CIEL'S PROFILE

author=Erave
Basically a retro styled mid 90s SNES JRPG. I've done all the music, LunC has written a script, Fighter does most of the heavy coding and Doppleganger is our artistic supervisor, doing a lot of the graphics himself and outsourcing some tasks to freelance pixel artists.

that makes me happy. i'd always wished more teams would form from rm scene people to make serious original projects

its so dense

every single image has so many things going on

This thread made a very interesting read. I had been wondering about #shmup, too. Just remember that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

it was interesting for me too in the sense that it was the most surreal thing i've ever read

i don't know if it's intentional revisionism or a delusional interpretation of reality but it's incredibly bizarre having spent time in a community i valued making posts asserting a genuine and heartfelt stance on video game/artistic issues and then i look back a couple years later and a few people around at the time who reacted with extreme disproportion to any mention of basic standards or creative principles or general logic are here painting this picture of digital terrorists who created some kind of internet holocaust that deeply traumatized hundreds of lives

and then there's other people i've never even heard of echoing them as if they just heard about it second hand and started to believe they too lived through this imagined cataclysm. and otherwise factually asserting things they have no way of really knowing about people they don't know or understand

it's fascinating. unbelievably puzzling but fascinating phenomena

kentona was a solid bro though

It's probably not going to be great, though, since b) it's basically a novel about anime JRPG people doing anime JRPG things

do you hnoestly think it could be worse than games of throne or other fantasy which is basically always the dullest possible incarnation of what you described

the answer is NO
