THATBENNYGUY'S PROFILE

I am CashmereCat now.
~~~
Twisted baubles replace my brain and I am toxic yet nice. There's a lot to me, but also not a lot going on up there, they say. PM me because I love attention, I do interviews, I do reviews, I do stuff. Here for the long haul. Gotta hustle.
I'm working on whatever I'm working on, and I love RPG Maker games that aren't traditional RPGs. Puzzlers, interactive stories, but nothing too abstract that'll weird me out. Just give me a polished gem and I'll stare at it for days, marveling at the way the light reflects just right, inner inflections, potato top pie.
I want to make games with you.

WYRM WARRIORS! Design a location!
It seems as if we have fulfilled our quota for towns, cities and villages. Now it's time to flesh out at least 5 "other" locations. I will contribute by suggesting a couple of my own.
Name: Lake of the Gods
Type: Lake
Biome: Elven Forest
Character tie-ins: None that I know of
Notable features:
Description: A visibly calm lake surrounded by a grove of towering trees, the Lake of the Gods is the fabled location of the origin of life in this world. It is said that the first gods reproduced here, forming the spark of human life and setting off the chain reaction of evolution.
All travelers who find this place do so only by accident, since it is not marked on any map or recorded in any piece of literature. Not just anyone may stumble on this place, however. Only those who play an important role in the balance of the world happen upon its cool grassy banks. Heroes who visit this location feel noticeably replenished and have even caught glimpse of passing spirits that make their seasonal pilgrimage to the lake.

Name: Mount Arazia
Type: Volcano
Description/other details: The most active volcano in the world, erupting minorly every few years. A major eruption occurs every 50 years. Very few are located near this region for the reason that they would be completely covered in ash every few years. Cultists scale this mountain for the reason of human sacrifice, saying sacrificing one willing participant into the fire every year will calm the rage of the gods.
It is said that groups of bandits also inhabit this area, since no authorities find scouring the mountain for hideouts is dangerous due to the rough and inclined terrain.

Name: Marison
Type: Town
Biome: Plains (farmland, to be exact)
Character tie-ins: Lantwese the Thief moved away with her mother and father to the town Stoneholt at a very young age. Her headstrong father purchased a small manor in Western Marison with the little money he had acquired from selling his small accountancy business in the city.
Notable features:The Stoneholt River is the longest river in Marison, running through the town. The present course of the river was largely formed by the large volcanic eruption from the Lake Marison volcanic complex 1800 years ago.
Marison is notable for its bustling farmers' marketplace culture. Every weekend, the central courtyard of the town is bustling with crowds, booths, tables and stands. Farmers sell their fruits, vegetables, meats, and sometimes prepared foods and beverages at this place. This is where Lantwese had her first successful pickpocket. Even live animals, imported delicacies unavailable locally, and personal goods and crafts are sold in the town markets.
Description/other details: Marison is a farm-town sustained by the wealth and income of the agriculture sector. However, there exists high economic equality: a large divide between the worlds of the poor and rich. This is largely due to the racial and gender discrimination in the area. People from the Eastern Regions of the world are often frowned upon because they have darker skin. Females are expected to not have important jobs, and only males are allowed to run for mayor. This is part of the reason why Lantwese desired more. There was also nepotism involved: favoritism of those who are related to the mayor's family to get jobs in politics.
Thus there is a very large percentage of beggars in the area, as well as poor farmers and spice merchants just trying to make their cut. The rich are often the families in power: the mayor's family, tax collectors (who must collect a bribe), soldiers etc, who are mainly corrupt and pose unjustified threats against citizens unless a demand is met.
(I can add more if you want, that's the important stuff)

Question: Does it look okay, the way the name is represented on the far left even though Hisao's portrait is on the right?
Yes that looks fine, except I would erase the gap between the text and the name. There seems to be an extra line break there.

The Drop
What do you think is the most beautiful RPG Maker game?
Oh, and don't forget The Heirs of Techcatl. Its gameplay is one of the most shoddy things I've ever seen, but the painterly graphics create a gorgeous atmospheric world.
What do you think is the most beautiful RPG Maker game?
I second Sunset Over Imdahl, Wilfred the Hero and Ronove's stuff.
I'll add in To The Moon as well, simply because its graphical beauty is accompanied by beautiful music. It makes for a lovely audiovisual experience, as well as touching your feels.
And boy what feels that game had.
Plus, Ara Fell.

author=Anaryuauthor=thatbennyguyFixed this, was a bug where the poison effect in "Very Easy" mode didn't work (it uses a lower poison tick value on the various difficulties.)
It seems I can't review Outlaw City because random bugs keep making me lose my progress. The RMW Chain Game it is.
Don't expect you to play or review it after an experience like that, but I also don't leave any known bugs live in my work! Thanks.
Thank you! I'm still going to review it, I just feel a bit shameful that you know I chose "Very Easy" as my difficulty since I'm actually really bad at RPGs :P But I'm going to switch to "Normal" so there's no more bugs. Outlaw City, I return to you.
