KOKORO-HANE'S PROFILE

Lately, I have enjoyed MV. I adore its character generator and the ability to export at multiple OS systems. I do still favor VX Ace quite a bit though, especially since a lot more resources exist for it too. So I kinda go back and forth between the two.

I really need to release a project for 2k3 and XP though.

I am honestly not the best mapper in the world, I am seeking to improve, but honestly I really can't let go of my "so bad it's good" styling--this is mainly due, perhaps, since majority of the RPGs I love to make are of a comedic variety.

For example, you'll notice I love to experiment with weird tiling and having empty space. I don't know why but I like empty space or weird tiling.




I like to experiment with glitchy shadows, too, haha. Makes a feel of "being under of a cluster".

I do feel like I have improved somewhat. In my latest game, I quite like how I made the main character's quarters. There's a lot of stuff, it's messy, but that is the point--he lives where all the pipes and machines are and I did my best to put more effort in this map.


Working on a sequel to my game with purposely terrible and experimental maps, I am actually working on making maps that have more effort than the original due to the fact I have no time limit. Very simplistic, but yet, I love it that way, I feel it sets apart and makes the world in a really strange way. Maybe the improvement seems subtle, but it's there lol



Of course, I do have to recycle some originally bad maps, including the glitchy looking port, but I did make it look more like a port by adding broken boats, nets, and seafood (port edits by PandaMaru). I may like blank space maps to an extent, but even I felt the original was too naked--now it looks like a real port!


Honestly, these maps are still much better than my very very first maps in practice projects I used to make, oh my lord. But there is something I like about really experimenting with tiles, and yes they make weird results, but it's fun--even if it may be jarring to some, but i namely due it if it suits the world I am making (and for comedic fantasy, it suits well IMO). So hmmm... I guess I would describe my mapping style to be quite chaotic, but I try to do so within reason of the world I am making.

Final Fantasy X. Should be coming in the mail any day now!
And I'll probably try Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance...because it was inside my used PS2 Fat when I bought it xD

Since now I got a working PS2, aside from FF10, I also intend to get:
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Broken Angel
Tekken 4
Devil May Cry (5th Anniversary Collection)
Chrono Trigger / Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VII, VII, IV, XII
Innocent Life
Xenogears
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories
Tomb Raider

...and probably a bunch of other stuff, but yeah....lol

I am assuming this excludes RPG Maker games, so I shall just list commercial games...

RPGs Beaten:
Lunar Legend (1 time)
Diablo III (1 time)

RPGs haven't beaten yet:
Diablo (I think I was at the final boss, but ugh!)
Diablo II (because the disc has been misplaced...)
IceWind Dale (only because I oddly got stuck somewhere, and not a boss...literally stuck due to a door unable to be locked and I thoroughly cleaned the area)
IceWind Dale II (I simply just hadn't had time to finish it)
FATE series (it's fun but then you get to the harder dungeons)
Pokemon: Red Mystery Dungeon (damn you, Moltres!)
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (WHY RIKU?!)
Final Fantasy V (one party member poisoned, can't beat this boss I'm stuck)
Final Fantasy VI (also stuck on a boss, early since we're only a party of 3)
Kingdom Hearts (simply because MY PS2 CARD DECIDED TO DIE AND IT WORKED FINE YESTERDAY!)

Only reason I don't have more games listed is, most of my life I was a PC gamer since we couldn't afford to have game consoles. It wasn't until recently I bought a GBA and Playstation 2 of my own, in which now I can play a lot of the games I've wanted to play. Yay, time to expand on playing RPGs!
