I CAN'T NOT MAKE GAMES.

I have enough lockerspace to hold an episode of Friends.

"We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!

Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify
(or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause CLOWNS MUST STAND."

- TW/IFS, "All The World Is A Stage Dive"
Iron Gaia
As the only human awake on board a space station controlled by an insane AI with delusions of deification, you must unravel the mystery of your own identity and discover: "What is the Iron Gaia?"

Release Something! Day IV: Discussion Thread!

Starless Umbra by dragonheartman CONTINUED

My enthusiasm for starless umbra is definitely waning.

The cause?

The lack of variety and the complete lack of challenge in the battles. I'm at the part near the annoying but fun mine cart minigame (impressive coding, btw!) and basically the only regular enemies I've fought so far are slimes and enemies that behave the same as slimes, hitting my characters for attacks that deal 4 damage (out of ~89-~147 HP!) or attacks that miss 80% of the time, and then die in two hits. The game has tons of custom systems for acquiring all kinds of new skills and abilities (admittedly, I still don't understand exactly how saps are used up as part of the gem system, and so far would suggestion cutting them out entirely, and I have numerous bugs report about the gem fusing...) but the problem is that literally all of the fights are too easy to REQUIRE using Gem techs or casting essences! The only difference having these skills learned makes is being able to effortlessly destroy pathetically non-threatening enemies one way or being able to effortlessly destroy pathetically non-threatening enemies another way.

THE ENEMIES REALLY, REALLY NEED WORK, THEY ARE RUINING ONE OF THE MOST POLISHED, PLAYABLE GAMES I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED IN RPGMAKER. Dragonheartman, ADDRESS THIS SHIT, DOG. KTHXBAI!

End rant.

Anyone else tried Mage Duel/Shadowrun Missions? They're definitely not the most overlooked games, I know, but I feel like everything is at least slightly overlooked in the wake of the big dogs, SE:B, PL, and SU. And I feel like....two....people have played Shadowrun: Missions. :(

Also, I tried playing Hellucination again last night AND STILL CAN'T GET PAST THAT STUPID BOSS AFTER LIKE FIVE TRIES. Grrr. >:(

[Demo] MAGE DUEL

Totally tentative pseudo guesstimate maybe possible release date: Januaryish?

Give or take 60 days.

NO PROMISES.

Shadowrun Missions: A Release Something Day Special!

Thanks for your feedback, guys!

If I get twenty more people saying things equally as positive, I might consider reopening this game to development. Right now I sort of consider it overly ambitious and failed project #562. Maybe if I had a team of talented dudes working under me we could finish this, but I think it's beyond my ability to fly solo, even though the game itself was, ironically enough, only going to be 2-3 hours long, the branching paths and choices would have made it take literally thousands of man-hours of development time.

Then again, I've worked so much on it already. ::sigh:: Oh well.

Anyone else had a chance to play it?

Release Something! Day IV: Discussion Thread!

I thought that was going to be this weekend.

What was the last thing you ate?

White Cheddar rice cakes.

Japanese Girl Sensation: Virtual Boyfriends

This is very low on the list of bizarre shit going on in Japan.

This. Also...I mean, this is the culture that created Dead Or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, another placebo for loneliness, only one directed at guys. So none of this surprises me, really.

Remember Jack Thompson, the dude who blamed everything on videogames?

I'VE KNOWN THIS WAS IN THE WORKS FOR A WHILE, BUT THIS MAKES MY DAY YEAR LIFE SO MUCH BETTER.

Thank God they FINALLY REALIZED THAT HE'S COMPLETELY INSANE.

Unites States prepares for Martial Law on Oct. 1st. Apparently.

Martial law is a state of millitary rule by fiat or de factor where democracy and civil rights are entirely suspended. Using the army for riot control is not the same as martial law.

Um, you could also just use the shift key if you disagree with me.

o no you di'int. :)

[DEMO] Phantom Legacy Demo I

I found this a little annoying too, but obviously not as much as WIP.
