Edit: It has not been NINE YEARS. No, it can't have been. Omg.. omg.. it has been. Daaaamn. o_o
Durr... SIX years, that is.
Well, I don't know if I there's any point in saying this, considering how long it's been, but my username here used to be Arasan Nayamu. I'm female, 29, a serious hardcore gamer, and the only thing I contributed here last time was my voice for the milk maid in "Apprentice". And after looking myself up on here out of curiosity, I gotta say... I'm not at all proud of who I used to be. I learned that I was a complete jerk, overdosed on mean-spirited sarcasm, and all around shitty to everyone. I am aware of the reason why, but a bad relationship is not an excuse to be an asshat to others, so I sincerely apologize for any previous bad behavior. Please, please forgive me? -_-;;
Why have I returned? I don't really know, honestly. I have nothing new to show, not even any new art really... just some goofy plant sprites that I had worked on and off for a couple years. Er, sorry, not those kind of sprites... faeries. Mandrakes, if you know the term. I meant to use them in many different things, like cards, totes, children's stories, and maybe even an adventure game down the road, but so far haven't gotten around to any of it because several medical issues arose out of the blue. Possibly even a degenerative muscle disease, but the doctors still aren't sure, so I'm just trying to stay positive and productive in some manner.
Alright, alright, I know why I came back. It's just kind of embarrassing, I guess. I had given up on making any adventure games previously because Mister Abusive Boyfriend was.. extremely negative toward all ideas, constantly berating me on the futility of adventure gaming ever becoming popular again. Since he was very adamant about it and had a computer science degree, I figured he was right, like pretty much everything I believed him on... like a damned fool. I have since replaced Mister Abusive Boyfriend with Wonderful, Geeky, Loving, Caring Husband that supports me in whatever endeavor I choose to get myself into about once a month or so. lol He is also the reason I am much more laid-back, calm, and contemplative, and not so knee-jerk defensive and derisive.
Recently, I've been playing a lot of adventure games on Steam and I think it's amazing how Steam and other incredible sources have brought back the adventure game genre as a viable option for serious indie gaming in only a couple years! Some of my friends (and even my mother! wait--what?!) who had never once touched an adventure game in their life are buying them, playing them, and enjoying them! I saw the new Blackwell Legacy yesterday and also saw that it was made with AGS, and I realized just how long it had been since I'd set foot here, so I wanted to see how you all are doing and check out any awesome games I've missed.
How's the little creation program holding up? Better? Worse? Easier to use? More complicated? Either way, I'll probably still suck at doing anything with it. lol
Is Migs still around? If he is, I have a question for him. I have a few tracks of music he made and gave me to ponder over. I've been listening to them fornine six years and I've grown attached to them and I wanna know if they're still available to use at some point in the eventual future. lol
So, yeah. Hello again. I promise I'll be a good geeky gamer girl this time around. =^_^=;;
