THE LSNG DEMO SECRETS COMPETITION

[Arcon]

As you all know, the Legion Saga: Neo Genesis demo release will be somewhere between October-December this year. The Demo alone will house 12 SECRETS, 3 of which can only be acquired through this competition.

For those of you who don't know how the LSNG secrets system works, It's a system implemented so that the players can have some kind of interaction outside the game. Each week a PASSCODE will be given on the website, and a clue as to where that passcode must be activated. Entering the passcode in the right code location will result in you acquiring one of many possible prizes.

These prizes can be:
1) Items
2) Weapons
3) New Areas
4) New Characters
5) Hidden Cutscenes
6) Alternative Endings
7) New Skills
8) New Classes
9) Orbs
10) Aura Armour Attachments
11) Preview for LSNG 2? (Undecided)
12) Preview for other Virtual Dream Studios games.
13) Secret Enemies
14) And much more...

The SECRETs available for winning in this competition will only work on the DEMO and not in the FULL RELEASE due next year, due to the fact that large improvements and perhaps alterations will be made based upon the criticism given by the players.
The secrets you have a chance to win are:

1) AE: Tranquil Hearts Preview (VDS Preview)

2) He Who Is Clouded In Deceit (Cutscene)

3) Djaan Purificus (Boss Enemy)

To win the access codes to the above secrets, you must email me ([e-mail]) with your opinion on what the SECRET CHARACTER will be like. The three best will recieve two of the three codes above and be legible to recieve a special copy of the demo, giving that player a first taste of Kayzor Almaras, the hidden character.

Remember, judgement is not based on the most accurate but the most inventive. It can be as crazy as you'd like just please keep 'some' sense of maturity within your entry. The website will be updated soon, detailing a little more information on the SECRETS system and a short, brief character profile on Kayzor himself. Good luck!

[SMALL LSNG UPDATE: A character replacement was recently made, swapping the character Kobuu with the character, Xander Westring. Also expect more screenshots, including battle ones, during the next week or so.]

Sounds like a good idea as it should increase the games lifespan.
However, I'm a bit lost...
We email you "something" (You never mentioned anything about a secret character as far as I can tell) and then you give us a passcode that we would be able to find on the LS website anyway? Huh?
Please explain how this works again in a bit more detail, please.

[Arcon]

Ack, sorry I was a bit bleak.
Okay, first things first.

The something is a written description or profile OR a piece of artwork (which doesnt need to be all pro). I might judge the artwork and written pieces seperately too.

The passcodes won from this competition won't appear on the website, the ones that do appear on the website will be small insignicant secrets like Item stashes or weapons, whilst the ones obtained from competitions and bi-interactive sidequests (Sidequests that require interaction both in-game and off-game) will be much more rare.

Also, I havent given you information on purpose because I want to see you guys use your imagination. I figure that by giving you a blank slate (with some details on it once the website is updated) I can increase your creativity a little. Or am I wrong?

Hope this clears things up for ya'll. n.n

[The~Inquisitor]

Well, I guess you should give a little info like a basis to this character.

For example:
- Male/Female (If you have too many males, another would just be dull. Same for women.)
- Character type (Coloured/Oriental/White)
- Character class (What are the other characters like, for example if you have a load of swordsmen, you wouldn't really want another...)

Those sort of basic things would be pretty handy. I wouldn't have thought much else is needed as it's just a secret character.

[Arcon]

I think you misunderstand me a little. The character description you give will not become the secret character, for he's already been decided and is probably the most developed character in the game. (I can't tell you why)

Telling you that he's male might be neccessary but the others are for you to use your imagination with. You think he's a swordsman then say so. You think he's a beer-drinking monkey? Say that too. n.n

[The~Inquisitor]

I actually like the beer-drinking monkey thing.
Make him a right bum instead of the old cliché and incredibly boring swordsman.

Ya know, we could also just open up the game.

[devilmaycare150]

..Yes, that could work..but Arcon could make it where you can't do that, as Laxius Power 2 did..and since I'm part of his staff, I can tell him how to do so..

You rock DMC. Anyway, speaking of being staff I've got another job for you (finally, I haven't gotten around to giving them lately). Keep your eyes open for a little message in your inbox. >=D

[Phantom Janus]

That's impossible. Code can not be locked.

[devilmaycare150]

..Well, iisheron sure managed to do it; or find some way around it..

Download Laxius Power 2, or Mana Conquest, I know for a fact you can't open Laxius Power 2 in RM2K unless you mess with the game itself..

[Arcon]

Its very possible to stop others from entering your games and the trick has been around for AGES! I just suddenly remembered it when DMC mentioned it, I remember seeing various tutorials about it all over the place.

[benosalankelley]

i think someone can make hacking tools to get into game, so think about it, make the game, let people enjoy it and stuff. , i do like secrets, and would like to think and think, and try to win some codes and etc. But it would'nt matter, you can't trust anyone these days

[ObviousDelirium]

This thing is a month old.

Don't revive old topics.

[benosalankelley]

thanks for the reminder, i did'nt know. , and yeah, i suppose your going make some smarty comments after, even so you won't, and we can just wait until around for december.
