ALPHAOMEGA247'S PROFILE

Ugh, I'm glad Christmas is over. It was worse than I could have possibly imagined. Everybody in my family hates each other, Grandma was flipping out because one of my cousins unfriended her on Facebook and she couldn't see pictures of the baby anymore. One of my uncles didn't know who I was and thought I was said cousin's boyfriend and the babydaddy. Grandma... after 21 years... still can't spell my name right. During dinner, my cheap plastic fork shattered and flipped my plate onto my lap. My aunt was constantly reminding us that things like "the Pearl Harbor War" aren't important and don't need to be taught in schools--we need to focus on nutrition, healthy living, and shit like that. Also, she wouldn't eat the cookies because the eggs weren't from free roaming chickens. My mom was (understandably) drinking wine straight from the bottle. My sister was bitching about everyone (Aunt Suzanne didn't start making her turkey breast until 3:00!) and her dogs were running around barking and stirring up allergies. I wound up sitting all by myself in a corner with my 3DS. FML.

If anybody is in need of a cute new addition to their family, I'm already potty trained, employed, and have nice hair.

On the bright side, I did get some nice loot. Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker, Assassin's Creed Unity, some new clothes, a ton of hot chocolate, a nice new razor (which I'll definitely use if I ever grow facial hair), all sorts of glorious dark chocolate, etc.

Goodbye my RPG Making spare time and hello Dragon Age: Inquisition spare time~ (Pretty freakin' happy!)

Yeah, say goodbye to 100 hours of your life. XD I've played for like 70 hours and I still have a ton left to do.

Lawrence Kasdan, also known as God among Star Wars fans: he was the writer and director of Return of the Jedi.

I don't think he directed Return of the Jedi. That was some... Richard Marblahblahblah guy.

I'd love to see a dispute solved by Pictionary. Just because it's so utterly absurd... "This island doesn't belong to you, but instead of massing the troops for an invasion, we're just going to see if I can draw the Easter Bunny better than you."

(Though I would definitely like to see wars being replaced by games of Super Smash Bros. as well.)

Well, Nintendo is constantly telling people to SETTLE IT IN SMASH...



And as a fun aside, if you do an image search for Settle it in Smash, Addit's review of Super Smash Bros. Crusade is among the top results.

I ban pianotm for not giving me baking tips sooner. Though I did successfully make brownies the other day. From a box. But I still count that as a victory after those awful cookies.

Those springs don't seem to work like I would expect them to. :| I would think after the kid hits the first one, he'd zoom into the lower-left corner and then stop because he just slid in front of it. I guess they're motion activated or something. That explains everything. XD

Nice screens! The map is looking pretty good too if not a bit empty at parts, specially the paved areas. I dunno, spice things up a little by adding a bit more detail (Puddles, tiny patches of grass, etc) or just by subtle shades of color on the ground. Look at how rich the grass texture is! All your ground tiles should have a similar 'liveliness' to them.

Also you're mixing tiles from very different games/places. Some of those tiles from SD3's Rabite Forest and CT's Millennium Fair are too bright and colorful for those houses from City castle of Jad. The houses look so gloomy in comparison! I suggest you to play around a bit with their colors until they make for a better match with the surroundings.

I did try to have some cracks and stuff in the paved areas, but I'm awful at making sprites and everything I did looked terrible. As it stands, there's ONE paved tile in the entire city that's different from the others (and conveniently, it's right behind that woman's head in the screen you quoted. I guess I'll spread that around a little bit more (since it looks okay) and now that I've been challenged, I'll have to come up with some other things to increase liveliness! :P

I changed the roof colors because I thought they felt a bit off, but I never even considered changing the buildings. Of course, now that you mention it, it's blatantly obvious!
