MORRIGHAN'S PROFILE

author=SnowOwl
Jesus, stop acting like such a special snowflake, I'm not spitting on any language. I'm just saying it like anyone would see it. You wanna name it project bad, sure, be my guest. Just saying, it might not be the best idea if you want to be taken seriously.
The name of a game is the first thing you see, and I assure you that most people probably will think it's a comedy game with a name like that, even if it's super serious bizniz in Celtic.
At least change the name to Badb Catha so that it's understood that it's a name. Most people don't know Celtic, and it's not like it's THAT important that you call it precisely project bad(b), right?

It's not even the title of the game... It's just a placeholder. I don't see the need to change it. It's clearly explained. It's the first thing you see when reading my original post (as I've explained before...).

Anyways I'm not going to argue over this any further. If you have actual helpful suggestions besides something that isn't even a problem (since it's clearly explained) than feel free to make them.

Don't really care if asshole means wonderful in dingdongian,
just like I don't care that bad means whatever in Celtic lore. It's hard to take project bad seriously.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but it's kind of rude of you to spit upon another language. I've already explained it and even added a pronunciation for it in my main post. If you still have a problem then I guess it can't be helped.

Also it's not just "bad," it's "Badb." I think the general public is intelligent enough to know the difference... Especially since I have it explained first thing in my original post.

Embedding SC on this site is done a bit differently than usual. Did you check out the "New to RMN?" article under the Community tab?

Adding an imbedded Soundcloud is a littlelot kludgey but it's there.

On SoundCloud, go to the track's page, then click Share, then select Embed, copy the URL
ie:
<iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/80463690&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=true"></iframe>

You see this section:
url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/80463690

Copy this track ID, and put them in soundcloud tags:

[soundcloud]80463690[/soundcloud]

Oh, I saw that but I read it as "copy url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/80463690" instead of just the ID.

Thanks!

Well, I updated and added an example of voice-work but for some reason it says "This track is currently not available," over the soundcloud even though I have it set to public.

Can someone tell me if it appears this way for them too? If it does try clicking on it and seeing if it takes you to my page where it should be available to play. Also if anyone knows how to fix this issue be a sport and do share! Thanks!

EDIT: Problem has been solved!

What are your views about and how skilled would you say you are when it comes to writing:
-Characters,
-Character development,
-Plot,
-and Dialogs?

Would you instead be ready to help another game designer with their project?

When I am writing character development and dialogs I use a method that I have found works very well in other stories (and the novel I am currently working on). I'm not a writer when writing. I am a character. I have to think, what would I do in this situation? How would I solve this particular problem? Do I stand and fight, or do I run? In this way my mind isn't just in writing mode, but it's in and apart of the world that I'm writing about.

Dialogue has to feel normal and not jarring to the player. Some cases this is obviously not possible as the game is set in a fantasy setting so the speech of say a deity or a Fomorian isn't exactly going to fit that "normal" speech mold.

The way I want to do plot development for Project Badb is a bit different from the norm, and I am not certain at this time if it is even possible with RPG Maker. I want to give the player choices, and with those choices consequences (whether they be good or bad consequences depends on the choice made). I see Project Badb as being a trilogy of games with each game focusing on a different aspect of war (three different Goddesses).

For the first game plot development will largely focus on the "Great Fog" and the political landscape of Aramoch. The political struggle within the game will focus on a ban of all magick within Aramoch, and how this has affected a continent that is largely made up of magical beings. Most of the Tuatha Dé Dananns have grown suspicious and resentful towards any forms of magick. With the coming of the Great Fog their resentment towards the Gods and the Goddesses (deities who have made magick possible in Aramoch) is at an all time high, as they believe they are being punished.

Corrupt politicians use the suspicions of the masses to their advantage making ridiculous laws and bans against magick, claiming that it is for the protection of all Tuatha Dé Dananns (in truth they seek to stay in power). Some are now going so far as to try and push new laws and bans against the worship of all deities, saying that nothing but pain and suffering has resulted in the Tuatha Dé Dananns' involvement with the different deities over the course of history. In time you (the player) may begin to ask if maybe the involvement of the deities really has caused nothing but suffering...

How skilled would I say I am as a writer? Well, I know I'm better than quite a bit of published authors (this may sound extremely arrogant to some, but please go read one of Terry Goodkind's Sword of the Truth books... I just got done through cringing through the fourth one in the series and have yet to gain the needed courage required to slog through the fifth book in the series. Surprisingly it has a rating of 4/5 on amazon...). I'm fairly confident in my ability as a writer, but I know I'm still not the best obviously. I work at it each day and get better though.

Now to answer your last question: "Would you instead be ready to help another game designer with their project?" My answer: I would be willing to help others if they were willing to help me. I don't believe that's an unfair exchange. If someone presents a project that interests me enough than I might even be willing to help without asking for help in return.
