LORDBLUEROUGE'S PROFILE

author=DE
Guys, I'm looking for two, now obscure, Japanese RPG Maker demo games, namely:

- KNight-Blade - Survivor of Hell Hound (for RPG Maker 95 (!), not the XP sequel)

- Abyss Diver #0 - The Xeno's Fortress (for RPG Maker 2000, not the VX sequel)

I've spent quite a bit of time digging through the net looking for these two, but all the links are dead.

I know it's a long shot, but maybe somebody has them stashed on their HD and could share!

EDIT: Just found the other topic, and surprisingly enough, there's Abyss Diver 0! That's one down. Still looking for Knight Blade.

Hi DE!

Welcome back to RMN ❤

Is this what you're looking for?




KNightBlade-The Survivor of Hell Hound(RM95).rar

A world two years after the end of the Fourth World War. Special forces "Hound dog of the hell" Cain, the last survival, was about to start a calm life in a remote village. However, following a certain incident, he would return to the battlefield again ....

SF-RPG set in the near future world. Depending on the situation, you may fight on a robot called Assault Gear, or you may face a strong enemy as it is. One piece I recommend as a mecha lover.

Please let me know!And I'll add it to the MasterList on the other thread.

I just downloaded it and gave it a spin, one of the CRAZY anime intros I've ever seen to an rpgmaker game!

Thanks for your contribution Faust! ❤

Yeah, part of the reason why I started this thread was because of exactly what you mentioned:

The issue is, every time I search (over the past decade, anyway), there are fewer and fewer references to those people online- it's how I got here this morning, in fact! Random memory followed by "I WILL SEARCH GAMINGW IN THE GOOGLE", followed by this thread. Like I've totally bummed myself out this morning, just due to the transient nature of things, and like how the vast majority of everything only exists in memory now?

Google seems to favor the most recent search results now,

(Like for instance, when someone had stolen the Phantom Legacy Fan Trailer I did awhile back, it became the first result on google, just because it was the most recent version to be uploaded to youtube)

But yeah, anything older than 5 years is considered irrelevant to the search engine – but it’s still out there, It’s just so much harder to find now because of google. If you guys have like, any old material you feel that’s worth sharing on a harddrive, please use this thread! I’d love to look at it. Shinan has been a big contributor to this thread and I can't thank him enough for it. As I mentioned previously, I only joined around 2007.

But I often look at the front page of GamingW as like a motivation booster and wonder what could've been. But I'm constantly going through the archives, just for info that simply just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, which is really unfortunate. Like, GamingW may not have been great at times, but similar to RMN, it still mattered to a lot of people.

-Dark Priest's Santa's Sled Racing.(does anyone still have this?)

I do btw. Well, SSR:II, which was the one DP, H3who, myself, Pyrate, and Moriason made (with Santa collecting shit and doing SICK JUMPS).

Upload this ASAP!! ❤

…I know I said no mean spirited stuff but…lol, it’s nice to know I can find some solace in the fact that, the Dooms series was just as hard to play through back then, as it is now. If anyone wants to take a shot at MISTERBIGT's magnum opus, "the voiced edition" is available on the archive thread:

Dooms 4: End Game - Voiced Edition (Non-RTP)(Temp Download)

I got it to work, but like TheGameArchivist, I definitely couldn't play through it.
It's not that it's a hard game, it's not that it's a bad game, it's just the content that makes it so challenging to play through.

It's definitely not the Eraserhead of rpgmaker games...but it's...it's something.

Kudos to anyone who can play through it.

Thanks.It`s the game i was thinking about.It`s old but i think complete and long with some nice things like the magic system.
LordBlueRouge(and everyone involved) ,you`re doing a great job with these old games.
A private torrent should be great.I can always seed .Maybe i have some old RM games,i will take a look.

kenlan, your comments mean the world, thank you! Thank you for mentioning this as well!

This is really just a bad idea and not needed. Like fuck, just type "nice" if that's what you wanna say. It's not hard.

Yes, but here’s the problem with leaving a 4 letter comment, (EDIT:as Red_Nova has already kind of mentioned.)


Here's one example:

The ScreenShot Survival XX thread

Darken posted this really great animated gif, of something he's working on, that utilizers Cherry's new picture feature for rpgmaker2003.

But often what he has in development, probably isn't substantial enough to submit to the site yet. But he still wants feedback. So he submits it to the screenshot topic thread instead:

This picture got, maximum, maybe 5 comments before it got pushed off the next page, before everyone forgot about it - but It's a great example of what Cherry's new picture feature can do for rpgmaker2003 games, that people should see.

5 comments maximum, all each pretty much saying the same thing; that they liked it - it probably would've gotten more, but we'll never know, Because RMN's forum thread is setup with a 20 post page limit. So let's look at an example without this 20 post page limit.

Example 2:

JosephSeraph's animated loser.gif for his game Project HEAVEN'S DOOR.(which is no longer on the frontpage)

This is probably one of the best animated gifs I've seen this year for an rpgmaker game.

Maximum 7 comments, these comments are all varied and different, but unlike the last example, can be interpreted in many different ways, not necessarily stating whether they liked it or not.

We're not leaving four letter words here - no one has the time to leave a four letter word on RMN, because when people want to leave a comment on RMN, they often want to leave something substantial enough so the developer can pursue these ideas further, as seen in these examples.

saying "nice" 5 times in a row on the forum thread, not only clutters up the page but it discourages anyone from commenting on that particular work further, because it feels redundant and can be interpreted in so many different ways.

You'll also notice a glaring omission on this example: I haven't comment on JosephSeraph's picture yet - because I simply don't have the time to - but I still want him to know that I like it and I want to do so quickly and efficiently.


You guys need to understand something here:

Everyone comes from all different walks of life, and language can be interpreted in so many different ways: Not everyone is going to use the site in the same way you guys do or within the same amount of time, or even within the same language - that's why there really needs to be more options for this kind of feedback.

Besides, I hate the idea of the front page becoming a case of circle-jerked thumbsing to each other. Then only the pretty-pretty-vapid would show up instead of everyone getting a chance to be seen.

...I can understand everyone's concern with this as well, but the truth is, this is already happening on RMN to a certain extent with how the buzz algorithm works - There are still many many games that are being buried through community involvement - this is always going to be a problem - even on Newgrounds.

So forget about the rating and correlating "good screenshots" on RMN, for a sec - What this new feature ultimately comes down, even if the Likes/Votes were self contained to the screenshot page itself is:

A developer logs into RMN and submits a screenshot, ultimately what they want to know is if anyone likes their work and how many.

With this new feature, now they'll know, and it will give them the motivation to pursue their ideas further. This is just more immediate and direct feedback for the developer, for those who don't have the time to do it.

In the time it takes me to make one comment on RMN, I could literally Like/Vote on 10 or 50 RMN screenshots a day. Because I really want you guys to know how much I like your stuff, you guys post some pretty great stuff - but without this feature, you're not giving me a chance to do that, my times very limited these days.

EDIT: Yea, I have to agree with Sooz and InfectionFile here, downvoting won't work on a site like RMN in particular.

Downvoting works on Newgrounds, because it's a rating that's 1 out of 5 and it's function is two folded: it's a way to regulate content, that's not up to the quality of the community/site but it's also way to accurately assess content - because bad content on newgrounds is eventually deleted; but there's always that opportunity and creative incentive to submit to new content for a better score.

With RMN, if there's an option to downvote pictures, I can see someone being unfortunate stuck with something like a -5 and the problem with that, is that there is no incentive to pursue the creative idea further - it just tells the developer that it's bad without telling them why and they're reminded of it, every time they log in.

What's going to happen is that, it's going be a lot like what happened to Dastrem, where even though his games were accepted onto RMN. He was eventually driven away, because everyone in our community told him his games were bad.
