Archeia kindly made me some graphics for my fangame~
The art isn't finalized yet but I would like to draw for it for sometime soon! I'm going to work hard to help and hope that we'll finish it after BBI~

Dear Brother of Mine

Another lead, another moment of isolation.

Alphonse Elric hates it when his brother finds a lead. He gets absorbed into the moment so much that he shuts down everything around him. Focusing only on his goal of finding clues regarding the Philosopher's Stone and retrieving Al's body back.

He sighs as he sees his brother sitting under a tree. Writing notes quickly and precisely. His focus unwavering. Somehow the view unnerves him. His brother is a child of the sun, his golden hair and eyes covered by the shade felt like the darkness is swallowing him whole.

Just like that moment at the gate

He sighs, as much as a piece of armor could muster, when he sees pure white flowers growing as a pack. With divided interest, he thought surely his brother would have to take a rest soon. It's a nice day out!

Much to his dismay, the day passed with silence, only the sounds of the pen and paper meeting and the cheer of children can be heard. Edward ignored Al's pleas of eating lunch. It's as if his brother wasn't there.

When night came by, Edward scowled as he can't see whatever he's reading anymore and stands.

"Come on Al, let's go back. I'm starving!"

Edward turns his heel.

"Wait brother!"
"Hm?"

His gloved hand brushes across his brother's left cheek. Edward was taken by surprise as a pristine, white flower hanged behind his ear.

"Hee hee, it suits you brother~"
"Al...I'm not a girl"
"I know~"

Al loved how the white flower brought out the features of his golden brother. It made him seem brighter and ...free. An unexplainable feeling but a breathtaking sight.

Edward sighs but leaves the flower on. It was after all, a gift from his brother.

Scripting and Art

Archeia and Rhyme has been kind enough to let me borrow their game engine. Archeia has also been kind enough to make me a GUI out of it. I'm really thankful for her hard work. Double thanks to Rhyme for helping us out despite being busy with her contest game!

I also changed the title of the game due to story reasons.
I finished Edward's artwork and Archeia had to help me ink some parts. I'm glad it worked out well.

I need to get working with the sprites and all those things. But I hope it'll go well as well :)

Game Info Update

I updated the Project and Characters page. I hope it's easily understandable for everyone!
I made this for fun, I have an addiction for user bars haha

Observations on the New Generation of RM Development

I came back to RM in hopes to relinquish the days I had back then where I am in constant inspiration mode. Because RM2k/3 days were incredibly fun and inspiring. I was even ready to do multiple let's plays just because I'm so hyped.

But I think I'm proven very wrong. My observations:

1.) They focus on making their maps pretty than actual level design.

2.) They don't spend time at all to customizing their systems and rely too much on copy pasting scripts.


3.) Everyone is off on their own island. It's almost impossible to find help in the English community or at least team projects that actually work that aren't just new people helping each other. It seems that nobody that are of high level are willing to help and those who are new rely on commanding people instead of making their games with passion.


4.) Everyone is very opinionated than constructive unlike in the 2002-2006 days. What I mean by this is that, everyone is extremely picky unlike before were standards where very low and people focus on having fun. I'm really disappointed over this.


5.) Most of the communities I visit dearly are either dead or inactive. This is very disheartening...
6.) Only a selected few games from the New Gen caught my attention, I am worried :(


I joined in RPG-Atelier hoping that I'll find that flair again someday. I'll do my best to enjoy the English Community though! I might be on the wrong places. After all, a day just passed so far :D
