RPG Maker VX: Top 5
It doesn't have to be 5 ^__^.
I thought of doing that, dezz123, but I would like to read a line or two why you liked this game or that one (as opposed to full reviews).

RMN in the New Year
I'll be making some changes to the way the site works that reflect a more positive thinking.
Hmm...
I haven't been here and long and only drop by every once in a while but if I may, I'd like to share my opinion about this for what it's worth.
I think what makes a website great is the relative freedom to express yourself about how you felt about a certain game. Silencing negative members would only generate more negativity (read: draw a lot more criticism here).
I think it's ultimately up to people to chose to react or not to negativity. I often find some reviews a bit harsh but on the other hand, there's plenty of feedback in what is said if you know how to look/where to look.
I think positive thinking is not about silencing what is negative, but to constantly assimilate it in a way which is constructive and ignore what is ultimately empty provocations.
I like this website, I think it's great. It's still finding its feet but you know what, it tries and that's a whole lot more than can be sais about a lot of communities out there.
I can only hope this place will keep trying to improve, even if some attempts fail miserably; because the avant-garde design of RMN is certainly what makes it one notch above the rest.
RPG Maker VX: Top 5
Hey guys!
I think I've told you before but I work for a website (I write articles for them) and I cover things related to RPG Maker VX.
Since I don't have the time to play all the RPG Maker VX games here, I'd like to know what you consider to be the best 5 completed games for RPG Maker VX (ranking them from 1 to 5).
I'll then try the games myself and put a top 5 together.
I'll probably put "Les yeux sans visage" in the lot.
Thank you.
A short, one line explanation as to why you liked this or that game would be appreciated.

What ever Happen to this game
Argh noooo!
I was hoping this would remain hidden which is why I kept quiet about it :-).
The thing is, this was about my first translation of an rpg game and there was *so much* text that I just plowed through as quickly as possible and I think it affected the final result.
This demo is ridden with bugs and the translation really isn't as great as I could be (I'd do a much better job if I was to translate it right now). Besides, the latest version has pretty much ditched everything in this demo as everything is better: the graphics, the story, the writing, the enemies... everything.
In case you're interested, you can see for yourself by downloading the latest build here.
There's also an article about Aedemphia here.
This text has about 100 times more text than Omega Cerberus (I'm not kidding). The other problem is that the game keeps getting updated (thus outdating the older version constantly).
I'd only translate this if I was being paid (like 0.01c/word) for it but if some of you guys are interested and willing to go all the way with this, you can contact Sylvanor and give it a shot.
He's hired a musician for the music of this game, so he might a hire a translator in the future (me or someone else).
Not anymore. Believe it or not, he's made in-game cinematics to tell the stories now. The stories are nicely integrated into the game now and it take minutes to be up to date with the main story.
No, it's quite a bit longer than that as far as I can remember.
EDIT: I've also asked Sylvanor to introduce his game here but I don't think he's going to do it as the game is in French and all.

Also, the main character has already been part of two (I think) stories written by the author before the game begins, so there's quite a bit of backstory to get trough.
Not anymore. Believe it or not, he's made in-game cinematics to tell the stories now. The stories are nicely integrated into the game now and it take minutes to be up to date with the main story.
The translation's only about 5 minutes long, so not really worth posting.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
I had some free time during the holiday so I played some games (first time in two months!)
I was browsing gamespot to find a good rpg on the ds and I stumbled on Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. I was a bit put off by the score it got (6.0) but decided to play it anyway as TRPG are the games I enjoy the most (I like strategy in general be it chess, risk, stratego, Warhammer fantasy battle, warhammer 40,000, magic back in the days, etc...)
Well I got to tell you:
It. was. AMAZING. I haven't played something that good since Final Fantasy Tactics on the PSX. Both games are fairly hard which makes it all the more interesting (I don't like grinding, it's kind of cheating to me).
Covenant of the Plume has layer upon layer of deep strategic gameplay (more than in any game I've ever played). I had to restart three times to get it right but once you get the hang of things, it's just so much fun.
I've finished it twice in three days (I seldom/never play the same game through twice).
There are multiple endings and the story is *very* well written. It's really mature which is really a nice break from the childish dialogues in so many games. It's just... real. It always got on my nerves when you have a war breaking out and the characters are cracking joke as they're on the battlefield in a firefight. No one would react that way in real life and it just makes the whole thing unbelievable. Besides, it really gives all kinds of perspectives about war and the philosophy behind it. It's great, really.
The main character isn't a nice guy and he actually reminded me of Guts in Berserk (my favorite anime of all time). He's kind of an anti-hero who wants nothing but revenge no matter the cost. To me, it's a breath of fresh air from saving the world from destruction.
Download it right now or buy it, but try it. I'd suggest playing on emulation as you can fast-forward the game since it's fairly slow otherwise.

Let's Try with Craze - Season 2
Just use dreamaker and Notepad++, CTRL+F: find and replace, Ether for Eth and you're done. Should take you less than 5 minutes at most.
Omega Cerberus
Yup, as I've said:
That's a choice I've made and I'll live with the consequences. There might be a few occasions where something isn't translated but I thought that I'd better release this then not release anything at all.
As long as you can understand what's going on and enjoy the game by Sill Valt, that's good enough for me.
The original game is actually written pretty simply so I had to choice to stick to the original or rephrase things as I would have put it. I've decided to stick to the original as much as possible. I'm still at my beginnings at translating fiction so I should've perhaps have been more creative in my writing.
It's difficult to determine how much you should interpret and how much you should translate as precisely as possible.
I might work on this in the far future but I doubt it so try to enjoy it as much as you can the way it is right now.
I decided to make this public as I didn't want all the time I've spent in this to be wasted.
The dialogue isn't as polished as I would want it to be but I'll release it anyway.

International Contest?
Letters are fine as long as they don't combine to make up a word.
Actually, like I've said before, you could have a whole language you made up as long as it's a made up language. Well, that's they way I see it anyway.
Neutrality is the key here. As long as neutrality is respected, then everything goes as far as I'm concerned.
I'd like to read other members' thoughts about this.
