ADDIT'S PROFILE

Hey, I’m just astonished that you can actually name your airship in this game. That’s pretty cool! Otherwise, everything looks pretty damn good to me.

Yeah, it kind of sucks that you can’t ascend or descend like in FF6’s airship, but still – mode 7, man! You can’t beat that!

But it’s good to hear that you’re still working hard on this. I was a little worried there for a little while when there wasn’t any activity on this for the last couple of months that you might have fizzled out over time or had some other things going in RL that you had to attend to over this, but apparently this is still going on rather strong and I’m happy that some progress has been made.

Continue to keep up the good work there, bud. I may not post that much about this game – but I’m still watching you!

Yay - the one that I voted for ended up winning! It looks soooo good seeing it now worn in action. (Although these other two ones look just as great on her as well!) Good job, you guys.

(I may just draw them all in the future just because)

- Let’s hope you do, actually. I would love to see the other outfits on her too, eventually.

Aw, sweet, this is a nice surprise! What a perfect time to release a demo just a day after the new starters for the new Pokemon game were announced.

And don’t feel too bad that this took around four years to get a demo out. I mean, f**k, it’s almost been three years myself and I don’t even have a gamepage up yet for my game - so no worries.

Of course, you don’t want me to review this until the full version comes out, right?

Well 23% is still a hell of a lot better than being at a big fat zero – so yay, progress!!!

I’m still looking forward to reviewing this when it fully gets translated. Don’t worry, lol, I’m not forgetting this one.

It won't really be a big loss if I stop making games, right? There are plenty of other talented devs who could take my place.

Why would you even say something like that? Of course it would be a big loss if someone like you ever decided to step down – of course it would! Besides, f**k those other people; who gives a shit. You have just as much talent as every one of those suckers out there do, including myself. Don’t ever give up on your dreams just because you think that there are a hundred other people out there that are just better than you or you can’t follow what’s going on behind the scene of things. Just continue to do your thing and have fun doing what you love to do. And hopefully you do just that, success will surely follow.

It's just I feel a bit pressured to make every new game better than my last one, and because Laine and Co's game was so well-received, I'm wondering if Tristy will be able to topple that, or the game I make after it, and so on and so on.

Hey, it’s possible that Enelysion could have been your best, most critically acclaimed work ever and maybe nothing else will ever topple that in the future - and that certainly is a possibility - but you can’t put too much pressure on yourself that each game that comes out after it needs to topple it in order for you to make it feel like a success. Just getting the game out, having some fun along the way and enhancing your overall skillset and doing the very best that you can should be motivation enough for you. And even if Tristian bombs, just take the good with the bad and move on to the next thing.

Don't get me wrong, I love everything to do with making RPGs, but the way I see things is that there are far too many tiny 1-hour long games ( and I don't mean the contest stuff ) with loli-horror/minimal-GFX games/games that try to re-invent the wheel/games with pretty art and not much else stuff and far too few epics that I've seen in the RM-days of old. And those are the projects/games I really care about. And want to see more of. But it's not going to happen. That period of RPGMaker is over ( circa 2007-2011...? ).

Well, unfortunately, that’s just the current trend of things that are going on here as of late, and there’s really nothing you can do about it other than just continue making the types of games that you wanna make. Don’t worry too much about what’s going on out there; just continue to focus on your own work. Besides, eventually people are going to get tired of these types of games and they’re going to want something else in the future. Trends come and they go all the time. You can either take advantage of that or just find your own way to do things.

And one of these days we’ll get another 30 hour+ epic RPG again – I just know we will. The problem is that a lot of developers and players today just don’t have the same type of patience level to sit through something like that or work on something like that and it’s generally in the best interest for both parties to shoot for something on a much shorter, smaller scale. That’s not to say that there are not those who enjoy lengthier, longer games, but it definitely takes a while to craft and not only play but also to finish as well, so I can kind of understand.

A little bird told me that the best RPGMaker games that have been made in the past were by the members who had virtually no community presence.

Uh…what about Kentona and Hero’s Realm, or unity with Luxaren Allure recently, or even UPRC with Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy or even Ocean with Paradise Blue? All of those people are pretty relativity active in our community and have created some of the best RPG Maker games around, so I don’t think it really matters all too much whether you’re active around here or not.

Luchi, I think you’re overthinking about this nonsense too much. Don’t think, just do! Go have fun and finish up Tristian whenever you can, okay? Don’t worry about everyone else, just worry about yourself. Relax!!!
