DORIANDAWES'S PROFILE

"These are the darkest things we kept, the secrets we dare not tell. You cannot see for the shadows up ahead. All is dark, all is dark. Farewell." -The Prince of Pain

I am a corrosive substance masquerading itself as a consistently broke author living off of his folks. My published fiction is out there somewhere in places you should probably not be looking, and I have currently stepped down as creative director for an art magazine as I am seeking to actually be paid for my services. These are things which no one here would care to know.

I have recently picked up independent gaming as a hobby interest and I am fascinated by the idea of using the rpgmaker software as a means of creating interactive art. Working on learning the software in an attempt to implement my strange fiction into an alternative medium.

Despite my prickly surface, I have a pulpy and quite sweet disposition...like a pineapple.

Personal interests include dark ambient/experimental/modern-classical/wtf-even-is-that music, including/but not limited to: Coil, Atrium Carceri, the Anarcocks, Current 93, Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, and the occasional 80's post-punk/synthpop revival type shit. I enjoy the fiction of Clive Barker, Thomas Ligotti, William Burroughs, and H.P Lovecraft.

Favorite games (in no order whatsoever) include: Majora's Mask, Yume Nikki, Madness Returns, Chzo Mythos, .flow, Space Funeral, and Exmortis.

I enjoy the visual artwork and films of the Brothers Quay, Jiri Barta, Chet Zar, Zdislaw Beksinski, Jodorowsky, Francis Bacon, Kenneth Anger, and Jan Svankmajer.

I love collaborating with people, and while my pixel art skills are in question (no question actually, they're pieces of shit), my brain is a never-ending resource of thoughts, visions, dreams and strange characters. Working with creative people of different talents to bring something fresh, exciting and beautiful is always a pleasure. Feel free to spam my email if you'd like to work with me.

Broken Vessel

Kumada, thank you for the words, though I think I'd like to stress that this game, while having a brief similarity in the desire to create a nightmarish environment for the protagonist based off his own fears, is a far-cry from anything Silent Hill-related.

This isn't me "doing Silent Hill" it's...dear, Lord...I feel sorry for anyone trying to categorize just what this awful things is, haha. It's weird humor, odd imagery, I've got a masked man feeding floating heads in a sewer like they were ducks on a river, the mothman is a primary character, a cockroach in an apron, a child-eating plant, and a "Dead-Meat Circus".

If you were to put an adjective to describe all that, "Silent Hill" is not what comes to mind...in fact, the word "special" does, in that sort of, let's put this thing in the corner and hope it goes away.

Regardless, I'm glad you're looking forwards to it, and I sincerely hope that I can deliver an immersive experience, and at the very least an engaging story, which is all that anyone can hope to do. I just hope nobody goes into this thinking they're going to be fighting monsters with a crowbar or running away from Pyramid Head, as they might become very cross with me when they find out it's just a simple adventure game with some pretentious whining sprinkled throughout.

I don't want to get any nasty letters, "WHERE'S MY SEXY NURSES?!"

You can understand my aversion to creating the wrong idea in anyone's head!

Earthless

The story sounds incredible. Looking forwards to this title.

I'm Scared of Girls

I am very happy that this game was featured. One of the best and most original titles to come out in a while. I truly enjoyed this experience and I'm extremely gratified to know it received its due recognition.
