SBESTER'S PROFILE

I've been an active member for quite a few years now. I started my RMN career by releasing the Eden Legacy Trilogy of games (each entry took 4 months of nonstop work) within one year, and I've gradually shifted to creating other games as well. I now have 3 flagship series: Eden Legacy, Fragile Hearts, and Mafiosi (being remade for commercial release as Crime Opera). I'm pretty much solely focused on the Crime Opera series of visual novels right now, as my band and job currently take up most of my free time.

Currently working on
-Crime Opera Trilogy (Mafiosi 1, 2, & 3 edited, with all original resources)
-It's a secret...
Crime Opera II: The Floo...
The kids have grown up, and they're becoming quite dangerous.

You guys SHOULD be trying to figure out whether they're mega or mecha.

Welcome your new overlord of Games

I wish I had caused an almost lawsuit for you guys... :(

~Memories Neverlasting~

There are no sex scenes in this game. Rated T for tits, er... teen.

Ever notice how the drape between the pillars looks suspiciously like a thong? (me gusta)


lol not until right now.

The way the character description has it, her name is literally "Sensei". I mean, my Japanese is not the best in the universe, but I know "sensei" is a title (meaning "teacher"), not a name.


It's common for teachers to be addressed as Sensei "insert real name here" in Japan, so I just left it at that.

Tina of the Stars Beta released!

Sweet, I've been keeping an eye on this one!

Is anyone working on a romance RPG at the moment?

I am not sure whether that was a joke or not... you didn't put any more detail.


I held off on details due to the fact that my romance-centered game was my "secret project", but now that I've revealed it, it's got a dating sim element that plays a big role in the multiple routes and endings.

Thanks for the tip, Avee! I'll try that, I didn't know that worked so well for those! Perhaps I can improve a few others in the process.

Surprise! Day early reveal!

lol it has dating sim features, so depending on which girl you help out the most around the academy, and how often you choose them to be in your party on missions, the story will change in accordance with your choices. Again, it's a lot like Sakura Taisen, but the consequences of your choices are going to have much more of an impact (or at least, I like to believe so).

Yeah her conversion didn't go as smoothly as some others did, so I may be changing her sprite soon. I had to let go of a couple characters already due to poor conversions, but the cast was much too large anyway.

Surreality: Fabrication Of Time Review

Thanks, calunio! Awesome insights as usual!

You're right about it being a bit rushed (actually, it was a lot rushed), but it's just one of those things. It's a story I wanted to tell for the sake of telling, and I never intended to put a whole lot of work into graphics/mapping/etc in comparison to my other more serious projects. Just enough to make the short playthrough work well enough. I think you covered the major issues pretty well here, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Whenever I get around to doing a third surreal game, I'll make sure to add in gameplay elements as you've suggested. I tried to figure something out for this one and it just never seemed to fit.
