HEY Asa made NUKELAND and it rocked :D
You liked it, Clest?

Ah, you only liked it cause' it had Frog in it. :)
LOL not really, I like it because it had a bathroom, which is coherent, unlike those long RPGs with no damn bathroom through the whole world... I imagine how unclean their cities must be... o.o Also you had lots of cruel comments in there, like the guy talking about fish and my favourite: The neon Dog-man :P

Really priceless XD

HEY Asa made NUKELAND and it rocked :D

Nukeland gives you a look inside Asa's inner mind. I think that's why I liked it so much. It has his unique flair all over it. <3 Asa has made a small something other than that *gets hit on the head with a flying keyboard* but I have to keep my mouth shut about it. I think he should put it up here, personally. But I just march to the beat of my own drum anyway.

I've made Odysessy, which is the only thing I have out. D: It's all RTP, save a few sprites. I need a scanner so I can put in my original character designs and artwork into it. Well, *looks at devART account* at least it would be original... XD I would really like to have Pyra's sprite actually look pregnant *grunt*. Yeah, my main female character is pregnant. You don't know what until she tells you, so maybe it's better... *thinks. head explodes*

Wow, you are like a 1950s house wife. I can see the whole feminist movement went right over your head. : )

Not entirely. I'm lazy. 1950s women would be scared to death of videogames! Well, most women are now, if my assumptions are correct. -_-

Either way, no. My children mean much more than any dream job could. I have priorities. I don't want to be like my mom - she left me and my brother out of the blue. My children need their mother to be with them, not a super awesome video game making mom that may or may not pay them any mind.

Though the sound of having a "super awesome video game making mom" does sound like it has a particular flair about it.

Inside Suzu's imagination:

My daughter: "What's your mom do?"
Some kid: "She's a secretary. What does YOUR mom do?"
My daughter "My mom helps make video games. She designed the characters for *insert RPG here* and helped with the story."
*some kid craps his pants*
Some kid: "Can she come to Parent Day?!"
If someone discovered you (i.e. they played whatever you have made and released on this site and LOVED IT) and was going to employ you, would you be willing to uproot your life (and family, if applicable) and move halfway across the world, risk a pay cut and loss of benefits, to follow your dream? Like if John Q. Professional Game Developer game to your house today and said, I have played and I absolutely loved it, and I want you to join my team, in Timbuctu, Oregon, with an entry level position, we have to leave tomorrow, would you do it?

Nah. That's not what I want. I will build my own company, MY OWN games!
Suzu: You and Asa are the most cute couple ever, and with kids (btw, saw the pic of you and your daughter, really cute girls you both, with all respect - so Asa don´t come flying kicking my head off o.o) just curious to see how he looks like too :P

And I think I will try your game tonight, just finished Beloved Rapture demo last night which Blind Mind wanted me to review.

And Pyra pregnant? I can easily get that for you, just need her actual sprite and to know how many months/how big her belly must be :) And oh, you got a DA account? what is your user name there?:P Or just check mine and send a note and I will find you back (link in sig) underneath all the robots, guns, ships etc I still got some furries and cuteness in there if you check older pages XD
I would do it even if it were, as Harmonic put it, in fucking Baghdad. However I am very dissatisfied with my life. I welcome the loving arms of the grave and the tender kisses of maggots.

I hope one day to also be an awesome mom. : D my mother is a programmer, though, and a trekkie... she met my dad at a tabletop game he wrote.

So I've never experienced women as game-fearing... maybe I just run with a weird crowd!

But yeah, you have the right idea, and seem like you'll raise some really good human beings.

I'd say you run with the right crowd, then!

And... thanks for the vote of confidence! I've gotta help raise em'... we're both stay at home parents, after all.

That's pretty sweet. I've always admired guys who have the cahones to help raise kids. For example, my favorite teacher in high school left for a year when his wife had their baby. She was an anesthesiologist so made more money and couldn't take off from work as easily, so he did the stay-at-home stuff. Lots of guys can't feature doing something like that.

Congrats to you both, again.
It doesn't take cojones. It takes a special kind of insanity, ha ha!

Seriously, the lil one is too curious for her own good. You've no idea how many mini-heart-attacks we have each day! I love my lil' Annie, though. She makes me
one big drooling idiot.

Curiously, I am also a teacher on sabbatical!
Just checked the pic Asa, you look like a nice guy as much as I could tell from your posts/mirc :) You remind me of a younger version of Dr.Light for some reason XD (take it as a good thing :P)

And yeah, you two seem to be really caring with your kids which is really cute :3

I dunno if I ever could be a good dad some day and as of now I couldn´t even think of me as being a good enough husband (maybe it is still the post break up effect) or maybe I just never been with someone I truly loved, no idea really.

Clest, you seem extremely genial/not at all an asshole, so my snap judgement is that you'd probably make a pretty good caretaker : )

However, this post has gone EXTREMELY OFF TOPIC.

Mea culpa : (
Culpa is brazilian portuguese for guilty :P But mea is not brazilian, which language was that?:P

And thanks (check the relationship post for more details on my current confusion :P) hehe you too seem to be an inteligent and caring girl :)

And it was actually not your fault :P
Just to be back on topic (before Macgee complains):

I think I understand McGee´s point a lot when he says he couldn´t feel good working on something else, and I tried, I was even commended on working fast and with quality as a 3D mechanical designer (and I still get freelancer jobs on that mainly for the money) but working full time with that was really boooring and I got easily distracted. Only other thing I really enjoyed (and my classmates are trying to pull me to do it again) is giving manga classes, might give me more extra income XD

But still working for games or entretainment in general is in my heart for a long time and it really fulfills me =^.^=

First: Latin : D

Second: aw, thank you too. I'll check out the relationship thread.

Third: It's really awesome that you can work doing the stuff you love. I wish I could take one of your classes! Which reminds me, more o/t, I sent you a PM, did you get it? If not, I understand, sometimes they seem to get lost in the interwebs.
Latin, that explains a lot (I had latin classes back then but just the very basics)

You´re welcome, just my opinion based on your posts (though ppl say I got kind of an intuition towards ppl through the internet, actually I become near blind face to face o.o)

And believe me, it is awesome, sure that as any work you always have hard and angry times (when I misinterpret a briefing and have to redo something, I plain hate redoing things...). And didn get your pm, please try my aim/msn/e-mail instead, all in my profile :) (and I am online on msn, just hidden :P).
Clest, my deviantart account (as well as my livejournal) is KawaiiRanChan. You are more than welcome to browse my lackluster gallery if you feel the need. I do mostly chibi fanrt stuff in color pencil, or well, that's my best stuff. If you know Kratos from Tales of Symphonia, he's up there. A lot.

As for Pyra's sprite, all I know is that the end of the game is Pyra having her baby and Zauber (her hubby and important party member!) almost having a heart attack. I'm also going to need a baby sprite, or maybe even a Pyra holding a baby sprite. The first chapter occured in a few days, but I really don't know what to expect of chapters 2, 3, and 4. The storyline actually shows Pyra in physical pain (as in swollen feet, moving slowly, having braxton-hicks contractions) so she is pretty far along.

I'll send you her sprite if you're interested in helping. That would be awesome, and you will be credited! :D

Actually started the game last night and I love Pyra XD Sure I can help, both her pregnant, baby and holding baby are fairly easy to sprite, is Pyra final sprite the same as the inial one in the game? (redhead girl)

And will check your account now, lots of chibis are cute :) My default artwork style for my OCs is kinda chibi, but more towards megaman (with huge feet and hands). And only Kratos I know if from God of War, only tales games I really played are Destiny and Phantasia, in that order :P

Edit: regarding my e-mail, it is NOT my hotmail one, that is just my msn, it is clestelnith@gmail.com (Suzu can send the sprite, if needed, to that e-mail as well as additional info :P)
