M.O.G. Graphics

I am not confident in my artistic abilities in the slightest. Which is probably the best reason to join, right?

M.O.G. Music

I figure I'd be lucky if I could manage to make one track.

Bah! What the hey. I'll give it a try.

Content creation (artistic)

Gee, both of those look great, BD! Though, to answer the question, no, the first tachie isn't too much.

Also, anytime you want to actually want make an ID-claim to any of those unlisted characters, just let me us know, 'kay?

I feel like asking questions about YOUUUU

Do you finish most games you start? Or do you get bored quickly?
I have no idea, to be honest. I know I made a mess of games within a week before coming to RMN. I deleted a lot of stuff after that first visit. I'm basically down to the games attributed to my account, though, there's maybe one or two ideas still floating in my head that have gone nowhere since those days.


What is your stance towards fizzy drinks? Do you think they are sugary diabetes?
I do like me the sodas, but have tended to stay away from them in the past few years.


What is your idea of the perfect RPG Maker game? One that will utterly demolish all the other RPG Maker games and be heralded as the best of all time? How will you make it?
I'm making it right now!

More seriously, I just make what I want to make, limited to what meager abilities I have. Of course, I do try to explore the bounds of those abilities. Maybe stretch storytelling in one game, maybe stretch game mechanics in another. Maybe my ideas work out, maybe they don't, but, they will always cause headaches. That's part and parcel to gam mak, though.


Do you hate how often time goes past? Or do you like it?
It is one of the greatest ironies of the universe that time seems to pass slower when you're doing nothing, and it passes faster when you're enjoying yourself.


Do you sometimes feel like you're special, and then you realize that you're not? How does this make you feel?
Vaguely appropriate anecdote: We jokingly call my eldest brother omnipresent, since he's been to more places than the rest of the family. We jokingly call my next oldest brother omniscient, as he studied philosophy in college. As part of this joke, me, being the youngest of the three, ever taking what's left, am omnipotent.

Chance Encounter Review

I confess that some text for the duel was in there for the purpose of misleading players. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. Getting external playtesters would have probably made that part, amongst other things, better. That I had none probably hurt this game a lot. Then again, my track record on contest games is pretty crappy to begin with. I can't really point to a game made in the context of a contest, and say, "This was actually a good game." I may think that when I release it, but, I am quick to be proven otherwise.

I wish it did not have to be this way...

I was really looking forward to another demo of this game! If it didn't happen this year, I kinda figured it would happen early next year. With any amount of hope, the wait merely seems to be a bit longer than I had originally anticipated.

Saying that, I made the decision to cancel a game fairly recently. I may not have been working on it for years on end, but, still, it was a tough choice to make. Even as the evidence continued to mount, and point in that dire direction, I wavered on the decision, hoping that the situation would change. That someone would come along, and give me a morale boost, amongst other things. I'm kinda thinking that's what's happening in regards to this? I could be going out on a limb, here.

Let's work on your game descriptions!

Are you still being denied based on the description, redwall? Hrm. Let me think a bit.

I seem to recall you mentioning that stats did not increase on level-up. Which is fine. I can think of a few games that do this. If there's a gameplay mechanic that involves them going up, that might be something to mention in a separate section of the description. Outside of that, I fear I have little else to recommend for you.

Summer Review Jam! (week 9 space'd)

Did somebody mention cherry pie?

Oh. Uh, never mind!

Content creation (technical)

Huh. I thought ID #20 was taken. Apparently, Fuyuki (the character, not the user of the same name) having an ID of 20 is fine. That was one of the things I was going to note too.

Never mind!

Content creation (artistic)

I know where to find Mister Help File. I'm just not sure where he said that "AFF UP/DOWN" can be used as a replacement for "AFFECTION UP/DOWN". Does that make more sense?

Anywho, I'm starting to think that I'd go over the files, compile notes on what I think would be appropriate changes, explain why I think they should be that way, and send you a message when I'm done. That might take quite some time, though!
