POLARCACTUS'S PROFILE

Judging by the way the scenarios are playing out, Tristian will span roughly 3 years ( so Tristian will be around 25-26 years of age by the time the game ends ) and cover 7-8 very long chapters, for a total playtime of about 20-25 hours if I don't factor in sidequests like optional dungeons for new loot.

So yes. It really is turning out to be my most ambitious game yet. And loving every minute of it. =) Also, whoever my 201st subber was, I owe you a map. Or a sprite. Or something. XD

I've just had an idea of making one enormous map and all the player needs to do is explore and collect and create objects for a master magician.
So the main character would just be a humble magi assistant or something. No battles, just soothing music and one gigantic pretty map to explore.

I only have VX unfortunately ( my full version of Ace + Luna engine is now sitting on a dead PC ).

I would have played it ages ago, but I lost VXAce ( and Luna Engine ) on my old PC and had to re-download the trial onto my laptop. Just be warned. I'm rather... hard to please. =)

I RP over weekends, so if my dialogue doesn't feel natural in my games, I'll edit it so it 'flows' like regular speech. My cutscenes are about 5-8 minutes in length on average, but I try not to make them too verbose, nor are they 7 mins ( on average ) of pure dialogue with no pauses.

It helps a lot if you really 'get' your characters. If you understand their needs, desires, wants etc. and understand their dynamism with other characters, writing dialogue becomes far less of a chore as well.

I know I'm as slow as a mule for gam-mak now, but I promise you, the wait will be worth it. I'm still working extremely hard on Tristy. =)
