@DerVVulfman. Thanks. That worked just like I needed.
Also, I just realized we can't thank posts anymore and that online/offline icons no longer show up. That last bit may be just in my end, though.

"Underneath the Rotting Pizza"
Written by Nobuo Uematsu
Performed by Kain Nobel
I meant to get this out by/before Halloween but BUSY BUSY BUSY.
Aside from that, when I went to upload it the other night, it wasn't going.
Since I was late for Halloween, I'll go ahead and post another...
"Hostile Environment"
Written and performed by Kain Nobel
This is the heavy metal live instrumentation version of the main battle theme in Belly of the Beast.
So the album is coming along. I was going to delay releasing track but since I was late for Halloween I figured I'd go ahead and post it.
This is a rough demo, I'll try to balance out the tone and the mix better. If I have to, I'll re-record it all because I want the best listening experience. People love grungy grimy heavy metal so maybe I'm just too self critical. Meh, whatever, let me know what ya'll think. If I should leave it as-is, I will. If I should go back and try to improve it, let me know, it's nothing for me to re-record this track (it's fairly simple).
Very little post production magic was applied, maybe a little EQ to balance things out, but it's a fairly raw set of recordings with minimal fancy editing other than applying some fade in / fade out / silence to the original DI. If MetalRenard is in the house, I'd love to hear some of his input since he's fairly experienced with the heavy metal guitar tunes. \m/

Outside of the one Surreal Difficulty, Haven and Zirkov are both done!
In addition... Postmartia, outside of two more intense events, is also done!
Just 39 events remaining.
Here's some previews!

Postmartia

I also did this small optional event cinematic for one of Postmartia's events which needed the gravitas.
Polaris Arrival
That's all for now~!

Holy BEAST MODE Batman!
Sometimes I see these posts and I'm just dumbfounded on what to say, you put in some work O.O
I do have a copy of your game downloaded, I'm trying to make a note to play it before the year's end.
"Technocratic Nightmare (Draft)"
Written and performed by Kain Nobel.
So I just barely got around to cutting and cleaning up the music recordings.
I've noticed a couple issues so pieces of this track may get re-recorded and the video re-issued at a later date.
Also, I'll need to clean the face up. I look like I worked a hard day.
Just like this track, there are tiny bits and pieces of the album that need work, but as a whole it's becoming quite an experience.
Have a great weekend and hopefully ya'll like the track, enjoy!

It only gets easier as the number of events gets smaller and smaller.
There are 16 events I won't touch until I get all other events done, the events which have anything other than 'Easy' in their difficulty. These will be the hardest and most advanced events, as most of them are boss fights or obstacle courses. What this means is that there are only 21 events left in the easy scenes / obstacles department!
That said, I have little over a month to get it ALL done, so it's gonna be tight. I'm hoping to have all of those 21 scene events done by the 9th, which means more than 3 events per day! more than doaable, but still won't be easy!
That will give me 21 days to work out the biggest behemoths of all. Giving over a day for each. Which I will sorely need!

If you can wait until December, I can give you the Delta Build or you can wait until Demo 3's release, either way, you probably won't need that old version any longer. :D

I agree with Kain. The way you work and more importantly finish those events is really awe inspiring.
In the opposite side lies yours truly. I have a bad habit of working on maps, then leave them half finished as I move to other maps only to come back later and realize I completely forgot how the events were supposed to play out.

Oh yeah, got another eight done, bringing me down to 31. Only 15 of the easy events left.
I finished all but one of Zen Nekoma's events, knocking out six in a single night. A new record! I also did another optional cutscene for the finale.
Then just last night, I got two of Nadine's events done.
One of them I even have a video of~!
Please forgive the Placeholders! Gomenesai!
Here's some screenshots of just some of the things you haven't seen in these vids!

With that, I will shuffle off~!

Welcome to Jungle! We got fun and games!
I've added the "swinging wall of spikes" trap and the "sticks and leaves covering a hole" trap.
Will be adding some running and chasing parts with occasional "Charlie's toothpicks" sticking out of floors and walls for the player to get impaled with.
If you have a pair of prescription glasses they are recommended because some of these traps are hard to see...
...Until you wind up in a hole or with a face full of spikes!
The walk, sneak, crawl and run system is active in this area. The player is tasked with getting to [TOP SECRET DESTINATION] and will have to bypass (or assault with furious anger) the enemy checkpoint which is staffed by a bunch of killer "Charlies" (foot soldiers).

Nice, that fireworks video was pretty awesome.
On my end, I finally decided to prioritize working on the main quest. I am leaving most of the optional stuff shelved for now.

Thank you~! The fireworks are a werble my friend Phoenix had on file and she gave me it when I asked. With some color modifications and the usual chroma keyer for greenscreen they worked splendidly!

Good call. I always do main story content first before I worry about side stuff.
Speaking of side stuff.
27 Events remaining. Got Nadine's events finished last night.
I have only 9 scenes left, then the rest is those crazy battles or obstacle courses.
Pjcr
Got four more Xeltara, leaving only two before I can animate the facial expressions and implement them in game..

So that's pretty cool!
Oh yeah... Screenshots time!

I shall see if I can't get the last nine scene events done over the following 24 hours.
