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!)

Good and Bad people come in all shapes and sizes ... what´s up with all this sudden PCness (I mean to advocate people not show their personal biases, regardless of what fallacies or untruths they might be based on) in regard to this game. It's only a fictional game ... that's all there's to it! Time to loosen up, people ...

Heck,this game isn't even mainstream. Not as if people are forced to play it and have to see it on store shelves everywhere. lol.

Overall I think Gliz was good intentioned,ed. Most of his criticism was helpful. Though yeah,I still have people here breaking out the pitchforks and torches whenever I post something new. It's kind of sad but hey, you learn to deal with it after awhile. I've staked my claim so I'm not leaving! (Haters are just gonna have to hate I guess)

My closest friend actually had a step mom who was a Jehovah's witness and according to him she was a very terrible person. I wasn't there myself but my bestie is a good guy. Lying isn't his forte. One day I thought to myself "Wow,she'd make a good villain" and lo and behold, that's how Betty Tompson was born.

I also have to question a faith form that believes a set number of people get into heaven while everyone else burns in a lake a fire. Seriously, Jehovah's witnesses have an exact number for that. It's not based upon if you're "good" or "evil". It's cold hard statistics! Late in line at the cut-off point? God is gonna trap-door you into hell! Sorry for your inconvenience! Yet Jehovah's witnesses will gladly take your donations and accept your membership in the meantime even if it turns out you aren't actually one of God's chosen. What a bunch of elitist bigoted bullshit.

Anyway,thanks for being an advocate for free speech! Never thought I'd see the day when people identifying themselves as liberals would be so doggedly determined to silence other people and censor works of fiction just so "no one will be offended". If offense is the only thing we have to worry about we're doing fine. Better that then having crosses burnt in our front yards or getting hung from trees in the hot Georgia sun. "Old school" civil rights activists from back in the day had more important and immediate threats and issues to contend with. This new wave of activism would make people like Harvey Milk,Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King turn in their graves.

Alright guys, enough poking of badgers please.Back on the topic at hand - I doubt RMN would ever put up an ERSB rating system beyond what we currently have (that is, denying games that are overly-sexual or deliberately terrible portrayals of sensitive subjects) mainly because the site, while it does have younger people on board, has a lot of older creators, too.

That said, most games can be easily guessed at when it comes to age level and some conscientious creators make sure to add a line in the description or game itself if there's anything too questionable in it. Some don't, true. I know for a fact I never have even if some of my games have swearing and the like in them. I won't do so either, because frankly, 13 year olds hear worse irl and know more about stuff than what I'd ever present them with.

(Just thinking about what I learned at that age from my peers, it makes me wonder how much worse it is nowdays, what with more technology to spread the word and less inhibitions than ever.)

I think overall adding a warning at the beginning is the best creators can do. However,therein lies a kind of double paradox. For example, when I was a teen being told a movie might be offensive or taboo made me that much more eager to watch it. In the past those "cautious disclaimers" made me more curious. lol.

However,kids tend to be tougher and more worldly than we give them credit for. All I'll say for sure is I'm glad Rpgmaker is limited to retro graphics. (For the most part) It prevents games from going into 'uncanny valley" when it comes to grotesque realistic violence or graphic rape. In cases such as these,subtlety is a god-send! (Though I've seen some rather nasty pixel dismemberments and mutilations in my time.)

Oh mawk, isn’t it time to move on? I realize it’s difficult being a gilded lover but the only drama left in this blog entry is the stuff you keep dusting off and throwing back at me. I moved on awhile ago. My response to Darken was meant to be satirical, lighthearted, and non-malicious. Yet you just had to brush off the cob-webs to add your two cents. At this point I think you are just making yourself look bad.

I get it, you don’t like the way I do things, respond to posts, or the way I write my characters. Reading you loud and clear. Luckily, you have the choice to stop responding. If you cannot stomach my company no one is forcing you to come back.

(Even if I am some kind of troll the best way to deal with me is to stop feeding me.)

I’m sorry I’ve been kind of a dick to you. Perhaps you’re just a nice guy with Asperger’s syndrome but online it’s not as if I can discern that right off the bat. Regardless, I’ve responded to you the way you’ve responded to me. Every action gets an equal reaction.

PS: It’s hard to listen to typed words, bro. I know there’s a computer program with audio that can repeat what I type but eh, I’ve never liked automated voices myself.

I’d ask you to “listen to yourself” in turn but at this point I’m convinced you’d fall in love with yourself (as you can do no wrong) and have a grandiose orgy of one! (Give or take a hand)

Yes,you must have phone book sized accolades of my most intimate life details. Do tell, oh wise chronicler!

author=BrokenH
But go ahead and "harsh the noob" so you can seem oh so trendy. As they said back in the days of my forebears, "You're one cool cat,yo!"

Man you sure "pwned" him ;^)

Yes I know,Darken! Behold my mad skillz as internet tough guy! I don't know if I'll be effective in bar fights though. Those require real life brawling prowess!

Dumb or Daring?

If the game's only an hour long I don't see why there would be a reason to save. (Especially if you want this to play out like "real life" and "in the moment".) But you should wait for additional opinions too. I don't speak for others.

Looking for a trailer park tileset

author=wheelingrampage
One of the areas in my games is a trailer park and I want it so that the trailers actually look like trailers because right now they just look like buildings made from scrap metal. Does anyone know where I could find a trailer park tileset?


Sorry I cannot help. It's my guess trailer park tilesets are rare because Enterbrain is still a Japanese company so culturally they are perhaps unaware of what a trailer looks like. (I've never seen mobile homes in footage from Japan so I assume they're rare or nonexistent over there. I could be wrong though.)

If you luck out do let me know! Some of my future ideas will include a trailer park as well. (Or at least a remote tiny community of some type in modern times)

Planned character roster

These are great character busts. I especially like Trabant and Ianna!

Imma gonna say somethin dat blows your brainz out the back your skull and makes yo skin leap off ya bonez! (Hipster leet 4 life!)

Well, full version won't come out too soon as new family issues - if I can call it like that - shall arise soon, which will most probably absorb my time for few years even...


I can be patient. As they say, good things are worth waiting for! No pressure. Do what you can when you can.
