Back and Better Then Ever!

April 2, 2013 in Games, General, Uncategorized

Alright guys, you said some things. I said some things, but I think we can forget all that and allow me to say a great announcement.

Is it cause we were dicks? Yea probably, sorry about that guys but we’ve been all over the place lately with games, personal issues and other stuff. So to make up for it… I don’t know, but we’ll figure out something soon. Promise guys.

Go to my new Youtube channel ChristianOfLycia where I’ll be uploading stuff very soon, just creating graphics and all that for it so stay tuned!

It’s Been a While Huh? – Day 16

February 13, 2013 in Games, General, Ruins of Sterling, Uncategorized

Now I’m gonna go by the day since I started this blog. Obviously you guys can tell it’s not as consistent as I wanted it to be with everyday blogs. Sadly my gaming life isn’t that interesting. So to make for lost time and connections I decided something.

 

Make this site more of a news site with blogs!!

 

Now before you go, “Oh man, another gaming news site–” I’ll still making blog posts about my game and I’ll still be posting normal everyday gaming stuff that I do.

As you guys can see I have been gone for a while and that’s because I really didn’t have much to show you guys. I don’t want to spoil anything for this game and right now I’ve been doing bits and pieces of it for quite a while. As much as I WANT to show you guys it’s not a NEED basis for me to show you everything I’ve done. Obviously I’ll give you guys more outlook of the game plus giving you character and destination bios but I’m not going to be sharing much of the story anymore unless I feel it’ll help you guys better understand the game.

 

I’m a avid gamer. I play many games, mostly console and PC based since I can’t really afford a 3DS or Vita. So occasionally when I pick up a new game I’ll review it.

DMC: Devil May Cry.

With the “new” Dante packaged with an all new story and gameplay, it’ll be nice to try a out a “new” series and not necessarily a sequel. So far it’s really good, great characters, fine gameplay, and an art style that just goes perfectly with this game.

 

I don’t know how to end posts…

Oh Bane!

Be a Part of my Game! – Day 7.1 Part 2

February 6, 2013 in Games, General, Ruins of Sterling

I know the last part about the title didn’t make sense, but it doesn’t matter. You can be apart of my game if you truly want to be.

 

What I’ll be doing is allowing one of you to create a playble character/NPC (your choice) with whatever data you’d like to add to him/her.

For example you can make a character that’s some mysterious swordsman looking for a good adventure. Give me the details, drawings and such with what you’re character would be like. Detail is everything in an RPG so the more the better. Back story can be however you choose if it makes sense. I’ll be picking the best fit character/NPC for the game when I see fit so don’t be discouraged and think you can’t submit your ideas or something.

Down below you’ll find a character creator with many variants you can use for your avatar.

 

Char Creator

I know it’s translated from Japanese but I think you guys can deal with it, haha!

 

Email me at – christian@2brothersmode.com with your entries.

 

That’s pretty much it If you guys wanna be part of my game and feel it’d be fun to have your creation be in something cool like a video game, have at it.

It’s Day 7.1 Part 2, whatcha gotta know?

I’m Somewhat a GFX Designer? – Day 7.1

February 5, 2013 in General, Uncategorized

From what you can see from the title it’s more of a question to myself. Am I a GFX Designer? Answer to that, I don’t know.

I’ve made signatures for forums in the past, I even made the logo up top for the website. Plus I’ve made a new signature for my favorite forums with the hero from Final Fantasy 1 (you don’t have to pick a warrior in FF1)

So my question per say to you guys is the beginning question. I’ll leave some of my stuff down below so you can see for yourselves and judge me on my bad signature making skills. I’ve taken this back up since with the game I’ve been having to make new graphics for items and enemies.

“What the hell does he mean by Day 7.1?” Well I’m glad you asked ominously creepy voice with lots of questions. I’ll be having to posts today, this one and another one with a bit of a surprise. You’ll find out later, so check back around soon.

February 5, 2013 in General

Alright guys keeping this short and simple cause I’m on a marathon momentum here.

I started watching Full Metal Alchemist again a while back and I just now decided to start finishing it up. I’m like halfway done with the series and I remembered why I loved it so much. It’s so good! The characters are funny and awesome, story is amazing and the art work is like… Wow. Sadly though guys that’s all for today cause I gotta go back and not forget anything I just watched. Tomorrow I got a surprise for you all that you’ll probably enjoy.

 

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO END THINGS MEHHHH!~

UFC Disappoints Me – Day 5

February 3, 2013 in General, Uncategorized

Today isn’t even a blog about today, but more about what happened the last 2 hours of my life.

 

So I’m watching UFC with some family who also enjoy this greatly-violent sport. We’re watching some fights and almost all the fights have been disappointing to say the least. When you’re watching a fight and someone is getting their as handed to them; then randomly something happens and the person you’re rooting for, and know they’d win no matter what loses.

Just a really big let down tonight really has been for me. It’s almost midnight here so I’m finishing this so it won’t be another late blog, but Jesus Sword-Fighting Christ it was something.

 

See you guys tomorrow… Or in a few hours.

Facebook Fan Page!

February 2, 2013 in General

Hey guys, how’s it going? As usual with every post that I have made so far I say, ‘as you can see by the title…’ well that is exactly what I was going to say.

Anyway; we got a Facebook fan page! You can now keep up with mine and my brothers updates through Facebook, if you don’t like to keep going to the website just to check for updates. Now you can look at either our pointless status updates or you can check out or more important updates on our games. But enough of my ranting, long story short; we made a Facebook page, go like that up, and keep up with our updates!

The Core for Voltaria: Imaginative Freeze!

February 2, 2013 in The Core of Voltaria

Hey guys, how’s it going? Well I know that you’re doing good so don’t answer that question.

Well, as you can see by the title, their is an imaginative freeze. I cannot come up with a certain something to add to the game. I have tried a numerous amount of times, but, for some odd reason, I cannot gather any creative thoughts to add to the game; so, until further notice, I am putting a pause on the production/creation of ‘The core of Voltaria’.

Don’t fret, for the production process should continue very shortly. Hopefully I will be able to come up with more plot twists, cliff hangers, and more!

Since the day of release for Version 1.1, I have added more maps, story, and character(s). But since the latest map has been created I cannot come up with anything. So, as said before, until further notice, the production shall be put on hold.

Thanks for not complaining, and have a nice day!

HD Fails, Hacks, Chainmail Puppies – Day 4 of Blogging

February 2, 2013 in General

Sup guys so as you can tell from the title there’s been some shit going on with us and the site. Tried to log in after my main computers HD had some troubles (will tell in a sec) and I couldn’t log in. Used some stuff I found out that some little asshole got into the site and changed a bunch of admin stuff around. Finally I get in, change it up and blah blah blah.

Enough about that though, cause I’m back and plus the reason I wasn’t on before too was like I said; my computer had some troubles so I had to fix them myself. Luckily it didn’t involve new parts or anything so we’re all good! :)

 

Still playing the Fire Emblem games, also am replaying Final Fantasy 4. These stories are so great, they help me with the story for Ruins of Sterling and how I can get more in depth with characters and such with a much easier and nicer tactic. A lot of times I felt like my characters were rushed in at a lot of points but with these games they come in probably just as fast or maybe even faster. So now that I’m not too insane with my game I’ve added a lot more stuff. I plan on adding much more to the beginning (cutscene like) on how your character ends up on island with Beth Town. Although all these cutscenes will take some time to implement it’ll be well worth seeing I can promise you that.

 

I don’t know how to end this one so I’ll leave a funny pic.

Day 3 – Old Post, New Day (Events and Improvement)

January 30, 2013 in General, Ruins of Sterling

Creating events in RPG Maker is easy. The hard part is making them the perfect way you want them to go. Such as dialogue conversations and other cut scenes  As much as I hate trying to make them perfect, it never will be. There’s always something you can improve on everything. Video games are no exception to this.

 

Events in RPG Maker are just things that happen to you throughout the game. Weather it’s a specific monster battle to just allowing you to leave or enter places. I may be new when it comes to game design/making, but I’m no fool when it comes to making a driven story with great cutscenes and other cool stuff to make you want more.

I have to play my game over and over again each time I do something new to make sure it plays out the way I want it to so it looks nice and fluid and not just– OH LOOK! A BATTLE SEQUENCE THAT’S SUPPOSE TO TAKE PLACE MIDWAY IN THE GAME!!

So I’m constantly playing my game, I don’t grow dull of making this game because everything I do excites me. They make me wanna do more with the game and push the boundaries that other games haven’t.

 

No pic today guys, maybe next time. I’ll see you guys later!
