So...

I haven't been around for a good 8 months or so. Life has been busy. I was playing in a band called Farewell Yesterday...post-hardcore/screamo band. It kept me extremely busy, til it fell apart.

There is a new band, but we aren't quite off the ground yet. So I'm back for a little while...but who knows exactly how long. Maybe I'll actually get something that people can play out there this time around :P

for those that are curious, the new band is here:

As far as the project I'm working on...I'm going to attempt to bring back the first-person project I was working on. Minus the Vampire Hunter D theme. I felt that idea had far too much history for me to attempt to fan-game it. So I'll leave it pure and untouched. :)

Recently started working on the battle system for the game. Not quite finished yet, but it does put you (and your party) into the actual battle and sets everything up and all. Here's a little clip, nothing special:



...and if you didn't notice, I reworked the sidebar to match the main menu. ^_^

In other news, a friend of my girlfriend (well, mine too but technically hers first) just kicked out their second guitarist. Guess who he was replaced by? ME! Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss...

I'll upload recordings of the full band when we have something done.

I haven't updated this in a while. So I'll do that now. Basically it's concerning that little project I've been working on.

The basic backbone of the project is a simple idea: MUD meets GUI. Done before? Probably. Done in Byond? Not that I've seen. Basically instead of describing your location, its displayed on screen, but movement in space is MUD-like. Of course, 2D-top down views are boring. Who wants that, really? It'd be just another RPG. So...


There's a shot of the first-person MUD-thingy in action. Or non-action, since its a still picture and all. The actual movement engine has been done for months, I just never knew what I wanted to do with it. Onwards!

The basic storyline of the game is similar to Vampire Hunter D. I like Vampires, they're awesome. And the lack of vampire games on Byond, or anywhere for that matter, depresses me. The game isn't really based on D or its world, but some of the ideas will make their way into the game, such as the various races/mutants and abilities they have.

So there's a sneak peek. If anyone has any ideas, comments, etc. feel free to leave some feedback. I could always use new ideas.

Been a while, fellow Byondians. Or are we Byonders? Nevertheless, I'm here with a name change. Well, I've changed a lot more than that since the last time I was here over 6 months ago. My hair, my place of residence, musical interests, financial obligations...oh and I have a g/f too. Oh wait...

*ahem* You're probably wondering who I am then. Well, I've had a few keys...but Ghaleon is the one most people know of.

"Oh god, its the guy that made Fast and the Furious."

...yeah. I did. Sorry. I promise to never make a game based off a horrible movie ever again. Though the second movie wasn't that bad.

However!!! I am working on a new project, but I'm not unveiling anything about it just yet ^_^

PS: Yes, I can be an emo kid and a computer dork at the same time. I'm also a car nut, paintball freak, ex-skater, ex-jock, and I like the color pink, but am homophobic under certain conditions.
