning so it was no problem.

well not much more to say except i enjoyed your game immensely and will probably play it again and i will recommend it to my friends thank you for the great game the great story and experience and i hope you will make another in the future. best of luck whatever you choose.

sbethune81, are you still planning on releasing this game unencrypted? also, ARE you working on anything else right now? even something mnor? if not, plans??

[sbethune81]

@AnthonyD21 - Congratulations on beating Manifest, and thanks for playing it through to completion...also for taking the time to leave thorough comments on various aspects of the game. I'm glad you mentioned sharing it with friends, as I'm always trying to get it in the hands of more players.

@Frousteleous - I've been debating back and forth with myself since releasing it encrypted back in October about whether I want to or should release the unencrypted version. I think I'd prefer to give detailed advice/tips to those wishing to build on or recreate aspects of the game. As far as future plans go, there is nothing in the works right now and nothing on the horizon. I haven't given much thought to another game, although I am interested in hearing all about VX Ace when it's released in the states. It would be fun to play around on it, and it might just spark something.

It would be awesome if you did. The main reason I'd want to tinker with it would be to look at the sripts or how you did some of the events; it's easier for me to learn when i look at the gears of a clock than for someone to tell me how they work haha.

and my suggestion to you for a next game then: you're really great with making puzzles and side quests (like finding and killing the monsters) etc so you could start working on a game that was a lot less linear.

I haven't ruled out an unencrypted release yet. I'm just taking my time with the decision =). Thanks for the suggestion about future games, though my favorite part of creating games is
writing the story, and story driven games are naturally more linear.

Dude, I'm only after getting the Exitium Orb, but this game is Amazing!!! (droollllllll) At first I was like 'Uggh, he used RALPH as the main character', but I got used to Armagmus' sprite and I think it kinda suits him now

Liked this on Facebook the second I seen it, so if I get stuck, I'll most likely post there (I'll tell you I'm cobraman228 if the need arises)

I can't wait to see how the story unravels!
