"A Guards Tale"

So 3 years or so ago, I started a project, named "A VX Life" Thats its code name, or project name so to speak, its a game, its real name, for the moment is "A Guards Tale" And its a PRG, where you start as a character called "Caliga" A new town guard in a sleepy port town.

I'm not going to talk about the story, because if I do you will have no reason to play it when I release my new demo.

Anyway, its got a lot of unique features that I always wanted to see in other RPG games, and
contains a lot of depth.
The graphics are that of a Snes style like zeldas "A Link ot the past" but better.
The gameplay is dynamic and not soley about batteling, however you can battle or have to in most situatuions and the battle style is that of classic RPGs *Side view turn based*.

Anyway, There are a host of characters, storys, and places to explore, no lvl grinding since equipment and training dictate stats not EXp.

I'll reveal more at a later date, at the moment I'm working through making it more dynamic with some custom systems.

(This is mostly why I have been a bit lazy with my blog updates)

Episode 8: less talk more action.

With my fitness I'm stepping it up a gear, looking for a route I can run/bike that will have various urban obstacles that will train various parts of my body.

I'll scout for locations tomorrow if the weather is good and work out the route, then Set challenges, achievements and time trial runs so I can actively track progress!

Not much else to write about other than Friday, but I'll wait until then :D

Peace, you beautiful readers!

Episode 7: Rebirth

I fell out of the loop, I became depressed for a short period and did a lot of sleeping etc.

Since then I went to Amecon 2010, had an amazing time, and got a girlfriend, its a push for me since I have a bit of an issue trusting people in general and more so women, but she's amazing and I think that she is worth every bit of the risk!

:3



Its also nice to just let your feelings out for once.

Anyway, also been playing starcraft 2, and I'm lucky I have a player who is in diamond league (best league) to talk on a pro level with, I hope to start climbing the ladders soon as I finish the campaign.


bla bla bla, Phil Reminded me I had somewhat started to mistreat my blog again, so I've just got to get into the routine again!

Peace!!


*EDIT*
I made it sound like I went to Amecon and instantly got a girlfriend, this is not true, its someone I've known for a considerable amount of time / hypnotized.

A grind to the finish.

Seems I have not got to worry anymore, I will not be going to China.
I'm not as annoyed about it as I thought, I've got less to think about now.

Episode 6: The great divide.

Ok so as you've noticed in post dates, I've been doing things this week and mostly forgot or remembered too late, to fill my blog, with the lack of comments I can never tell if anyone reads these or not, and if you do I apologize for my lack of recent updates.

At this moment I'm at a huge juncture at my life.

I have the forms ready to send off to become a Retained fire fighter, I am in the process of finalizing my business, but while all this is happening, I have something burning at the back of my mind, and thats China.

You see for a while now I've been considering going to China and living with monks and learning Shaolin Kung fu. Seems rather extreme, its not just for the martial arts that I want to go, I feel time is our life, and we are a in the sea of time, as time progresses its like swimming agents a current, at the start you can handle it, maybe swim quite easily, but as the tide changes, it gets faster and I'm fully aware that I might still be considered young (26) but I know that at some point I'd like a family and waiting until anything later than 35 is a bit risky, so, I plan to do everything I wanted to before then.
I have a chance to go this September and live with monks, why September? Well another friend of mine is also going, and having someone there that can talk Chinese and somebody to anchor me to reality would be very important.
To go, Costs £3,000, I have very little, I might be able to reach that sum MAYBE if I sold everything I own, but then I'd return to nothing.
I'm not saying I have material needs but I have some sentimental ones, and thanks to my memory loss I like to remember what I can (Reefer to my other blog called memory, its in the left hand side bar).

So I WANT to work as a fire fighter but only if I cant get the cash for China, I want to set my business up properly, but only if I cant get the funds for China.
See the hold up?
I have to make some sort of educated decision, I know that getting the funds is next to unlikely, but I also believe its my destiny to go there, so I'm wondering if I have to hold back on my other projects or just go with the flow!


What do you readers think you would do?

*EDIT*
Make sure to check out the weekly comedy videos, Placed at the VERY bottom of the page :D(maybe I should place at top?

*EDIT-EDIT*
Tried the top but it displays weird, so it will always be the bottom, or maybe side bar, what do you think?

Episode 5: yesterday, today.

"I quickly made this last night, I wanted ot jazz up a graduation picture, graduated a few weeks back, its far from perfect but the tiny amount of time I spent of it was enjoyable if nothing else."

"So glad I'm out of uni, its full of some of the nicest people and some of the pavement scum, like to forget a lot of people from that place, anyway, I got what I set out to achieve and worked damn hard for it, a lot harder than some."


Ok I'm writing about yesterday, since I missed the chance to post, I'll fill you guys and gals in.

Anyway, yesterday well... Its hard to remember back then but I remember working most of the day, getting some amazing results and then during the hard work, dale returned from the shops with beer!

"Dale walking around like a left 4 dead zombie"


After Dale brough me Beer, I thought "Hmmm the Airconditioner is always pumping out very VERY cold air... beers need to be cold...hmmm"

"BEHOLD! The Air con beer cooler!"


After beer, we walked to the arcade and I watched Dale lose all his money trying, yet again, yo win yoshi, I filmed it but really can't be arsed to upload the video.

We came back, and Played Warzone2100 until 3am, one match, we were so close to being beaten, and at one point I thought that dale would /rage quit, however I showed him what determination could achieve, and we won!

Then I slept as as I laid in Bed shouted "BLOG!...shit..."
(I'm aware the above sentence makes no sense, I left it unedited because it made me laugh)

So its not super eventful since I had work, I'll update later today to get back on track, peace.
