I'm a very big fan of music of japanese role playing games for it has influenced me throughout my life since my early childhood. The day I saw Nobuo on the stage in front of me I decided I too will become a composer one day. It has been 9 years since that day.

You can't find my works anywhere right now, but that will change very soon this year as I will be contributing several original tracks for RMN Music Pack 2.

Summoner of Sounds

Oh hey! I am currently in process of concluding Summoner of Sounds myself. Listening to the last submissions and giving them feedback, and counting the statistics for achievements.

RMN Music Pack 2 will start later this month or in beginning of August. It was supposed to start ASAP, but I have some other deadlines very soon in August, so I have been worried they'll affect my judging abilities.

Rmn Music Pack 2 will allow submitting works that have been starter prior to the event, though, as long as they haven't been made public before. So basically you can start on ideas already, keeping in mind the primary application for the music of the pack is the games of RPG genre and that all works will be distributed for free for everyone to use in their non-commercial and commercial projects by crediting the artist.

15th of July Chapter II: Lured into the Woods

I wake up from a nap, it's around 7 PM and it has been raining all day. I feel energized for the next adventure and it has cleared outside too, so it's time to Go!

I check out the nearby motor road for any sightings, but the area near to my house seems pretty poor for catching anything. I head out to a nearby church to try and win my first gym battle. There's pretty tough Pokémons, but which I manage barely to beat on my second try. I think I was facing a Hypno with my own Hypno, and winning because I had a ghost type special which was super effective while everything else was ineffective to both sides.


First gym victory at the local church! Not much to hooray about the architecture though.

After having won my first gym battle I plan my route to start again from the school I was at yesterday.


Somewhat old school with a cool atmosphere. It needs a sunny day photo too.

I spot Charmander footprints as I get closer to the hilltop where the school resides. I spot a group of young kids running around the school yard. I ask them about the Charmander and they all say they're also tracking it, and that it usually appears on the upper school yard. I can't see it nearby, so I walk around the school and go down the same stairs as before.


Here's picture of the stairs I mentioned before


And there it is! I'm super excited as Charmander is one of my all time favorites, yet still missing from my collection.


A wild Charmander jumps from the bushes!


But damn, he's breaking out of all of my pokéballs and then flees! I was devastated. I walk around the school trying to find it again. I did feed it some berries which would make the second time trying to catch it easier, but I can't find him anymore.

Instead I notice there's a Jynx somewhere nearby and I decide to set after it. I arrive to a field which I often pass while jogging.

I find myself heading to the nearby forest. Jynx still appears relatively close on my tracking - just a bit deeper into the forest. I notice it's pretty dark and quiet in the forest after the rain. I look at Jynx's silhouette and wonder what type of pokémon is it supposed to be. Could it be a witch? Now I feel uncomfortable of being lured deeper and deeper into the woods by the Jynx. I can't really see any pokémon nearby. They all appear rather far away. Beedrill somewhere there too.


A Jynx is somewhere there waiting for me.

I just decide to follow the road and take pictures. I see a small stream near the road and as I descend to the bank to take pictures my foot slips a bit and in the process I manage to throw my phone in the air, though I barely manage to catch it before it falls into the water.


Yeah, almost ruined my phone while getting this photo.


Been after the Jynx for a while now.

I'm in the middle of the forest now. I've opened some incenses to attract wild pokémons because the forest path is full of spawn points with falling leaves. I've started to lose hope of finding the Jynx or Beedrill, but my tracking has spotted Dragonair and suddenly a Slowpoke appears behind my back.


You can't deny this is a bit creepy.

When I try to catch it the game crashes though and when I reconnect it has already disappeared and my tracker shows entirely new set of pokémons which mostly all are the basic bird types. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and I try to find a route leading out of the forest. I catch an Eevee on the way, and come to gym in the middle of the forest.


I could take endless Eevee photos. They're so cute. :3


This is a gym in that forest. Really. This.

The pokémon here appear relatively weak and I spend a while there conquering the gym to myself. Meanwhile my incense attracts a wild Fearow as well as bunch of mosquitoes that appear to be about the same size as the Fearow. I have however conquered my second gym! Yay!

As I'm finding my way back I run out of battery again, but this time I have my reserve charger! I plug it in and I'm good to go again. I also find a Ponyta, one of many which I later discover to have heavily occupied the forest.


Is it just me, or does this Ponyta seem small?

I try to take some shortcuts to get back to the civilization as fast as possible, as the pokémons are a bit easier to find there when you don't have to follow specific roads for so long distances as in a forest. I follow a road that's supposed to take me back fast, but I find it ends to 20 feet drop down. I guess you could climb down the rock, but with all the vegetation and it having just rained... it didn't seem that appealing.


The road just ended suddenly on a cliff after this point.

As I turn around this guy's behind me.


He looks pretty surprised. Or high.

I come to a road which isn't on the map. It's really dark one too, and one I often avoid when I run in the forest.


In reality it was somewhat darker than it appears in the photo.

It felt a bit unpleasant route to take, but at the end of it I was greeted by a pretty scenery with a forest stream.


I like taking pictures in the forest.


It's just so harmonious.

I decide to go to the graveyard nearby as it seems there's quite several pokéstops there for some reason. I find out most of these are on the graves and that there aren't many pokémons in the graveyard, which is probably only for the best considering the purpose of the place. I wouldn't be super happy to visit a grave just to see bunch of people wandering around there catching pokémon and checking in for pokéstops.


The Sitting Angel. One of the pokéstops in the graveyard.





The graveyard is a pretty area though, and especially so in the winter. The atmosphere now after rain is extra serene as well and there's some hints of light mist crawling over the fields.



There's a lot of these trees in the area I live in. I really like them.


Mostly because of the canopies.


More trees.


I'm almost ready to head home, but I'm pretty close to my favorite chilling out area, so I decide to extend my journey and I head out a bit further away once again. I arrive to the local exercise park and the entrance area of the central park of my city. The central park covers many square kilometers of forest and forest trails which lead all the way from where I live to near the to downtown area.


Entering the exercise area.

Something about track fields attracts me in particular. They have some special nostalgia connection for me and spending time near them entices me. For some reason they have a very special atmosphere to me and they're my favorite chilling spots.


This is the shit. Something about them is magical to me. Not the fact it has just rained though.

I'm about to head out to gym nearby, but it's around 10 PM and the peak hour when the servers barely work at all. I can't get the game work for good 15 minutes and decide to head back home. It eases out pretty soon though, as usual, and I am online again.


I found a mirror. Lone pokémon trainer in the night.

As I'm heading back home I come across with this sick gym that has Aerodactyl and Omastar both over 700 CP, plus some third pokémon I don't remember. I dream that someday I'll manage to beat this gym, too.


This is the most epic gym around my part of the city. At least of those I have discovered out so far.

I find an Eevee nearby which is the last one I need for evolution. I thought I could choose which evolution I get, but it seems to be random I guess. I get a Vaporeon, though I would have preferred Jolteon which I would've needed for my current setup. Vaporeon's pretty though, and the street lamps are turning on and it's a pretty scenery. All is good.


These lights are pretty at summer, but suck at winter.

I'm pretty close to home and I'm heading to the local mart to buy groceries before it closes and I notice a Charmander on my tracking again. I notice the school is nearby and I'm thinking it must be the Charmander which spawns on the school grounds as told by the kids. I buy myself candy and head out to the school again.

I wander around the school yard, but instead I finally find this escapee on the road behind it. I manage to capture the Charmander on my first throw! Yes! I make my victory pose! This should conclude the day!


Found you!

I got my Charmander and I have candy! Man, this must be my best summer. I'm finding myself a bit worn out after having spent 4 hours chasing pokémon in one session, plus the session earlier on the same day, plus the whole previous day. It's still some way before I'm at home and what's this?...


Looks like another gym!

Man, these pokémons are so low level too and the highest level one is Magmar. My new Vaporeon is higher so I can't resist it, I must go conquer it. I beat the gym easily and find this Pincer near the gym yard. Perfect! Too bad my Vaporeon's slightly wounded which prevents me from leaving it to guard the gym, plus I've run out of potions. I'll let the Golbat I caught earlier the same day do it instead and soon after I finally arrive home.


Final catch of the day!

By rough estimate I probably got 40+ pokémons and around 15 km in travel distance.

15th of July Chapter I: Chasing a Wartortle in a Storm

It's raining today, meaning catching pokémon will be a bit more difficult with having to operate with one hand while other holding the umbrella. I'm starting my day with a trip to a shopping center in other part of the city to buy myself a reserve battery charger. Who knows maybe I'll find some cool new pokémon on my trip. Gotta get back fast for lunch, though.

I arrive to the shopping center and find a Rattata on the square. How typical, considering I've seen rats there during a night, before too. These mall Rattatas seem to be part of a tougher neighborhood, though. This guy escapes two pokéballs and flees.

I've purchased my battery and I'm about to leave, but my tracking spots a Wartortle nearby. How could I let opportunity like this pass? I can't. So I go outside and head to a smaller side mall. There's a lot of streets I'm having to cross and really heavy traffic, so the idea of wandering back and forth isn't too appealing. I'm really hoping to find the Wartortle on the side mall, but after wandering around the mall for a while I have to take shelter because at this point it's literally raining cats and dogs, but not Wartortles.


This Drowzee near my shelter didn't seem to mind the rain though.

I'm using the small outdoor mall pentice for shelter and find a Golbat on back corner of the mall. This guy's super tough, however, and I have to spend like over 15 pokéballs before I manage to catch him. While standing there for 5 minutes I also notice I am surrounded by people of other ethnicity than myself and I can hardly hear anyone speak my language. I realize the whole mall is full of shoppes and marts of other cultures and I'm probably the only white person around. This is interesting because in Finland this is particularly rare. I also feel a bit sad about the cultural differentiation.

Well, I pick a direction and go after the Wartortle which still appears 3 tracking points away. I think I walk for over 300 meters and the tracking just doesn't show any changes. I'm growing slightly frustrated given the traffic is heavy, I cross many streets and it's raining hard and the wind even manages to pull my umbrella fucking upside down once. I am just hoping the Wartortle will make it all worth the effort.

I find myself arriving the neighborhood where my friends lives at. Wartortle still on same spot on tracking. I head to the nearby forest, but the path takes to one direction only and after following it for a while I decide to turn back because it seems like an unlikely direction to get any further into.


This is where I find myself at after chasing after a Wartortle from an urban shopping center...

I call my friend asking if he's home in hopes of being able to go scavenge some food at his place and ask him to join me in the hunt. He's not home and tells me that rare catches only appear for a limited amount of time, so I make the call short and he wishes me luck. I am starving at this point. I've been fasting for over 16 hours and my lunch time is far past. I wander around a bit, but only finding I'm not getting any closer to the Wartortle. I decide I really need to get some food from the mart nearby, so I head in that direction and the Wartortle finally disappears, too.


Found him when I was buying myself food. These guys are everywhere in the malls and shopping centers.

In the end I had been chasing for the Wartortle over 30 minutes in heavy traffic and rain, starving, and finally defeated. Well played Wartortle! May you roam free!

After feeding myself I head home as my battery is starting to run low too. I catch a Gastly which is escaping the shopping center via a air ventilation tank and notice there's Squirtle and some other cool pokémons nearby, too, though my battery is about to die. I remember there's a library nearby and that some smaller libraries let you recharge your phone in them, even if you don't have your own charger. I find out they don't.


A Gastly escaping the shopping center through air ventilation.

On my way back home on bus I check out the reserve battery I bought and notice it's half full, so I plug my phone in and the catching can continue! This allowed me to engage with a Dragonair during the bus trip, wow! It got away though. :(

Back home. Got lots of basic catches plus a Golbat. Took also some good beating on all the gyms I came across with.

Darebee's an entirely free site run by fitness professionals which offers guides to effective programs and diets. I've been using them for 2 years and lost around 55 pounds and built a lot of muscle.

The programs offer variation, adjustable levels to keep you challenged regardless of your personal level and has great tips on staying motivated and eating the right stuff.

Anyone who finds themselves "quitting too soon:" It's about routine. When you've formed a routine out of the exercise, it's automatically a lot easier to keep up. It usually takes us about a month to form a routine of something, so if you can keep up for that period of time it should get easier.

Overwatch

I tried her out a bit in the PTR. Her mechanics feel pretty different from others' and it'll be interesting to see how she will affects the matches.

Healing from a location away from the heat of the battle seems like an interesting concept. I also noticed her hip fire seems pretty decent for medium range combat.

[Poll] Pokémon Go!

I was about to post here, but I made a journal topic. https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/21124/

Yeah, Go's not out in EU, but it ain't stopping us from flooding the US (I presume) servers!

Oh it is out in the UK? I need to check if it's officially out here then, too. Usually Europe does get everything last.

If you like to share your pokemon Go experiences, post them here!

Here's some of my experiences:

14th of July:

Strangers talked to: 9~
Pokémon caught: 30~ probably
Cool places found: many

Went out for the first time to only solely play Pókemon Go. Headed out to West, to a high hill top with a school building. I was amazed how cool looking place this was and thought if I ever got kids it'd be cool to have them go there. I didn't realize to take pics at this point yet.

There was also a guy sunbathing at the school yard and I felt slightly troubled to wander around him searching for Pokémon.

I was searching for Meowth at the school track field but gave up. Headed for a Weedle on a narrow side path behind the school and discovered some really cool steep old stone stairs. Didn't realize to take picture. Found a Parasect and a bomb shelter at the bottom of them.

Was wandering around a good while trying to locate a Psyduck on my tracking. Found a Staryou on a fountain where there was also one of the local gyms. I took good beating at the gym for still being unfamiliar with the mechanics. I also saw some chicks in the park enjoying the sun. Mostly Pidgeys.

Headed out home and found myself coming across a construction yard fence with a warning sign on it. Found out I was on the wrong side of it, in the construction area. I was there after a Koffing and didn't notice I had walked there. Climbed over and continued. Found Hypno near super market and young couple was also rejoicing that there was a Hypno nearby. I showed them the direction and asked if they had seen the Psyduck I had tried to locate. Battery died, went home.


Second journey same day: Went to a park behind the nearby hospital. GPS couldn't locate me. When it started working I finally found that Psyduck there, though.


So he jumped when I took the photo.

Ended to a really quiet neighborhood with very few pokémons. Discovered there were a few Eevees there, and a Nidoran ♂ near the side of the forest.


I think the Nidoran ♂ was somewhere around here.


Eevee in a quiet neighborhood.

Set my aims to Pokestop called "Artsy Trashcan" and a "Good Shepherd's Church" gym.


Kakuna from along the way.


Some pretty scenery from along the way.

GPS died when I got there. Set out to further Gym at playground way ahead.

Ran to three kids on bikes who asked if I was playing Go too. Chatted a bit about the game and one of them told he got over 500 Cp Scyther because he had a 10 km egg. Egg and "dick" share the same word in finnish, so after he spoke it out loud and we realized the subcontext we had a chuckle.


Was arriving to the playground. It was a cool atmosphere there.


Met this little guy also.

Battery died. Damn I need a new battery. I found myself at a familiar and melancholic area. It was the Ex-Zone. Headed home. Walked ½ hours without Go. :(

Last journey of the day. It was past 11 PM. Went towards South-East and came across several young guys wandering around the streets with their phones. When I stopped near a local gym belonging to team Mystic, which I am also part of, a guy who walked past me gave me a smug smile and nodded his head. I greeted him in response with a nod but couldn't keep my pokerface like he did.

Caught a pokémon near the gym and set my Raticate to guard there. A dad with his daughter greeted me and I was thinking they'd be commenting something about the game, when instead the father asked me to tell her daughter that man has visited the moon and he isn't lying to her about it. I answered "probably."

Went to a trail that was near to from where I walk to work and where I had seen Ghastly earlier. Ended to an open field and found a Magikarp in the trench.


This was better than the picture with Magikarp on it. D:

Tracking noted me of a nearby Golduck, but my GPS kept dying so I couldn't search properly.

Went to south to quieter neighborhood with very low activity until I tracked Squirtle and Gastly.

Wandered around searching for them around the houses and it was almost 12 am. I came to a dark and really steep downhill road covered entirely by tree canopy. It was surprisingly steep, really!


It was a surprisingly steep road! Picture may not convey it. But it was somehow cool moment still. D:

Squirtle and Gastly were there! As well as Rhyhorn! Felt like a really rewarding end for the day. Soon after, the battery died.


Gastly near the forest road in the finnish midnight.
Next up... buying a battery pack.

[Poll] Pokémon Go!

Wow, these poll results are surprising. Team Mystic here! \o/

Though apparently my friends had chosen team yellow in a party I was at recently and suggested we'd all join it so we can topple gyms together, but I didn't remember it being discussed. >_>

Ah, really nice character design. The character in the middle is awesome in particular.

Strictly For Commercial

Wow, so it's happening. All the good luck. :D
