fangame Verdant Tales: Symphonic Horizon
Dylanrockin replied to Dylanrockin's topic in Fan-game Exposé
Actually, I have and a lot of them in fact. The fact of the matter is, if you know anything about fan-manga's, is that they are sold all the time. Literally. Go on Ebay or any manga-artist's website and you'll find tons of fan works being sold. The caveat there is that they aren't being mass-produced, whereas these have been individually published and printed to be sold by me and me alone. No re-seller involved. Also, there isn't enough being sold to where Game Freak has given me a Cease and Desist. And if you're curious, I sold well over 250, thanks to conventions and my University supporting my project. -
I am willing to accept questions and answer them, in relation to anything at the moment. Feel free to ask me some in message or comment if you'd like. I was just in a sudden mood to do Q&A.

If anyone is curious as to why I have been gone for such a long time, the answer is this: lots of things changed in my personal life and I've been so not in the mood for internet negativity and cynicism that I've been trying my best to avoid it at all possible. I was hospitalized for suicidal ideation, became medicated, and now am better, but at the moment I've just been working on fixing who I am intrinsically and improving my personal life. I've sought religious faith to help fill a gap in my life, just so I have something to believe in. Another thing is that I've been focusing heavily on my acting, since its part of my scholarship for school, so I've been doing tons of shows lately and been focusing heavily on that. I do plan on working on my game, possibly more in the summer, but right now I've had a lot on my plate. Lastly, the entirety of Nebraska has been flooded and badly. The town that I live in is one of few sanctuaries left. Meanwhile most of the state is flooded under several feet of water. At the moment I've been volunteering and helping out the community the best that I can.
But, for those of you who are interested, I am selling my manga right now for $15 dollars, and if anyone is interested, feel free to let me know.

My entire state is underwater and the only town, the one that I live in, remains only as an island. The chaos here is astronomical.

Good news, everyone!
My manga has finally been published and have received, from my publisher, 50 copies to be sold, locally in Fremont, Nebraska. If there is anyone interested in ordering a copy who lives outside of the Fremont area, shipping prices will vary and will take a few days to arrive.
Very soon, ordering pages will open on Keikokup's website for more copies that are not in my current possession. In the coming months, we plan on having our publisher release quite a lot more, but not for the purpose of selling locally as I will be at many conventions, across America, over the coming months, and year, selling these and promoting my upcoming, second manga.
Anywho, per copy will be $14.99, and if there are people who want it that are not local to Fremont shipping will be factored on top of that.
My paypal is dylanrockin@gmail.com and make sure you tell me your name and address in order to be shipping a copy. Also, shipping will also be factored in, after the 14.99 price.

Hey, guys! I'm doing a thing for a demo-reel for some upcoming videos to help promote the game! IF and that's a big "IF" any of you are aspiring to do or even want to find an outlet to practice voice acting, then feel free to sign up and try out for some auditions! The casting call for them are here! However, this is only for a demo reel and the chances of this going full-scale are slim and will probably be only reserved for the in-game skits:

I have a "real-talk" kind of question here. How many of you have been falling out of playing video games, due to work/school/personal life stuff/hobbies/activities? Because I have not played any video games since this summer and haven't felt the want or need to play games as much as I used to.
-

If anything as I've gotten older (turning 30 in January), I feel my desire to play video games growing. I work a full time job, own a house, am married and have a family, but video game are still my biggest hobby. Sure I go fishing or hiking or something during the week, but I'll still always gravitate to my games. Games are just my way to unwind and experience stories and other worlds that I don't get to normally.
It's also a great way to keep me in touch with my friends! We bond over our love for gaming and when we all hang out that's where conversations usually turn.

Similarly, even tho i'm 30, i'm still gaming strong, although due to my different lifestyle i have diferent ways of doing it.
Some years ago, i would be melting my brains off 10 hours per day gaming on the PC.
But now i have to cope with playing games on mobile (real games, like chrono trigger, final fantasy, various pokemon romhacks, golden sun. not toilet garbage like candy crush) during work, and invest my free time at home playing PC games (pokemon fangames tend to be many of those recently, because PC is getting too old for some of the new fancy stuff)
It's not a bad balance. I am thankful i have it better than most other working people. Some days are busier than others of course, but thats to be expected.

So. I went to church for the first time in 16 years. It was super intimidating going back.

October is the month! Get yo selves ready for Volume I of my manga, based off of my game! Finalizing pages and will soon have screentones for these final pages! Afterwards is coloring the cover and back cover and adding in advertisements for my next manga that I will be working on!
-
So, here is a preview and some "stage directions" for this page of the manga, which is one of the final 3 pages to conclude Volume 1 of my manga series. In sketched form, rather than inked and screen toned form.

SO, before I end up showering you all with news about my game I am going to gif ur faces with the Tower of Sal-- I mean Tower of Guidance stuff! Essentially, within the inner-sanctum of the Tower of Guidance there are 3 levels that you must traverse, each with their own Pokemon boss fight that you must face. And spoiler warning they're not easy fights, with the last fight being against Ashera/Rayquaza and then she joins your party! The reason why this took so damn long to make in response as an update to my game, is because... well, making the animated background was a metric pain in the ass and the Tower of Guidance is one of the most difficult areas in the game for me to make, bar... anything else I've done with my game. Essentially the tower of Guidance's inner 3 sanctums was inspired by the Tower of Salvation's battle background, which you can see in my non-commentary playthrough of Tales of Symphonia: -
Welp, today I am officially 23 and feeling old af. The next time someone calls me "sir" is when I jump off a bridge. XD Also, this feeling when your friend makes an amazing render of a scene from my game as a birthday present ;A;

For those of you wondering, the Symphonic Horizon manga is almost finished! We are now finalizing the last 6 pages and after that we will begin printing and publishing the books!

So. I am now A+, Network+ and Server+ certified. So, if any of you want to uhhhh... hire me as a Sys. Admin I... uhhh, you know... wouldn't mind doing so, I mean *ahem* hire me *ahem*
In other news: my livestreams will now only be available as unlisted, because of the... recent news as to what happened this week. ALSO, my manga will be published... wait for it... 1 month from now! There will be a physical and-or eBook version for those who are going to purchase it!
Rough sketches, because I cannot show toned previews:
