Anyone want to lend a guy a hand? Please tell me it doesn't mean no more RM2k3 for me =(

Game Drive?

Hey, someone pinged me that this topic had been made so I thought I'd best log in and offer an explanation.

Very simply - real life got in the way. My internet presence had diminished considerably and I'm currently trying to work on too many things in my own time to actually give any individual hobby the time it requires.

Usually I'll get home from work, eat dinner, and either sit and binge anime with the missus, sit and play a game while the missus backseat games the entire time, sit on RPG Maker, sit in PhotoShop drawing a comic, try and fail to learn a little more GML, make retro game reviews for YouTube/ Blip, work on a cosplay, or, y'know go out and socialise or take the missus out for a meal/ a movie/ whatever.

I guess I need to be realistic about the amount of time I have available to me from now on.

To everybody who was involved in the Game Drive, I apologise for not putting up a firm "I'm too busy to keep running this" post. Anyone who wants to keep going, fantastic, by all means please do so.

Start You At Level 35 and Reset You to Level 1

I was considering having ths skills be something you find or purchase, such as books or scrolls that destruct after one use. They could also not be used unless you had the required stats to stop you finding/ buying the equivalent of Ultima right away.

When the party are Lv 35ish at the start they will have a handful of skills each, maybe 4 or 5, by the time you reach that level again you could have learned a lot more.

The villain of the piece is a traitor, basically he's attemtping to overthrow the government with the classic "How can you let the people decide what they want? The people don't know what they want! They're also selfish! They'll never see the big picture! They need to be told what's best for them - that's the job of a true leader!" and the party is sent to bring him in. The villain, after defeating you, uses a machine to extract your powers and physically weakens you, before telling you to go home and show them what he's done to some of the land's finest men. It's all to make a statement and send a message.

References in gaems

I like little references and have been guilty of putting in-jokes in my work, but only in-jokes that are so subtle you'd have literally had to have been there, otherwise it just looks like a normal line of dialogue.

Triple Triad is the reason why I have 400 hours on my FF8 save


^This. Triple Triad was addicting

Start You At Level 35 and Reset You to Level 1

Hey guys, first of all, yes, I am alive. Second of all, I was thinking of opening my game with the party at levels 34, 37 and 35 respectively, having the player go through a dungeon area kicking arse and taking names, and reach the boss. At this point in the game the boss will, in this order
1 - Overpower you
2 - Strip you down to level 1, removing all your abilities and equipment
3 - Toss you off his airship

From there on out the game's structure would be similar to that of a normal RPG, you slowly gain your levels again, buy your weapons again, relearn your skills, and so on and so forth.

As for why I'm considering opening the game this way, it shows the player the kind of powers and abilities they'll get to play with, let's them learn how the game is going to work. It also allows me to get straight to some action and get the player engaged straight off the bat. By then taking the powers away, the player has a reason to hate the villain, has a reason to fear the villain as they got their arses handed to them, and knows the potential of each one of their characters.

Of course it could backfire, throw the player off, then make the player simply stop playing and leave the room when they're demoted.

What do you guys think?

marvel vs capcom 3

Game came out in the UK today, been playing it most of the morning. Currently deciding if I'm going to stick with my MVC2 team of Spidey, Iron Man and Wolverine (original, I know), or start maining a combo of Phoenix, X-23 and Storm. Kinda disappointed in Zero BTW, gotta say.

Gamertag is Afr0Blu3 if anyone wants a match anytime

Just something I've been working on, it'd suit a thug in a Streets of Rage style game, set in that late 80s/ early 90s Judge Dredd, Terminator, etc future.

Here it is animated


Here's the sheet


Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated
