Duplex ~ Go for it, start a new topic about anxiety ^^ If you make it a general topic others can discuss their tips and probs. I suffer from it too so it's always nice to try share some wisdom

 

As for me, lets see... well in January I officially left SEGA to start my own art company. So now I'm a full time freelance artist for lots of companies and people. It's kinda cool being freelancer because it means you can work for all sorts of companies and industries without being tied down to one thing, so my job changes a lot day to day. This also makes it a bit scary though. Very up and down. I also had to learn a lot about running a business and dealing with all the financial bits just from research online. It's all great though, very satisfying. I get paid for drawing cartoons :3 I tend to think of this most when I'm eating breakfast and realise 'hey this toast was supplied by art!' ... 'that's... weird'.

 

I moved house again in July. I feel a bit moved in now, but i still have furniture to buy and things i need for the office. Working from home is cool but it means less space in your room. I think right now my dream is to have actual studio space to rent.

 

There's tons of things i want to do now. So many projects i want to try my hand at.

 

Trying to get back into the community as a fan since i'm now able to. Now I can just speak my opinions and EXCITE again, haha.

Really looking forward to getting this place all nice to be again

LOL Duplex, your nag made me feel superguilty to get this done this week. SO give yourself a thank you from me, thank you. All bloody day me and Myst have been at this haha. But it's all up now, so I'll just let people get homely again before I start tweaking the rest

*boogie*

 

I'm still needing to get a wired controller so i can play my copy of NiGHTS on Steam.

 

.... I wonder if there's like a seperate league for NiD Steam keyboard users.

*random hugs for you all*

 

how've you all been and stuff? Been up to anything exciting? I don't follow everyone on Facebook or Tumblr so I like to catch up

 

I'm glad the forums are open again. I mostly live on Facebook and Twitter these days and am pretty much chained to my art desk for work (I'm self employed now @~@) but I'll try be around more here. I want to be a fan again and ENJOY things without having to watch my P's and Q's too much lol.

 

This month is so busy for me with work I'm surprised my head hasn't fallen off yet. But yup, i'm still here. And still happy to see any fans visit the website ^^/

XD hahah first thing Infractus does is break the links on the main menu XDDD

 

GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK <3

Cool! Glad to hear it. I've not ventured into my email admin account since early this year because of business stuff getting in the way (hence why i need people to help out so the website doesn't turn into a dinosaur like me )

 

I'll add all the people who contacted me to the potentials list. But out of those people who already contacted me it'd be useful to know who's still cool for helping so I don't bother anyone who is busy now.

 

Cheers!

As i mentioned a while ago we'll be needing staff to help out with the forums and upkeep of the website itself.

 

For the  .com this means-

Regular article updates

Regular content uploads

Up to date sections and menu sorting

 

 

^All of those things are good for the fandom. I'm at the point in my career now where I'm so busy I really realy need help with the website. I want it to be a great place for the fans.

 

If you're interested in helping out in some way or think you have the responsibility and maturity to be part of our little team then let me know below and I can contact you further about it.

 

PS) Since I'm not sure how much work needs to be done I can't promise everyone a job, but I'll pick the best folk for the job who I think suit the roles

sorry to go a bit offtopic for a second but I just realised that with Sonic Teams character designs - Puffy- is the only overweight large character that isn't portrayed as being stupid/slow. She's so cool! X) Puffy love +10

So who's feelin happy then? I'm still kinda stunned to be honest. I mean I know NiGHTS gets cameos in a lot of Sonic games but wow. This is a maaajor thing. Probably on par with with the pinball table from Sonic Adventure 1.

 

Just so you guys know, i'm absolutely clueless about this whole thing so I'm as speculative about everything like you. I played the game last year a long long time ago, but nothing like this. And obviously i can't talk about that so yeah no questions there. But regarding the the NiGHTS content, i'm wondering how it's going to pan out.

 

It doesn't look like typical skinswap stuff that lazy companies do. It looks like proper full on DLC thats actually worth preordering for. Though even if it was skinswaps though I think i'd still be happy, just because, NiGHTS stuff, c'mon!

 

I'm guessing from looking at the screencaps SEGA put on their Flikr but it seems like you fall down a tunnel towards Wizeman with some kinda portal at the end (it's behind him). Maybe this is like the only area you collect rings to fight each boss or something and when you reach the end you fall into a different arena? It made me think of Transformed a little.

The boss arenas have the same theme but appear to be in different layouts.

 

I'M HOPING but not expecting for there to be an actual reason storywise (not just fanglee) for it to be a thing. I can think of tons of reasons and good ways it could tie in. But i'm probably expecting too much for a fun free DLC bonus XD;

 

... also i wonder if the music will be remixed, or one song, or the classic boss themes?

 

Seeing the bosses who didn't appear in AST get a graphical update was amazeballs. Jackle looks incredible!!

 

ermagerd, i could fangirl about this all day.

 

Let us all assume the seating positions and SPECULATE MADSTYLEZ.

ALL PLATFORMS. FULL POWAH.

This reminds me though, i haven't bought it on PS3 yet.... i need to steal Suzy's PS3 >_> I'm better on PS3 for NiGHTS.
Holding out for the PC version too since seeing it

I think it happens in the Saturn version.... or i might be totally imagining it. Did it? @_@
The first time i heard it in this port though i burst out laughing because i liked the little trills they do at the start/end of both tunes XD;;; It's so adorable (And bloody noisy with headphones on lawl)!

When they sing Silent Night it always makes me feel SERIOUSLY christmasy.

Hey dude i know that feel. I started off collecting merch but ended up giving bits of it away, like my comics, because it's kind of like absorbing all the enjoyment you can from the things you love and being able to retain it without having to see it anymore. It's definitely a growing older thing. It was nice to read your thoughts on it <:3

Didn't the poster come from Famitsu? I seem to remember that being said somewhere when you first posted it ages ago.

lol don't be so dramatic dude, it's coming and I know this because DiGi's working on it and I know the actual release date. An announcement will happen soon I promise.

apparently you can on XBLA though. Not sure why, but still XD;

Hey guys,

just a friendly reminder to give star ratings to the port I'm not sure how rating works on PSN, but for XBLA you go to the game purchase page (or) your game collection page and give it 5 stars.

It may seem like a small thing but sometimes having a good star rating and reviewer rating can sway people into buying the game who are new to it. So use all your profiles and rate rate rate.

Consider that an order, lol. *whipwhip*

Announced today ~ NiGHTS into dreams… will be hitting PlayStation Network on the 2nd of October for $9.99 and Xbox LIVE Arcade on October the 5th for 800 Microsoft Points. An incredibly worthwhile purchase considering that the rare and amazing Christmas NiGHTS also comes included as a free bonus! That's right, it's not DLC, it's free. How great is that? NiGHTS as a stand-alone game had tons of replay value but Christmas NiGHTS was always the icing on the cake. I know a lot of fans who have never had the chance to play Christmas NiGHTS on the Saturn due to the difficulty in finding a copy as it was never for sale as a buyable game. Christmas NiGHTS was an extra disk that Sonic Team decided to give out for free as a Christmas gift. Consider it a DLC expansion pack before DLC ever existed on consoles, lol. Gamers could only get a copy by buying certain Saturn bundle packs or free from a couple of gaming magazines (or Ebay of course). So this is a great chance for new fans to experience a little festive spirit.

Christmas NiGHTS looks amazing in HD updated graphics. If you don't believe me wait until you're whizzing around the screen with a ton of crystal clear HD multicolored sparkles in your eyes chasing high scores to beautiful beautiful music (trying your hardest to not kill all your Mepians haha). There's a reason a lot of us still hook up our Saturns every Christmas to play this game. I'm so glad that a new generation will get to experience this lovely gift. It meant a lot to Sonic Team back then and it still does now.

It made me pretty tearful when i got to play it in the office for the first time… lots of fond memories of many Christmas holidays gone by.

Do me a big favour and buy this port when it comes out. In fact buy it as a Xmas gift for a gaming friend! They'll appreciate it, trust me. Christmas NiGHTS is a classic and memorable beautiful experience.
Not long to wait now guys. It'll soon be time to fly again

The camera seems to be centered on her rather than facing forward. I couldn't see where I was trying to throw her half the time, so that's something that definitely needs fixing...

This was something i reported early on, but they said it was from the PS2 code and they couldnt fix it. (Legacy). It's considered a difference and not a bug. This happens a lot with ports. Unless it causes the game to crash it's prioritized into something minor. Though i do think that not being able to see where to throw the boss IS a problem still for new guys e_e Keep at it though, you'll figure it out. Think of it as an extra challenge, lol.

If you REALLY REALLY want an old topic brought back from the dead, then let us know in this thread here and it'll be considered.

i burnt my thumb. with a hair curling iron.

I AM SO DERPY.

god it hurts >_<

That's a really good theory actually. Level grade dependant before the boss fight. Hmmmm.

I want a bit of discussion here because there's something I've ALWAYS wondered about regarding the bosses in NiD (and the port).
THE BOSSES.

Do they have score reflective AI?

I'm not crazy right?

RIGHT?

XD;

Reason i'm asking is because i always seem to get my ass kicked more when i have a really high Nightopia score. It's like the bosses get harder when you're doing better?
Or am i failing more at the bosses just because i'm too focused to kill them faster?

Is it only me who gets their ass handed to them by Jackle for no reason when i have a great run through the dream?
He knows man... HE KNOWS D:<

Thoughts plz.

yeah i got it fixed, it was bugging me.

I understand your want to have it on ALL the things. Trust me I want it as a Vita/iOS title (completely impractical though because of lack of shoulder buttons). Loads of people keeps saying 3DS (not my personal cup of tea). But stuff happens for reasons or another and it's one of those things that if you want something you have to go ask for it and get enough people behind you. Make a noise in the official SEGA forums or send in paper letters to SEGA. I'm not entirely sure what the download situation with the Wii U is. But if its something you feel is worth having then do your best to get it. I'm pretty much done with campaigns from now onwards, so i wish you the best of luck.

FYi Malan is doing a very cool Livestream of the original Saturn game using debug on Thursday. It will be your chance to ask questions and get a close look at what it can do. He will also be showing off one of the old betas.

 

Use this topic to discuss ~ and thanks to Malan!
