Back-from-vacation Updates: New manga + Reviews to 2 awesome games!

Hi all. It's been a while and I'm back from my CNY vacation! The vacation had been a fruitful one with the visits to my relatives and everything. In addition, with me still awaiting my results for my next stage of education, this year's CNY is truly the time I could really enjoy myself without much worries!

Here are some photos of my CNY:

Steamboat

Yu Sheng (sry if I spelled it wrong...>.<)
 I understand that nowadays, people tend to use the electrical type of steamboat... One thing is that it is easier to set up than the charcoal type and the other is that it is easier to wash since usage of charcoal means washing the charcoal stains too... However, from what I believe in, I think charcoal type heat up food faster! Also sometimes, the traditional way of cooking food is still better than the advanced type! Okay, that was just some ramblings of mine...>_<

Moving on, over the vacation, I've been working on another project of mine.


Originally, it was supposed to be a short one-shot manga, consisting of around 10 pages long... However, as I drew while thinking of how to bring the story out... I somehow drew around 14 pages and the story has not even reached near the ending at all...Sigh... I can now see why storyboards are important... Name of manga not decided yet and for sure, the cover will be a coloured one so look forward to it!

Hence in a way, I may be putting Tales Project aside to finish this new manga project of mine; kinda put Tales Project on hold for a while.(Reassure the monthly update will still be on!)  This will take effect after I have finished TOD 2 drawings first! I'm left with only 2 characters before it is done!

Here's a small preview of the characters' design notes for the new manga:

Besides been busy with the manga project of mine, I've been hooked by two phone games recently. One of which is Brave Frontier.
This game is a RPG game where you, the player, is a chosen summoner to battle against the God, Maxwell. At the start, you can choose one character which is a summon of the 4 types of elements, fire, electricity, grass and water. There are another 2 more types, light and dark which you'll encounter in later parts of the game itself.

When you start out at first, you can advance the story or the quests until around the last stage of the boss. After that boss called Juggernaut, you may think you've cleared the game... If you do, think again! B'cos there's another map awaits you! And mind you, it's not going to be a brisk walk since the monsters are upgraded and the bosses aren't easy anymore.
IMPT NOTE: Energy is used to do quests. Each point of energy will be replenished per 10 minutes. As one levels up, energy level will sometimes increase but for sure replenished!

Players can acquire new units either through summoning or killing. For summoning, there are two types; rare summon and the honour summon. Rare summon guarantees 3 stars and above units while Honour summon ranges from 1 star to (I guess?) 3 stars. Rare summon requires a total of 5 gems to summon while Honour summon requires 200 honour points to summon. Gems can be bought using real money or gotten from arena rank up, events... While, honour points can be earned as gifts from friends and recruiting friends' or other players' units.



The game has other features such as Town, Arena and Vortex . For the Town, it is where you can harvest materials for synthesizing items that can boost your units or summons. it is also where you upgrade your harvest venues, using karma that can be collected in battle plus creates spheres for your units to carry to boost them!

Town
The Arena is a place for players to fight against each other. The rules are simple. No items usage. If you win, you earn points to get to the next rank and get the award assigned for each rank. If you lose, you lose points which set you further to the next rank. Lastly, one arena orb is used for each battle! Each player has a total of 3 arena orbs that will be refilled at certain a cool down period per orb. And before I forget, each win or loss will be recorded and shown on player profile during selection of opponents to battle against.


Last but not least, the Vortex. It is a place where event dungeons will be held at. Such dungeons will change everyday except for the weekends. Players can choose to take on these dungeons instead of the quests. These dungeons are placed to help players; like the Monday Dungeon in which players can harvest large amount of Karma; much more than in quest mode.

The tricky part about this game is the fusing of units... Units are not like players that will gain exp as they battle. Instead, they have to fuse with other units to earn exp. In other sense, units are 'sacrificed' as exp for other units to grow strong and evolve. Evolve can only happen when a unit has max level and the player has the necessary units as materials plus sufficient money. Evolving a unit will bring the unit to its next level, ensuring a stronger unit!

And that is basically how this game is like. The game is FREE so what are you waiting for? Get it now if you like RPG games! Some gameplays for the hesitating souls:

The other game is called Cytus. It is a musical based game. It has an interesting playing style and best part is that the songs are great!

From chapter 1, I would say Light Up My Love and Retrospective are the two songs I fell in love with!


With that, time to sign off. Before that, a little announcement to make!
NOTE: I'll be away this week until next week, thus no updates for this and next week though I may make a small post on the day where love is in the air!
Till then, ja ne~ This is Will signing off!
