I know I mentioned this before, but the ASoIaF naming conventions are really bothering me. What exactly was the reason for lifting so many character names from it? I can understand if it's just one or two characters, but you kind of went a bit overboard with it.

I do understand that ASoIaF isn't as super popular as something like Final Fantasy in this community so a lot of people won't notice. But to those who have read the books (and the number is definitely increasing due to the whole HBO thing), it just comes across as really tacky seeing all of these characters with names from that series. Personally, it kind of affected the way I viewed some of the characters. For example, when I first saw that one of your main characters was named Janos, I kind of immediately hated him.

Anyway, I'm not trying to be offensive at all. Just a bit curious is all.

Vanguard Edition

Are you composing it yourself?

The Old Blog and the Sea

Isn't that the main character from Torment? I seriously need to play that.

Reveal your secrets: where did you get your ideas?

Linus' story was inspired by English boarding schools , and also by a bunch of books-- namely the "A Song Of Ice And Fire" series by G.R.R Martin.

It's only for special events. I'm trying to play around a bit with perspective, since I think the top-down thing gets a bit old at times.

And Lazygamer, wow. I didn't even notice that spelling error. Thanks a lot!

Actually, its not a dream sequence. Its supposed to be like a royal garden type of thing inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Anyway, thanks for the comment. :)

Actually, yeah. His eyes are supposed to have a weird otherworldly look to them. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Linus: The Forgotten Days

Well, they use the same character motif, so they start off sounding similar. Thanks for listening!
