Close
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...

Under-Rated Games People Should Play
I have to admit, although I consider myself an Arc the Lad fan (loved the first 2), I hated 3 and never really liked Twilight. I bought Generations a few years ago, but never even played it since I had a bad taste in my mouth from before.
I have a few underrated series that I love to promote any chance that I get:
YAKUZA series! If you're a fan of mafia type films, these are 20-30 hour long ones with great characters, amazing stories, (shitty combat that eventually gets better as they go on), and sandbox RPG elements thrown in for good measure. They're making a fifth one now, which is said to be 2-3 times bigger than any entry before, and we need more fans so that Sega will keep localizing them. They may have killed those chances by localizing Dead Souls (a non-cannon zombie spinoff which is terrible in so many ways it's not even worth getting into). Note that these are only underrated outside of Japan.
The Gothic Trilogy. I've heard the fourth is awful, due to it being made by a different developer, but the first 3 games are the only PC RPGs I've ever played to really enthrall me. The worlds feel real, the NPCs and missions serve a purpose, the combat is stellar (albeit a little difficult to start), the level progression in completely open-ended, and best of all you can even go on a rampage killing virtually every NPC in the game (just don't save over your original file or you're fucked). Highly underrated by PC RPG enthusiasts.
Sakura Taisen 1-5. Although only the fifth one has been localized, PC versions of the first 4 are pretty easy to come by online and there are English guides for them on gamefaqs that are really well done. I've gone through the first two already, have the third one lined up. They're easy to play too, so getting by the japanese menus is no problem. Not so much underrated as underlocalized.

Slew of Oldies
There was a major problem when I transferred it over to this computer, so it's going to take some time to fix it up. I will eventually though, it's a pretty important project to me (even though it's only the beginning step of what it's become in recent years, as I've been writing a novel based on it).
I'm hoping to get back to these this Summer, just as soon as I've released a bunch of other stuff that is almost finished.

Slacked, but back into beta mode!
Thx! I'm one of the vain ones who gave up talking to NPCs multiple times, especially when it seems like they have nothing very relevant to say. Perhaps I should use this as a lesson and start providing multiple lines of dialogue for NPCs for all of my games. Or at least for the FH ones.
NaGaDeMo
I did start a new project this month... but for once, I feel like I should wait until it's finished to make the game profile. I've never done a secret project before, and this one seems to fit the bill pretty perfectly. I feel bad that it won't be a part of this event though.
What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Sakura Taisen 2.
Got the laptop set up right beside my desktop so I can read the translation guide as I go! Thrown about 11 hours into it so far, and loving it just as much as the first!

Beta Testing Begins...
E3!
I was crazy about the Tomb Raider games when I was a kid, there was really nothing like it when the first one came out. This new one gives her an origin story that ACTUALLY follows her backstory, instead of the one that was kind of rewritten in the fourth game. Mind you, I haven't even played any of the newer gen games in the series, but I may end up playing this one at some point or another.
As for the rest of E3... there were virtually no Vita announcements, no great RPG news to be heard, and nothing that really excited me. Pretty much the same as last year, except Sony have this laughable storybook thing this time.
