Writing a good storyline and scenes that make much impact isn't easy.
I have been sampling other games made using RPG Maker XP (the designing software I am using).
... I sampled... not played... I have been working hard >.>
Sampling those games give me a good idea of the atrocious mistakes I can make.
For example, you often have the main characters trying to infiltrate some base or stronghold for no good reason. I mean, if you see some random stranger getting captured... it is quite illogical that you will break into someplace just because you saw him get captured...
Like..
"Who are those people?"
"They are from (so-and-so place)."
"I think we should rescue that old man from them..."
FYI, the first dungeon (more like area) of my game and the boss there is more or less done.
Towns and villages are harder to make.... So much NPC dialogue x.X.
And I solved the modem problem.. I used the wrong cable...
... So pathetic T.T

It was highly recommended for SP students to get a laptop.
...And now I'm currently typing all these text with my not-so-shiny laptop.
It's a light-weight laptop at about only 1.4 kg... Its performance seems pretty okay but the graphics aren't that awesome but its still acceptable...
It did be perfect if only the school didn't recommend Windows Vista and on top of that, install a lot of messy stuff into the laptop.
If only half of the messy stuff wasn't necessary... I would have reformatted all these and install Windows XP.
Windows XP for the win...
Why Vista? T.T
After trying, failing, googling, failing again and multiple re-trying again, I finally got the game design software installed...
But the modem installations files still can't run ._.
Thank God for public wireless services. I will try the installations again later -.-
Still, I love the new addition to my happy-set of gadgets.
Hopefully this would speed the game designing progress abit...

The new D.gray-man manga chapter is FINALLY out ^^. It took like MONTHS.
And Code Geass failed to catch my interest once again. I stopped at episode 20 this time
... sorry people...
I didn't wanted to... but I had to scrap my storyline AGAIN... but at least the new one got me further than before. Currently making sure my characters are more interesting. (personality- and background-wise)
Do you think they should have a happy ending? I suppose happy endings makes everyone but the author happy because the author has to kill more brain cells to make a sequel (most of the time xD).
Then again maybe there won't be a sequel... at least not one that is linked to the current story.
I don't know *shrugs*. It is still too early to tell

Data types are screwing my head up x.X
Gaaaaaaaah im at still at the front few chapters of those programming books and the game storyline is about 0.01% done.
At least I don't think I am scraping my storylines again.
Hopefully not...
Considering I rewrote lots of stuff... I don't think I spoilt it for anyone who heard of the previous versions of the story...
Except, the playable characters are pretty much still the same crew. With some different bits...
Ah anyway, back to the books...
