That’s fine. I expected that reaction. I wish there was a way to prove it. I didn’t think to keep anything. I just wanted as much distance as possible.

Does somebody have the "Goon Projects" picture of Johnny holding a massive tankard and the basecap ninja from Demon Rush holding two foxtail saws, and they're doing a big booty bump. tia

I still love the pic with Johnny falling from the exploding zeppelin along with the guy with an old timey camera.

Zybourne Clock feels like some weird IRL case of a video game or piece of media you'd see as in-universe fiction in something.

They sold like 40 or 50 prints of the Johnny Fiveaces art when the auction was going on & im so glad I own one. Maybe even fewer, the store has 58 sales and some are just a playing card with Johnny's signature.

He watches over my gaming and working from home :clint:

Oh Christ, lord knows what I was thinking back then. It was a very long time ago, almost half my lifetime. I couldn’t really tell you what me or the other people were thinking about. I had disorganized ideas, half imagined one dimensional characters, a plot twist that everyone would have seen coming (all the party members die in a WoB/WoR type mid game world changing event), a few character concepts that were actually competent, and a rough rough outline for battle mechanics. We sort of had an aesthetic direction, a couple of concepts and more enthusiasm than experience. Recipe for disaster.

I wish I could tell you more about what we had planned, but it really wasn’t much of anything by the time I had left.

So you wanted to remake Final Fantasy VI. There are worse ambitions.

And hell, yeah, maybe it all crashed and burned for you, but at least you tried. Everyone starts somewhere. Sometimes it does go somewhere. Toby Fox, who oversaw the creation of the popular indy games Undertale and Deltarune, first caught some notice via a rom hack of Earthbound he did, the "Halloween Hack", which was considered very impressive for its time but in retrospect is full of clear immature decisions and cringe (he did make it in his mid teens) alongside the potential he developed into his own IPs.

And heck, Zybourne Clock's failure is still about a thousand times better than what ended up happening to CWC.
