A SITUATION WITH SUNNYDALE...

...The game is done. Over. Cancelled. I hated it so much I just ended it.























































Just kidding! Actually, a beta of the game is complete. It's probably buggy af so I'm going to test play every inch of that ish. After me, I want three people to play the game, to give me their feedback before I put it out to the world and a bug count.

I know I said my last update would be the final post of 2014, but, uh, I lied. lol Merry Christmas! Eat lots and stay safe!!!

Tis the season for updates!

Since it is unlikely I'll update anymore this year, I'll say happy holidays now!!! Yay!!! 2014 is almost over! Lord knows I can't wait.

ANYWAY, for about two weeks now, I've been writing a short story. It's my first, but I figured if I can write a whole novel, surely I can also do a short story. I started writing it after talking to a friend, who encouraged me to try to get something published. While I doubt it's at that level yet, I am happy that I was able to "finish" something this year.

So the story is called "I Found You," about a specter desperate to live again, even know all she knew is dead and gone. She befriended a human girl, and then jacked her body, so the story follows her past and thought processes. I submitted it to a writer's org, and someone called said the story was atmospheric, which was kind of the vibe I was going for. Yahoo! I named the story after a dance song called I Found You lulz. Maybe I'll post it someday.

I Found You

I don't know how long this is going to stay here, so, uh...read while you can???

In other news, Sunnydale is close to having a beta ready. All I really have to do are the final boss sequence and the endings. My last finished game was four years ago, so I'm excited to get this one out there.

I still work on MMZ when I can. I must be honest folks, I have no idea where this game is going. It started out sort of sci-fi, and while I haven't lost that vibe, I don't know what it is now. It's exciting and frustrating at the same time. Still, I know how badly people want this game, so I will try to finish it and have a download as soon as able, preferably a download that isn't crap. =P

That's all for now. Happy holidays and stay safe (which I didn't do last year @_@)

ANOTHER SONG OF THE DAY

I'm actually a big Kylie fan. I own all of her albums aside from the first two and X. Kiss Me Once, I think, is a superb album, even better than Aphrodite, which I also really, really liked.

Anyway, this is my favorite song from the album, which has become one of my all-time favorite Kylie songs. It's earned it! =D

I really just wanted an excuse to update. =P Oh yeah! I finished a draft of a short story this week and am going to read it (try to, at least, it's 2100 words but I think it may take me over 4-7 mins to read...) tonight! Wish me luck??? I'm also going to submit it to a writer's group of which I am a member, and depending on the feedback I get, I may post it here for a while!

NEW GATEKEEPER DOWNLOAD

Sorry for making you guys download the game again, but VX phucked my file up and it wasn't until I got an email that I realized something was wrong.

Anyway, this file is truly stand-alone. The old one required you to have VX or VX's RTP, or both. 0.0 Anyway, this file shouldn't require any of that.

Again, so sorry!

SONG OF THE DAY

I've been obsessed with this song all day. Her album's really good! The girl actually has some good pipes. =)

Pondering

Sooo... I'm thinking about uploading a pdf of The Unseen's third draft. Oh, what to do? I haven't tried to get it published at all, and emb services was a bust when I first tried it (apparently, their horror editor had resigned), but I may try it again this week... I know I talk about it a lot, so maybe uploading it wouldn't hurt??? I dunno, I'll have my mind made up this afternoon.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Muahahahahahahaha! And what better way to celebrate this lovely occasion than with a demo?? It's of Gatekeeper. Enjoy!

It's a fantasy RPG with cyber-punk elements about an ordinary boy who was killed and resurrected as a gatekeeper, a god-lite entity, who has to defend himself against the Dark Child, a fellow gatekeeper who claims she is trying to protect reality by killing him and others like him.

Mystery Man Zero

Hi! How is thee summer going? Anyway, I've been working on MMZ off and on this year, but think it's "on" right now, for I have some ideas for it. That's all I really have to report, but enjoy this video and these screenshots!

Minor Updates

The Me page was in dire need of an update/revision, so I sorted that all out. I also moved "Barbarians" to where I put all my other shitty screenplays are because it sucks. One of these days, I will write a good screenplay. ONE OF THESE DAYS! *holds up fists*

I resumed my search for editors for The Unseen and googled Ebm Services, suggested to me by a young lady I met at a writer's conference all the way in JUNE. O.O I also reached out to Harbor Light Writers in June as well, a writers' org of which I was apart before I moved to the big apple. 7/20 is their next meeting, and they will probably be the second (my friend Steve was the first; he's a really good editor, btw) pair of eyes to glimpse upon The Unseen's third draft. So I'm excited yet nervous all the same!

PS

Random, but my favorite song atm is Kelis' "Forever Be." It reminds me of me, which I know sounds vain, but it is what it is. =P

Btw, her Food album is really good! I think it's her best yet?

A Nightmare in Sunnydale videos

Enjoy! Just ignore the bugs/typos.

Nightmare Update

Aside from Dracula's ending, the writing for the game is all done. Dungeon construction is done as well, so all that's left is copying what I have written and pasting it in the game. I didn't write it "correctly," so the process is taking longer than I expected it to (I do this for Gatekeeper and it's a breeze), so the game is ~almost done. Are you excited??? I sure am. My last completed game was Complete Chaos, which was, uh, a while ago. I also started working on Mystery Man Zero again, which had some trouble a few days ago (it crashed >.<) but should be all right now. After Sunnydale is completed, it's a toss up between Gatekeeper and MMZ as to which one will be completed first.

I haven't written much for Total Chaos in the last few weeks. The project isn't dead! Far from it. I just haven't been motivated lately, but surely I will, soon. Writing is really mentally draining, you know?

PS: I added a bunch of Nightmare videos on my youtube channel! I'll get around to adding them here when I feel like it (probably tomorrow).

I WROTE A SCREENPLAY

It's called Barbarians. It's on the screenplays page, but you can read it here. It's horror, because what else do I write? Elle oh elle. In short, it's about a group of young people who attend a Christian retreat, courtesy of their loved ones, to be rid of their homosexuality. But things don't quite go according to plan when people start showing up dead, and they watch their friends get brutalized by man-eating barbarians. Enjoy! Or not. I've had this idea for well over a year, but started actually writing it about two? weeks ago. It didn't make sense to me to have an outline sitting on my computer unused. =(

Some Nightmare Stuff

If personal drama hadn't happened in my life, the game's script could've been finished by now, but as it stands, I'm going to start writing for the final dungeon today! The end is almost here, are you excited???

That's really all I have to report. I'm still working on Gatekeeper and my soon-to-be novels, so bear with me!

I just really wanted an excuse to update my blog. =)
