ALRIGHT I FINALLY CAN ANSWER THIS I am feeling coherent.

TungerManU: Lana using "Kozmin" is an error that I'm gonna remember to fix in game, but Kozmin using "Alexeivich" and "Kozmin" is intentional! She already uses masculine titles like "sir" and "Mr.", and would use male titles like "boyfriend" or "father" because of the way her Genders work, aka she thinks of herself as a woman who occupies a masculine space, thus the "sir" and the "Mr." and the masculine naming choices.

For everyone else who is curious: here's a handy doc for how Russian names work! The tl;dr version is that patronymics (the name in the middle) and surnames actually have gendered variants. I... just forgot to update Lana's last name since I only just learned about the last name thing a coupla weeks ago. <__<;

Also, Emmych, if we're the new radicals, and we're growing up to be such, then the ill-minded archaic ideals of the past are going to die out eventually anyway, don'tchu think?


Because other people were working before us. There were folks doing activism before we were born, and because those people were working, our generation was able to grow up to be less shitty.

My point is that change doesn't come out of nowhere, it takes people working hard to make change. Sitting around and saying "aw yeah our generation is BETTER" is pointless and only serves to maintain the status quo. Not only that, it's also really insulting to the people that came before us who had to live through and fight against pretty awful stuff.

@orochii: Look, I've done the same things? Entire boxes of strudel? In my gullet, because fuck it, I'm an adult.

I don't think I'd ever want to eat and entire cake, since that's a little bit rich, but other things? Bring it on. 8(

@Ronnie: THAT'D BE GREAT IF YOU COULD OMG
Although really you have to wonder why the bouncer who loves sugar so much isn't having a sugar crash more often...? Could be because he doesn't let himself crash. He is in a constant state of sugar high.

So handsome. So douchey. So perfect. <3333

And hey, thanks. It does feel good to keep the momentum going. <W<

How did your first game turn out?

Alright if we're talking first game COMPLETED, then hey, that went Real Great and I'm super proud of it. We made it in a month and it's actually solid, so I can't really hope for anything better than that.

...if we're talking first game DEVELOPED, then, um. Well. Let's tell everyone that embarrassing but extremely cute story.

So, for creative writing class back in grade 3, I wrote this story about a girl named Chaelia (named after one of my sister's Neopets because it had a great fantasy name) who hung out with a bunch of anthropomorphic stuffed animals that were totally in no way the stuffed animals I had nope nosiree this wasn't self-insert fic you're MAKING THAT UP. Anyway, she hung out with cool stuffed animals and lived in a giant tree called The Sanctuary, and her best friend was a blue dragon named Ryu. No relation to the Breath of Fire character, nope.

Anyway, her idyllic life was threatened by an evil dragon named... Zog? Or something. I don't think it was Zog, since that's BoF's villain's name and I'm fairly certain I did SOMETHING slightly different. Anyway, he was evil villaining in a tower somewhere and plotting to wreck her shit... and then it never actually happened. I quit writing the story, because That's What I Do.

Fast forward a year or two ahead, and my sister nabs a copy of RPG Maker 2000, since that was the only one available at the time, and we sit down and try to make a game. I put forward this story I wrote, we call it Aprilenia (for reasons?????), and boom bam we start making a game. Chaelia becomes a summoner (not in the Final Fantasy way, nosiree bob no way) and goes on a quest with Ryu (default RTP wyvern) and a... cat? I think she was a cat. Anyway they learn about the Bad Dragon somehow and decided to head through a cave to the kingdom of Sapphire, where they meet a white mage named Crystal and... get an airship??? That's all I really remember, other than the fact the first cave was a giant, square room that you could easily walk across since "oh we can just fill this in later."

ALAS it has been lost to the sands of time, which is a bummer! I woulda loved to have gone back and played it now. Ah, well, at least I still have you, original and embarrassing build of Origin. *throws sheet over it*

And speaking of Origin, if we're talking how did one's first SERIOUS attempt at a game go... well. It's been in the works for 4-5 years and I still don't have a demo, so. Yeah.

ALSO I'VE BEEN RPG MAKING FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS?????? What the hell is that. How have I only JUST completed a game. OTL

Who are your favourite RMN writers/authors?

Ooh, yes, I am into this topic. <__<;

Ronove is defs high up on my list, since yup Star Stealing Prince is one of the few RM games that I've played all the way through more than once and plan to play again. It's just that good! Plus the characters are cute as all hell. I should really read the sequel one of these days... *sweats a lot because reading is hard*

PentagonBuddy and Jalen are one of my fav writing teams, and not just because they're some of my bestest best pals! I know Demon Slayer hasn't come out yet, but you can get a taste of their writing in the game Penta and I made together, since Jalen helped with writing the old lady ghost and Penta did a whole wack of flavour text and plugging in gaps I couldn't fill in time. Also I love them and they are fantastic and and and and and and ;____; <3 *gushes about FRIIIIEEENNNNNDDDSSS for about five years*

eehhh, who else? I know I have a few more folks, but I'm drawing a blank atm. I'll probably come back to this topic when I've combed through my subscriptions and reminded myself of how many cool people I follow. ;w;
