THERPGMAKERADDICT'S PROFILE

author=Ocean
I feel like the world could have used a lot more surreal enemies which I didn't really have, and I feel frogge was working on relatively little resources to draw from to really make that surreal feel. We both tried our best in the limited time we had, so I'm hoping in the future to update it and take more time to flesh it out, and have frogge secretly make the game for me so I can be lazy

I know, anyway the resources used were very nice, I liked them a lot and I liked the visual style. Nothing bad at all for a short game.

It's weird, I reviewed two of your games and both were collaborations! Next time I'll review one made by you only, then! :P

Wow, I wasn't expecting a review for this game! It's a game I started in 2004 (15 years ago!) and stopped working on in 2012 if I'm not mistaken, so a lot of it looks outdated indeed. But yet, it's a game I've worked on for almost 10 years, so it has a special place in my heart, and I might agree with you that it's my best.

Well I love old Rmk2000/2003 games and the style of its charsets and portraits. And I loved this game since it's not your usual fantasy/sci fi game, I liked the dark/horror atmosphere, the many choices, and the weirdness of the urban setting.
And I also loved the themes and the story, but this is mainly a matter of personal taste (I played some similar "urban horror" games before).

Anyway I waited maybe 5 years before this reviews as I was stuck in the "escape from the principal part"! But yes, at the time I had so much to play that I just tried it.

I wonder... do you speak Portuguese? I couldn't tell since you didn't comment anything on the story/dialogs/characters. If not, must be weird playing this game.

Short answer: I did not comment the story not to spoil the adventure, I know Portoguese barely enough to be able to play the game but not enough to judge the style or notice spelling errors.

Long answer: I know spanish, italian and other languages I studied. My Portoguese is largely self taught by reading articles or other things, so I was able to understand 90% of the game and I had no problem to understand what I had to do, where I had to go or how to use the items. But judging the quality of the dialogues (not in my native language) and explaining it in english (not my native language too) would be too hard for me!

So yeah I was able to know what I had to do with Livia, for example, but even if understanding some choices were not easy, especially the one after being disintegrated (oh by the way it's possible to kill the "night father" during the concert? I was never able to do that!)

Thanks for the reply!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yep! This time I had no problems with the puzzles, and I liked the unfolding of the story. I just wished it was longer, so ok, consider this a merit!

Hells yeah

I admit I was almost going to give up against the sewer boss (that fight was hard and the characters you have are so weak! I had to kill for more consumables!). After that part and introduced the real protagonist everything became really better.

took you three months to get back to me kiddo, what're you, running on ME time? holy fucking shit I'm completely wasted and stoned I'll make this post coherent and sensical when I sober up. I just saltblasted an old 1.5 star review of Backstage which was probably ill advised but I am flying. Kind of regret that salty, salty discharge from my proverbial vagina, but it's too late to turn back on it now.

Well, sorry I was trying to elaborate a coherent answer, as my english is terrible sometimes...
1.5 star review? Heh, don't care, my tastes are refined. Oldschool. Or maybe I played some othe really bad, BAD games.

I never heard of System Shock till after I released the final complete build of Iron Gaia. But I played in between making this and making virus

I don't know, maybe it's me but... Doom, Bioforge and other sci-fi horror settings were quite popular before 2000 (not to mention Obliterator). The atmosphere of some settings is something that always impress me, and, despite all its limitations, in some cases it's something that Rpgmaker can recreate well.

Wow. You put me amongst some illustrious company, sir. Alter Aila looks amazing and is incredibly popular. A Blurred Line is still finally my favorite RM of all time. I am not worthy of such illustrious company. Not worthy!

Well, I liked it a lot. Still I prefer the monster style of Iron Gaia and it also has the biggest "flaw": it ends in media res!
