Took WAY too long, but that's more due to my badness than anything else. What now? ....... Oh God. Oh Christ. Oh dear. Oh no. I made it. Here it is. The infamous chapter that I've heard so much talk about. The one known only as... Lever Hell. If Lever Hell is in VS2, then what was this one?

BrightBow Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Nothing too fancy here, but this looks like a nice new sprite for the lovely Adelaide. Sujata and Ashuram also have their VS2 palettes now. I think they had generic palettes in the original version. Not to mention Sujata was a Swordmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the map sprite of the few witches that appear in VS2. Certainly fitting. 1 minute ago, BrightBow said: Sujata and Ashuram also have their VS2 palettes now.

Looks like they were updated to look just like they do in VS2. Neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) So what was it again, an update patch, a separate remaster version...? Edited June 14, 2022 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Remaster. Most certainly looks lovely. Though hard to imagine it's gonna get localized. I mean, it's one thing for freeware, but how do you market something like this if you need to actually sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 And that guy next to Zade has to be Theo. Also looking a bit different now. Also who the heck does not have Lilia promoted by the time of chapter 18? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punished Dayni Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 So wait, for VS1R is it likely that they won't bother localising? After all the trouble of getting VS1 done to begin with, only for this to be made and it just be left all the way over there? Personally kinda miffed. If the remaster is intended as a superlative version to the original as a predecessor to the upcoming VS2, then any events unique to that are stuck on this region locked remaster and could end up causing trouble for someone casually playing VS2 after VS1. If it doesn't alter anything major story wise, it raises the question of why it was done. Don't worry about pointing to the differences here, I do get they made some gameplay and graphical changes besides. 12 minutes ago, BrightBow said: I mean, it's one thing for freeware, but how do you market something like this if you need to actually sell it? I mean, there were people as idiotic as me to get the original apparently. I realise the cost on VS1 was localisation, but it seems to me like a weird argument to make for a game that is being charged for to begin with. It would seem that being up front about differences would at least help people understand what the hell is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 VS2 has been out for years, at this point. I think it was 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing certain, but he didn't deconfirm it either. ...Still, yeah, you make a good point. A simple remaster of a rather obscure freeware game whose original version was already localized a few years ago is something that would sell like, 10 copies lol. Hard to spin that into something economically viable, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 If the changes aren't that much, ideally they'd just patch it onto the original. But well, that's the ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Okay, so I've made some progress through Lever Hell. Honestly? So far, I don't really get why they call it Lever Hell. This isn't anywhere near the likes of the usual "hell" maps, like Kitsune Hell or Ninja Hell. Heck, it's not even as much of a headache as VS1 chapter 20! The levers are super random, for sure, but so far the map maintains a nice rhythm. Hopefully this keeps up and Kaga doesn't drop like, a final boss on top of me for pulling the wrong lever.

A way I'll 100% jokingly consider, as I drove somnolently drunk with eros today. I told myself to sober up quickly, but I couldn't. The entire first half of the trip felt not good, even if I didn't make any mistakes. The return half I did have a clear, more alert mind for. But, as soon as I got back, the sobriety started to fade again. I'm a mess. Why did I have to stumble minutes ago on a developer-developed FPS mod that recolors all blood splatters in the game to Male Secretion White too? Can't I get a break?😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
