What are you thinking about right now?

I, Ocean, the foodmonster, have eaten too much today.

Paradise Blue

Haha, glad you enjoyed! Yeah I knew the limited encounters might be an issue but one of the most important things needed for the characters was the ABP so I needed a way to have players be able to acquire ABP just in case they need to switch classes or abilities and have no other enemies to defeat. Level 1 game is possible so I wasn't worried about that for EXP.

What's your day job? Talk about it!

I work in the stockroom part of a company, basically all the material that comes in the company goes through us and I put in the quantities and types of material that we got in that day so it can be inspected.

Lots of repetition, but I'm pretty good with numbers and computers so tracking things on excel sheets, putting the data in oracle and all is no prob for me. End of the month can get heavy with work and overtime, which isn't bad paycheck wise, it just tends to conflict with RPG Projects and such a fair amount of the time. The tedium and boringness of the job can get to me, but it's far from the worst job I've had. Mostly I kind of have a feeling that I can probably do better, but I'm not sure what? (And more free time/vacation time would be SERIOUSLY appreciated, I had a lil less than 2 weeks vacation time and I am already down to like 4 days left and it's still July. I squandered most of that time on actually being sick... :< )

I have done pixel commissions on the side, but recently I've been putting that on a hold so I can finish my own projects. I still have a lot on backlog!

I want to go commercial with my games but I always have a sense that I'm not good enough for that, so it's something i'm working towards because I feel if they are going to pay for something, I want it to be worth it.

It is basically like, going from your young self thinking you'd be a videogame programmer or own a gamedev company and then at 31 years old you realize you work in a stock room.

Someone plz hire me, don't worry I bring in my own food I might not eat yours.... maybe

Mystic Sunrise Review

Mystical Sunrise does sound like an awesome, tasty alcoholic drink. I want one now!

Thanks for the review! I felt that seems pretty fair for score and all. To be honest, yeah I was focused more on gameplay stuff and making it work rather than the story bits. Would have been a good idea to have someone do the story while I work on the gameplay/graphics so I didn't have to stretch myself and rush it out because of lack of time. Deadline was a major factor in a lot of the decisions, sadly!

One idea I had for example was having branching paths, so you could choose to either go down and continue on the path you're on, or go right and go to a new area instead.

I do like the idea of Myra and Gideon parting ways for a bit... :O

Square-Enix announces new Seiken Densetsu title

The 3D parts of the trailer are for Rise of Mana, which they're adding FFA characters to it, and I've heard they're adding Legend of Mana characters as well.

I think the end of it is the announcement of something in production but we have no info about what it's going to be on or anything other than the Seiken Densetsu 1 logo on it. Last time they tried to remake FFA, we got Sword of Mana out of it, and it was bad (except the graphics). I worry what'll come about this time.

Rubi

I certainly won't stop you! :D

The battles were kind of boring. I almost wanted to see a game solely focused on solving puzzles to catch sheep, as oppose to slogging through uninspired RPG battles.

Yeah I got this feedback on mine, and basically I wasn't home the entirety of Saturday, and Sunday I was out in the morning, started working on a board game/mini game type of thing with cazquest, then took a nap and fell asleep too long and had to rush out my entry last minute. Sorry for the boring battles, I really didn't mean to have them in there at all! Those arrows on the floor were meant to be used but I didn't have tiiiime.

I enjoyed this event though. Poor Ocean's Dream, even in a dating sim Ocean is all ;^;

@Ocean...ROFLMAO at the "Boss" fight and your coworkers. You have a wicked sense of humor.

hahaha thanks! I had to super rush this but I'm glad it worked out!

RMN Developer Profiles


And a bit about myself, I am a pixel artist, a few games under my belt, and I have composed some songs in the past. Island Sky and Paradise Blue have examples of stuff I've made. That class is entirely cazs fault she made me write it >:|

I've been trying to improve in all areas but I feel writing and coding are still my weakest areas. I didn't wanna make the chart too high in any category because I know I still have a long way to go before I can feel like a professional in anything.
Other than being a foodmonster. I'm a professional foodmonster. And lazyperson.
