Taking the topic off Sprite for the moment, at least until @AngelofDeath720 gets back and goes on a fangasm now that someone gave him a reason to do so.
Has anyone heard ofSilverio Vendetta? Probably not, since it won’t be out until tomorrow, but I found myself with an extra hour earlier today and it looked interesting enough to give a shot, so I downloaded the demo and played it for a while.
for the most part, the demo was pretty good. the characters are decent enough, the art is passable, and the scenario so far looks really interesting; but there was one HUGE thing that stood out to me and actually makes me want to play it on release: the music.
About 5 minutes into the VN you start to hear Vendetta(who I’m assuming is the main heroine) sing. What caught me off guard, was that the song kept playing, even when Vendetta was speaking. A bit later she started humming a different song, and it was only about 2 minutes into that when I realized that this was the background music. No instruments, just one character singing. Of course, this made me really interested, so I started paying a lot more attention to the music; but when the music changed I was disappointed to hear the normal slew of instruments. Though moments later she started humming along with the instruments. A few songs like this later and a battle broke out, and I thought “there’s no way she can be in this song too, you can’t really sing along with epic battle music like this.” But you know those oddly angelic voices that sometimes appear in the background of really epic music? Yep, that was her. She literally brings a vocal element to almost every song that was played in the demo, and I think that’s actually a really interesting lever to play with in a VN that I’ve never seen before.
