BROKENH'S PROFILE

Due to situations beyond his control, Ben has more idle time than he should have! "Hands" are the devil's playground and as such Ben is often drawing or diddling around in RPG-maker VX Ace to give his life a semblance of actual meaning.

A social introvert, Ben is NOT a social butterfly! However, he still desires to create forms of expression which incite genuine emotions, raucous laughter, and occasional deep thoughts. (Though often enough he misses that mark and ends up offending everyone instead!)

Not to mention her other visible curvaceous feature ... I suddenly feel horns growing on top of my head. Oh, no! The temptress got to me.
Time to send you to Jesus camp for rehabilitation. This was a test and you failed miserably!
Somehow I feel this is the part where I used the excuse that we were all "born sinners" as a cop out ...


Don't know what you're talking about. I was born pure as a dove. And even when I sin my misdeeds are absolved every Sunday at confession! I love my "get out of hell free" card!

Gratuitous ass shot; why not.

Not like this is meant to be a game first and smut second.


You got me. It's one big hentai eroge game. Just like Metal Gear,Killer is dead,Lollipop chainsaw,GTA,and every other game that's ever had fan service! You are the Sherlock Holmes to my Moriarty! (I'm joking in a playful way. Hope that's apparent. lol)

I guess we're probably the religious extremists worst nightmare: the "relativists"
Heh, likely. I mean there are some open minded people who happen to also be religious but I find they seem rare. But how much of the world have I truly seen?
I personally have seen enough to be convinced that religions end up pitting people against each other: "believers" vs. "non-believers", "chosen ones" vs. "ones that will rot in Hell/Purgatory". There seems to be only be black and white, with no scales of gray. Kind of the way the U.S. government basically boxes people into clearly defined races, while in truth, most of us are "mutts" to some extent and they force us to choose one over the other, which seems disrespectful of each person's uniqueness.

I'm part German. I don't want to go into how that made me feel about myself for the longest time. Germans are a good people overall but whenever Germany comes up in America we tend to think about Nazis and genocide. Welp,at least a lot of people do.

You're right about the mutt part. I'm also a mix of Cherokee and old English. None of which give me "awesome super powers" I'm afraid. lol.

I also shy away from organized religion. Most times I see a church my mind's eye automatically sees some sort of cult driven pyramid scheme in the making. It could be I'm too cynical though.

So far I've noticed my main forte seems to be offending people. I guess times have changed since I personally was in HS and college. Many people seem more sensitive and seem much easier to rile up. There are these new unsaid rules in gaming that have apparently changed since I was gone. (Careful about showing off that fan service,son! That there is misogyny and pointless to the story line!)

Maybe I'm like Suda 51 with less talent then? I notice whenever he comes out with something the "mainstream gaming journalists" are pretty quick to chastise him. Gigolo mode in Killer Is Dead certainly sparked a lot of controversy. Hitting a hooker with a car? Fine! A mode where you seduce women while trying to not get caught looking at their breasts? How terrible! Time to break out that trendy moral superiority!
would you mind not dragging that chapped, mawk-torn ass of yours into every topic from here on out? wear your wounds with stoic pride, and learn the lessons they're there to teach you.

the first lesson is not to do a swan dive off the handle and make yourself into some visionary martyr over a small amount of criticism. it's easy to frame things in such a way as to pretend to yourself that you're a unique, special snowflake being crushed by mundanity, but as appealing a fantasy as that might be, it's really only a method of avoiding self-improvement by pushing your own flaws onto other people.


Visionary martyr? You seem to believe that I think higher of myself than I actually do,Mawk. For the record,you were not the only person offended by my work . Not every post I make is directed at you. (Ego much?) And I'm sorry, but you really haven't torn my ass. Don't consider yourself the victor until I up and leave RMN for good. Then you can have the last laugh!

Regardless, I hope we can build some kind of friendship. Even if it is the typical Ryu/Ken rival dynamic. I will not insist you love what I create so we can be cordial without you kissing my feet and praising everything I do. lol.

I don't think any actual religious scholar puts any stock in Dante's model of hell. historically speaking, it's basically just one guy getting really angry at his critics and creating a setting where he could blow off steam by torturing them. super childish, and nothing to base your understanding of the afterlife off of (for all that it's persisted as an inspiration for modern representations).

also, the concept of karma is one that's commonly misunderstood! karma isn't some supernatural balancing act where bad people have bad things happen to them -- rather, it's just the phenomenon of cause and effect, and an exercise in understanding the far-reaching consequences of your actions. the only thing approaching the modern misconceptions regarding karma is the concept that, in alignment with the above principles, impure actions or impure intent reap impure results.


Maybe that's the part of Karma I could never buy into. Supernatural divine punishment? Kind of a stretch. But I do think by doing good acts we can create more positivity and by doing negative acts we increase negativity. For example, a caring and moral parent will typically instill decent values into their child whereas an abusive parent will instill bad values. However, we can fight our past. It's just more difficult when we get off to a crappy start.

The comments and images on this game bring me great amusement. Keep it up!

If only to play the fool and make you laugh my job is done! (Jester bells jingle as I bow curtly)

Hell is interesting but I think most people focus to much on the Dante Aligheri interpretation of it. As for purgatory? I always entertained the possibility earth is purgatory. It's not as bad as writhing in pain for all eternity but bad things can still happen to us here. (However, good things can happen to us too.) Regardless, I feel pretty "lost" as a human being. Being "alive" is filled with a lot of sensory over-load. We stumble around blindly rarely able to process everything.

Another angle is things just happen randomly. As much as believing in "karma" is a comfort blanket for me I do doubt it sometimes.

All of the sudden I feel Rage ... Against the Machine.

In the defense of Jehovah's witnesses I believe they have recently retracted that "sacred number" while claiming it was a mathematical error on their part. In other words,more people will get into heaven now according to their updated beliefs. I guess that makes me like them a little bit more. That said,it still seems like a big VIP club. "Roll with us or burn to dust!" should be a religious bumper sticker. lol.

I'm fine with people being "spiritual" but I think certain folks take it too far when they create mobs and try to swell their ranks through fear mongering and intimidation.

I'm only at my first game created so I consider myself an amateur in all areas. It scares me too because I don't even have ideas for a second game yet. Anybody experience a bit of creative burn out after they get a project done? I know I do.

How terrible! Time to break out that trendy moral superiority!

Things I'd like to improve? Just about everything. I know how to do puzzles but they are very average. There's only one puzzle I'm proud of in my whole game. I'd also improve my enemies to make them more challenging. By the time you get to the end boss it's possible to kill him with a few hits. Why is it this way? Initially I was afraid to make enemy encounters too tedious. As such, my characters can be power leveled really quickly. (Perhaps too quickly?) Next up? My maps could be better. One of my latest updates added more street lamps to my town areas just because I realize it was something I neglected. (Gourd was the original person to bring it up.) I've also been fine tuning the dialogue so conversations flow more naturally.

As for my no holds barred approach? I'll probably continue to be the odd man out. I have a love for camp,cheese,the dark, and the weird.(One of my favorite games is Deadly Premonition. I was fond of Nier too.) I liked brighter and more generic rpgs back in the day but in the present I long to create something that's more off the beaten path. This will likely get me a few more haters but you know what they say, to thine own self be true!
