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.

How did you and rpg maker meet?

Hm... how did we meet? Well, like all of my major relationships, it started with a night of heavy drinking, so a lot of it has been lost from memory. I'm just left to assume it started with me talking out my ass about my really stupid RPG ideas, and somehow I ended up pressing all the right buttons, because my hot little hard drive downed my load and and I got to play around for hours on end.

I remember the next morning somewhat more clearly. To say things were awkward is putting it lightly. Firstly, it was no secret that I was an RM virgin, and clearly had no idea what I was doing. To say that my performance was well under par is an understatement. Secondly, I was informed that the Run Time Package was far too much for my measly little floppy disc to handle in the first place, and that I should never have even bothered to try.

Then came the biggest surprise, the illegitimate first child. To top things off, it was BEYOND the simple definition of retarded. It was all too much for someone so young and inexperienced to deal with, and I swore to myself I'd never bring another abomination into this world again. Needless to say though, RM2K and I stayed together anyway, and well... hey, I had nothing else better to do at the time, okay? I made a whole bunch more of those little bastards; some big, some small, all of them ugly as shit, and not one of them with any real redeeming qualities.

Throughout the years, I upgraded to RM's younger sister programs. Though XP was much more beautiful, and VXACE is sexier than hell, I'm in a fairly decent relationship with 2k3 at the moment, even though 2k and 2k3 are practically identical in every way. I don't hate our latest offspring quite so much as the first few either, so overall I'd say I'm living it pretty good these days.

[Poll] Judging whether to download a game? What do you look for?

So many graphics whores. Pretty ironic when over half the games are simple RTP.

I chose features, but I can be swayed by other things.

RPGMaker Master Series Articles!

That's a great suggestion! It wasn't one of the ones I was covering initially, but due to the low rate of responses I've been getting on a couple of them I'll probably be able to fit it in after all :)

I vote for an April Fools day prank feature, then DQ on the 2nd :P

Looking for a long but easy game

Fragile Hearts SD

This is two games in one, Fragile Hearts 1+2. Both are pretty easy.
