Bonuses

Every once in a while, I would post a few bonus images in the Storytime of Epicness
thread at Platformers.net. And sometimes, I would get some fanart from people.
Here, I've gathered these up and organized them by what day or night they appear in.
If you haven't read so far ahead, there may be spoilers in the bonuses, so tread lightly.

Day 2

MEANWHILE, IN ANOTHER POSSIBLE DIMENSION, AN ADOLESCENT BIRD KEEPS HIS MASTER COMPANY.

NOT THAT THIS HAS ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO ANYTHING.

Day 4

From Kyou:

Fan tributes! You have pleased me, my dear audience, and therefore you get a present. These are a few images that I never used. One is when I expected to go into the city and the other is meeting the ladies from another angle.

Day 5

Woo! I got my 1000th reply and 10 000th page view! This calls for bonuses!

I... have now produced 200 images for this thread. My... hands... ache...

But there's still celebratory action!

This is a map of the area with the path you have taken. It's not a complete map; features may pop up as they become important. Not to scale etc. :tongue: And the sun and moon never show up in the right direction, so ignore them.

And here's a bit of clarification on how I tend to choose responses. Some of you enjoy simply reading this thread, some participate to see if I will go with a crazy response, and some participate because they really want to know what happens and get a good ending. I don't want people to change how they respond, but for those of you who prefer the serious route or really want to be chosen, I'll roughly outline my priorites in choosing responses.

Eyes5 might choose a response if:

-it's made early. I like to get started on a new update asap and sometimes as I'm drawing new responses pop up and it's too late to change things.

-it's repeated from a previous update. This shows that the poster is really serious about his/her response and I'll give it more consideration.

-people quote it or say something similar. Although I have ultimate godly power, this is your game and I will usually choose something that I hate if everyone wants it. But with great power comes great responsibility! I nearly chose the "DEATH BY SNU SNU" option because you jerks wanted it. :sweat:

-it's the only response. And if I hate that response, that's usually when I go begging for other suggestions. D:

-you don't play very often. New people catch my eye and I try to select responses from those that are not chosen very often.

-it's specific and detailed, yet simple. The command '>RUN!' is pretty vague and I will instead choose '>Run under the bridge!' However, if you say '>Run under the bridge while brandishing your weapon, leap over the 15 motorcycles, kill the bad guy, and swim ashore.' then I'll probably reject it. If I do choose it, I'll just follow the first one or two instructions and ignore the rest.

-it works. Since I'm the only one who knows if an answer 'works' or not, this isn't too helpful to you. But even random stupid responses sometimes 'work' and so I go with them to spice things up.

-I like it.

So don't be discouraged if your answer didn't get selected; there may be a number of reasons for it. Those who get their responses chosen usually are those who reply often enough to hit the nail on the head a few times.

Day 7

20000 Pageviews! This calls for bonuses!

This is a little something I whipped up a long time ago.

This is something I whipped up rather recently. Huuh... What a strange scene, but I like it. This is what will happen if you get yourself killed near the Beastmaster. Be careful because it still might happen!

Night 7

These are character sketches of people that may or may not show up in the future. Although you don't know who they are, they've already been mentioned somewhere in the story.

I was gonna do a nicely polished bonus image in celebration of the 2000th post, but I got distracted and now I don't feel like finishing it. Here's what I have to show.

FANSERVICE!

Day 8

Here is a bonus image that resulted from the chaos that is the Sketch Battle thread (at Platformers.net forums). In case you haven't seen it yet:

Also, the prelude to the previous image from Kyou:

From exit:

Night 8

Hey! I hit 30k pageviews! Bonus time!

This is Teno.

From Typhus:

Day 9

IN CELEBRATION OF THE NEW THREA- I MEAN, DAY, A STRANGE AND ETHEREAL BONU- I MEAN, MENTAL IMAGE POPS UP IN YOUR MIND. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? YOU DECIDE NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT. YOU HAVE MORE PRESSING CONCERNS.

Wtf, Polago?

From Kyou:

Day 10

This is a test image that turned out horribly. Aaaah I can hardly look at it. D: It was supposed to be Teno when she was getting beaten up by Master Infer.
