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.

Blog #3 - Rebranding, commercial plans ahead. M3 still free!

Thanks so much! It makes me really glad to hear people are enjoying these, and I can't wait til I can release even more :)

Blog #2 - Staying On Track!

Quick update, chapter 5 is *finally* complete. It's been difficult to find time to write over the past month, but only one chapter remains to be written before the first release!

Mafiosi 3

Thanks! And yeah... I kinda hate myself for my lack of attention to those games these days (and all my other games, for that matter). Still pulling 11-12 hour days most of the time at work, and my weekends have been dedicated solely to this series and... getting stupid drunk. I can only stay positive and believe that one day I'll have time for them all again :)

Haha not quite ;)

Fragile Hearts 3: Irritatingly Indecent Ignorance

Unfortunately, quite slowly atm. I've been working 10-11 hour days mostly, so any time I've spent on it has been city building and the like. I'll have a blog update in the near future concerning what's been done. :)

Blog #13 - Entering Final Phase

Long weekend, and I've already knocked off chapter 21!

Hopefully I can get at least one more done over the next couple days.

Fragile Hearts 2: Shattered Dreams Review

Hmm, I guess some people just don't take criticism well. Comes with experience, methinks.

Basically, I'm taking notes from the Yakuza and Mass Effect games, where there's a main story that ends up being fairly linear (unlike FH2), but there will be a ton of sidequests that *actually* matter and will change different aspects of the game as you progress. I'll be sticking with 3 main towns and will rely less on boring, straightforward dungeons that I've been using in the past. Kinda Harvest Moony, I suppose? It's just conceptual right now, but I'll be sure to update as the game takes better shape.
