SBESTER'S PROFILE

I've been an active member for quite a few years now. I started my RMN career by releasing the Eden Legacy Trilogy of games (each entry took 4 months of nonstop work) within one year, and I've gradually shifted to creating other games as well. I now have 3 flagship series: Eden Legacy, Fragile Hearts, and Mafiosi (being remade for commercial release as Crime Opera). I'm pretty much solely focused on the Crime Opera series of visual novels right now, as my band and job currently take up most of my free time.

Currently working on
-Crime Opera Trilogy (Mafiosi 1, 2, & 3 edited, with all original resources)
-It's a secret...
Crime Opera II: The Floo...
The kids have grown up, and they're becoming quite dangerous.

Just one more turn of the wrench.

Idk,but if it is, I've been in bad form for a few years lol

Just one more turn of the wrench.

Blast! You've beat me to a release this week! lol

Blog #3- Book 1 nearing completion!

Chapter 6 is now complete. On to the editing process, and then I'll release the download!

~Memories Neverlasting~

Ugh, me too. I want to get back to it eventually, my band's taking up most of my free time though :(

The inevitable is happening.

2 weeks? It's been 2 years!

Blog #2 - Progress so far

The Rare/Obscure RM Games Request Topic

I have Dooms 1, I don't think it's new the updated version though...
It freaked me out a bit, might be worth a try. I'll see about uploading it later.

Blog #2 - Progress so far

Work is still slowly being done. I'm partly through chapter 4 :)

TMNT Trailer

I prefer the animatronic turtles of yesterday. I actually thought they were gonna go in that direction again, but nope. The CGI for their faces looks like something out of Shrek.

The worst thing to me is Shredder though. Instead of a Japanese ninja fighter, he's some white dude who controls a black ops team or whatever. Is this costume magically gonna give him ninja fighting powers to be able to take on all 4 of these 8-feet tall (assumed 400+ pound) turtles? No? No.

EDIT: Mikey looks like Sid from Ice Age. Look at him in the final frame.

Suikoden III is so bad it makes me rethink ever touching a PS2 RPG ever again. And I have like 12 I still need to beat lol

To each their own, but I personally can't find one thing I like about it. The things that stick out in my head the most are:

-The slow walk speed
-The big, empty areas, coupled by the fact that it doesn't let you explore big dungeons, but instead opts for the long linear paths found in FFX.
-The world map. Again, there's really nothing to explore on your own anymore, it's just go here, here, or here.
-Stats. I leveled up my characters 15 levels from the beginning, trying to save some money by rarely upgrading equipment. Their stat increases did absolutely nothing. I still died a few times in the first dungeon at levels 25, 24, and 25.
-The graphics. I'm not a graphics whore by any means, but compare it to the previous entry, and it looks like a downgrade. The big empty areas do nothing to help.
-The dialogue is really badly done. It's probably the translation (one can hope), but wow.
-No real direction is ever given (granted, this is a staple of the series).

I probably haven't played enough to judge the story fairly, and music is entirely subjective, so I won't go into that. However, the whole game just feels completely unfinished to the point I've reached, like maybe half finished at most.
