VANITY: EXTENDED DEMO (coming soon)

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:

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

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!!!

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

NEW DEMO!

A short one, at least.


It's the first dungeon of a side project I'm doing, MYSTERY MAN ZERO, a dark comedy. Check it out the game's blog page for further info (and download link). The full game will probably be around 7 or 8 hours.

Thanks!

VANITY COMING JUNE 20TH!!!

...The demo, at least.

I have only two days to testplay. The demo isn't terribly long, but still...I wish I had a week. lol

PS: I actually have a job now! It's where I'm typing this from. I just got in. Okay, time to work now so I can get the hell out. Later!

CLOSED SHUT...

...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...

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!
