STORMCROW'S PROFILE

>look StormCrow

You see not a bird but an American lady who likes other ladies. Oscillates between shy as a mouse and babbling violently, seemingly at random.

I like badasses. I like babes. I like badass babes the best. Okay...actually I like doggoes the very best, but I aspire to make games about badass babes is my point.

I use music from bands and artists in the free games I make: the frustrated filmmaker in me is very enamored of scoring scenes with rock'n'roll soundtracks Scorcese or Tarantino style. In addition to being a time honored tradition in cinema, this has a history in AAA videoogames as well (for a really great use of it, see Bioshock: Infinite). If I was a millionaire, I'd totally license these songs so I could actually use them legally.

I mean to be clear, I want to stress that I have absolutely no difficulty whatsoever reading the font but, by all means, all are welcome to chip in. Y'all are my audience so yeah if a lot of people are saying the font is hard to read, yeah, gotta deal with that.

I have average eyesight at best but if my eyes are somehow anomalous in being able to read Agency FB with no effort or difficulty, the font shall be changed (but even then I probably won't ever have the energy to go back and replace every one of the 25 screenshots I took today with the "bad font" in them). I guess I should probably make the decision to replace it or not by Wed, when I'm going to take the next batch of screenshots.

It just occurred to me that probably one of the very first things I should do for a game at the outset of development is a typeface test. Because apparently things that are easily legible to me are not to other people. Having to rejigger every single show text command because I switched to a less compact font would be a significant amount of anal discomfort I could have avoided by this simple practice.

It does not look anything like that at all? Like I don't understand how it could remind you of that because the unpatched 2k3 font that was LITERALLY ILLEGIBLE.

Anyway, I quite like the font. If enough people hate it I'll consider changing it (and be glad that I didn't fix all of the awkward spacing issues like the one seen here, because I'd have to fix them all over again with a new font, but sad that I fixed the text boxes I did fix, because then I'd have to fix them all over), I suppose, but I like it. Everyone's eyes work different, I guess.

I personally find it quite legible. That said, it does seem to look more cramped here in a screenshot than it did in-engine.

Screenshot Survival 20XX

Here are many screenshots from Road To Paradise: The Staircase. Liberty put the majority of them in hide tags. (There are MANY MORE I didn't post here, I just posted the ones I thought were the most aesthetically pleasing.)

One of these days, I'm gonna figure out one of those neat gif making programs.

NOT-EARTH:



Fucking mimics, man, am I rite? I'm with O'Hara.


What is a save point, really?


And let's end on some battle shots:

Playing these old games I've realized two things. 1) All I really want is for Barrett to walk into me and disappear. (Number Two would not fit in the same Status.)

2) I hope when I die, no madder how mundane and nonviolent the cause of death, I spiral backwards into the air while screaming and disintegrating into a cloud of blood, exactly like Alucard in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

So I'm playing Final Fantasy VII for my first time since I was a teenager but actually that's not true because I replayed it one summer when I was in COLLEGE I think so I have no idea how this got past me that SECOND time, maybe I just wasn't paying attention:

Hojo was actually no BS for real trying to breed Red XIII and Aerith. They've got a mad scientist eagerly attempting to get a dog-lion monster thingy to rape a helpless woman so they can have babies.

Excuse me, censors? Explain the thought process behind getting from "son of a submariner!" in the VERY LAST INSTALLMENT to having NO PROBLEM with this. Then explain the thought process behind why I have to see marvel comics symbol gibberish on my screen and we can't just have Barrett say "MOTHERFUCKER!" (you've no idea how badly I want to hear Barrett say "MOTHERFUCKER!") BUT BESTIALITY IS A OKAY as long as it's only heavily, heavily, heavily implied. (RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN you can see Red quivering with excitement for the act, although he later explains he was only acting so he could catch Hojo off guard. Speaking of Hojo I am suddenly really emotionally invested in him not surviving this game. It's a shame FF games aren't the kinds of games that give a player any kind of agency in that kind of thing.)

When I was 13 I adorably and naively assumed that the implied threat everyone was so upset about was that Red was going to y'know, just savage her to death. Something wholesome and innocent like that.

Also, fridge Logic...why did Hojo let his specimen keep multiple materia equipped whilst in the specimen holding tank?

WARNING, LARGE IMAGES





My first time actually using the Time Fantasy graphics I bought several years ago. I think I quite like them!

A CHALLENGE FOR THE NEW YEAR: Make a game sometime this year where an alpaca is prominently featured. Do it. Doooo iiiiiiit! You'll get an alpaca badge!

I am so glad this was brought to my attention because I can't not participate in this.

Al-pac-a lot of effort into this game. ("User was banned for this post.")

Help me design a rappelling minigame!

Oops, yeah sorry.

So, I want the PCs to start the second episode rappelling quickly down through this crumbling semi-ruined tower.
So...it's worth mentioning they're rappelling down the side of a dragon wizard's castle (man-made, in good repair)

This is what we had to work with. In good repair? Or crumbling? We could do either, but be consistent.

OOPS! Sorry about that. FWIW I do think I changed my mind from Episode 2 of The Staircase would kick off with them rappelling down Voidsreach Tower to it kicking off with them rappelling down Timekeep. Yeah, definitely the latter. Let me fix the OP.
