This may have been the last episode in the series, but it's a pleasure (whenever) I land on any of your marvelous creations. I shall look forward to what else will be birthed from your squidgy grey matter.

I'm glad this is the last thing I'm watching before going to sleep. I'm sure to dream of normal things. Good night!

Hey, this is a pretty fun little game! A bit repetitive, perhaps, but that's alright in this case, I think. I managed to get to the hearts, maybe I'll try getting further later.

Oh, btw. For the "escaping" teeth, sometimes when I click thrice really fast on the same spot, it ends up eliminating them.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

This was simple, creative and fun. I've used Stencyl to create some games too, so it's always nice to see when someone has done it well. Keep up the good work!

Oh hey, I remember this. I was part of the beta testers, quite some time ago. I think it's an interesting game with a lot of potential. I wish you luck with further projects in the future :)

Thanks. Working on a new rendering engine. I won't be around to correspond with anyone
until that happens. Sorry I couldn't finish this. I was a bit too ambitious. But I learned a lot.

This is indescribably beautiful. It causes my mind to wander, in the best of ways. Somehow, your playing reminds me of everything from Joe Hisaishi, French movie music, Cloud Atlas and Russian romantic composers to Chopin, with much more. I don't mean to compare you to others, as you of course have your own distinct style, but at least I've left you in good company.

I'm looking forward to hearing about some of your influences and thoughts behind writing this, at a later point. The composition really makes me turn the analytical part of my mind off, and lulls me into a journey of pure listening and enjoyment. That doesn't happen too easily for me with piano music, so that's already quite an achievement!

Perhaps you'd be okay with sharing the MIDI file with me at some point? I would love to play around with some parts of the piece at some point :3

Best of luck in this round! I shall wait for the results with excitement ^___^

Solacitude responds:

Thank you so much! This comment is extremely meaningful coming from you!

These comparisons! I don't know what to say, it's really heartwarming, especially that you are extremely good at piano! I'm by no mean at a Chopin, Liszt or Rachmaninoff level, and would have to work extremely hard if I wanted to learn many of their pieces, but romantic music did hit me at some point in the beginning of the learning journey. Prelude in E minor by Chopin was my initiation to the genre, discovering magnificent musicality in something so simple was eye opening! We're all inspired by others in some form and we all have our own unique potential style to develop, but being compared to to others when these others are among the greatest piano composers... I won't take it as an offense! :D

Then the influence behind this piece. Maybe I could share a bit of what was affecting my mind in the present during the composition process. There was the good news of getting back into the next round of the NGADM, the good reception of my music in general, way better than expected before, the pressure and excitement of facing you! Of creating something worthy of having a chance against your remarkable composition abilities. Then some bad stuff happened on personal level, and there's this omnipresent war. I may expand on it in PM a little bit along with a midi file :)

This wandering feeling, is what I also get while playing in a more free flowing way. It feels so good! When people listening get it too, even more when it connects with a fellow pianist, it gives all its purpose to share it and only encourages me to continue on this path.

Thank you very much for the kind words and feedback!
Best of luck to you too for this round!
