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 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!
