I bet after all the text I overloaded everyone with, you’ll all be thrilled to see some more pictures. I don’t need to say anything about the last day, do I? God, I hope not. It’s been eventful. But things are all good now. I think. The fun part is, I can now say safely [...]

This is it folks, the promised March 14th update in celebration of the beginning of my 21st year of life. Hooray! Tales of Phantasia: Present, Past, and Future So here’s what you need to know. This script IS complete through the end of the game. But it is NOT the final product. I ran short [...]

I tell you, I come back from a skiing vacation and I find several new comments on my blog.  People are actually interested.  This is great!  I’m really pumped about that, thanks guys.  So as a result, I’ll share a little of my current thinking. I’m about 90% done with what I want to post [...]
