Tying up loose ends in A Dance with Dragons.

Gods, I love this series.

Your abandoned game ideas?

The Fifth Dimension
This was an incredibly shitty RPG, but it was one that I got rather far into, almost having about 3-5 hours of gameplay when my hard drive failed. Even though it sucked, nostalgia makes me miss it.

Legacy of the Stars
Another shitty RPG of mine from back when I was still a bit of a noob. It had a rather solid cast of characters, but the game itself was a train wreck.

Star Harvester
Another shitty project that went nowhere. It had an all female cast of playable characters though.

First Fantasy
This is actually a project I wouldn't mind doing had I had the time and effort to actually put it together. The game was meant to be a remake of Final Fantasy 1 with a more complex story. At the beginning, you could form your party Seiken Densetsu 3 style, with each player representing one of eight classes (the originals + summoner and blue mage). Ultimately, time keeps the project in limbo, though if I do pick it up, it's not the only "nth Fantasy" I want to do. I've got solid ideas for a "Second Fantasy", "Seventh Fantasy", and "Eleventh Fantasy", but like I said, time...

Your abandoned game ideas?

Hmmm, let me see what comes to mind.

Chrono Break
I know, right? The story was a prequel to Chrono Trigger set on a distant planet. The main character is tricked into activating the Chrono Break, which stops the flow of time, though only the main character (and the main antagonists as well as monsters, etc.) are unaffected. However, the main character is the Chrono Trigger, and is capable of restoring the flow of time to other characters and objects, allowing them to join the party. Ultimately, the player encounters Schala, who has traveled back in time to stop the birth of Lavos, who originates on this planet.
Ultimately, the scope was too large and I had little incentive to go anywhere with the project.

Star Ocean: Something or Other
Another fangame... >_> This one was pretty neat in the planning stage, and I had a rather complex cast of characters. You could choose one of three characters as your player character and different characters were recruited depending on who you played as. Again, scope killed it.

I've got more, which I'll share later.

Nothing Is Perfect

My view on all of this is that, if there is at least one aspect of a game that can be improved, then the game is not perfect.

On a 5/5 scale, it's kind of difficult to score something like that, so most of the time we just round up to 5. If the scoring system was by 10 or 100, then I could see this statement being more substantial, but docking a game a full 20% for rather tiny issues doesn't make sense to me.

[RM2k3] One Big Map vs. Several Smaller Ones

Are there any disadvantages, in a technical sense, to using one big map for a field map over several smaller ones in RPG Maker 2003?

For instance, in Final Fantasy XII, each region is split into several smaller sub-areas. While in Star Ocean 4, each region is one giant map.

i want to emulate the Star Ocean 4 style for the overworld regions, but would it affect the game's performance? Will there be slowdown and lag? Or is there no difference?

It HAS to be Kyrsty though, she didn't die the first night!

[MAFIA] The Salem Witch Trials of November

You know... if Natook is lying... and he was a witch along with oh_no, Solitayre, and LWG... this would suck. A lot.

With that said, I will trust you... if I'm wrong, it's game over anyhow.

Mayor, at this point, if you are alive, please kill one of Chaos, Zim, YM, or Kyrsty.
