NEW NIGHTMARE DOWNLOAD!

Why does this always happen to me? So annoying. Anyway, in the old download, Buffy was supposed to equip Crossbows and while she could, the weapon would never level up. That's been fixed now, so if you want, here's a new download if you really wanted to equip her with a crossbow.

New Download

ETA 1/16/16

There was an issue with Matt's equipment, too. So yet another download has been added. Also, there was an annoying error that happened when you tried to scan an enemy after one's been killed. Hopefully that's also been fixed.

Luckily, you don't have to start over. Still, sorry for the inconveniences!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I finished A Nightmare in Sunnydale! Yay! And here's the download! =D http://www.mediafire.com/download/ajwevi24398vo8g/=ANISC=_(full).zip My miracle game. It survived TWO computer crashes. Given how much money it cost me to keep this game alive, you bet I worked to finish it! =D Enjoy!!!! If you don't, that's totally fine, too. Any comments/questions/complaints/rants you have, feel free to leave them here or email me at gholt188@yahoo.com

THE FUTURE OF SUNNYDALE...

...Is bright! I just got my data back from Best Buy, and everything is as I left it. So glad! Maybe MMZ will come out after all! heehee We'll see.

A NIGHTMARE IN SUNNYDALE MAY BE SAVED!!!

Best Buy called me this evening, saying that (most of) my files have been recovered. They mentioned that while the ANISC folder was saved, the files may be unreadable, so I'm hoping that's just because RPGM VX itself wasn't retrieved, for it would be BEYOND crappy if the folder was saved, but the files can't be accessed. But I must keep hope alive! I'll pick up my files tomorrow evening, so I'll post then about the FUTURE of 'Sunnydale.'

A NIGHTMARE IN SUNNYDALE IS STILL IN LIMBO

It would be my luck if Best Buy is able to retrieve everything on my hard-drive except 'Sunnydale' and MMZ. XD I just called them. They're still trying to save my files from my damaged hard-drive, but will call me when they have a significant update.

Well, you know what they say, hope for the best but expect the worst! I still have the beta version of Sunnydale on mediafire, so if need be, I can download it again and play through it a fourth (!!!) time and make all the changes I made again. Either way, the game WILL come out. I put way too much time in it.

As for MMZ, if that game isn't saved, it's probably gone forever. =(

A NIGHTMARE IN SUNNYDALE IS MY MOST EXPENSIVE GAME EVER

Not hard, when my other games cost all of $0 to produce. =P

Basically, 'Sunnydale' has endured two computer crashes, the first which almost took 'Sunnydale' (and everything else I've done ever) out with it, but the game was saved by Gillware Inc, for a truckload of $800. My, I guess, now old computer randomly crashed last Thursday. I mean, at least the other time this happened, my computer fell, but this time, my computer just stopped working randomly. That morning, it was working fine, but when I came home from work, it wouldn't let me sign in. The DELL screen was on loop. And then eventually the automatic repair screen was on loop. What a drag.

Hopefully, best buy is extracting the data from my hard drive as we speak. Luckily, I had my writings up to date, but my games, including Mystery Man Zero, hadn't been updated (on my flash) for well over a year. Last year was hard enough without the few actual good things to come out of it being rendered obsolete via a computer crash. >.<

Anywho, gillware's services and best buy's geek quad combined has cost me over $1,000. Or close to. I still have Sunnydale's script done, but I've made soooooooooooooo many changes to the actual game, even after I gave the game to testers, so if Best Buy calls me tomorrow or Wednesday and says they were unsuccessful in retrieving my data, I'll be really, really disappointed. Crushed. And then I'll demand a refund.

PS: Omg, the weather lately has been a-mazing. Does this mean Spring is finally here??? 'Bout time!

A NIGHTMARE IN SUNNYDALE TRAILER!

Enjoy!!!

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!!!

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).

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. =)

HIPHOP GAMER

Okay, so, there's this rapper who also happens to be a huge gamer. I mean, it is ridiculous how knowledge he is about gaming, and his rap skills are nothing to frown at either. He has an entire webseries devoted to ALL sorts of gaming stuff: reviews, interviews with industry people and all sorts of goodies. His videos can be a bit camp BUT he is also very, very insightful. I enjoy him much. 

I have been out of the gaming loop for a good four years almost, but Hip Hop Gamer (HHG, as he is known), has slowly inspired me to get into gaming again. Prior to April (when I discovered him), I thought gaming was a part of my life dead and gone. Because of him, A Nightmare on Sunnydale and Gatekeeper will see releases after all, haha!

He also has a website: http://hiphopgamerinc.com/

Below is a video of him reviewing The Last of Us. Check him out!

 

 

 

 

 

'SUNNYDALE' IS IN A SUNNY PLACE!

Oh em gee! I can't believe it has been fourteen months since my last update!!!! Wowzers. Anyway, I have been working on stuff, faithfully, I might add, but I guess I just didn't think I had anything exciting to say? New Years Resolution alert, but that will change. Initially, I only wanted to dedicate this blog to my creative projects, but I think I want to make it a little more personal, too? That way, people will get a ~taste of the REAL ADRIAN CLYDE, whoever he may be.

Without further ado, I can almost guarantee that A NIGHTMARE IN SUNNYDALE will be out this year (!). I was aiming for a Summer release, but, um, I don't see that happening. But an Autumn release could be possible, if I keep chipping away at it.

Initially, I had meant for this game to be completed in 2010, the year it was started, but so many things "got in the way", so to speak, will I will disclose later. A lot has changed with me, and I have had to prioritize other things. I didn't think I would ever get into RPGM again, but I guess I just felt the need to indulge in some healthy brain candy. I am determined to get this game out and Gatekeeper as well, which  I am really proud of, so far.

So here's the deal. For the last...two months, I think? whenever things have been slow at work (or not, such as today lolz), I have been writing out scenes for Sunnydale (and Gatekeeper, too) and when I get home, I would do a little bit of dungeon-building here, a little bit there, and it's all starting to add up now. In terms of where the storyline is, I'm basically at the endgame. After I'm done with the current dungeon, I'll be pretty much done with the "main path", sans the last dungeon. All I would have left to do would be to write out scenes for a few of the side paths, which won't be difficult because, I mean, hello, I love writing!

As far as the dungeon construction goes, that is just about finished. All I have to do is finish Billy Loomis's dungeon, and the final one. That's it. Dungeon construction is by far my least favorite thing, so I just wanted to get it all over with. I figured if I could do away with that, then it would all but solidify 'Sunnydale's release.

I haven't updated the demon library yet, but that's the easiest part for me, so it's no big.

All in all, the end is definitely near. I'm pretty pumped about possibly having another finished game out there. No more demos for me. I contemplated releasing a demo of Gatekeeper, but nope! Demos have a tendency of slowing things down, because you start to get hyper obsessing about promoting your game and seeing what people are saying about it that you start to neglect your game, and that, my friends, is never good.


Onto other stuff. Really, the reason I've been so slow with RM stuff is because for the last two years, I've been working on something of a novel (which is 1000x better written than this blog post, I assure you). THE UNSEEN, it is called, a psychological horror-fantasy tale about a band of friends and their struggle to overcome a soul-sucking demon who compensates for its incorporeality by exploiting and feeding off their greatest and darkest fears. It is based on a REALLY shitty screenplay I wrote three years ago, but I thought the idea had some potential so I had decided to give it another ago (actually, the idea decided to give *me* another go; for six months, it just wouldn't get out of my head!). When I started writing the first draft in December 2010, I described it as "The Evil Dead" meets "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and"Silent Hill", but while it is still all of those things, last summer, I had a Neon Genesis Evangelion marathon (the first in over a DECADE omg), and The Unseen has since taken on much different path than I originally thought it would, which is actually a wonderful thing because the inspiration that NGE gave me helped mold The Unseen into the story I intended it to be (so many times I would hit a "block", forcing me to take a break from it and do something else; it was put on hiatus three times, the longest one lasting six months). It has been a long and hard two-and-a-half years, but there may be a light at the end of the tunnel yet. I am currently revising my third draft and if I'm pleased with the results, I'll start hunting for editors and/or outside feedback. At the moment, I am very, very happy with this draft, but we shall see what the future beholds. The last time I read the first half of the manuscript was in November 2012, so, um, this process may last a while, haha.

I haven't forgotten about Total Chaos, well, not entirely. I'm going to go back to onlining it this week (along with Goblin, hopefully). I have a really cool premise in mind for it. In the end, I'm not sure how much of TC's SOURCE MATERIAL is going to be used, and all of the characters will definitely be involved (although some (Lindsay Lohan) will obviously be renamed), but this new idea is going to be so much more involved than the "original", and I can't wait to start on it. It's going to be camp, it's going to be part-satire (basically of things/types of people that bug me *to no end*), but it's also going to have a lot of hart. Basically, it's going to be BIG.  It just gets hard sometimes trying to juggle multiple writing projects, since my time is so limited because of my job (gotta pay the bills y'all). I really only have time to read The Unseen on weekends, so that gives me a few hours during the week to devote to other stuff I like, such outlining my next projects. Currently, I've been outlining (albeit off-and-on) Goblin, Dreamlover, and Total Chaos all at once, which has been totally easy all the time! Goblin, horror/comedy, and Dreamlover (which may or may not have been inspired by a Mariah Carey song lol), horror/sci fi/romance/fantasy/psychological, will get their own updates when I'm further into developing them.
