SAILERIUS'S PROFILE
Something happened to me last night when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go. I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky. It was moving irregularly. Suddenly, there was intense light all around. And when I came to, I was home.
What do you think happened to me?

Out of curiosity, why do you recommend against fighting Revenants? I don't recall ever really having a problem with them.

I should also add that a large volume of the traffic I get is from Google searches that cause people to stumble across the website. Search terms related to "complete rpg maker games", "free indie rpgs", and "rpg maker 2003 games" (wtf? this is always more prominent than xp in terms of search results) bring a couple thousand visitors a week.
EDIT: While I'm at it, I should say that networking is a huge contributor to the game's success over the past couple years. I talk openly about the game with my friends and get their suggestions. Some of them tell their friends about it, etc etc. Deviantart has probably been my biggest hit in terms of networking; some of the people who have contributed artistically to the game have followings of their own that monitor the game's progress.

Vacant Sky 2010 Roundup
The only non-RM sites where I posted Act III were Youtube, Twitter, and DeviantArt. After a day or so, a bunch of other sites started mirroring it on their own, so I have no idea exactly how many places are hosting it now. I also sent out emails to a bunch of indie mailing lists that I'm a part of, as well as groups and circles at my school and in the local indie scene.
I'm planning to make a big release event out of the Complete Edition. I've been holding back from really promoting it outside of the indie scene until then, since the old Act I is pretty discouraging and I don't want to taint potential players' first impressions with it. If you have any suggestions for ways to market it that I haven't thought of, I'd love to hear.

2010 Misao Winners
The big thing that was different was that there was a preliminary round where categories were chosen and voted on. I think the only thing about the old system that I miss was that part. You got some cool and creative categories.

Hmmm....that means either you find the battle system boring, or the battles themselves are lacking, or the reward for battles isn't high enough. HR isn't for everybody, I suppose.
But yes, there is an element of risk in exploration. But I hope I compensated enough with the reward. One thing you could do is look at the worldmap I posted here and determine ahead of time whether you need to go somewhere or not.
I don't think it's a problem with the battles, it's just that random encounters is a mechanic I really hate. In my mind, it turns battles into an interruption instead of something I'm doing on my own terms. That's part of why oldschool RPGs have a hard time grabbing me. But that's just my opinion.

I'm enjoying the game so far (for the most part), but man, the random encounters really kill it for me. Especially on the world map. It really kills my spirit of exploration when I have to look across the world map, guess how many random encounters I'll have to get in along the way, and then weigh whether or not it's actually worth it to look over there.
Why are a lot of us dicks?

People here are actually helpful and don't just post "this loooks like shit" or "this looks awesome" without offering anything else.
Are we talking about the same site?

You could try uninstalling the MS Mincho font and then reinstalling it from my font download.
That did it. Thanks!
