[VX Ace] The Laughing Isles

[slacker2114]

I'm picturing him sitting around in his drawers, surrounded by empty pizza boxes, unshaven and unwashed, still jamming Borderlands 2.

 

[shadowscurse1]

I am a bit worried myself and I hope it's just him having a great time playing all the video games he desires. Hopefully he didn't get sick, or have an accident, or anything of that nature.

 

[mxx15]

It's that time of year where you get the flu from where I'm from. Alot of people are getting sick.

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

Damn guys. I mean, I come back and see some posts that you're worried about me? The feels I'm feeling now. :cry

 

[buttontickler05]

Holy crap!! Anime! I seriously thought something catastrophically bad had happened to you! Worst thing about it is that no one would be able to say if that was the case since no one came forward to say that you were alright this whole time.

Why haven't you made any posts for the past several months? Last time I spoke with you was when Outlands 2 had just been released. I think you should fill us in on what's been going on, man.

 

[542572908]

New game!Yeah!!🙂

You think you got feels now, wait until you get the feels from us kicking your ass for making us worry.

Oh, and welcome back. :stickout

Holy crap!! Super snake! Is that you? :lol Oh me oh my it has indeed been a long time! No good sir, I am alive and well. It's a sad truth, however, that when someone who talks a lot on one of these tickle forums suddenly vanishes, it normally ends with the community finding out they're deceased from a loved one.

Ah, but it was indeed life that tried to screw me over. Oh so much has happened. The biggest issue has been me moving, and having no internet for a while. Then there's my job that has gone absolutely CRAZY on me with insane hours that left me with nothing short of "eat, sleep, work". 14 hour day on one of them, lemme tell you how much fun THAT is getting home at 6 in the morning. That's calmed down somewhat, thank goodness. Except now the studio I work for is changing locations, so now that's getting all hectic again.

Hasn't been all bad. Had some interesting things. Got a girlfriend for a little while and we dated a few months; I eventually broke it off because she had some issues that made it too difficult on me. Meanwhile, I've gotten more friends (offline) and even had one introduce me to the wonderful world of D&D. So now I've joined a campaign with her and her boyfriend (whom is our current Dungeon Master). It's quite fun.

Ahhhh Borderlands 2. I barely got far in that at all before the shit hit the fan. I haven't touched it since. Haven't touched most games since. I'm praying I'll remedy that shortly. :stickout

Still, it was quite wrong of me to vanish like that without letting everyone know. Next time something like this happens, I'll definitely let you guys know before-hand.

New game!Yeah!!🙂

Would be an old DEMO, that would soon be a game by now, if I'd had time. I'm quite peeved at myself that Screamer's "A Witch's Laugh" finished before my demo was even released. But yes, you'll definitely be getting a new game.

You think you got feels now, wait until you get the feels from us kicking your ass for making us worry.

Oh, and welcome back. :stickout

LMAO! I'm not quite sure what you're feeling right now. Oh, you're punching. Are these happy punches?

Btw:

I'm picturing him sitting around in his drawers, surrounded by empty pizza boxes, unshaven and unwashed, still jamming Borderlands 2.

Mayhaps we should change your screen name to STALKER. Thanks to you, I am now going to leave all my blinds shut 24/7.
:lol Nah, it wasn't anywhere that bad. I've got to play that again sometime soon. Haven't even downloaded the Mechromancer.

But it is good to be back. I need you guys to fill me in a little on anything I've missed.

I'm pleasantly surprised mate. Though I'm sorry to hear that some transitioning has been rough for you, I'm glad to see that our worries of your absence were unfounded.

Well, CartoonViewer, aside from Screamer finishing AWL and IMMEDEATELY starting work on Tickle Gear Solid, Xtreme released chapter 1 for Chaos Tower and is working on the next chapter, maybe just finshing the whole game and releasing the rest of it in one shot. Other than that you'll have to look for yourself.

In other-than-tickling game news, SimCity is about to be released this Tuesday and i'm very much getting it. I've been a big fan of the Sim City franchise since Sim City 2000.

Anyway, it's great to know that you're still with us and The Laughing Isles is still on it's way. There would have been a lot of people on the site that would have been sad to see Bezzy never appear again.

Speaking of Bezzy.....I do believe I spy a set of headphones on one of the characters in that short sequence you posted. Hmm.....:shifty:

Seconded.

Nice AW is alive. Good to see it was nothing to bad that happened. Welcome back.

How to know you're loved: People will creepily have rituals in your name 😛

Ah, but yes, I am quite alive good Reogen! I am happy to see you again, too, my friend. Alive, well, and still loving Sona.

Well LOOK who it is! The stork man himself! 😀 Well, I think me coming on the forums is always a surprise. People are wondering if I'll finally crack and go insane. Then my messages will be like this - khuHLEAFkljasdkj;kjbLHKLHJGLVBG YGVFUGYUHBHglb yhy bh agrhujikburebhjgbhjyuk hiuiujmn tfrjnugmriuhyerhuier

----^ That means "I saw a rainbow and it was magical" in Crackpot. I've still got a job to do and more. I am not about to just disappear.

Hahaha ^_^ Ah yes, I'm so glad you remembered my nickname. Well, I played AWL... Really gotta give my critical review on it all. Hmm... yea... And I see he is ALREADY making another game. Which is...hmm... yea... Looks like a good concept though.

I've also played Chaos Tower 1. Gotta say it aint too bad. Tickle scenes are decent, and I like the reward system he has (truthfully, the tickle scenes are the only reward we really need 😀). I'll be curious to see the next installment, or if it's one fell swoop, the rest of the game. I'm having second thoughts on if I'll do a full game at this point or break it up into 3rds(or whatevers) and release "Chapters", aka "You've reached the end of the game currently".

I also saw Lurker updated his game, but I haven't had a chance yet to play it with the improvements he made. I'm hoping to come out fully satisfied this time; though I'll still praise him on the absolutely PHENOMENAL writing he did. Absolutely love the characters' personalities and the tickle scenes are just so delicious. Particularly towards end-game.

As to new games, you can keep your SimCity. The franchise is great, but last I heard, they did the terribad 24/7 Online Required to Play that Blizz did with Crapoblo 3. I'll never buy that game, sadly. Nor any other Blizz product. That is just a terrible system that causes a lot more problems then if you just kept it a Single Player/Multiplayer Optional thing. I'm waiting now for Summer when RUNE FACTORY 4 COMES OUT (weeee!)

Yes indeed! I've at least been able to work on SOME of TLI, and brought a significant amount of improvements on how I wanted it to be. With things getting back up to speed, I'm working on it right now to try and finish some of the custom art I want in the game. You guys are definitely going to get a new game from me. I've even got a fun surprise for everyone inside the demo. Mwaha- MWAHAHAHA!

Bezzy is probably going to be to me what Cali is to Chesire. She is "the main". But we'll see, people can change their opinions any time. I really enjoyed people doing the Ask Bezzy things, and will probably continue that again when I have time. As to your spying eyes, you are correct! I said she'd return (though I didn' plan for it to be like this) and she'd have some "surprises" with her. She's also gotten a minor update to her design, because there were some elements I didn't like with her old one.

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

Thank goodness you're alive! xD Don't scare us all like that :stickout

Why yes indeed, my tiny turtle friend! Still alive, shockingly! I promise not to give everyone the scares again. If I have to go away again, I'll be sure to type out my SOS before I'm whisked away into "de land of yewnicawns and fayrees". :stickout I'm glad to see you still running around on these forums.

Nice AW is alive. Good to see it was nothing to bad that happened. Welcome back.

And Mister Dae too! I'd have been surprised if you weren't here - you're kindof the Tickle Game forum's addict; foaming at the mouth while you wait for these things. The anti-spoiler. The "Oh god WHY ISN'T IT OUT YET!?" guy. Every good game needs at least one of you to keep pushing the designers to do their best.


(Not like the rest of you guys aren't supportive lol)

 

[Reogen]

Ah, but yes, I am quite alive good Reogen! I am happy to see you again, too, my friend. Alive, well, and still loving Sona.

Can't just up and leave her! Or life for that matter.

Aah, but enough obsessive ramblings. Nice to know other TT'ers are looking forward to Rune factory! But its on 3DS...

FRIENDCODE! NOW!

Why thank you. 🙂 It still remains to be seen whether it'll be in parts or full game because I got a lot of level design done while waiting for artwork. In fact all the maps are done. But concerning your game, if you want to get this released ASAP while still having breaks in between, i'd say split it into parts and keep building with each part. It's worked with the Japanese community anyway.

Course not. Who could? Lol

Of course! I LOVE Rune Factory. Actually...I just recently bought a 3DS after waiting so long. It's because of RF 4 coming to 3DS too; it's probably the sole reason I bought one.

A-AH! Friendcode! Um...Yes! I've not done one of these before I don't think...At least not from this handheld.

L-let's see...Friendcode...Friendcode...It's gotta be in here somewhere...

Eto...Etooo...

Ah! Here we go. 4141-2184-5970.

Good to see you back, AnimeWatcher.

Well if it isn't my old arch-nemesis, Lurk(a)! :lol

I keed, I keed. How goes it? Makes me happy you came out of lurking to welcome me back. You found any more gems in "Jap Tickle RPG Land" after my "mysterious" disappearance? I could always use another game or two; particularly since the games I enjoyed so much haven't been updated in a while (because the creators are dragging their feet).

I thought like you once. Then I kept adding shit to my maps. Then more maps. Then more shit. Now I've got a mountain of shit to deal with. 😛
I actually feel like I'm leaning towards splitting it up, which is ironic because I was very vocal at the start about releasing the game as one. It was advice from other makers on RPG Maker forums, saying that it's better to release it all as one. And they're right in some regards, since if you ever go back and change anything it can easily screw up someone's saves.

Yet, these guys(and gals; quite a few female makers it seems) also tend to release piss-ant 15 minute games, or games that heavily utilize RPG Maker core resources which doesn't require nearly as much work. So, don't know how valuable their words were now that I think about it. But you're quite right about how it's been successful (though I use that term lightly right now) in the Jap tickling community. As I mentioned above, however, a game that is split NEEDS to be completed...and the Jap makers aren't in a rush at all it seems.

I've had mine for about 3 weeks now, actually ;p Buddies IRL kept playing around on them and said screw it I'm getting one!

So WAY too happy when Rune Factory 4 was slated for an English release. Started with 3 and loved the crap out of it. I want to play the rest, but I keep hearing previous installments have a stickier combat, something 3 really touched up on.

Oh, and mines 5000-2208-1378. Might also wanna think about giving Monster Hunter a try, when it hits.

 

[shadowscurse1]

I can add you both as well if you don't mind. Ive had the 3DS for maybe a month at most :lol Friend Code: 0619-3508-4710 xD

 

[LurkLurkLurk]

Well if it isn't my old arch-nemesis, Lurk(a)! :lol

Your return merits it. Fuel the board with your enthusiasm and energy reserves. 😛

No clue. I realized I play these games for the writing. GoG, LoL, CC+, and MTD2 had good writing. Unless I explicitly hear good things about scenes from other games, I'm going to just pass on them.

Practically the same amount of time I've had mine. :lol I waited a long time. A long, long time. Unfortunately, I'm one of the few people in my group that own one, and one of my buds just got his stolen (because he brought it into work and left it in his easily accessible locker...why...wwhhhyyyy - intelligence would say never EVER do that).

My first Rune Factory was Rune Factory Frontier. I still haven't beaten that game, or had Raguna marry someone, because I love all the girls' character designs. The fact it was so bloody long and hard to get where I am in the game too, and that I only get one save, hasn't helped. Then I bought RF 2 and was horribly disappointed. I actually stopped a day after playing it. Then came RF 3...Yes...Yes yes yes. It beat out Frontier and I fell in absolute love immediately with Pia. Then came Tides of Destiny and that was fun gameplay wise, but the girls and relationships were lacking compared to previous. Even the farming aspect took a hard hit. But I still loved running around with 3 monsters that I chose; was a blast fighting shit.

I might indeed give Monster Hunter a try. I've only got 2 games for the 3DS so far: Code of Princess (super short game, but again - I love the characters. Probably one of the few games I enjoy the guy along with all the lovely ladies, since he has a unique design, great comic relief, and actually kicked arse in fights). And Harvest Moon: A New Beginning. Which is...not...Rune Factory. At all. Kindof boring. Hella boring infact. Merr... I should go get Fire Emblem or something.

I can add you both as well if you don't mind. Ive had the 3DS for maybe a month at most :lol Friend Code: 0619-3508-4710 xD

Lol! Looks like each of us just recently got our 3DS. That's just too weird :lol
Alright! I'll add both of you and we can start having fun!

Your return merits it. Fuel the board with your enthusiasm and energy reserves. 😛

Daaaaawwww! You can (somewhat) count on me! I don't wanna see this board get all quiet and hush hush. I liked seeing people jump up, shout out, and have fun. It felt like we were getting a lot of people from the shadows to come out and talk before.

Writing is a key thing with me too. It's not just the tickle scenes, I like a good story to go with each. Dialogue, interaction, lead up, it all needs to be done and done at LEAST decently. I'm concentrating on writing in my game, but damn if I feel like I'm putting too much in. So I'll be judging people's responses with the Demo and see if I should cut stuff as well as how I'll do the rest of the game.


Speaking of my game. Got a lot done right now, so I'll probably post something later this week to grab everyone's attention again. Probably another heroine page, since people really wanted to know who the datable monster girls were. Gotta start getting people back into the groove and excitement of it all. The Demo's completion is getting closer and closer to finishing.

Be wary, recall I'm a Bioware fan.
I tend to Like unnecessarily extensive world/character building. 😀
