DEMO ALERT! DEMO ALERT! DEMO ALERT!

2011-12-02T04:49:00.000-08:00

Basic facts:

It is called GATEKEEPER

It is an RPG

It is a 20 minutes long [this is just a tech demo, mind you!]

It will be a short, side project. Basically a simplified version of what ANISC will be.

Until the next update (hopefully soon), feast your eyes on THIS video and if it tickles your fancy, download the demo!

Demo: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ob8bi0qn7zx6jgv

I will upload Gatekeeper's game page sometime soon, I hope.

MISSING "WOODSB"? FIND IT HERE!

2011-06-12T16:27:00.000-07:00

it has come to my attention that some people might have a missing file that belongs in the "pictures" folder called "WoodsB". Some people may not experience this, but just in case, copy the picture in this folder and paste it into the game's picture folder:

VANITY: EXTENDED DEMO (Coming Now!)

2011-06-10T02:46:00.000-07:00

Hello all! Vanity's demo that I promised you like 20 months ago? Well, it is here now! Sorry for the procrastination. Life + other duties got in the way, you know how that goes. ;)

Anyway, enjoys! Any comments, questions, rants, death threats, etc, can be placed right here on this blog OR emailed to me at: Eikichi@juno.com

I look forward to hearing from you!

- A Clyde

PS: Stuff about the new demo:

- It's twice as long (the original demo wasn't that long, don't worry)
- You get to actually choose your pathways
- Balance issues fixed
- Plot-holes/dialogue addressed
- I changed the way some of the pictures were presented to give them a slightly more...'unified' look, if you will.
- There is a '~~chart~~' Book that you can access from your menu screen that will explain the strengths and weaknesses of each element (since the game doesn't use traditional elements like "fire, water...etc".
- A new title screen

And of course, the mainstays:
- Colored arrows to direct you to your next destination (in addition to hints)
- When backtracking you can skip battles - meaning you don't have to flee from the same enemies over and over

UPDATED MYSTERY MAN ZERO DEMO!

2011-03-03T19:36:00.000-08:00

REMEMBER THIS GAME?!?!?!

RIGHT. NOW.

The link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?3w2xdpnkwaj6un2

The demo's a few hours or two longer, cleans up stuff wrong in the original demo, and has other surprises in stored. I hope you enjoy it! Honest feedback is of course encouraged!

VANITY: EXTENDED DEMO (coming soon)

2011-01-12T23:10:00.000-08:00

If all goes well, this will more than likely be my next completed project...after years upon years of hiatuses.

I've been so focused on other things (and real life, ykwim?) that I've been doing much with my RM stuff, but I intend to work on this a little bit each day until I finish this!

Stuff you should know:

Some stuff about the new demo:
- It's twice as long (the original demo wasn't that long, don't worry)
- You get to actually choose your pathways
- Balance issues will be fixed
- Plot-holes/dialogue issues addressed
- I changed the way some of the pictures were presented to give them a slightly more...'unified' look, if you will.
- There will be a 'chart' that you can access from your menu screen that will explain the strengths and weaknesses of each element (since the game doesn't use traditional elements like "fire, water...etc".
- A new title screen

And of course, the mainstays:
- Colored arrows to direct you to your next destination (in addition to hints)
- When backtracking you can skip battles - meaning you won't have to free from the same enemies over and over

So that's all for now!

Never mind, I lied. Here's yet another title screen:

NEW PLANS AND....A VIDEO!

2010-11-25T11:53:00.000-08:00

Hello all!

I think I'm going to try my hand at writing a full-length novel again. I finished planning for one I intend to write in the near future called "Eternal Blaze", which I love so far, but before I start that, I am going to do a "practice run" if you will, of a story I have in mind called "Vanity". Yes, I stole the name from one of my older/current projects, but I'm going to take it to a completely different direction. I'm basically going to scrap 'Forbidden' and start over, but still use the same characters (but in different roles, more or less). I may or may not decide to upload Forbidden in its *RAW* unedited form...but that would be pretty embarrassing. ;) Well actually, it depends on how comfortable I am with writing Vanity and the kind of feedback I get on it. I'm actually looking forward to this because it will grant me the kind of creative freedom and opportunities for ~*DEPTH*~ and expansion that I would never have had writing screenplays.

Also, I uploaded some videos I had of Total Chaos were laying around. You can check them out on my youtube channel or Total Chaos's game page!

Bug in Manos found

2010-11-04T17:29:00.000-07:00

AS MICHAEL:

After you fight the Roundworm in the Catacombs, DO NOT go back in the save! Continue down the corridor and watch the scene that occurs. If you go back and save immediately after the fight before viewing the scene, a switch will set off prematurely and you will completely miss that scene, not to mention you'll be stuck watching a very buggy scene instead. =P

I apologize in advance for this.

NASTY BUG in 'Manos' fixed

2010-10-28T11:59:00.000-07:00

Hello all!

If you were playing as Margaret, battle was supposed to take place in the Chapel but instead the game crashed (for those who didn't have VX).

Well, there was a problem with the enemy's graphic, but it has been fixed now. So, the game SHOULD be working as normally. I tried it and tested it, and it worked for me.

Here is the new download link:

MANOS: The Hands of Fate

2010-10-27T09:44:00.000-07:00

...Is my new game and it's available now! I will possibly make a game-page and a teaser trailer for it when I can, but in the mean time, you can download and read more information about it here:

http://rpgmaker.net/games/2607/

It's a short game, around 1:30-2:00 hours of play time, and was made for a Scary Movie/Halloween event.

COMPLETE CHAOS on the track to become my highest downloaded game of ALL TIME!

2010-10-26T06:16:00.000-07:00

According to MediaFire -- Complete Chaos: Special Edition, in just four months, has received 10,100 downloads as October 26, 2010. I never expected the downloads to reach this high! I wish I knew where the huge downloads were coming from, but a las, perhaps in due time. In any case, I hope everyone is enjoying the game and mucho thanks to everyone who downloaded!

VIDEO GALORE!

2010-10-02T23:59:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

I was bored tonight and didn't have anything else to do, so I started uploading videos of Total Chaos (no, not Complete Chaos, but 'Total', from 2007). Eventually, I'm going to get around to recording every scene from the game (as well as optional scenes) and upload them on my youtube channel, that way you can watch the game if you don't feel like playing through it. =P

PS: I've come quite a long ways, haven't I? Haha.

Onyx 2 learns a lession in "giving less to provide more"!

2010-08-21T21:21:00.000-07:00

For some reason, today I was playing through my old games (Onyx, Onyx 2 and Total Chaos). One of them made me cringe, I chuckled at some scenes from the other, and there was one I was pleasantly surprised by... and that one was Onyx 2. So I went back over the intro stage, touched it up a little...but the biggest thing I did for it was removing the facesets, which people have complained about since the day it was released (but I was too lazy to change anything).

So to summarize, Onyx 2 has a new download up, a version without the facesets. Sounds like a minor change, but considering what the facesets looked like (and how BIG they were)....some people may be quite happy with the change. I hope.

Here some screens showing off the change. A video or two may follow!

Anyway, for those who actually liked the facesets (all two of you =P), that download will remain as well.

Anyways, until next time...see ya!

PS: Complete Chaos's download count has reached 5000, and Total Chaos has reached 10,000. *plays Usher's OMG*

COMPLETE CHAOS REACHES 4000 DOWNLOADS!!!

2010-08-10T19:00:00.000-07:00

4042, to be exact.

Today, Complete Chaos: Special Edition has reached over 4000 downloads, according to MediaFire.Which means, it has beat Onyx 2's total download count (3700+) in just a two months of release, versus the latter's three years of release. Furthermore, this makes Complete Chaos my third highest downloaded game ever.

Another fun fact: just last week Total Chaos' total download count has risen to 9800+, beating out Onyx's 9700+ and becoming my highest downloaded game ever. Whoo-hoo!

Minor note, but the "standard edition" of Complete Chaos has 1040+ downloads. It rose to about 1000 before the release of the Special Edition.

I'm not sure where these downloads are coming from, but I'm certainly thankful, and I hope the players are enjoying the game. Thanks so much, guys! =D

COMPLETE CHAOS: SPECIAL EDITION RELEASE!

2010-06-16T13:17:00.000-07:00

And it comes with a trailer! Enjoy!

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?nymzyzgyngt

The following issues have been addressed/fixed in this version, including:
- Graphical issues (mix-matched facesets begone!)
- Balance issues (enemies are slower in battle and the encounters are not as frequent. To compensate, the characters get more experience in battle and new equipment/items are MUCH less expensive. I also edited some of the characters' stats as well--some were seriously overpowered)
- Fixed plot-holes
- Cleaned up some of the language (when it didn't make sense)
- Dropped more hints for the player

Also, as a "treat" if you will, this new version contains exclusive material not found in the original game, such as:
- More optional dungeons
- Hidden playable characters
- 2 bonus endings (one good/one bad) that replace the original ending

The "standard edition" will be available too, encase anyone's curious about it....

COMPLETE CHAOS GETS A RE-RELEASE!

2010-06-03T15:54:00.000-07:00

I'm going to re-release this game as "Complete Chaos: Special Edition." This version fixes up some issues the first release had (such as the enemy encounters, balance issues/graphics, lack of proper directions at certain points as well as bit of the profanity), as well as contains a number of additional optional quests (which includes 3 hidden characters and 1 new bonus ending!). I am currently putting the finishing touches on the Deluxe edition and I plan to test-play through the entire game again to make sure it runs smoothly, which should take a week or two, give or take.

When I'm finished with that, I'm going to make a 10 minute gameplay trailer of the Special Edition a la Vanity.

That's all for now and I will keep you posted! The "standard" edition will still remain available.

TOTAL CHAOS - THE UNDERGROUND SHRINE 'PUZZLE'

2010-06-03T15:48:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I get asked this a lot so I decided to enter directions on how to beat the Underground Shrine in Total Chaos, you know, the area with all the darkness and stuff. You're supposed to light the way with candles but finding the first one can be a little tricky...

Alright, here we go!

---

The black screen is intentional. You're supposed to light the way with candles. Here specific directions to reach the first candle:

FROM THE STARTING POINT (without moving):

1) Take FIVE STEPS DOWN

2) Take SEVEN STEPS to the LEFT

3) Take TWO STEPS UP

4) Take EIGHT STEPS to the LEFT and you will arrive at the second section:

5) Now, take FORTY-SEVEN STEPS to the LEFT.

6) Take ONE STEP UP

7) Click ENTER and you'll arrive at a small room.

8) Next, take SIX STEPS UP and click ENTER and you'll have your first candle. If you click enter and nothing happens, and turn RIGHT ONCE and hit enter again.

Each candle lasts for about five minutes before going out. That said, this dungeon is short compared to the others, so you can easily breeze through the battles and rack up the candles, thus no longer having to worry about another "blackout." However, if you were to skip every random encounter in that dungeon, that WILL NOT hurt you at all when facing the boss. :)

I hope that helps.

----

Don't worry, you will never see anything like this again in any of my games.

"OMG, I tried using Johnnie's "Glue" and the game crashes! Wtf?!?!?!"

2010-04-12T04:25:00.001-07:00

-Here's how you fix that:

1) Open the COMPLETE CHAOS game folder.

2) Open the the "BATTLE" folder.

3) Find the picture that says "paralyze1"

4) copy that file into a separate folder, and then rename it to "Paralysis"

5) insert the "Paralysis" picture file into the BATTLE folder, and the game shouldn't crash when using that spell.

6) Remember, BOTH "paralyze1" and "Paralysis" files need to exist to avoid further crashes.

MAP 0004 ERROR WHEN ZIPPING...

2010-03-06T02:27:00.001-08:00

Some people may run into this, some people may not, but if you have an older version of the game and you come across this error, simply download Map 0004 and add it to the zip folder. Everything should run smoothly after that.

Map 0004

This is strange, for Map 0004 hasn't been modified since May and the game doesn't even USE it, so really, if you download WinRar if that says the map has been "corrupted," you can basically just ignore it and play the game without it, since it's not used. It won't/shouldn't cause any game crashes.

ERROR FIXED IN COMPLETE CHAOS

2010-03-01T13:37:00.000-08:00

There's a game-breaker that happens late in the game that has been fixed. If you downloaded the game before 3/1/2010, I suggest downloading it again so you can avoid this.

COMPLETE CHAOS IS COMPLETE! [no pun intended]

2010-02-14T15:20:00.000-08:00

Complete Chaos is, as of now, 100% finished. I finished test playing yesterday and although I would like to believe that I did a thorough job, you can never be too sure. In any case, the game runs totally smoothly, so there shouldn't be any technical errors.

I will upload the full game tomorrow, but in the mean time, enjoy these trailers!

Complete Chaos is coming TO AN END

2010-01-20T05:23:00.000-08:00

I finished test playing the remaining side quests, as well as the guide, so now all I have to do is finish the final dungeon, which I started working on last night.

I play to have everything done no later than NEXT WEEK, in which then I'll begin test playing, which shouldn't take too long.

If everything goes well Complete Chaos by should be released at the absolutely latest February 2010!

GOBLIN...

2009-12-16T05:41:00.000-08:00

The most recent revision has been completed and uploaded. Don't know if it's any good, mind you, but I feel like I'm improving on the more technical aspects...

Anyways, I feel happy about it. But I suppose time will tell........

You can browse through it in the SCREENPLAYs section, as well as the original ("prototype") version.

- Adrian

So, I have decided to enter a SCREENWRITING CONTEST...

2009-11-25T16:38:00.000-08:00

And the script I'm going to use is "Goblin." I'm going to spend every second of the free time I have to make it as perfect and "tight" and cohesive as I possibly can. So far, I think it's going along nicely...but I am so paranoid about my writings, it will probably never be good enough for me, and thus I'll keep revising, and revising, and revising, and...............

But I really am going to do this, this time. If it still exists, I want to enter the same writing contest that the script, "The Strangers" (remember that movie? Well you should, since it's fairly recent, especially if you're a horror fan =P) did so well in. Just because. But my primary goal is to receive professional feedback. I want to know EVERY detail I need to work on and improve upon. Honest, straight to the point feedback...but hopefully nothing brutal. Not that it'd stop me. But it would hurt my self esteem, and force me to pay attention in class, for I may need to find other career alternatives. *laugh out loud*

I will post the revised version of GOBLIN whenever it's done. Of all my scripts, it is one of my favorite ones, if only because it's exactly the kind of horror movie I like to see....lots of characters, beautiful women, cheesy/humorous dialogue...and death. Lots, and lots of death. It's not particularly scary, but my main focus was just making it entertaining. I want this to be the kind of movie someone could watch over and over and over, and not get sick or bored of it.

If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I think GOBLIN does have a good story buried underneath all the shit, so I'm going to do everything in my power to bring it out. Furthermore, I believe it is totally unique and "my style," but still accessible enough for a general audience to "get" and enjoy. And hopefully some parts will be memorable, but not for anything bad, though. With GOBLIN, I wasn't really focused on creating OUTSTANDING CINEMA. I just wanted to write something campy and fun. Hopefully it worked? We'll see.

You can see GOBLIN in its current not-so-great form on the screenplays' page. View at your own risk.

More, More, More!

2009-10-26T08:37:00.000-07:00

So, I actually started to, you know, use my youtube channel, and have uploaded several videos for Complete Chaos, Vanity and Mystery Man Zero. But mostly for Complete Chaos.

Check it out!

http://www.youtube.com/user/Yeaster

I Lied. Again.

2009-10-20T13:10:00.000-07:00

Complete Chaos will not be coming out this month. You can thank school for that.

HOWEVER, I only have one more dungeon to do, so it will be here shortly. I won't say when, because when I give myself a "due date," I fuck up, and don't get it done. But just know that it will be here. And soon.

Mystery Man Zero will follow, with Vanity not too far behind.

Also, expect to see some gameplay videos of Complete Chaos in the new future!

- A. Clyde

I Lied

2009-08-14T07:47:00.000-07:00

The full released version of Complete Chaos is still in the works, but it will not be coming out in mid-August like originally planned. HOWEVER, I only have three more dungeons to complete, and I expect to start working on one of them next week. Furthermore, the optional side quests are coming to an end. I have to finish the quest between the brothers and Fiona, as well as George's summon creatures side quests, but those shouldn't take too long.

Unfortunately, because of the game's size, the game and the guide book will be released separately.

In summary, expect this game to be released NO LATER THAN OCTOBER. If it isn't released by then, then I probably had killed myself.

[please don't take that last comment seriously]

- Adrian Clyde

कोम्प्लेते चोस अपडेट!!

2009-07-03T07:12:00.001-07:00

Well, for starters, the full game has a set release date. Mid-August, 2009. At the absolute VERY least, the game will be released in September, but that is rather doubtful.

So, to celebrate the upcoming release of Complete Chaos, I made a new banner for it! What do you think?

Here is the original, less massive banner.

Be on the lookout... Complete Chaos is coming SOON!

- Adrian Clyde

NEW SCREENPLAY!

2009-02-26T10:01:00.000-08:00

It's (GASP) my "own version" of an entirely separate story, Battle Royale, which is about a whole bunch of stuff, but to sum it up, 42 ninth gradeRs are sent on an island to kill each other in three days until only one is left standing. It was a cult hit in Japan (where it was made) and has a bit of a following in the United States (although the movie wasn't actually released here). It's a really great movie, despite being painfully predictable, so track it down (amazon.com) and buy it! The subtitles were a bit choppy at times, but it didn't keep me from enjoying the story. The original had a sequel, and although I didn't see it (and don't plan to), I heard absolutely nothing good about it.

Anyway, my version is similar to the original, but different. I didn't want to just copy the same events of the first film...but use American names instead. That would be boring and a waste. The characters in my version are totally my own, and the plotlines/developmental/character arcs are mine as well, although VERY FEW were inspired by the original.

ERROR IN VANITY NOW FIXED!

2008-09-22T17:41:00.000-07:00

Yup, there was an error in Azazel's Cult that prevented you from geting into the locked doors, even if you had the right passcode.

Hopefully it works now. VANITY'S blog page has the new links updated, so just re-download if you have to. You won't have to worry about starting your game over again, so you can keep the same save files.

I'm Not Dead

2008-09-07T04:44:00.000-07:00

I haven't been updating the Vanity and Complete Chaos sections like I should, seeing as how there have been quite of bit of progress from those games, but I've been lazy, so you know how that goes...

I've actually taken a break from RPGM to focus more on my writings. I'm almost finished planning a new script I want to write called 'TRIAD OF FOOLS," but before I start writing the actual thing, I want to revise all of my other scripts first. I finished "MARKED" & "TAROT CARDS" already, and I'm going to start with "YOUTH" next, so when that's over with (and let's hope it's soon), I'll focus on TOF.

About a month ago, I finished the design for the entire Forbidden cast (thank God). I'll upload those once I start uploading the actual chapters...which won't be any time soon, sorry. :(

So yeah, that's it. Now Vanity and Chaos screens, and plus a video of Complete Chaos coming very soon.

Later, buds!

...Has finally been completed! It's uploaded in the Screenplays section, and now that all of the scripts have been revised, I'm going to re-do the section a little bit, adding a brief summary of each script...which is what I should've done in the first place. - Adrian Clyde -

A SLIGHT DETOUR...

2008-05-14T19:52:00.000-07:00

Okay, so a few weeks ago, I got some surprise reads from my script GOBLIN. Comments were...unfavorable, to say the least. They weren't bad, well they were, but nothing like "OMG it SUCKS! You have no talent!" or whatever. Someone was like they couldn't believe the dialouge or the characters or whatever (then the next review I got said they didn't mind the dialouge, but that's neither here or there... ;p ). So anyway, needless to say, I immediately started looking over GOBLIN, and the negative comments I got made so much sense. So I just finished it about an hour ago and I plan to re-submit it. I probably won't get another comment for like 2 years or so, but we'll see...

But good news! I'm starting CLOSED SHUT tomorrow! I honestly can't wait. It's honestly one of my writing pieces of writing ever. It's not my best, but I love the characters (Erin Douglass & Lucia Henry <3), I love the setting, and it's just awesome to me.

Now, with that said, it's been a little over a year since I've even looked at it, so I'm a little scared...but after I take my time trimming out all the fat (Bye-bye Darry & Benny!), I think I could have something incredible on my hands (or at least that's what I've been told).

I'm also thinking about making Joey Henry, Lucia's 19-year old younger brother, a little older...to possibly start a fling between he and Erin. Since Benny's going to be written out (with his storyline being carried over to Anthony "Tony" Maxwell instead), Erin's going to need a new "love interest"...not that she and Benny ever had anything to begin with, just innocent flirting, which would be weird if a teenage Joey tried to flirt with a woman of Erin's age, class and beauty.

That said, Benny and Darry aren't going written out of the story completely...they'll just downgraded to be point where they're practically talking extras. They're gonna be around until the big scene in which the Museum reveals itself evil ugly self, and then they'll get hacked along with a bunch of other nonentities.

One last thing...let's talk about VANITY! It's a new RPG I'm making, but not to worry, for it will not slow down Complete Chaos's progress rate at all. Basically, aside from my screenplays, EVERYTHING is moving ever so slowly (don't even get me started on FORBIDDEN), but now that GOBLIN's been completed, I'll have time to work on some of the other stuff.

Here's some Vanity screens for you. I plan to make a separate page for it pretty soon.

PS: I have a job interview this Saturday. Wish me luck!

The Chelsia in Vanity is named after the bitch that was on Big Brother. Yay for originality!

LOCKED'S done...time for "CLOSED SHUT"

2008-03-23T12:25:00.001-07:00

A revised version of "LOCKED" has now been uploaded in the Screenplay section. It features two of some of my personal favorites, Joshua and Robby.

After I complete two additional episodes of FORBIDDEN, I'm going to begin revising the final "old" screenplay, "CLOSED SHUT," first written February 2007, and haven't been touched since. I'm really excited about it, because not only is it my second favorite, favorite script ("TAROT CARDS" is the first, third "GOBLIN"), it has a top five favorite character, ERIN DOUGLASS, and the "hottest" female ever...LUCIA HENRY (based off of mental representation). I just love everything about Closed Shut, it's definitely a movie I would pay to see.

At first I didn't make it to be good. I just wanted lots of gore, blood, monsters and cursing, and while many of the comments I received from Closed Shut were favorable, two stuck out in particular...which were neither good nor bad. They really broke down EVERY thing that was wrong the script, as well as things I could do that would make it a lot better. They actually showed me that the script ACTUALLY had potential! Dude, I was honestly shocked, because I wrote it with "HAUSE ON HAUNTED HILL" (1999 remake) and "FREDDY vs. JASON" in mind.

Here is the original copy of the script, as well as the comments. I really do like this website, because it is VERY, very constructive. They don't do a lot of ass kissing unless you're one of the more popular members, or if your script is really out of this world amazing, but even so, they still will provide you with a list of things to improve on, which I think is fantasic, and which definitely helped me become the writer I am today...as a newly-turned 20 year-old. The only bad part is that it's soooo hard to get your script read. :(

They trashed the fucked out of the original version of LOCKED, though. I hated it then, but in retrospect, it was very, very deserved. Very.

FUTURE READINGS...

2008-03-03T06:52:00.000-08:00

I plan to restart reading over LOCKED this week. I haven't touched it in almost two years, so I'm a little bit frightened...but I can do it. It'll take me two-three weeks, depending on how much I can get done in a day.

A slight revised version of GOBLIN is now up. I added in a new opening and fixed a little of the writing. I like it. :)

Planning for THE SHADOW ended last week, so the actual script tonight will begin some time soon, maybe even tonight...

Well, that's it for today. I have to get to class now [I have five minutes ;)]. Until next time...

Nothing major. So far, everything's going well. I haven't started revising "LOCKED" yet, and probably won't for a while. Complete Chaos is going smoothly, one more dungeon until Case #2 is finished. Forbidden is going smoothly as well...slow, but steady. I've actually gotten an actual life this semester, but I still take time out to devote myself to these things...because you never know...they may come in handy in the future... ;) [cue the creepy Earthbound tune]

Here are some banners made for "Gates Games." Nothing out of this world spectacular, but I tried to at least make them look interesting...for better or worse. :p

FORBIDDEN CAST REVEALED!!!

2007-12-28T16:35:00.000-08:00

Not the best artist, again, but here's pretty much how they look, except Kerri...kinda messed up on her. When you see her, think of a smaller, younger Fergie...but with red hair. And a ponytail.

Jim usually wears sunglasses, as well.

There's not really much to talk about, but I've overdosed on Forbidden these past two days, so I'll finally devote some time to that.

Well, I drew a "cover page" for it. I'm not the greatest artist in the world, but my talent is in my writing (among other things), so I'm not so worried about that.

Click to enjoy!

The guy is Brendan Marsh, the lead character, and the female is Liberty Lena. Brendan's supposed to be Native American, but...as you can see... He doesn't really look the way I pictured him, so expect new pictures coming soon.

I've been debating whether or not I should start uploading the Forbidden "journal logs." Including the prolouge, I have five written, and I'm working for the sixth one now. I plan to have 33 "episodes" total. I wonder how long it's going to take me to write all that? lol

Hmm... I guess I should wait a little longer...

Well, that's it! Hopefully I'll have face pics of Brendan and Liberty, followed by the rest of the (starting) characters.

NEW SCREENPLAY!

2007-11-30T06:33:00.000-08:00

YOUTH is upload, revised and ready to read for all curious minds.

I submitted it to simplyscripts.com, so whenever it's updated there, you can leave a message on the discussion board if you like.

Anyway, "MARK" is next on my list, and I'll begin revising that after I take my last final exam (Dec 17th).

Also, Onyx 2 and Total Chaos have now been uploaded on Caiman's site (now in the links). These are stand-alone games, so RPG Maker is not required to play them (though if you find an error that shuts the games down, please let me know!) I guess Onyx is still in the pending stage.

I wonder if I can get them all on Noodan... I don't know if they're taking submissions or not, though.

Ooooh well.

TAROT CARDS....

2007-11-04T07:48:00.000-08:00

Good evening all, I completed the revision of my first story ever, TAROT CARDS, today, so that's up incase anyone's curious. YOUTH is next, though I won't start revising it until around Thanksgiving.

Revisions, revisions, revisions....

2007-10-23T12:53:00.000-07:00

Hola!

Well, I just spent a crapload of time revising this blog. I knew there were a lot of grammar and spelling errors that needed to be fixed...I was just too lazy to fix them.

Aside from that, I added in a few bits of new info here and there, and I plan (or hope) to begin revising TAROT CARDS this week, to get that put up here. That script has crazy potential, but the dialouge is old and a lil' rough...but definitely fixable. :)

Come to think of that, this would be my forth time revising that thing. Oh well, I love it, though. Will/Sydnee <3

YOUTH or MARK may follow, but the rest won't be revised until during the Christmas break. This is around the time when college becomes demanding, and I'll be happy to report that I've actually managed to get a life, so I'm not home as much on weekends. HOWEVER, I still find time to write a piece here and there, which reminds me...

I UPLOADED A NEW DEMO TODAY!!! The "mysterious game" has been revealed as COMPLETE CHAOS, however I'm only going to post it on "smaller" websites. I'm still trying to get people to play ONYX 2, for the downloads haven't exactly been stellar so far... :(

Later!

GREETINGS to anyone currently visiting this blog. This blog (however cheap it looks) was mainly created to advertise my upcoming game, and to advertise the games I have already made (*cough*onyx2*cough*). However, for the curious mind, you can also browse through some of my previous work.

Updates concering my new "mysterious" game (or not so myserious...I'm not good at being mysterious) will be placed here excessively, so check back here if you're interested.

Until then...look through the games section. If something interests you, download it! Each game comes with a guide, but if you need further, in-depth assistance, drop a line, and I'll definitely get back to you.

Also, be on the lookout for F O R B I D D E N. For those like a some good o' horror, check back for updates concerning that.

So... Yeah, comments are appreciated definitely, but keep it tame. Criticism is encouraged, but not brutality.

Adios!
