SUZURICHO'S PROFILE

Hiya! I know you guys don't miss me that much (I know you miss Asa more), but I want to make my presence a bit more known around since I've invited a friend or two to join the site, and I want to participate in Sam's Game Making Drive! Anyway~ This is to show you guys what I've been up to, should you be interested or not.

First off, my recently started gaming blog: http://www.angelslime.blogspot.com/

As I've been playing games, I tend to write what I think about them either as I'm doing so or when I am done with a particular title. This is where I've been posting that kind of stuff. Either it's really boring or it's horrible, as I've only got two whole watchers. I wish I got some feedback from time to time.

Secondly, my artsies: http://kawaiiranchan.deviantart.com/

Everything from what I write to draw to edit ends up here. It's just a collection of crap which I expect to be ignored as it always has been, so y'know, feel free to ignore it, too.

Oh... what? No, no, no, that's about it. No I'm not gonna...

Oh fine. I have a fictonpress account, too. Same name as this one.

If you want what Asa's up to... well, just ask!

I don't mean to annoy, but I have a pressing question.

I'm learning how to use a program called Ren'Py. Is there a reason why you guys don't offer to host Ren'Py games... am I missing something?

I have been debating starting a topic here in coverage of my game since I've had Odysessy's demo up. I didn't want to be thought of as a pompous idiot selflessly promoting my project, so I figured just my signature was coverage enough. But in all honesty, I need a place where I can tell people the problems I've been having in putting together a playable project, hopefully to span at least 10 hours of full playthrough. So, let's move on, shall we?

If you don't know me by now, I'm Suzuricho - Asalieri's wife and mommy to two daughters. I work on my game when I have time, but my family takes precedence. I don't care how much you may want to play it. Grr.

NOW! TO THE GAME STUFFS!

Odyssey in Suri Islands is a quest throughout the Suri Islands! Oh wow, you never would have guessed! Now. You'll be questing through as these four characters:

Pyra Magnum: a pregnant half demon. In the demo, she's searching for her husband (which is why it's called Pyra's Plight!). She has the power of fire magics and sword skills. Pyra can use all swords. As far as personality goes, being pregnant and alone makes her a total bitch at first. She's uptight, she's seemingly always angry, and unless someone asks her exactly what's going on, she doesn't tell anyone anything. When she and her hubby are reunited, she's a lot more peaceful, but she's still a little peeved at being pregnant.

Swain Darkins: a mysterious traveler after a specific treasure. He's a lightweight, and in the demo he can only use swords - I've changed that in the full game to where he can use whips and light swords or daggers. Swain seems burdened by something that won't be revealed until you reach his hometown. At the end of the demo, Swain will tell you exactly what's been going on. He's at the height of politics in the Suri Islands. Swain uses wind magic and some sword/whip skills. Pyra believes Swain is gay by the second chapter, but that will remain a mystery until the end.

Lucia Marin: a girl with few lines in the demo, but her part as been expanded a lot in the full game. She's a nice girl with healing powers and a few water spells, and she fights with a whole aresenal of spears. Lucia is the one that usually asks Pyra what's on her mind, she's a very caring girl. Her father is the mayor of Mysterica, and the first quest in the game is to save her from a curse, and in return, she joins the team to help Pyra in her goal. She loves to laugh, but she is concerned with the wellbeing of her friends and the world.

Zauber Genon: In the demo, we don't know much about this mysterious character. Pyra tells the group that he is her husband and the legend about how he massacred the entire population of clergy because he believed them to have evil intentions with his massive destructive powers which earned him the title "King of Demons". Zauber is in truth very loving; His heart belongs to Pyra. In chapter two onward, Zauber's weaponry has a lot to be desired, but with a metric crapton of MP and his library of spells, you don't need weapons. Zauber has a score to settle with a man named Gadli - but we aren't quite sure what that score is. He ends up leading the party when Pyra cannot.

I've tried to make them all have original classes, such as Swain being a "Toledo"... but that's not really my bragging point. xD

Now also scattered through this string of islands is four main countries: Dwega, Mariba, Yuma, and Lemismitt. There are free territories such as Gailardia and Casios; then there's the hidden city. And then there are villages like Mysterica that is ruled by a mayor. I want to bring out actual politics between all of the countries, which is something I plan on brainstorming here with you guys. I am NOT good at politics, nor to I understand them all completely. But the point is, the story has the religion followed by a few countries trying to take a hold of the world. Why? Well, MAJOR SPOLIERS! I plan on fleshing this out in another post because this post is long enough all ready.

Dungeons and bosses I don't have problems with making, really. I may need to pace them better, but I want some imput from the demo that way you can tell me whatcha think.

Yeah, there will be spoliers for my game possbily discussed here, but I wanted a place where I could talk about the problems I am having openly. My demo's writing is choppy from what I understand, and I may need help smoothing that out. A lot of my other concerns are in my game's profile, along with old, unmodified screenies from the very first release.

I am open to any and all suggestions, and if I use them, you will be in the main game's end credits. <3 Just please don't make too much a mess of this. -_-

How often can I post here to update? I am curious about that.

Hey there, gaming fans!

Asa has a very severe case of food poisioning. He had some seafood that was not cooked properly a few days ago... and he's asked me to let you guys know that he will not be available on IRC or on this board for a few days. He's completely bedridden and puking all over the place. Don't worry though, he's got me looking after him - it's one of the few things I'm good for!

I'll come on every now and then to let you guys know how he's doing, if you want to know.

Apologies to Max McGee, as I was told that you guys had a project going on for Halloween.

I'm not sure of the border between moronic and general, but I would certainly ask someone to move the topic where you see fit if need be! I'm a bit nervous, though, I usually don't start topics in fear of them being considered... well, incredibly stupid.

Being pregnant, there are things that I feel the need to have - cravings and the like. Cravings hit me at anytime, all the time, from the natural to the strange, from food to affection... I even get cravings to play certain games, too!

And I'm curious to know...

What are you craving? Food? A certain type of game? Tell the Mama what you're craving, and where exactly did this come from? Are there reasons for your cravings?

So, to start us off!

I'm after some bacon pizza right now, though I'm sure that's a bit too strange for the resturants here to handle. *sad*
