[TAS] SNES E.V.O.: Search for Eden by FatRatKnight in

  • Опубликовано: 9 сен 2020
  • This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
    TAS originally published on 2009-10-26
    In E.V.O. you play as a creature who evolves by eating his opponents. Just like real life!
    We recommend reading the author's notes. They are rather voluminous and contain a great deal of good information.
    --------
    The author's commentary is available as soft-subs in all of the encodes for this movie. A Lua subtitle script is also available in this run's forum thread with the same commentary from the author.

    *Koichi Sugiyama* did the soundtrack for this game. Before I knew it was him who did it, I always thought to myself, "Hmmm... I swear, this is Dragon Quest music I'm hearing.'

      The commentary for this TAS actually has been available since it was published the first time nearly 11 years go, but it is in the form of a Lua script that needs to be run in snes9x along with the movie file. A certain publisher went through the painstaking process of manually converting that script to closed captions for the HD republication of this TAS though...

    The whole rogans arc in the final age is really weird, it feels like they meant to make it longer since the rogan king says you helped the whales, but all you ever did for any aquatic life was encourage it to leave the ocean, but the devs realized too late that the rogans arc would make the final age a bit too long, and just decided to cut it down to "Gaia wants you to fight the rogans" and didn't change anything about the whole whales stuff. They could have tied them to Bolbox too since he's the main antagonist of the final age, and could have said something like "The great one to the north granted us the power of the crystals and let us evolve here in the ocean while the whales were gone" instead of having Gaia say "Please help the whales fight the rogans"
