SOLRAC'S PROFILE

author=Juan_de_Fuca
I was one of those old antediluvians from the days of Don Miguel's message boards...

Anyone from that time might remember me. I spent far more talking on the forums than on actual RPG making. I wrote regular reviews of games that the community made, founded a "reviewer's guild" or some such nonsense. I won the very first Misao award (in 2002) for "best reviewer" (shows where my priorities were). I think it's hilarious the Misao awards have been kept up all this time. Is Shenron even still around?

I even put out a couple unfinished games, an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" and an early "teaser-trailer" misspelled "Equalibrium" (which has since become a Matrix reboot with Christian Bale). Oh, I participated on the front lines opposing the Rancid Tyranny (though I was NOT included in the hastily-assembled RPG parody).

In a sudden surge of nostalgia I found myself wanting check in the RPG making community. Strange as it may sound the lure of making an RPG still entices me 15 years later. I was a teenager in high school during those halcyon days of RPG making and I'm 30 now. I'm curious to see what the community has done since then.

Has there been a Phylomortis 3 or any meager progress toward A Line's End? Any more Final Fallacy games or Kinetic Ciphers? Is MaladroitHim still an exceptional artist with ridiculous ennui issues? Anyone left from the old days before the deluge?

I actually played Julius Caesar, it was very well made.

I need that Phantom Train Chipset, could you help me out?

Are the characters going to retain their outfits from eight years ago? They should get new ones. You could get away with no new outfits if the game would be set a year after the events of Final Fantasy VI but eight years is definitely not a good thing to wear the exact same clothes.

The main character of Final Fantasy 15 has been wearing larger variations of the same clothes for all his life. I don't see why none of the characters have to change here!

True, while it is a good idea to give characters a new set of clothes, there is no true problem with them keeping the original one. Auron from FFX had almost the same outfit on his first pilgrimage and during the main quest.In FF6 most flashbacks no matter how far back features characters with the same clothes as the present time, while this may be explained in real life by data limitation of the cartirdges and limited technology, remember I'm trying to emulate that era of gaming. Besides I'm a vey bad artist so editing or creating sprites is very hard for me, nontheless i'm open to the idea of new character designs.
