Hello Forum!

[AnotherMage]

Uh, hello! Just another mage, nothing more, nothing less. I have no idea what to talk about, so I suppose I'll just talk about myself, as conceited as that feels >.>.


I've been playing video games my whole life, and my favorite genre is definitely RPGs. (You could probably infer that though...). I have a ton of favorite series, from Mother, Tales of, Etrian Odyssey, the list goes on.


Ever since I was little, I loved writing stories. (Shame I don't have my old hard drive from way back when, just to look at my pitiful ten year old stories.) As of the last few years, I've discovered that it was indeed possible to make my own games...so put two and two together, and you get some person joining an RPG Maker forum.


Although I haven't bought RPG Maker MV yet (tried the demo a few months ago, got addicted to it), I plan to soon and eventually get my hands dirty on some actual development. I have a knack for knowing what constitutes as good gameplay, and the two people I've told my stories to said they were good. But I won't know for certain until I actually start!


I have a big interest in music composition, and hope to eventually be skilled enough to make my own OSTs. Fun fact: I know more Japanese music composers than western singers and artists. (Motoi Sakuraba, Arata Iiyoshi, and Yuzo Koshiro are among my favorites.)


As for sprite art...I'm learning. Not saying I'm good, but I'm learning. This guy (from a project I'm kind of working on) is probably my proudest achievement regarding art:





Internet wise, I've never actually joined a forum type community before. (Well, once.) So I'm naturally a bit more quiet than others I suppose. I mean, writing about myself is already awkward!


Anyways, I don't know what else to talk about. Hope I didn't bore you! Guess I'm off to go look at people's projects. (^.^)/

Welcome!


I hope you share your stories, I think my favorite aspect of gaming is the unfolding of various plots and imaginings.

Another mage? C'mon guys, we needs some heals, here!


All kidding aside, welcome. I like the little sprite there. The face says to me "Uh. I am not touching that. Nope." Keep it up, and you'll get better with time (unlike impatient people like me).

Except Kloe. Kloe is scary. She's a ghost.

Welcome to the group!

Another Mage eh? What is your specialty? Mine is transmogrification and Elemental summoning and manipulation. See? 

   

 

[AnotherMage]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Already glad I decided to pipe up, haha!


As for my specialty?


...


Fireballs? Is that a category?


(Jokes aside, I'm rather boring and prefer the good old Ice 2 spell ).

 

[Cadh20000]

Lol, my preferred combat spell in the MMORPG "Mabinogi" would be the "Intermediate" classed spell "Thunder", up to 5 charges per cast, hits for immediate damage followed by 1 lightning strike from the sky for each charge you gave it, only drawback is that if the target gets knocked back before the lightning strikes finish any that would have hit after the knock-back occurs simply miss entirely... DX. Ever played the game? It is loosely based on Celtic mythology rather than the more traditional European, Chinese, or Japanese myths, though as more and more updates and events occur that becomes less apparent.

 

[AnotherMage]

Haven't heard of Mabinogi before, but after looking at it, it looks pretty interesting. I may give it a shot one day, haven't played a MMORPG in a while either. As for my favorite spell, it would hands down be Indignation in any "Tales of" game. It's a lightning elemental spell that deals tons of damage. Specific reason why? Not really, other than having one of the coolest animations in some games. (Destiny PS2, Abyss, Vesperia versions specifically.)
