Recommend me a game with villain as protagonist

Can't go wrong with Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen.

Bye (Update: Maybe not)

Okay, so, update:

The fire didn't hit my unit nearly as bad as I thought it would. The water damage was extensive and there was some flooding, but somehow most of my electronics survived - my computer (and most importantly hard drives) included.

To be honest, I never expected things to turn out as well as they did.

When Emergency Services loaded us onto city busses and took us to a nearby church for registration the fires were still burning, water was pouring off the balcony, and I was told that it would be like this for hours. I thought everything I owned was gone, and, honestly I'm very surprised to see that wasn't the case.

So, good news. I got off easy, and I'll be able to make weird pre-rendered 3D games for the internet... hopefully soon. I've been approved for a new apartment and I'll be moving in on the first. After everything's settled, and, assuming my luck holds I should be able to restart development soon, maybe in a few months or so.

Thanks again for the support the community has shown me. It's been difficult, but, I think I'm on the home stretch now.

I appreciate the thought, but again, I'll be fine financially, and getting money from the internet won't really speed up production.

I need to remake a lot of models from scratch, which is going to mean tracking down reference images on google, modelling, making new procedural textures, making new regular textures.



Stuff like this is pretty complex, even if I do use a lot of CC0 models, I'll need to make the majority of the greebles myself.

So, again, this isn't really a money issue, it's a time issue.

Sorry to hear, man. What a total crapshoot. Glad you're OK, though.

If and when you get the chance, start a GoFundMe page and link it here, so that people who have spare bucks can help chip in to replace your computer and other lost belongings.

Hang in there.


Like I said, I've got Tenant's Insurance, and most of what I owned only really had sentimental value. I do appreciate the concern, but I'm not really in any financial danger, and I wouldn't feel right asking for money here.

Even the computer itself was something I built in 2015, and not really top of the line any more.

Oof. What a catastrophe. ;_;

Noooo my favourite person and project on RMN


Yeah... you always hear about this stuff on the news, then it happens to you.

Well, I'm not gone for good, and the fire didn't destroy my interest in spaceships, 3D art, or making unusual menu systems in 20 year old Japanese software.

But, realistically, it'll be awhile.

Shit man, very sorry to hear about this. I hope we can see you on the road again someday.

Damn wtf, my condolences on the situation Your projects were really cool and you helped bring back the pre-rendered renaisance that is sorely needed for ps1 loving millennials like me. I'm sure you'll get back on your feet soon enough!


Thanks. I never really had much passion, so I always struggle to finish anything, but I'm glad I still had an impact.

And... yeah. It was a bad fire. They brought in fire trucks from out of town, but it was still burning for hours. Tried to sleep today, but and I kept having flashbacks. The alarms, the panicking, people screaming about lost pets... shit's fucked.
