BIZARREMONKEY'S PROFILE

author=Ratty524
You were banned when you stirred up that whole "turth" stuff (good times. :P), so I wouldn't expect you to be around to see that fall from grace.

I was apparently banned until 1994 or something. :P
It was pretty funny, whether there was a joke at my expense in there or it was just bad at calculating expiry dates, I really don't know. I had no expectations of a future there, and left before I saw much of what was posted in response.

Young and stupid me, trying to defend people. Blar!

Also, as stated in earlier posts, it had less to deal with internal struggles (there were only like... 2-3 instances of this?) and more to do with the arbitrary limitations imposed by iEntry that lead to the site's downfall. I'm pretty sure RRR would still be going on strong if we had a different host.

Maybe it was just the time I was in but holy hell i'd never seen members bicker with mods and admins like they did there, kyle234lee or whatever her name was, Deacon and then yeah, me!

And I was only there consistently for like, 3 months?

You're probably right, you're in a better position to state what went on than I am. I was only crafting theories out of insights granted from my limited time there.

Gun Mage :B

Oh also...

Mirrormaster
Just because Mirror mechanics are the best.

Man lemme have a look through some of my old tabletop games and find my creative stuff

okay!
Speedster
The Fastest class on foot, high jumping, flawless scathing, this is nor a physical nor Magic class, Speedsters use traps and teleport behind enemies and push them in, and have a couple of lifelike decoys while at it, this class can outrun an Antelope, outsmart an Octopus, outjump a Kangaroo, and can even Teleport faster than any Aircraft. They can even initiate light speed… with the right training of course

Woe is my old writing, but this was one of the coolest class concepts I've found.

Though I can make more up from different inspirations.
Reaper
High damage offensive spellblade, uses a scythe, specializes in death and gravity spells, if you want to go by a Final Fantasy Library, they'd have...
Demi
Gravity
Gravira
Graviga
Flare
Doom
Quick hit
Blitz
Power break
Armour break
Level 5 Death
Level 3 Death
Mega-Death
Osmose
Drain
(and probably others like Cheer, Reflex)
They'd die in one or two big hits though, two make them very much a glass cannon.

One more:
Mirage
An absent silhouette, serving no master, taking no definite form. Ominous and unpredictable.
Pros
Can't actually be damaged, evades every physical or magical attack.
Can do high damage.
Cons
Cannot be controlled
or
Can be controlled, albeit meekly, think like the Magus Sisters in FFX
If every party member is dead outside of it, game over.

Even if that absurd reality is so, I'll never stop, if I get worse at something, I'll work at it until it's better.

In your particular situation, you might just yeah, want to take it a little easy so you aren't constantly striving for better results or perfection.

I never seek better results or perfection, I just always aim to do my best, even if my best is someone else's average, because I don't let other people be a bar for me.

I am me, I make headway through my own inspiration to do my best, try out new things, no one else concerns me.

Not to say I don't get inspired by art, but i never seek to outdo my competition, I only seek to do the best I can, if I give it my all, I can be happy.

Perfection is a foolish goal, but competing with your own set standards is even more foolish.

You will never be happy if you endlessly try to outdo your superiors. A superior is essentially your subjective viewpoint of a person, anyway.

Perfection is also subjective. There is no such thing as "perfect" art, because perfect is much like right, wrong, good and bad-- a word of mortal invention, and it's victim to scrutiny or conversely notoriety based on the perspective of those who revere you and those who revile you.

Life is flawed, nature is flawed, alas-- art will also be flawed.

Perfection is fiction.

For me, the biggest issue was the dialogue. Dialogue is primarily exposition, and there's a lot of it. There's not really any subtext--characters will let you know how they feel and why they feel that way at any given time. This made the dialogue much less engaging than it could have been, and because of that, it's really easy for the basic information not to sink it--it's just hard to care about these characters.

This is what I'm gonna have to buckle down and start working on. Thanks for the review HS! No regrets.

Just to note, you can say it's a "Crazy Chimp Collective" game, since I am the Lead Designer in that company and it's more polite to address the collective wholly since they all put in work towards it.

"Bizarre Monkey Productions" is a thing of the past.

A lot of the themes from Epic battle fantasy 3 and 4 get stuck in mine.

Particularly these three.

So fuckin' catchy!
