What sounds better?

The MP3 gives off a better sci-fi vibe, imo. The volume is way too low, though. Just increase the volume and it should be fine.

The Repenters (complete!)

Kindle's the way to go, bro!

"Ricochet"... damn, yeah, that should be "shrapnel". I'll change that. There's a lot of purposely awkward phrases in there put intentionally. I dunno if that's discouraging or not.

Would you mind delving into more about what you mean by "unpleasant"?

Leo & Leah: A Love Story

Yeah it's named LeoandLeah.exe.

The Repenters (complete!)

Yeah no problem :) I don't write for the experts.

The Repenters (complete!)

Just finished writing my novel! Now to do the shitty part - try in vain to get crits and rework the not-so-good parts. So I dunno, what the hell, I thought I'd throw a line here and see if a fish bites.

SYNOPSIS:

The Repenters follows the partnership between two serial killers in Trinidad and Tobago. The first, Judah Weir, is an aging white man who claims to be an angel with a mission from God Himself. He claims to travel the Earth in order to locate selected people and torture them to the point of absolute repentence, in order to ensure their delivery to Heaven. The second, Joshua Sant, is a young neophyte murderer, who becomes Judah's assistant. The story switches between past and present. The past brings to focus Joshua's past and his upbringing in a Catholic orphanage, obsession over a young nun and first murder victims. The present is framed by Joshua and Judah's vain and frustrating attempts to transform their newest victim into a repenter.

LACONIC:

A serial killer and his protégé philosophize about dreams, love and the near and distant past while torturing their victim.

NOTES:

- "The Repenters" is a major reworking (if you could say that) of a story I wrote when I was about seventeen, called "Something Like Shangri-La". The story is entirely different, but the main characters are the same. I discarded the latter story a long time ago, along with others.

- I got a lot of ideas while writing this from the following books, TV shows, games and movies: The Little Prince, Miguel Street, Angels in America, Yume Nikki, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Mother 3, Doubt, Blue Velvet.

- I believe I started this right after I finished Leo & Leah, which would have been in February or March, so I wrote this novel pretty quickly.

- The novel is in first person, set in Trinidad and thus written in Trinidadian Creole dialect, and I dunno if that will turn people off.

- This was NOT inspired by Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer.

What does it mean for a game to be an RPG?

What's the new Featured Game?

I nominate Fey.

EDIT - Actually, should wait til its completed.

El Dorado is very good. Though it has little text, it's in German. The creator should consider translating it. But I nominate El Dorado anyway because you don't really need to read the text to play it.

What has inspired your writing/art/music?

I was bored in work one day and I randomly decided to write down and categorize everything that has produced some sort of substantial inspiration for my writing. These are not just things that affect you, but a song that you could listen to for intellectual motivation, a book that you pick up and flip through and you can instantly "feel" an idea coming, a painting you can look at and all sorts of images come flooding through your mind. List things that not only affect your creations but, when you see it, it makes you want to create something yourself?
