How not to make a good impression:quote:Living her whole life in the small town of Raven, Ohio, Nevaeh has always been fascinated by the supernatural through her mother's stories of vampires, angels and the war between them. However, her own feelings of right and wrong, good and evil, love and hate are thrown into a quandary when she meets and falls in love with Ian. And what about her father's mysterious disappearance two-years-prior? And why can't Nevaeh stop thinking about the vampire Lukas Blazer from her mother's stories? Get to know me. I'm simply a 30-year-old woman who loves to write. It is my sanctuary, my passion, my truth. No matter what life has thrown at me, writing has been the most constant form of therapy. My life has never been anything less than a struggle suffering from medical conditions that most doctors don’t have a lot of experience with. At the age of 14-years-old I was placed in a plastic and metal back brace that went from my shoulders to my buttocks with two medal bars that wrapped around my neck. Needless to say wearing this thing to school, high school no less, every day was horrific. On a daily basis I was tormented and desperate to find an escape; that’s where writing became my escape. I could write a story and magically transport myself into a different world, a different body and I was safe from the torment. This became my passion, the one thing I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to give this gift to others. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism and have been writing practically my entire life. I used to write for the college newspaper before it was discontinued my senior years. I have written freelance for sites such as, phatguru.com and celebritycafe.com . In 2009 I created my own magazine called, The Conzine, a magazine that focused on who celebrities were behind the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. In September 2010 the publisher of Fan Quarterly got wind of The Conzine and purchased the content rights for a mutually agreed upon price. I have hundreds of published articles on various websites and online news organizations and have also created a fairly successful blog entitled, “Rose Are Red Violets Are Blue.” I began writing, “Midnight to Sunrise,” in August when the idea just kind of burrowed its way from my brain and onto the computer screen. I have always loved vampire romance stories but always felt they lacked originality. I believed they all followed the lore far too heavily. I wanted to create something that wasn’t your typical vampire vs. werewolf story. I wanted to write a book that not only I would enjoy reading but that might give people a new way to envision vampires. Of course when I pictured writing a book I never pictured turning it into a trilogy. However, this series needs far more than one book to complete. I believe it will take readers on a journey through worlds they always pictured but knew they could never go and after all isn't that what books are supposed to be? It's a vampire thing! It's a topic that has been done, redone and then possibly overdone however, we just can't stop our fascination with vampires. Then again, they really are quite fascinating as is the evolution of the modern day vampire. Originally vampires weren't these sexy, gorgeous men and women that movies, books and television portray them as. They were vile, vicious disgusting creatures who sucked the life out of sleeping victims during the night. Actually most of the older lore described vampires as bats, definitely not your 2013 Damon Salvatore. If books like, "The Vampire Diaries," described Damon and Stefan Salvatore as a tiny creatures with fangs who turned into a grotesque bald men, let's be honest we wouldn't flock to our television sets every Thursday night. Modern day vampires have made a dramatic change from what they once were (and I am grateful for this). Now they are described as sensational, irresistible human-like beings who far surpass any power we could begin to imagine. What's more is, the vampires these days are extremely sexy, for the most part. Print my lovely webcomic Watch the video. Seriously. I don't know what's worse. The first 2 minutes or the last 7.

Accordion Man posted:Hey guys do you want a sequel to the Nintendo horror video game Eternal Darkness? Well you're in luck because the original developer is trying to make a spiritual successor. They may have already fleeced a major publisher to help fund the gameplay video for it and also lost millions in a frivolous lawsuit they started last year, but don't worry guys they totally want to make a great game and not just steal your money. That's why they completely bypassed Kickstarter and Indiegogo and made the crowdfunding campaign on their own site, because they want to interact with you the gamer directly. You forgot the part where they we re court ordered to destroy remaining inventory and IP related to Too Human after the lawsuit because of copyright infringement. Although this isn't SK making it, that company is dead. I'm not entirely sure of the relationship that Precursor has with SK other than Dyack.

Xandu posted:I don't understand, what do they mean by episodes? Exactly what it sounds like. There has been a push in recent years to break up games into episodic content. Its a cheaper way to expand a series than it is to make full blown sequels. Telltale tends to do this a lot with their adventure games, there is an overarching metaplot for the season that connects the smaller plots of individual episodes together. It would actually not be all that horrible for the original ED, the game is structured to make it work. Each episode would have been exploring the mansion and beginning the next chapter of the game. It really ends up being a bit of a mixed bag, it is definitely a cash grab for devs. However, it could lead to a longer experience than might normally be found in a straight up sequel.

They destroyed extra copies of ET because they made more copies than systems in existence. They destroyed Too Human because of a court ordered cease and desist. They're not really anything similar.

JDM3 posted:I'm not going to bother looking, but is there a reason I need THIS kludged together thing that prints on proprietary, expensive, unreliable paper as opposed to this little gem that is normally $29 and occasionally on sale for much less? Thermal paper is hardly proprietary. Its also a ton cheaper than toner. Even if you buy the dudes marked up paper, he was selling it for like two or three bucks a roll. Toner can easily run ten times that. You would have a lower install cost, but probably a higher cost in support. Otherwise its a piece of poo poo that exists to solve a nonexistent problem in a overcomplicated manner. Aka bitcoins.

Mercury Hat posted:There's also a free, open-source program called Ren'Py that not only makes it easy to make your game, but it requires no licensing fee or anything to sell your final product. It's a zero-cost start-up if you're doing the assets yourself, sort of like why there were so many sprite webcomics back in the day. Write a bunch of dialogue, paste a character into the scene, add some music and cherry blossoms, then you have the next big hit. Whatever happened to that creepy anime VN kick starter? DNA Extreme or something?

Nothing in the initial pitch mentioned this wrinkle. But the "Give us some money to prototype, and then we'll get picked up by a real investor" strategy ended up working for the OUYA.

The very first corner space states, Divide Your Game Parts. What made that work, are five No/Rest circles added to select spaces. They take away the choice, of which game-piece to move. Before I adding those circles, catch-22's would happen. A different space states, Exchange Your Bank of Feathers. It allows a player to come from behind at anytime I'm sold.

Not really, most of them are being run by community development centers, neighborhood improvement organizers, or the city in question. There are some that are being run by a coalition of businesses, but it doesn't appear that most of those are even going to reserve the space for their customers.
