KYLAILA'S PROFILE

What are your thoughts on the 3-Tile Rule?
It is a neat guideline. Nothing more and nothing compulsory.

What is your idea of a wonderful game make session?
Sketching rough ideas and then diving right in. I like surprising with many hidden assets. It may involve pencils.

What is your favourite genre of game and why?
For commercial games.. Dungeon Crawler.
They are nice to relax to and are usually decent. Sometimes difficult, too, yay! I tend to prefer first peron over third person ones. I really enjoy planning out my team composition and the skills they will use while having a laid-back gameplay experience.

For RM games .. short Comedy or story-based exploration games. I often like to play them to take a break from other gameplay-focused games, so I am looking for more story. With only one or few creators involved, you can really see how games are used as a medium to express oneself. I love seeing how these influences and the personalities shine through in their games.
I also love visual novels.

How often do you gammak?
I don't gammak.

What's your best game-centric pick-up line?
I'd like to devour you.
(if you get the reference, you already won)

What do you look for in a husbando/waifu/game make partner?
Someone confident, reliable, a fun to be around person. They need to be open-minded. But most importantly someone I can grow and improve together with. Mistakes and setbacks are chances to learn and grow as a person and maker.

What got you into making games?
I've been playing videogames ever since I was two years old. I love analyzing them, but I don't think I did that back then. I don't gammak, though.

What are you most proud of, game-wise?
Having an easy time with difficult games.

Do you believe in love at first site?
No, I think love is nurtured and grows over time. I dived into RMN with the goal to contribute and do what I wanted to do, and I stayed because I fell in love with the many lovely people and makers around.

Are religious undertones in a game important to you?
No, but they can make great additions if used properly. Focus on properly. Many many fail.

What is the prettiest game you ever played and why? Am I prettier?
Okami, so pretty, so stylish, such a coherent experience in all areas! Plus Japan. Loads and loads of Japanese flair.

What is the last game you made/played, and did you enjoy it?
The last game I played was Grim Dawn. It's a hack n slash RPG with a nice range of customization. I really enjoy planning and tweaking the skill trees. Right now I am only slowly progressing through the highest difficulty with my squishy aether-death cannon.

What have you always wanted to implement/create but haven't yet?
There is nothing I really want or need to do. There was a game I designed in my head as a way to work through an emotional journey of sorts. It was very helpful, but I never intended to actually make it happen.
The idea revolved around visiting different worlds which are changing (and your interactions with them, too) as you progress the story.
It would shift between conversation via chat, hinting at working through emotional blocks, and visiting different maps/worlds representing certain emotions using meditation.

What have you contributed to our sositey?
I do a number of small things, but mainly I write reviews for short games!
I also translated two games (being Erayu and Deep8), contributed to a couple of events, did a few art assets or sketches here and there, wrote a couple of articles and am my kind self around the boards.

Where do you come from, where do you go, where do you come from Cotton-Eye Joe?
I am German, I go out to eat Schnitzel and beat up Nazis.

Rips, RTP or custom? Discuss.
I actually really like RTP, but I'm fine as long as it comes well together.

Are games art? Discuss.
Yes and no. Not every sketch and scribble is art, either.
Games definitely can be art and certainly have an influence on us as a medium. I'd love see more games add value to it.
(Games like Okami, Shadow of the Colossus or various SMT titles - hey, any chance to name them is good!)

Do you indulge in gammak abuse of any kind? If so, detail.
I once pixeled resources. I got quite wound up in it and my mental images became pixelated. Any.. kind.. of mental image. Does that count?

You've just been told RMN is going down indefinitely. What do you do?
If it is still up I will make a thread about the apocalypse, gathering people to mourn the dreaded fall of humanity and its last resort, RMN!
Otherwise, I'll cry a mental tear and move on with my life. I do have a number of contacts I can keep in touch with. I'd hope to meat some of you guys elsewhere.

2k/3 or XP? Explain.
2k3. I really like the RTP-art-style, and it reminds me of plenty pleasant games.

What is your favourite RTP sound effect and why?
Tough call .. I think I'll go with the jump. It is so cute and reminds me of many fun scenes. Next would be the the rain or wave sound (both sea and rain are so lovely and relaxing)

Which corner of the internet would you take me on an internet date and why?
A quiet forum visited by only very few, so we can talk at ease. I value a good conversation and we can take it from there.

Gameplay, Graphics, Story or Sound? Which do you prefer in a date?
Hmmm Sound. Yes.
