AD3, p2

I lean in over the arm rest of the Captain’s chair. An impressively dry orange planet swallows the entire viewscreen, but my eyes can't gaze away from Zoe. I knew Zoe pre-launch. She's taken. She's from my apartment complex... I saved her cat once, and we've been acquaintances ever since.

She brought me coffee and company. There's no drink like coffee. It's not the unique taste that gets me. It's dark... hot... it's isolating. It makes you sit down and take in the galaxy for a moment. A hundred years into the galactic hub, and the aliens that introduce faster than light travel can't come up with anything better than coffee. Or tea.

Zoe- So why aren’t you at the party tonight?
Commander- I pulled the short straw on duty. It’s fine, I was never much into parties. I prefer something smaller, with less people, where everyone knows each other. I’d rather get into an intelligent conversation.
Zoe looks away. I can tell she’s blocking me. She must not have many guy friends.
Zoe- So what do you think they’re doing in there?
Commander- The usual. Drinking, arm wrestling, dick measuring. You’re worried about Jake aren’t you?
Zoe- Is it that obvious? I’m trying to give him his space but it’s difficult.
Commander- Don’t worry about it, I think the only woman in that party is an android. Even if she’s got a self-cleaning semen destroyer, do you really think Jake would touch that thing after it’s been passed around?
Zoe- Yes. He’s quite horny.
Commander- Would it hurt you if he did?
Zoe- No. Well, it makes me feel… inadequate.
Commander- You’re more worried that he’s with someone else.
An urgent onscreen notification pops up on the viewscreen.
Cadet Murphy- Hey! We’ve got a situation here in the Mess Hall! The hell is that?!
Captain- Medical emergency in the mess hall! We have alien contact! Security details on the double!
Zoe- Come on! Jack’s in there!
Commander- They’re aliens. They’re probably trying to overtake the station. We need to stay here on the bridge.
Zoe- But Jack!...
I unstrap my holster and hand her my sidearm.
Commander- Just take it and go, I can find another. I'm staying here.

So I'm going for a cyberpunk/90's kid feel here, but the leather jacket isn't showing up so well on paper. That's how I want a lot of characters to look. No uniforms, no unity. I want these characters to look like they came from 9 different sci-fi shows.

Hey guys. I guess there's no harm in keeping this more personal, you guys seem to care about me a lot.

I just got out of a 5 and a half year relationship. And yeah, it really really does mean I have a lot of time to direct my attention to this game now. Except today though, I'm going out on two different dates. So wish me luck! Don't worry about me, I have taken the time to heal properly.

That's Zoe on the left. She is for Aching Dreams 3, and she will be a character without an important job. I know it seems defacto that every character always has something (there was a thief, a detective, a treasure hunter, and a ghost hunter last game) but Zoe is going to concentrate on a very personal relationship type of story. It might have to do with something I've been going through.

So thanks guys for taking the time to read these stories instead of just hold spacebar, lol.

I can work consistently now, so expect things. Soon.

Merry Christmas

No, the content is not ready yet. Yes, I still plan on releasing this, along with the voice pack. I'm just asking you guys to not give up hope. I haven't. I'll get back to you guys when the pack is near completion

Larissa WIP

Larissa is a corrections officer. In the pic, on the right I decided to put up my pencil version. Hoohoo! How crappy I do draw with pencils! A good comparison, at least visually, will be to Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica. It's still a work in progress and while I was drawing the shotgun I accidentally erased part of her ass.

Shotgun Holster.

Carmen and Jeanne p1h1

After going on hiatus, I'm ready to get back onto things.

Carmen and Jeanne will come out... I'm thinking about just finishing the assets and showing it to yall, because getting it to actually fit in that flash file is ridiculous at this point. Ridiculous because of a myriad of technical issues regarding the flash, the amount of text lines to put in coupled with the Andrograde upgrades, everything basically doesn't fit, and it's a miracle I got it to fit in last time. Is there any new gameplay? Well I suppose if you feel like playing through Carmen and Jeanne again, and Catherine adds some challenges to the game like getting a lot of money. Voices...well... I'll put in what I have.

Aching Dreams 3. Winter 2012. Hopefully the world will end first.

Thanks for holding on.
