Reasons why I'm in love with Jake (3)

Heeeeey!! It's been a while, huh?

Sorry about that, but med school has just been soooo time consuming and wasn't able to play even a single minigame. But I'm on vacation now and I'm free as a bird, haha.

So, I'll keep posting this because 1) I love Jake, obviously, and 2) I've been waiting for Moonvale since they announced it and I just can't wait! Fingers crossed we'll see our favorite hackerboy again.

Fourth and probably final part coming soon. ;)

My random 3 am thought fr.

This entire moonvale situation is reminding me of the recent watcher youtube situation. Basically these youtube guys were ex-buzzfeed members who started their own mystery-horror related channel (like buzzfeed unsolved). They made good content and most fans including me were in it for the chemistry between the two guys (Shane and ryan) until recently they announced thar they are leaving yt to start their own subscription platform. Basically all their content behind pay wall. Which obviously caused so so much backlash that they had to apologize and change it. Greed got to them I suppose but it did left a bad taste in every fans mouth.

Same with moonvale, fans getting disappointed by how much this game pay walls you, using cheap ai stuff, and feeling of unsatisfaction. Rightfully the Fandom is voicing it and they are getting backlash.

Moonvale first clue / theory...

Dont read if you dont wanna know!!

A few weeks ago I made a guess at what the new game would be about. I told my guess to other Duskwooders, just out of fun of course!

So... then the name announcement happened... and this...

My guess was... "what if the game is about the murders of the students." It was a post on the dark forum.

Sooo check this out...

And then this...

So you tell me.... Am I right? Or Am I right? 😁😁

Okay, so I feel a bit calmer this morning, even though I still feel very much sad and disappointed with the whole Moonvale thing, but I'd like to share a few thoughts with you all, both bad and good, concerning the game.

And if you know me by now, you also know I can't write short posts expressing myself, so feel free to skip this long post! 😅

Alrighty, so let's begin:

From the moment Everbyte announced Moonvale I was very excited. As Duskwood was an amazing game, I only expected for the new game to be even more amazing. Logical, right? I never expected it to be a Duskwood sequel, and that was absoluetly ok for me, because no matter how much we all wanted and hoped for it, I was more than willing to give the team that made so wonderful and amazing game as Duskwood a chance to amaze me once more. And when they said that Duskwood will be a part of the new game as a side story, that excitement was only getting bigger.

And so here we are, two agonizing years of waiting later, only to be welcomed with this huge disappointment.

When I started with Moonvale, I really took it slowly, exploring everything carefully before even opening the chat and actually starting with the game and the story itself. And lo and behold, what do I see? No possibility for a premium package, but a lot of options for a ridiculously priced packages to buy jewels for, at that moment, who knew what, but I had a suspicion what it was for. Nonetheless, I dissmissed it for the time being, even though it was getting me a bit frustrated, and decided to move on and start with the story.

The story itself started quite good. I even started to laugh at one point realizing and thinking to myself Gosh, those Everbyte people really like the woods! The character/actor of Eric is nice, I like him, even though he seemes to be pretty clumsy! 😄

Now, the actor/character of Adam is probably the one of the rare things that amazed me from the start! His performance was so great, and I think I read it in someones post this morning how someone also thought he looks alike Rami Malek, and that was my first thought, too! Ok, so far not bad at all one would think, right? Wrong!

At first I didn't really pay attention to, or even realized it, but as other characters started to appear in the game, everything started to scream AI. The chats with those characters just didn't really feel right, you know? And I was really appalled by it. I mean, come on Everbyte, did we really come to this? Are you doubting in your capability of creating something great so much, when we know you damn well CAN do it? Or has the usage of AI became so much needed/mandatory ( I don't know what word to put here really or to explain it better), that you cannot do anything without it? Considering so many creators of all kinds are fighting so hard to stop it from being used in everything, I suppose no. But then again, I don't know if my knowledge about it is sufficient enough, but I can voice out my opinion, and I don't like it at all!

Ok, I have to admit, the chat with Ash about us and Duskwood wasn't bad,or the chat between Ash and Charlie about us, but that is all good(ish) I can say about that.

By this time I was really getting annoyed and frustrated, and as some of you might saw one of my post from yesterday, when it gotten really interesting in the story and my insufficient amount of jewels prevented me from seeing some photos/videos, I was so fucking angry and disappointed that I was very VERY close to just drop the whole thing and stop playing. But I continued, just for the sake to finish it.

And when I finally did finish it, not even the last video of Alan's body camera, or the message after that from Jake, lifted my spirit. All I could think of was how sad and disappointed I was. :(

I really expected an amazing and great game from Everbyte, considering Duskwood is one of THE BEST games I have played. But to get money grabbing, AI screaming thing, that was looking so promising...it just saddens me. I know they need to make money somehow, I'm well aware of it, but not like this. Not like this!

Will I continue playing it? Yes, I probably will, but mostly because I want to see how it will continue with the Duskwood sidestory. Also, I read people are considering using the mod pack if/when it becomes available so they can see the premium/special options, but I won't do that. I don't judge anyone here, do what you want, this is just my opinion, but no matter what, I still have respect towards the creators, and using those mod packs just doesn't feel right to me.

So again, yes, I will continue with Moonvale, but neither will I pay for special options (unless they by some miracle make it like with Duskwood, which I doubt but one can hope!), nor will I use the mod pack of any kind. And I really REALLY hope by all thats sacred, that as the Duskwood side story advances, those jewels won't be necessary to use there, because in that case, that's it from me, sayonara/ goodbye/farewell/adios to Moonvale completely. At least I will always have Duskwood.

Thanks to anyone who managed to read till the end! 💚 Take care all, and let's hope that all this won't get any more worse than it already is!

[hacked-by-jake]

I'm so excited for moonvale that I'm getting procrastination paralysis for everything else in my life 🫣 I was supposed to work during the day of the release but my grandfather sadly passed on Monday (fly high 🙏🤍) and I thankfully got some bereavement leave so I can completely engross myself in the game tomorrow. Ain't that some bittersweet luck haha

I wish we had a countdown cuz Imma be refreshing the app store every 5 minutes 😭 but fr imma need to be on my best behavior and not fall for anyone besides Jake during this game (Richy almost got me last time 🫡)

First of all, all my condolences for the loss. It can always be a big cut in life and it’s hard to just live over it, it’s always in the head. I hope you’re doing reasonably well given the situation. 🫂

But I really hope that Moonvale can be a positive and nice distraction and will help you.

I am also glad that your work allows you to take some time off. It's really great to do that.

Yes, I feel you. I also thought they would make make another posts or already showing the trailer or similar. Just a little thing before the release. Maybe today. Of course, earlier would have been great as well. But maybe as little reminder that tomorrow the new case starts for us. But with duskwood, it was the same. They mostly only uploaded the trailer to announce that the episode is out now. And I also guess they have lots of things to do now. Like giving the game the really last cherry on top.

I won't lie, Richy got me in the end. But Darkness as well. Oh, and Alan. Oops. And I'm 100% it will happen again. But the important difference is, that no one got me like Jake. Jake is over everything and everyone. And I'm also sure it will stay this way. Unless they have someone new just like Jake. xD But in my defense, Jake is not the first fictional character on my list and not the last. So it is absolutely foreseeable that it will happen again. And I will never abandon Jake. So as long as he stay on top, even if someone else joins him, he will still he main part of my blog. Hehe.

And I mean, even if Jake won't be part of the main game or whatever it's going to be with his character, he will be included in fanfictions etc. This is a firm assumption.

I still relate to you because even if I know it's not unusual for me, I will feel bad. Because, Jake, our hacker man. Beloved hacker man. Awkward but lovely dork.

I just hope that everything can be brought together well. And please nobody hate me if I fall for another one. 😂

But I keep my fingers crossed that we will get out of the game "unscathed".

As always, it's good to see you here again. It's always wonderful. And I'm sending you big hugs and lots of love. Oh, and of course I hope Moonvale will catch you like duskwood did. And thank you for always passing by to leave an ask. I really appreciate it. Have a great day/evening/night. Take care of yourself and stay healthy and safe! 💚💚🫂

[digital-corruption]

Meh, I've been feeling shitty and needed a decent Moonvale announcement, not a "coming less soon". 😩 Also not exactly promising for episode 2 to be released within a year of episode 1. 😅

[nesqix682]

The funny thing about Moonvale's announcement, that today I had looked at the code of the website and had seen that the last modification was on the 5th of this month, but there is nothing new on the website

Maybe it was for a error

But...

Will they be preparing more things on the page now??? 👀👀👀

[lyon-amore]

That love hate relationship I have with Moonvale because I'm going to play my fourth game

Surely after the fourth gameplay, I will enter daily until they announce the next one and I will play Duskwood to talk to Jake 😭❤️‍🩹

[lyon-amore]

I dreamed that Everbyte announced that they had gone bankrupt and that they no longer had the money to make Moonvale

.....

Later they posted another statement saying it was a joke and that they were just going to take a break for Christmas 😭😭😭

[lyon-amore]

I wish that Everbyte would announce in September what month they will release Moonvale, but surely we will have to wait for the month they will release it 🥹
