https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58249590/ - Lizard Adopt down from 30usd to 20usd

Just a weekly reminder, I'm selling these two:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58249548/ (Warrior Lion)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58249590/ (Skater Lizard)

Characters I bought over the years and never, ever used. I had ideas for them that just fizzled out. Dunno if anybody would wanna pick 'em up.
These are the original posts from where I picked them up:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31662799/ (Male, Reptile)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51101421/ (Male, Lion)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35450455/ (Male, Caracal)

The Caracal got a name and background customized for him. But I think any new buyer can just repurpose him.
Might sell them for the previous bid if there is one. Ex: Last person bidded 80$ for the Lion, so may sell him for that rather than the price I paid.

Enter for a chance and give them a watch! They're an amazing artist!

It's a pretty nice milestone for a small guy like myself!
Thank you, all of you, for 200 (now 201 as of writing this) watchers. I wanna do something to celebrate, but... I dunno. I'm not sure what to do.

A raffle? Celebratory game stream? Let me know what y'all think! For now, I should get some rest since it's 5am.

Go ahead and share with me what your resolutions are.

Mines is to put my story into writing form, and get better at drawing with a tablet.

Yeah that's right, I'm adding yet another "MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS" to your already growing list of well wishes!

While I'm still self-quarantining, my options to do stuff is incredibly limited. So I'm wondering;

What's anyone else's idea for a good time during these bad times? I could always hang with friends on discord, but I'd like to hear other options.

I appreciated the comments and they helped to make up my mind.

I went and decided to make a new profile. It won't be so hard to manage honestly, as long as I feel like I can keep things organized.

The new profile for strictly NSFW content will be. . . Sammy-MEB!!  Sammy-MEB

Again, thank you to those who commented on the previous journal!

Just putting something in place after a whole two years of nothing. I've uploaded a lot of pictures, shared comments with people and such, but I think leaving myself with the previous journal is a bit uhh. . . awkward. So maybe I can ask how everyone been doing? Hope we're all healthy, staying home, doing well enough to prevent the spread of this virus and remain safe.

I'm not sure what else to put here. It's just supposed to be a placeholder. Nothing fancy.

So some people may realize that I've been commissioning a lot of NSFW art, which may explain some of the more recent followers ─ And a hello to you, recent followers! Thank you for watching me and hope you enjoy the future content. But I think they would enjoy more of the adult and mature rated stuff? So I want to pose the question;

Should I make an account dedicated to NSFW images?

It'll repost the artist's I've commissioned, perhaps expose them a lil' more to help them get followers. Show people what I like to see in terms of other artstyles. It's just that, well, for the longest time I've tried to remain "pure". Be strict with getting SFW art, because I mainly felt uncomfortable with the idea of people viewing me as a pervert, or degenerate, or anything synonymous with those words haha. And in the recent year or so, when close friends gifted me with nsfw art, I started to become more comfortable with the idea. Or at least more publicly comfortable.

I still want to keep this profile SFW, for the purpose of the SFW crowd. But as to not mix my gallery with pornographic art, I can make a separate account.

What do you all think?

EXACTLY WHAT THE TITLE SAYS! OUR BIG BALL DROPPED!!

I'd make something about the game, but I got nothing to show for it. . . So here's a video of a Samoyed.

I love samoyeds. Samoyeds are fluffy. Samoyeds are love incarnate. Good dogs.

So for those who don't know, Satoru Iwata, the recent President of Nintendo, has passed away. Now this may spell some things, but to me it's this;

This man was one of the biggest inspirations, and one of the kindest men to grace a video game company. He deserves so much, and I believe there are many people out there who owe him, myself included. As a person who wants to be a game developer, I grew up with the games he helped to create; Kirby, Earthbound, and more. Truly a man of legend, and he'll be remembered for all the years to come. Which is why I'll be dedicating myself to putting all effort into creating my game.

No more sitting around and taking breaks, or working on my game "when I feel like it". After yesterday's news, I learned that life is too short, it is NOT to be taken for granted. Please remember this. Work hard, do what you can to achieve your dreams, even if you burn yourself out for good. Do it for people like Iwata who passed away; Do it for yourself. I personally believe we owe them that much.

Mr. Satoru Iwata, if you can hear the many people who cry for you, we will do our best. We all love you very much, and everything you've brought for us. The work you created, the inspirations. We'll take it and make something out of it. We will make you proud. Good night, Iwata, and as the ending credits of Earthbound say;

"I miss you".

Good Evening/Morning/Afternoon/Night or whatever time you happen to be reading this. This will be my very first entry within FA, and I'd like for it to be focused on what this profile will be about, as well as a little of what I plan on for the next few coming years. I'll start by answering myself questions so YOU don't have to, but feel free to toss one in the comments that you think, uh, you know. . . Something I haven't covered below. Okay, here I go!

Who are you?

I'm just a dreamer. A young man who spent a majority of his life playing videogames, dedicating himself to learning the structures of them, and imagining what I can do with what I've learned. I know about Directors and Graphic Artists, certain Composers and Story Board Creators, all from familiarizing myself with the videogame community and its contributors. In other words; I'm a gamer, just like some of you. Or most of you, even! The gaming community has been growing stronger than it ever has been, and watching it expand globally makes me a very happy man!

What have you done so far?

Absolutely nothing! Haha! Hah. . . hehe. . . Yeah, I've done nothing. . . YET! You see some of the pictures in my gallery? This is a start to what I must do. And that is to gather visual designs from artists that I have commissioned in order to provide a "taste" of what is to come sometime in the future. These are characters I have created, discussed with the artists, and was helped from a friend who was kind enough to gift me the opportunity to afford these. So a huge thank you to my good friend, You know who you are! (He's left FA recently for personal reasons which I refuse to touch upon.) But he knows who he is! And I love him dearly.

How much of the game is complete?

But yes, character designs are in the works. Musical stuff is far from starting because I'm waiting for a friend who is currently completing a Music Major in college. As for the game itself? I say it's still in the starting phase. I'm new to RPGMaker, slowly getting the hang of it, and I intend to use many shortcuts, tweaks, improvements to the coding, in order to create a unique game. But story script? All figured out. Friends and I are just revising.

So what IS this game?

Mortalis Et Bestia! It's, um, it's latin. For Man and Beast? Oh, you can already smell the diversity in species that'll take place as the cast. Yes, yes, humans and anthros gather together to fight the forces of evil. But I like to express it extends far deeper than a simple plot on first glance. I want this story to touch on the aspects of humanity and its influence to the world and people. Various concepts we can relate to, these deep meanings ripped from our subconscious and brought forth into visual form. I'm talking full on emotional stuff. Things that make us look at the game and say, "Hmm yeah, that makes total sense!" The conflicts of Love and War, the perspectives of Life and Death, the consequences of Virtue and Sin. People who not only fight for the rights of others, but for what they personally believe is right themselves. May they be good or evil? Benevolent or malevolent intentions? Basically the concept that there is always a balance between two opposing factors, and how it affects us-- Physically and psychologically.

What will be the genre?

Roleplaying-Game. Along the lines of Final Fantasy, Tales, Shin Megami Tensei, and many others that have inspired myself and friends. Turn base or real time combat is yet to be determined. It depends on what kind of battle system I can stick with. Until it is settled, I'd like to keep people updated on it.

You say a friend helped pay for the artwork. Where's your income?

This is the biggest issue; I don't have an income. I'm doing my best to grab a job here in NYC and it ain't easy for some reason. I felt awful asking my friend to help me pay for art when he's already done so much for me. So once I get a job, I plan on saving a lot to help provide cost on getting more concept art, as well as other things that may be needed.

Is there anything we can do to help?

I've been nice this far, but I must be blunt about this; No. I'm not opening up some patreon, or kickstarter, or any donation site. I have nothing to show for that what people donate will actually be used, or at least not enough. I'd rather set up a base first, get my priorities straight, have everything settled, then maybe I'll see if I can set something up if I must. But has the thought crossed my mind? Hell yes! Check out that Shenmue 3 kickstarter. Funded the 2 million stretch in less than 12 hours and still going strong. Sometimes I think it'd be awesome for Mortalis Et Bestia to receive the same love and treatment. But we'll wait and see.

How long do you believe development will be?

I can't imagine how far I am to getting all the concept art and music done. And I need to buckle down and start working on the game's assets first. Complete that, write up a storyboard, then I'll have something done. It feels like a 50% portion to do all on my own, with the other 50% being the creative talent of artists and music makers. I'll have something to show for probably by the end of the year, or at least by the end of winter February 2016. I'm giving myself that time frame.

Anything else. . .

What's your favorite cookie?

Gingerbread. I love gingerbread cookies, especially during Christmas. They are the bomb.
